chapter 696


    Annabel would get nervous looking at Charmine, and she might even feel embarrassed and restrained facing her. She did not want to enter


    with the thought of affecting Annabel''s mood.


    Anthony did not insist as he reached out to ruffle her head. "Wait for me here." 1


    Afterforting her, he walked inside.


    Charmine watched on through the ss window, and she grew more nervous.


    She had sorted outpany-rted matters... Would her rtionship be as sessful?


    If it all went well, she would get to marry Anthony and, once and for all, be his wife, byw and by promise.


    Charmine somehow epted that, and she was undeniably excited.


    She hoped that all would be well.


    However...


    Charmine grew antsy as Nial held the examination''s result.


    He looked at Anthony solemnly.

    Anthony frowned. "How did it go?”


    "She’s pregnant, but...” Nial hesitated for a moment, sighed, and continued, ''To put it in a simpler term,


    the embryo is very unstable, and there are signs of a potential miscarriage. However, it’s merely a


    formation of cells for now, and it''s still unknown whether the embryo could develop in the future. The


    results show that her body isn’t in the best condition, and it might be hard in the future. I''m worried that


    the embryo won''t develop, though we can only verify in three months'' time. Therefore, she shouldn’t be


    irritated in the following three months. If she fails, with her current health condition, she can only go


    through an operation in half a year''s time." 2


    Nial emphasized, ’Half a year''s time.'' It was a firm warning.


    Although he supported Anthony to be with Charmine, he was Chris’ uncle, and he wanted to save him.


    With the given situation, he only hoped that Anthony and Charmine could keep it low.


    Waverly warned, "The patient is very unstable. All my patients would’ve had some positive


    improvements after such a long time of therapy, but she''s only sleeping four hours per night right now,


    and that''s far from enough for a pregnant woman. If this goes on, hypnosis would be useless as her


    body grows immune to hypnosis, making it lose its effectiveness. This will result in her illness being


    incurable by anything. Furthermore, after my long-hour observation, I realized that when President


    Bailey is in the hospital during the day, she could sleep better with better sleep quality. President Bailey


    should take more time to visit her in the hospital." 3


    Annabel instantly shot up from lying down. She blushed, trying to exin," No I don''t! Dr. D’Cruz, is


    your data mistaken? I really don''t need President Bailey toe more often..."


    "You''re not being honest-you''re probably unaware of your actual thoughts even. You feel that you


    shouldn''t drag President Bailey into this, that you shouldn''t trouble him, and you don''t wish to affect his


    feelings or career. However, you''re terrified by your future, and you have a fear for President Bailey. It


    was your conscience and your sense of responsibility for Chris that forced you to ept taking this


    operation. 1


    "Yet, the more you force yourself to be okay with this, the more your health will worsen. What you


    should do is to gradually let it go: Don’t feel as if you''re troubling President Bailey, that you’d feel bad.


    You should treat President Bailey as your friend. You''re both now working together to save Momo, so


    you should both give out equally." 1


    Waverly''s gentle and soft voice analyzed and consulted.


    Outside the door, Charmine’s fists tightened as her chest became stuffy.


    The words resonated in her head:


    ''She shouldn''t be irritated in the following three months. If she fails, with her current health condition, she can only go through an operation in


    half a year''s time.''


    ''If this goes on, hypnosis would be useless as her body grows immune to hypnosis, making it lose its effectiveness. This will result in her


    illness being incurable by anything.'' 1


    The operation could only take ce in half a year, while Chris had the risk of another seizure within half a year.


    What if this problem continued until he was eight?


    What if the first, second, and third operation all failed? What if the operation could not seed until Chris was eight?


    Hypnosis was the only way to cure Annabel, but if even Waverly could not aid her, Annabel was done for.


    If that happened, Chris'' illness...


    Charmine’s eyes darkened. At that very moment, she silently made her decision.
