Chapter 488
The early days of pregnancy were always challenging, but as Gabby reached the three-month mark, her morning sickness finally
began to subside. With a newfound appetite, she was determined to make up for lost time, and she devoured every fortifying
dish she could get her hands on, hoping to replenish what her baby had missed in those tough first weeks.
Grant exhaled a sigh of relief. His patience was rewarded as he anticipated the arrival of their child. asionally, he''d chat with
Gabby, specting whether the little one in her belly was a boy or a girl.
With the worst behind her, Gabby’s belly grew more pronounced by the day, and at five months, she was visibly pregnant. One
morning, as she washed her face, a sudden dizziness overwhelmed her, and before she could cry out, darkness enveloped her
vision, and she crumpled to the floor.
The household staff, who had been attending to Gabby, were terrified. They rushed her to the estate''s clinic and immediately
informed Grant.
Grant burst into the clinic, gripped the doctor''s coat, and demanded, “What the hell happened? How could she just pass out like
that?”
The doctor’s face was etched with concern. “Sir, it’s likely that Gabby has developed a severe case of lymphoma. It hasn’t
spread yet, but I’m afraid the baby... the baby may no longer be viable."
"What?! How is that possible? How could she have lymphoma? And how could the baby just stop growing?!" Grant was in
disbelief, bombarding the doctor with questions.
His raised voice roused Gabby from unconsciousness. She woke to the devastating news, and tears streamed down her face.
Could it be? The child she had longed for, was gone just like that?
No! Impossible!
Struggling to sit up, Gabby pleaded with the doctor, "No, please check again. | don''t believe it. | can''t believe my baby has
stopped growing!"
Grant, seeing her awake, rushed to her side. "Calm down and lie back," he urged.
Gabby shook her head, sobbing uncontrobly. "The doctor said my baby stopped growing! But he''s been fine, growing inside
me. It can''t be true! It just can''t!"
Grant understood her pain and agony. He softly patted Gabby''s back, "It''s okay, the doctor must have it wrong. Lay back down,
and let him give you another check-up, okay?”
With that, Grant helped Gabby lie back on the hospital bed, just likeforting a child. After settling Gabby, Grant quickly pulled
the doctor out of the room, not wanting to upset Gabby further.
As soon as they left, Gabby quietly got off the bed. Not even bothering to put on her shoes, she stood quietly at the door to
eavesdrop on Grant and the doctor''s conversation.
“Are you sure she has lymphoma?" Grant asked the doctor in a deep voice, "Why wasn''t it discovered earlier? What are you
doing?"
The doctor lowered his head guiltily, "Sir, the initial symptoms of lymphoma are not very obvious, and Gabby was very resistant
to a thorough examination, so..."
"Enough!" Grant was furious, he red coldly at the doctor, "You said earlier, our child''s development has stopped?"
"Sir, | only said it''s likely. Carrying a child in the presence of cancer could affect the fetus. We can only detect a faint heartbeat for
now. If the cancer cells continue to spread, his development will be terminated." Noticing some hesitation, the doctor still
instructs Grant directly, "Sir, in order to slow down the spread of Gabby''s cancer cells, | suggest removing the fetus immediately.
This could buy her some more time."
"But | would still die, right?" Gabby couldn''t hold it anymore. She pushed the door open and looked defiantly at Grant, "Please
don''t take away our child. My life has already been ruined, but please do everything you can to keep our child, the only bloodline
Ihave in this world."
As Gabby cried uncontrobly, barefoot on the floor, Grant''s heart was in great pain. He held her close and walked her back to
her bed, "Don''t worry, the doctors are here. Both you and the baby will be fine."
Gabby held Grant''s arm tightly, pleading, "No, Grant, | never asked you for anything, but now | beg you, don''t worry about my
condition. It''s not important! | only ask you to do everything you can to save our child! Please, don''t take him away!"
Grant wiped away Gabby''s tears, whispering, "It''s alright, honey. I''ll take care of you both, and won''t let anything hurt you. Trust
me.
Gabby shook her head, "You don''t
