Chief Doctor, Please Stop

Chapter 1 Life or Death

The rain is pouring down, as if a gray curtain has been thrown over the entire city. People gasp as they walk through the streets.

In the empty and depressed clearing, parks a black commercial vehicle. A short distance in front of the car, a cool and graceful woman stands there holding an umbrella, and opposite to her stands a young girl.

The girl is not holding an umbrella. She just stands in the rain with her head up, staring at the woman.

"Nino, figure it out for yourself. Do you want this bastard to live or die?"

Her voice is cold, as if it comes from an ice cellar, without any warmth.

"Mom, this child is also of the Jing family's blood. You can't do that to him!" Nino is still trying to convince the woman in front of her.

Nino strokes her slightly bulging belly with both hands. She has never felt so cold and helpless as she does at this moment.

"Bah!" Chaney spits with contempt, "You're nothing but a whore. You don't deserve to bear the Jing family's child."

"I'm not a whore!!!"

Nino's eyes are blood red and she shouts through the rain.

"Your mother is a whore, and you're no better!"

"My mother is not a whore! She's not!"

Chaney smirks contemptuously, "Nino, there's only one end to this bastard, and that's death! He'll either die in your stomach or in the hospital. I will never let him live to see the sun of this world!!!"

Nino stumbles backwards, staring in horror at the cruel woman in front of her, "You are a devil!!!"

Yes! She's indeed a devil who can even trouble her own son. So what is it that she can't do?

"If you won't have an abortion, that's fine! I'll let you carry the baby for ten months so you can love him for ten months. Then when the day he is born...I will also let you watch how he dies slowly...with your own eyes..."

"No, don't..."

Nino has lost control. She shakes her head and screams, and her eyes fills with terror, "How can you do this to him. He's your grandson, your own grandson..."

"You're crazy!!!"

Nino yells through gritted teeth. But suddenly, a scalpel appears in her hand.

In the next second, before anyone can react, she raises her hand and directly plunges the sharp scalpel into her left abdomen....

"Ah-" A heart-breaking scream cuts through the gray sky.

Blood spurts out of her stomach and dribbles all over the ground, making a shocking sight to behold.

"It hurts..." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Nino lies in a pool of blood. Her face turns deathly pale.

Chaney finally lifts her lips in satisfaction at the sight of her bloody body.

"Nino, if you don't get the hell out of S City, then next, your mother, that bitch, is going to end up the same way as the bastard in your belly. You know what you should do!"

Chaney is gone.

In the heavy rain, Nino lies on the ground, unconscious. She struggles to get the phone from her pocket.

"Save...save me, Yanntie, save my child..."

Four years later, in the Dion Decor International, City A,

"Finally, I can get off work."

Nino hammers her sore shoulders and begins clearing her desk for the end of the day.

"Nino, why are you in such a hurry to get off work? Are you going to see your son?" Sheehan asks. She's Nino's colleague.

"Yes!" Nino smiles, her face glowing with happiness that she can't hide, "I'll go first! Bye."

She waves her hand and hurries off from work, heading to the hospital.

"It seems that Yannis' condition has stabilized quite a bit lately." Sheehan looks at Nino's back and sighs happily.

"How do you know?" Mungan asks curiously. She is also Nino's colleague.

"Well! It depends on her mood. Her face is a barometer of Yannis' condition, and it's written on her face whether Yannis is well or not!"

"That's true." Mungan nods approvingly, "Nino's under quite a bit of stress. Not only is she a single mom, but her son has leukemia! Her son is a very sweet boy! But he needs to have frequent chemotherapy. Not only will this be too much for the child to bear, but Nino doesn't have the money to support her son's treatment!"

"Well, we can only pray that they find the matching bone marrow soon."

In the Farren Hospital,

Nino hurriedly squeezes into the overcrowded elevator and presses the button for the tenth floor.

As the elevator rises, people go up and down each floor. When it reaches the tenth floor, Nino immediately squeezes out of the elevator and makes her way to room 1023.

She pushes open the door to the ward, but it is empty. Her son is not in the ward.

Nino is in a hurry. She goes out and grabs a nurse who happens to pass by her door and asks, "Nurse, where's my son? Have you seen my son?"
