In Tokyo, the doorbell of Mizuki Kudo's house was rang by Sakura Nakano. Mitsuki Kudo, who was affected by this conditioned reflex, went to open the door and met her best friend from childhood to adulthood.

Before Sakura Nakano entered the door, she said, "Is Aunt Wakana at home?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo said truthfully: "Not here." I'm the only one in the house. ”

Sakura Nakano blurted out, "That's great." ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't understand what she really meant, and mistakenly thought that her mother was not at home, so that the two of them could be unscrupulous.

Sakura Nakano, who had changed her shoes at the entrance, took the initiative to take Mitsuki Kudo's hand and walked straight to the sofa in the living room before turning around and sitting down with the other party. She said seriously: "Mitsuki, I'm pregnant." ”

Kudo Mitsuki was immediately surprised, a pair of eyes were open, and he consciously looked at her abdomen and said, "Really? ”

Nakano Sakura still said with a serious expression: "How could I make a boring joke with you about such a thing." ”

Mitsuki Kudo suddenly had a strong premonition and said, "Who is this child's father?" ”

Sakura Nakano has told the truth: "Shuichi's." ”

Although Mitsuki Kudo is mentally prepared for this answer, she really can't accept it when she says it from the mouth of her best friend. She fell into a deep thought.

Kudo Mizuki Masasei said, "Does Shuichi know that you are pregnant?" ”

Sakura Nakano said, "I haven't had time to tell him yet." When I found out I was pregnant, the first person that came to my mind was you. ”

Mitsuki Kudo knew that this was her trust in herself and said, "Do you have any plans?" ”

Nakano Sakura was taken aback for a moment, misunderstood the meaning of her words and said, "Do you mean to let me kill the child in my belly?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo said bluntly: "No. How could you think that? ”

Sakura Nakano said truthfully: "Not only is Shuichi married, but he has also become a city councilor in Wakayama City. If this one thing is exposed, his political career will be completely ruined.

I naturally thought that in order to save my brother's future, you asked me to kill the child in my womb. In this way, the trouble can be completely solved. ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't say wrongly: "Even if Shuichi's political future is ruined, he is to blame." Before he got married, I won't say anything about how you are.

After he got married, he still ...... You are also confused, how to ...... with him Hey, I don't even know what to say about you. Do you mean you want to give birth to your own baby? ”

Sakura Nakano nodded and said, "That's what I mean." ”

Mitsuki Kudo didn't say the slightest and laughed: "You're so confused! Could it be that you don't plan to marry in the future? ”

Nakano Sakura said reasonably: "I want to follow Aunt Wakana." ”

Mitsuki Kudo cried and laughed: "Back then, my dad didn't know about it at all. Are you planning to start a new life in a city where you don't know you without telling Shuichi?

It's not that I'm specifically trying to scare you, it's definitely not easy for you to feed your children alone. You know, I'm a journalist.

I'm going to talk about a real number. According to the OECD, the poverty rate of single-parent families in Japan is nearly 60%, the worst among OECD countries.

Even in 2015, when the poverty rate had fallen, the poverty rate for single-parent households reached 50.8 per cent. According to a 2017 survey of single-parent families conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, 36% of single-parent families have experienced having trouble with three meals.

I tell you very responsibly, and it is also my personal experience, that children who grow up in poor families will be very prone to low self-esteem. ”

Nakano Sakura's mind immediately recalled the situation when the two of them were children and said, "Mitsuki, I know that you are for my good. However, I really wanted to give birth to this one child. ”

Mitsuki Kudo said seriously: "Why don't you think about it again?" Especially tell Xiuyi about this matter, and after listening to what he means, it's not too late to make a decision. ”

Nakano Sakura and Pan confessed the thing she was most worried about and said, "What if Shuichi doesn't plan to have this child?" ”

Mitsuki Kudo doesn't think that the other party is worrying about the sky. With his in-depth knowledge of his brother, he would do this nine times out of ten.

Mitsuki Kudo smiled bitterly: "You ask me, then who should I ask?" No matter what I say to you, you will always be the one who makes the final decision. Even if Xiuyi lets you get rid of the child, you don't want to, right? ”

Nakano Sakura nodded again and said, "In addition to the crystallization of love between me and Shuichi, he is still a living person." ”

Mitsuki Kudo explained, "At this stage, the fetus in your womb is not yet a human, just an embryo. However, after a long time, it will really become human.

When the time comes, if you want to kill the child in the womb, the regular hospital will never do it. Unless you have complete formalities and reasons.

Not only that, but the risk of surgery is also high, and it can only be used to induce labor rather than abortion. If it really comes to this point, it is basically regarded as murder.

Even if the baby is still, a forensic examination is required. As far as I know, it was to take the lungs out of the dead baby and put them in the water to see if it was sinking or rising.

The sinking of the lungs proves that the dead baby died of suffocation in the mother's womb, so there is no need to bear any legal responsibility.

Conversely, if the lungs of a dead baby are raised, it is sufficient to prove that the death of suffocation occurred after birth. At that time, even if the police suspect that it was a premeditated murder, it will not be an exaggeration.

Even if you do it without knowing it, so that the police can't find any evidence at all, it is difficult to escape the self-condemnation of personal conscience, after all, normal people have emotions. ”

Nakano Sakura said bluntly: "Mitsuki, what you said is too scary. I definitely didn't think about it that way. ”

Mitsuki Kudo said in her heart: "If my bastard brother has to ask you to kill the child, you shouldn't be too sad and sad, let alone have suicidal thoughts."

Because it's not worth it at all. At that time, you still have made up your mind to give birth to the child, and that's fine. I'll go and explain it to my mom for you.

In any case, the child in your womb is the blood and bones of our family. As for money, you don't have to worry about it at all. Even if my mom doesn't come out, I'll come out and help you to the end.

I'm not going to let your child go down the same path I once did. At this point, don't worry, I will do what I say. ”

Sakura Nakano fully believed in her person, and was moved to tears, "Thank you, Mitsuki." ”
