When a snail falls in love | Liskook

Chapter 70

"I'm pregnant."

The morning light outside the window was dim and the room was warm and quiet. The two of them looked at each other for a moment and did not say anything.

Jungkook was a little dumbfounded by the news he was hearing so early in the morning. Even so, recovering from his shock, a sense of happiness rapidly flowed into his heart; he felt like lush green meadows have suddenly sprouted around his drab and dry heart.

He pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Don't I always wear condoms? You're on contraceptive medication too."

There was a period of time whereby Jungkook did not wear a condom and Lisa was taking a long-lasting safety contraceptive medication that had just been introduced into the market. She answered sullenly, "Maybe the medication didn't work because the weather in Lin City is so humid, also didn't your condom break that one time you came?"

Jungkook stared at her for a moment, then wrapped her hands in his palm and apologized. "It's my fault."

Lisa lowered her head and did not reply.

Jungkook's heart broke a little when he saw how sullen she looked.

He would not be too surprised if Lisa wanted to abort this child. She had just graduated from the police academy and she was still young. Moreover, she never had plans to give birth. In addition to this, she was very independent and ambitious whilst the birth of a child would severely impede her.

Nonetheless, with the way Jungkook was brought up, he felt that abortion was something that should never happen.

Furthermore, how could he let her get an abortion? It would cause too much damage to her body.

He raised his head to look at her quiet, pale face, and he felt his heart tremble. However, he would undoubtedly convince her to keep the child. As he was about to speak up and say something, he saw her lift her head up and look at him with a determined look on her face.

Jungkook held his breath.

Lisa stared at him and said, "I still need to go to the hospital for a check-up to confirm it, but I'm most likely pregnant."

She paused for a short while before continuing, "Frankly, if I'm really pregnant, then I will keep this child regardless of what you think."

The sky outside the window was getting brighter and their surroundings were almost surreal as Jungkook looked at her dark, clear eyes and felt a warmth surging into his heart.

Lisa saw how Jungkook had remained silent, she frowned slightly and continued to explain in an orderly manner. "I made this decision after careful considerations, since twenty-five to twenty-six years old is the best age for women to conceive, and abortion would indefinitely damage the body. Moreover, this is, after all, a human life, I can't just..."

"Okay." He interrupted her sentence in his low-pitched voice. Jungkook pulled her towards his chest, then looked down and kissed her.

Only after kissing her passionately did he let go of her and stared at her very intensely with deep, thoughtful eyes. Then he suddenly started smiling. "If you want to give birth so bad, then I guess we have reached a decision." Lisa could not help but laugh.

She was feeling down the entire night when she had first found out that she was pregnant. Even though she had promptly made up her mind, it was still a very serious matter and she was not prepared for it, so how could she relax? Therefore, the obvious joyful and affirmative look on Jungkook's face comforted her greatly.
