Chapter 123 The Uncertainty of the birth
Xicheng Maternity Hospital, specialist department.
Jessica takes off her burdensome black sunglasses, scarf and mask and then hands the laboratory test
results to the doctor.
The doctor who has been treating her is quite old and has a lot of white hair on his sideburns. He is
wearing a pair of delicate and exquisite glasses and stares at the test sheet for a while, then shakes his
head and sighs.
Upon seeing this, Jessica begins to worry and asks, “Doctor, these last two days I have paid lots of
attention in ensuring I take adequate rest, have you pushed back the announcement, or is there still no
hope?”
The doctor takes off his glasses and shakes his head,
"I looked at the results of the ultrasound, and I also checked the results of these tests. The results are
similar to those of the last test, but even worse. I asked an expert in the hospital for consultation and
we both unanimously recommend that we need to induce labour. This baby cannot remain inside of
you, if the baby remains inside the womb and becomes a stillbirth, then the harm to your body will be
irreversible.”
Jessica’s face turns pale instantly, she then stands up abruptly, and says anxiously,
“Doctor, is there really no other way? This child is very important to me; no matter if I need to take
medicine or remain in the hospital; I’m willing to spend any money necessary…”
“This isn’t a question of money… Miss, I advise you to take our recommendation into consideration.”
Jessica’s legs soften, and she slowly slumps down on the chair while supporting herself with the corner
of the table, her whole body seems to have been drained of a soul, and she is not able to recover for a
long time.
The doctor frowns and says, “You are still young, but I’m afraid there is no hope for your child, so from
now on look after yourself well and then it will be possible for you to have another one in the future.”
A long time passes when she looks up at the doctor and says, “Doctor, please do not tell my husband
about this, ok?”
The doctor hesitates for a short time, “I feel it is necessary you discuss this matter with him…”
“This is the first child with my husband, I fear he will be unable to bear this, so I think it’s better to wait a
bit, I will tell him, so I hope for now you can help me keep it a secret.”
She is not able to let Frankie know about this, ever since the scandal between Jenny and Luke was
exposed, she noticed that Frankie had become more and strange and odd, as if he was not able to
accept the reality of this fact, it’s been a few times already where she discovered that Frankie was
secretly arranging to meet Jenny in private.
She is unable to let the happiness she has acquired be destroyed by this child.
At least not until she has obtained the marriage certificate with him.
A silver bank card is slowly being pushed onto the side of the test sheet. The doctor panics and
glances at the door subconsciously, "What are you doing, take it away quickly..."
“This is just me showing you how appreciative I am of you, the whole time I have been pregnant you
have been looking after me, I feel very grateful for this, and therefore I wanted to repay you long ago,
so please accept this.”
Jessica pushes the card with a polite smile on her face which no one is able to refuse.
The doctor frowns, and says with a sense of righteousness, “Jessica, doctors are all kind-hearted, we
treat all patients equally, what you are doing is making me…”
“There is 200,000 on this card and there is no pin…”
Jessica’s words shock the doctor.
“I heard that you recently found a match for your daughter’s heart, and now are preparing for surgery.
This is just a small gift, so please do not refuse.”
“You…”
The doctor’s face is tense and stiff, however unable to say anything.
He has practiced medicine for decades and has never accepted a bribe; however the heavens seem to
be unwilling to look after an honest and sincere person like himself. His daughter has congenital heart
disease and the expensive hospital and medicine fees have broken and left the family poor, it took a
long time for a match to be found for her heart, however now the cost of the surgery has put him into a
difficult predicament once more.
This 200,000 is enough to save his daughter’s life.
“Ok, doctor, I don’t need you to disregard your conscience to help me do this, I just need you to say a
few good things about the current situation of our child when he asks.”
Saying what she wants him to say, will go against his decades of hard work.
Frankie is waiting outside the door when Jessica goes out.
“Doctor, how is the baby doing?”
Although there have been a lot of upsetting things that have happened recently he has always wanted
a child. This child is now his greatest hope and the thing that his whole family desires more than
anything.
The doctor’s gaze is somewhat imperceptible, and he pushes his glasses unnaturally, "Sir, Jessica and
the baby are both fine, but Jessica is extremely exhausted. You must pay more attention to her rest,
the critical period has passed and now, and as long as she experiences no rough collisions then
everything will be ok.”
“Alright, thank you.”
Frankie smiles, turns around to support Jessica and stretches out his hand to touch her stomach
gently, "Did you hear that little guy? The doctor says you are very strong!"
“The baby is still so young, how is the baby able to hear you.” Jessica’s expression is a little unnatural.
“Of course the baby is able to hear me, prenatal education is very important.” Frankie supports her
shoulders, and takes her bag from her hands, “These next few days do not go back to the workplace,
take a good rest at home and do not go anywhere.”
“But I haven’t tried on the wedding dress yet!” Jessica frowns, “The doctor is talking nonsense, don’t
listen to him. I’m not in weak condition, I can still go outside, and I want to eat dinner with you every
evening.”
“I made the owner of the wedding dress shop send the dress to the house, I will return earlier tonight,
so you don’t need to come to the firm.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
Jessica touches her stomach, lowers her head and gives an agonised smile, her voice a little intricate,
“Frankie, you really are so good to me.”
“You are the mother of the child, why would I not be good to you.”
Jessica raises her head; her gaze falls onto the side of Frankie’s face, his expression recently has
been one of a rare gentleness that she hasn’t seen in a long time.
She really does not want to spoil this atmosphere, therefore she must hold tightly onto the baby inside
her stomach.
…
A few days after signing the so-called pre-marital supplementary agreement with Luke, Jenny has been
living in her small apartment. Luke did not intend for her to move back there, the grandmother also
made several calls to urge her to go back, however she declined using the excuse of being busy with
work.
In this situation, both parties need to stay calm and alone for two days, she still hasn’t thought about
what kind of attitude she should have facing such a brand new kind of relationship.
At 8:30 on Friday evening, the show released its first season, the ratings of this show overcame the
variety show that had always occupied the top spot and became number one, after all it had the power
of the well-known female movie stars taking part, in addition the people involved with the show and the
video clips from the variety show also occupied first place on this list for a whole week.
However this week, Shawn uninstalls all the social media software on Jenny’s phone and directly
confiscates her phone.
“Are the people on the internet crazy? And the people involved with the programme, you and Michael
who have never been in contact with one another, how were they able to edit him into CP?
Victoria cannot resist smashing the tablet in her hands, while her shoulders shake in anger.
Jenny leans back on the sofa and shrugs, "It was agreed upon when signing the contract. No matter
what kind of editing the programme group do, we can't interfere. Michael has too many fans, and even
if it wasn’t me, any female artist and her partners would be scolded." C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
“My god, why does this paragraph talk about Michael’s gentle and tender fondness of woman, and to
include you, that time in the swimming competition when you became the champion of the whole
school…”
“…”
“God, these lunatics…”
