There was a woman standing in the corner of the street, she was chewing gum and looked very frustrated. I walked to her and asked “what’s the matter?” Suddenly she cried. A few minutes later, she was calm and said that she missed her deceased husband who was dead due to taking drugs overdose half month ago. These days, she felt uncomfortable and dizzy and wanted to vomit. So she went to see a doctor, the doctor told her that she was pregnant. When she heard of the news , she shocked. She walked out of the hospital slowly and standing in the cornet of the street, and she didn’t know how to do.
