    Chapter 572 Encountering ire


    Saturday arrived in a blink of an eye, and it was time for Avery to attend the checkup at the hospital


    with Alina.


    Cayden was busy, so he couldn''t apany Avery. Still, he asked Jake to drive Avery to the hospital.


    Additionally, he asked Avery to take a picture of the examination reports for him.


    Just as Avery arrived at the hospital entrance, she received a call from her aunt. “I''m in Room 606. It''s


    at building No. 6. Once you arrive, you can go in directly.”


    Avery followed her aunt''s direction and headed to her destination. However, when she arrived at the


    hospital''swn, she saw ire in a business suit.


    ire was clutching her chest with a wince and hurrying to the hospital entrance.


    Then, she vanished into a corner without spotting Avery.


    Avery wanted to greet her but couldn''t do it in time.


    Furrowing her eyebrows, she wondered why ire seemed to be in such a hurry. Is she sick? Why isn''t


    anyone by her side? Also, for some reason, every time I see her, I''d experience a strange, pleasant


    feeling, even though she''s Nicole''s mother. She told me to leave Cayden in the past, but that somehow


    doesn''t diminish the familiarity I felt toward her.


    She shook her head, halting her thoughts, and resumed her journey.


    A few minutester, she arrived at the room her aunt mentioned.


    She knocked on the door and went in.


    Jake waited on the bench in the corridor.


    Inside the office, a middle-aged female specialist with sses examined Alina''s mammary nd by


    hand.


    “Your situation isn''t looking good, Alina. I think you need an operation. If you drag this out, your


    condition will only worsen,” the specialist uttered seriously as she stared at Alina with a sorry look.


    Alina grimly touched her chest with tears in her eyes.


    When she saw Avery entering the room, she stifled her sorrow and waved at her niece with a smile.


    “This is my niece that I mentioned to you before, Avery Rumpley. Please give her a checkup today as


    well. As you said, this cancer is likely to be passed down from generation to generation, so I''m worried


    she might end up like me.”


    Then she pulled Avery''s hand and introduced her to the doctor. “Ery, this is Gigi. She''s a professor who


    graduated from Dellmoor University and majors in mammography. Currently, she''s the doctoral


    supervisor at Summerbank University''s Department of Medicine. She''s particrly experienced in


    treating breast cancers and is the mammography expert here. I''ll feel more at ease if she personally


    examines you.”


    Inparison to the stylish Alina, Gigi Larson appeared quite in.


    However, she had a wise and refined vibe to her.


    Avery greeted politely, “Nice to meet you, Gigi.”


    Immediately, Gigi took a liking to the meek and well-mannered Avery.


    As she studied Avery, she joked, “I didn''t expect your niece to be all grown-up and be this beautiful,


    Alina. You sure hid her well from me. If I knew you had such a gorgeous niece, I would''ve asked my


    son to chase after her. Then, we''d be inws. Tsk, I bet you only revealed her existence now because


    you''re about to be a grandaunt. I''m disappointed, Alina.”


    “Forget about it. Your son lives in Jetroina and only returns here a few times yearly. I don''t want my


    niece to marry someone who lives in another country. Women who did do that tend to be unlucky. If


    something bad happens to them, they can''t evenin about it to someone. I prefer my Ery to stay


    in the country.” Alina sighed.


    In response, Gigi patted Alina''s shoulder. She knew her friend was thinking about something sad again,


    so she said, “I was just kidding with you, Lina. Don''t let those negative emotions break into your heart,


    and stop thinking about all those nonsense again. Understand?”


    Avery could tell her aunt had a great rtionship with Gigi, despite their apparent bickering.


    Worryingly, she asked, “What''s my aunt''s current condition, Gigi?” I think I heard her mentioning that


    Aunt Alina''s condition would worsen when I came in. However, Aunt Alina always seemed so


    immacte and in peak condition. Sometimes, I''d even forget she''s a cancer patient.


    “Your aunt, she...” Mncholy settled on Gigi''s face.


    Before Gigi could speak the truth, Alina interrupted, “My body''s fine. I just need to take my medicine


    daily to control my condition. Please examine Ery''s body now, Gigi.”


    Once the examination was brought up, Gigi promptly regained her professionalism as a doctor and


    asked Avery plenty of questions.


    As she asked, she recorded the answers on herptop. It was obvious she was verypetent at her


    job.


    Then she carefully examined Avery''s mammary nd by hand and discovered zero lumps.


    Smiling, she reported, “Your niece''s mammary nd is in great condition, Lina. There are no issues


    with it.”


    Nevertheless, that wasn''t enough to ease Alina''s worry. “How about you perform an ultrasound


    examination on her? Otherwise, my doubts won''t leave me.”


    Hesitantly, Avery asked, “I''m pregnant right now, Aunt Alina. Will the ultrasound examination affect the


    baby?”


    Gigi assured, “Don''t worry. The ultrasound doesn''t involve radiation, so it won''t negatively impact your


    child.”


    Upon receiving the doctor''s guarantee, Avery underwent the examination without worry.


    When the report came out, it indicated that Avery was perfectly fine.


    She proceeded to undergo a series of mammary nd examinations. All the reports showed green.


    Seeing that Avery''s mammary nd was doing absolutely fine, Gigi asked the former questions about


    her pregnancy. When Avery told Gigi she was twenty-two weeks pregnant, thetter suggested the


    former consume glucose and screen for gestational diabetes through a blood test.


    Avery''s monthly prenatal checkup was conducted by a family doctor.


    When she recalled how it was about time for that checkup, she thought performing the examination at


    the hospital she was in was eptable. So, she agreed.


    Alina promptly apanied Avery to have thetter''s blood drawn.


    To Avery''s surprise, she met ire again.


    Her blood was drawn at Window No. 1 while ire was at Window No. 2.


    ire was stunned when she noticed Avery''s baby bump.

    Then she smiled at Avery. I always have this strange feeling whenever I see Avery. Even though she


    sabotaged my daughter''s romantic rtionship and caused Nickie''s mental breakdown, I just can''t


    bring myself to hate her. Is it because her deceptively innocent face makes it impossible for anyone to


    hate her?


    Just as Avery was going to ask ire about thetter''s condition, she heard the nurse drawing blood at


    the side speaking. As Avery and ire faced the nurse, the nurse spoke to ire professionally. “You


    may pick up the result with your daughterter at the same time, ma''am.
