The child saved face for him

Mr. Wang is a very decent man, but has a humiliating marriage history. He and his wife were university classmates and had two miscarriages three years after their marriage due to examinations, and in the fourth year his wife gave birth to a son. The child was ten years old when he needed a blood transfusion due to a traumatic injury, and he had known for a long time that both of them were type O blood, and 100% of the son was also type O. Surprisingly, the son was type A! This revealed a big secret: the son he had loved for ten years was the result of his wife’s affair with her boss during his graduate studies! He broke down, divorced and drank in the confusion, and the pain of humiliation was planted in his soul, making it difficult to extricate himself. “My mission is to give birth to a son of my own, to save face in this life. I can die if I give birth to a son.” Seeing that I wanted to open my mouth, he waved his hand: “Don’t persuade me, it’s useless. Please help me. My current wife is a rural girl who is in good health, but she has not been pregnant for two years.” Sun Suling of the Reproductive Center of the PLA 101 Hospital I was quite upset by his misfortune, and although I could not change his perception, I was determined to help him. Alcoholism and mental pain had seriously jeopardized his fertility: severe prostatitis, less sperm and dead sperm. Three months of a combination of Chinese and Western medicine and physiotherapy had little effect. In the end, I had to implement IVF, an assisted conception technique, for the couple. One month after the operation, the ultrasound showed a double pregnancy. His simple wife, who loved him and had suffered a lot, immediately cried out, “We can finally live together.” And he sat aside and muttered, “I hope one of them is a son.”    Yesterday, the phone in the office rang, and it was Mr. Wang’s voice almost shouting: “Dr. Sun, it’s a birth, two sons!” Then came the dull choking sound that made it impossible not to be moved.
