Chapter 1974 Sea King
- Lin Qian retrieved her phone and dialed Lin Xi's number. Afterward, she bowed her head to focus on her noodles. Thoughts of Lin Xi inevitably led her to recall the news Georgie had shared - the doctor's confirmation of her pregnancy with Lin Xi's child. This unexpected development puzzled her, as she and Lin Xi had never shared such an intimate relationship before. The incident occurred on the night prior to her departure, when Lin Xi, in a drunken state, mistakenly engaged with her, perhaps confusing her for someone else.
- Despite her initial inclination to push him away, she hesitated, considering that their paths would likely never cross again after her departure. At their stage in life, farewells often marked permanent separations. Lin Xi's established presence and commitments in Country Z, along with his other romantic entanglements, further solidified her belief that their encounter was a fleeting moment.
- Reflecting on these circumstances, she sighed deeply, pondering the singular night that resulted in her pregnancy. Regret gnawed at her for not taking precautionary measures or seeking medication upon her return, assuming such a situation would not befall her in a single night. The prospect of single motherhood weighed heavily on her, fueled by her own experiences as an orphan and the fear of repeating her parents' abandonment.
