Chapter 567


    "Umm."


    "Your baby''s development indeed isn''t progressing too well,” the doctor spoke after a moment. "Did you say the examination two


    weeks ago showed that it was undersized by about two weeks?"


    "Yes. How about now?" Violette''s heartstrings were taut as she awaited the doctor’s verdict. If her baby''s growth had stopped,


    even if she wanted to keep the child, she would be helpless. She was prepared for the worst.


    "Could you show me thest ultrasound report?" The doctor set down the ultrasound probe and handed her a tissue.


    She took it, cleaned her abdomen, and handed the doctor the ultrasound report from her bag.


    After checking thest ultrasound report, the doctor said, "Although your baby''s development isn''t promising,pared tost


    time, there is still some progress. If you want to keep this baby, you can rest well, eat nutritious food, and monitor the situation."


    Violette''s hanging heart suddenly dropped.


    “Have you done the Down Syndrome screening?" The doctor printed this time''s ultrasound report and handed it to her.


    Violette shook her head.


    "You can do it now," the doctor solemnly said, "Did you eat breakfast this morning? If not, you can do it today."


    Down Syndrome screening was a check for congenital mental retardation or neural tube defects. If the baby had Down


    Syndrome, the child would have developmental dys, intellectual disabilities, and multiple organ development disorders or


    malformations.


    Violette knew she could do the Down Syndrome screening now, but she was scared. What if the test showed that the baby had a


    problem? She was afraid.


    Even though she had said she would keep the baby even if there were problems, facing such a result would still require


    enormous courage.


    "Ms. Dennis, your baby''s development is smaller than average, and it''s very necessary for you to do this test," sensing her


    hesitation, the doctor encouraged her, "If the child is unhealthy, it''s best to terminate the pregnancy. It''d be the best choice for


    both you and the baby."


    Violette murmured, "The best choice..."


    "Yes. Down Syndrome can''t be cured at present. Ms. Dennis, | know you''re a brilliant neurologist, but even you are helpless in


    the face of such diseases, aren''t you? If you can’t be sure that the child can have a normal life, it''s best to end the suffering in the


    womb."


    The words of the doctor calmed Violette''s emotions a lot. Her previous arguments with Elijah about the child werergely


    influenced by her subjective emotions. She med him for neglecting the baby''s health and being too cold-hearted, so she told


    Elijah that even if the baby had a problem, she would still give birth.


    "Please write me a referral," she finally said.


    After the doctor wrote the referral and handed it to her, the doctor said, "| wish you and your baby luck."


    "Thank you," she epted the referral and went to theb.


    There were quite a few people in theb. She had to wait for a while before it was her turn. After drawing blood, the doctor told


    her the results would be ready in a week.


    "Are there electronic results?" she asked.


    "Yes. We will send you a message.”Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
