Z City, Delivery Room.
Only 19 years old, Lan Xiaomai lay on the bed, gasping heavily.
Her eyes were filled with despair.
"Push hard! Your child is coming!" The doctor on the side urged.
Lan Xiaomai had been in pain for three days and three nights and didn't have any strength left.
Just a few days ago, she had passed out in her dormitory and was sent to the hospital, only to be told that she was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.
About to give birth, and she only just found out she was pregnant!
Absolutely absurd!
About nine months ago, Lan Xiaomai intended to work part-time to support her studies, but somehow ended up in bed with a man. All alone in this city without a single acquaintance, she dared not tell anyone about it. Unexpectedly, she ended up pregnant.
Her body was weak and she had been feeling nauseous and vomiting during that time, assuming that she was merely ill. She didn't even dare to see a doctor. As her belly slightly expanded, she thought she was just gaining weight, and didn't pay much attention.
"Lan Xiaomai, the baby is about to be born. Push a little harder, or we'll have to use forceps!" The doctor was becoming impatient.
Lan Xiaomai really had no strength left, moreover, she was filled with despair.
She was only 19 years old, having grown up with her grandparents. How was she supposed to raise this child?
"If you don't push harder and deliver her, she will suffocate and die! Let me tell you, if such a situation occurs, our hospital will not be held responsible."
Will she die?
Lan Xiaomai didn’t know where she found the strength, clenched her fists, and pushed once again!
“Wah…” The cry of a newborn stood for the arrival of a new life.
Lan Xiaomai felt a sudden lightness in her body as the doctor brought the newly born baby beside her.
"Look, this is your daughter."
Lan Xiaomai opened her eyes to look at the baby in the doctor's arms.
The little one looked so frail in the midwife's hands, her skin reddish with traces of blood. She was so tiny, so small that Lan Xiaomai didn't even dare to reach out and touch her.
"You're still a child yourself, yet you've had a child. Your parents should be here soon.."
Lan Xiaomai's smile froze on her face. She only had her aged grandparents at home, who might not be able to endure such a long car ride, right?
Moreover, they were traditional in their views. Having had a child, how could she face them?
…
"Lan Xiaomai, you're still a student! How could you commit such an act that ruins our school's reputation? I'm telling you, you are expelled!"
"Just look at Lan Xiaomai, she appears so country-bumpkin-like, who would have guessed she was that open? Just a year into college, and she's already had a baby!"
"They say the girls who appear modest on the outside, are the wildest in bed!"
Amidst her teacher's and classmates' ridicule, Lan Xiaomai walked out of the school gate carrying her own daughter.
She raised her head to look at the school sign.
If it weren't for the arrival of this child, she could have graduated smoothly from here, then found a job, and made her home in this big city. Perhaps in the future, she could even bring her grandparents over.
And now, all her dreams have become shattered!
Her life's trajectory has completely changed from this moment onward.
And the root of all these sins was the man who was with her that fateful night!
Lan XiaoMai looked at the infant in her arms, "Don't you worry, I will surely raise you well. I will also find that man and make him pay."
At those last two words, she clenched her teeth so tightly that they made a grating sound.
