1 Broken Dreams

At the final of the Olympic 10m air rifle.

In the noisy scene, the gunners were exceptionally calm.

"The prodigy, Lin Xing'er, has already won both the World Cup and World Championship. Will she be able to win the championship for the Olympics?

"Today's her 18th birthday as well. Can this gold medal be her 18th birthday present?

"Xing'er is about to hit her last shot. She's 3.8 points ahead of her rival. As long as she hits her last shot, the gold medal will be hers!"

Everyone was so focused on Lin Xing'er.

"Xing'er, if you win this, I'll date you."

The 18-year-old girl had a cute face as she was smiling happily. Suddenly, she frowned and a drop of sweat dripped down her cheek.

She felt dizzy, and her head hurt badly.

Her time was almost out, so she fired a shot based on her muscle memory and fainted on the field.

The audience burst into an uproar.

Lin Xing'er was sent to the medical room.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her coach standing by the bed.

"Sir, how many points did I get in the end?"

"6.4 points."

Lin Xing'er looked at her coach in shock. 0.2 points. She was just 0.2 points away from achieving her goal!

The coach looked at her with a serious expression. "You're pregnant."

Lin Xing'er jerked her head up and looked at her coach in shock. "How's that possible? I've never..."

She wanted to continue but stopped...

"You've really disappointed me! Packed up your things and go home! The team already knows about this. We'll deal with you after we return home!" Her coach left angrily.

The news of her pregnancy spread like wildfire. The foreign and local media were reporting about this.

"What is this? She's a jinx. She's a disgrace!"

"She's only 18, and she's already messing around with guys. Our country doesn't need such a talented but immoral lady!"

"Get out of the national team now!"

Almost in an instant, these curses came out of nowhere from everyone in the country.

The amount of praise that everyone had for her in the past was nothing compared to the amount of criticism that she was receiving!

Lin Xing'er still did not know what had happened. She took the plane back to China alone and could almost imagine what she would face when she returned.

Thinking that she would never be able to hold a gun again, her heart ached. Winning the gold medal in the Olympics had been her dream since she was five years old, but she might never be able to achieve this anymore.

Tears rolled down her face. She still did not know why she was pregnant.

How could she be pregnant? She had been training on the team. As the competition was approaching, she had been training very hard. She had not even come into contact with anybody. How could she be pregnant?

Impossible!

Suddenly, she widened her eyes and remembered the physical examination before her competition.

"I'm sorry, Miss Lin. A lady with the surname Lin came for in-vitro fertilization today. We made a mistake. We're really sorry."

"That's outrageous! In-vitro fertilization?"

"I'm sorry, it's our fault, but you shouldn't be pregnant. In-vitro fertilization usually takes a few times to complete. Also, we've seen your information, and it's not your ovulation period yet."

At that time, Lin Xing'er was mad, but she did not want to distract herself from the upcoming Olympic games, so she did not really care about it. She did not expect that she would actually be pregnant with such a small probability!

After getting off the plane, Lin Xing'er wanted to go to the hospital to seek an explanation.

However, as soon as she got off the plane, four men in suits and leather shoes suddenly stood in front of her.

"Are you Lin Xing'er?"

"Uhm... I'm..."

"It's her."

"What are you guys doing? Get away from me! Help!"

Before Lin Xing'er could cry out for help, they covered her mouth and took her away.

When the time she woke up, she could smell the scent of seawater. She could hear the sound of waves and seabirds.

Where was this place?
