I was in the operating room having 28 eggs retrieved, while Kellan was next door accompanying his little childhood sweetheart for an abortion procedure.
When the doctor called out the family member's name for the tenth time in the hallway, Kellan finally rushed over hurriedly.
He left only one sentence before hurriedly departing again.
"So many women are lining up for egg retrieval, what's there to be so fussy about!? You have to ask me about such a trivial matter, can't you make your own decision?"
In the operating room, I felt utterly hopeless and immediately called for the doctor to stop what he was doing.
I turned and called my best friend abroad, and booked a flight for seven days later.
But when I was really about to leave, Kellan panicked.
He found me with red-rimmed eyes, but the love was gone.

He Accompanied His lover, I Accepted the Egg Retrieval Surgery

"Doctor, we scheduled an appointment for IVF last time we were here. We're here today to give it a try."


"IVF? Didn't you decide not to go through with it?"


The doctor looked up, adjusting his glasses.


"Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? My darling and I have always loved children. How could we possibly not want one?"


Kellan silently took my hand under the doctor's desk.


The sweat on his palm told me he was nervous.


"Doctor, my name is Kellan, and my darling is Vivienne. We've even picked out names for our future children. We want a baby!"


Kellan repeated over and over, his palm getting sweatier. His thumb caressed the back of my hand, over the scar left from when he violently pulled out the IV last time.


I never thought I'd hear the word "darling" come out of his mouth again.


"Say something, honey. We've always wanted a child of our own, haven't we?"


Kellan suddenly tightened his grip on my hand.
