"Last night at the guesthouse in Spring Wind Town, I suddenly felt a heavy weight in my belly."
Han Dai burst into tears as she spoke, sobbing as she told me, "I felt a child sitting on my stomach, and it frightened me into fainting."
"Now that you mention the child, are you... afraid or worried?" I handed Han Dai a tissue.
Han Dai was momentarily at a loss for words, "I... am I afraid, or am I worried... I don't know..."
"Do you find the child more terrifying, or are you worried that the fetus in your belly won't survive?" I looked anxiously into Han Dai's fearful eyes.
Han Dai blurted out, "I'm afraid, the child even smiled at me, like a demon child from Hell. How could I carry such a monstrosity, Miss Wan..."
"It seems you have no affection for this child. Listening carefully to your account, it appears you haven't told me what you initially went to Lin Wanyan for."
