After I sent that sister to the hospital, I received a call from Sister Su.
As I voiced the doubts in my heart, there was a long silence on the other end of the line before Sister Su finally spoke up, saying, "I'm pregnant."
I had thought that to pry anything out of Sister Su's mouth would surely be a big ordeal, but I hadn't expected her to admit it so frankly.
For a moment, I was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say. Seeing that I remained silent, she continued to speak.
"You know, in our line of work, so many young, beautiful girls keep coming in, living it up, and playing around. Those of us who play the mistress, to put it bluntly, are just selling our youth, just selling ourselves. In good times, we can rake in more, but once we age and lose our luster, you know what the end looks like without me having to spell it out."
