In this life, I no longer want to be the foolish one.
I met Chris's gaze and made a more pitiful expression. "Yes, darling, I really don't want to get infected. How about I remove the IUD and you go for the surgery instead?"
Chris looked stunned, seemingly unable to believe his ears. "What did you say?"
"I said, you should go get a vasectomy!"
Now Chris couldn't keep up the pitiful act. He raised an eyebrow and looked at me. "Surgery carries risks. What if it fails and I lose my fertility?"
Seeing his panic, I felt that the nine years of childlessness seemed like a joke.
The female doctor coldly remarked. "Oh, so you weren't truly committed to being child-free."
Chris was speechless, a hint of panic crossing his eyes.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "What man wants to have this kind of surgery? People will just laugh at me as a castrated man."
I almost laughed in anger. "Laugh? Your parents called me a barren hen for nine years. Am I afraid of being laughed at?"
"If you don't want to be child-free, we can get a divorce and find someone who shares the same views."
