Chapter 522


    After confirming Felix’s wrist information and checking the IV bottle, the nurse began the IV infusion.


    When it was done, she changed Felix’s head bandage.


    Esther and Felix sat together, engrossed in their reading. Esther read a medical book while Felix


    tackled an introductory calculus book. They stuck to a timer-reading for an hour and then resting for 20


    minutes.


    Esther’s blood test results were also ready when Felix’s infusion finished.


    Agatha entered with a solemn expression, handing Esther a test report.


    Esther asked, “Grandma Foster, what does this mean?”


    “Show me Jasper’s report.”


    Agatha headed to the balcony after speaking. Esther retrieved Jasper’s test results and handed them


    to Agatha, who thenpared the HCG values.


    “Esther, this test result isn’t positive. Your HCG levels have doubled. The data is concerning, and


    you’re still anemic. Brace yourself mentally.”


    Agatha’s words struck Esther deeply.


    “Grandma Foster, I… I…”


    Though the child’s arrival wasn’t in Esther’s ns, she was resolved to keep it. But she never imagined


    that the child might not develop normally.


    “First, let’s do an ultrasound.”


    “Sure, when should I schedule it? Now?”


    Tears welled in Esther’s reddened eyes.


    Agathaforted her with a gentle pat on the shoulder. “Esther, pregnancy is nature’s process of


    selection. If you’remitted to doing everything to carry this child, I’ll do my best to support you. Don’t


    overthink it for now. Let’s go. I’ll take you for an ultrasound.”


    “Alright.”


    Worried that Felix might sense her turmoil, Esther tilted her head slightly upward, holding back her


    tears. She took a deep breath,posed herself, and left Felix in the care of the bodyguards. She then


    apanied Agatha to the hospital’s ultrasound room.


    Since Esther’s pregnancy was in the early stages, she needed to drink water before the ultrasound.


    She finally entered after downing four bottles of mineral water outside the ultrasound room.


    As soon as Agatha entered the ultrasound room, the doctor respectfully stood up and greeted her.


    “I’ll handle it.”


    Esthery on the bed beside the ultrasound machine, closing her eyes. She fervently wished for her


    baby’s healthy arrival.


    “Dr. Foster, here you go.”


    The cold instrument touching her abdorninal skin made Esther shiver involuntarily.


    Agatha focused on performing the ultrasound and only spoke after five minutes. “We’re done.”


    Esther’s voice quivered with anticipation. “Grandma Foster… how is it?”


    Agatha’s tone slowed, her face still somber. “It’s more serious than I anticipated.”


    Esther’s legs wobbled, her face drained of color. Agatha reached out to steady her.


    “Esther, given your current condition, even if we try to support the pregnancy, there’s only a 50%


    chance of sess. Take


    time to seriously consider whether you want to proceed.”Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.
