Matthew walked out of the medical examination room and went to the end of the corridor to give a
callback, the call was connected soon and Abbott also picked up the phone very soon.
“What happened?” Matthew asked.
“I’ve found out the things that you let me investigate.”
“Who was it?”
“Emma Bailey, Declan’s sixth older sister,” Abbott answered.
Matthew raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed like he was not so surprised - he already had some
guesses in his mind.
“Are you busy, Mr. Nelson? I wish to meet up with you.” Abbott stood in front of the window and said
while looking at the scenery outside.
“What happened?”
Abbott said insistently, “I wish to meet up with you and talk to you in person.”
Matthew lifted his hand and glanced at the watch, and then he said, “I’m free only during the night.”
“Then let’s meet up at night, in my office at the company,” Abbott said.
Matthew realized that there was something wrong with Abbott’s tone of voice, he said, “I’ll be there at
seven o’clock.”
He hung up the phone after saying.
He didn’t go back to the examination room immediately, he was thinking about why Abbott wanted to
meet up with him?
Abbott was behaving unusually.
In the examination room…
Dolores Flores lowered her head and asked, “Is the baby healthy, doctor.”
The doctor nodded, “The child is growing very well and is well developed from all aspects, but…”
“But what?” Dolores became anxious suddenly. She was so afraid of the doctor talking in this way,
saying that everything was fine at first, then followed by a comma.
“We’ll wait for Mr. Nelson to come back, then I’ll tell both of you in more detail, both of you need to
decide on what should be done next,” the doctor said seriously.
Dolores frowned, it seemed like this was a serious thing listening to the way the doctor talked, she
grabbed the doctor’s sleeve, “Can you please tell me first? If not, I can’t stop worrying.”
The doctor sighed when seeing that she was so anxious, “When you gave birth last time, did the doctor
tell you not to give birth again?”
Dolores nodded; the doctor did tell her before that her body was injured.
“It’s true that you are not suitable to give birth anymore because your uterus lining has become very
thin after giving birth last time. There won’t be any anomalies during the early stage of pregnancy, but
as the amniotic fluid increases month by month and the fetus develops faster, the pressure exerted on
your uterus will be greater, then you’ll be in danger. Now it is seven months, I suggest that you can
have earlier labor induction or Cesarean delivery when it reaches seven and a half months, or the most
is eight months.”
Dolores couldn’t accept it, “I, I’m not feeling unwell…”
The doctor said seriously, “When you start feeling unwell, you’ve already reached the limit. The medical
technologies nowadays are very advanced, you don’t have to worry that the child can’t survive after
being born. The child develops very well, there shall be no big problem, don’t worry too much.”
Dolores’s feeling became complicated in a sudden, for sure that a seven and a half months fetus hadn’t
become mature yet.
“Doctor, I want to tell my husband by myself.” Dolores didn’t know how Matthew would feel when he
heard of this news.
The doctor nodded, “Both of you should discuss first, but you must make a decision as soon as
possible since it’s already seven months now.”
Dolores nodded, “We’ll discuss this properly…”
“What do we want to discuss properly?” Matthew heard of Dolores saying this when he came inside, so
he continued her words and asked.
Dolores smiled immediately, “Nothing.” She held her womb and wanted to stand up, Matthew walked
there and helped her, he asked, “Have you done the checking?”
Dolores nodded, “The doctor said that everything is fine.”
Matthew looked toward the doctor, it seemed like he was asking.
The doctor glanced at Dolores and pushed the spectacles on the nose, then said, “The child is very
healthy.”
The doctor seemed to be doing this purposely, Matthew narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t ask in front of
Dolores.
He put his arms around Dolores’s waist and said, “Let’s go.”
He took the blue envelope with the examination reports inside and held Dolores to walk out of the
examination room.
Walking out of the hospital and getting into the car, Matthew helped Dolores to fasten the seatbelt, then
he said, “I go to the washroom for a while, wait for me in the car.”
Dolores leaned on the seat back and nodded lightly.
Matthew didn’t go to the washroom, but he went back to the hospital and found the doctor who had
helped Dolores for the check-up at the outpatient department.
Although Dolores was pretending to be good, he could feel that Dolores was not as relaxed as when
she came.
The doctor was not answering calmly as well, there were doubts in his mind, he couldn’t stop worrying
if he didn’t clear his doubts.
The doctor was shocked to see that Matthew was back again.
“How’s my wife examination results?” Matthew asked directly.
“The child is fine, the scorings from all aspects were very high, but your wife’s body…”
“How’s her body?”
Matthew asked anxiously, the doctor was interrupted by him when the doctor had not finished talking.
The doctor opened the record of Dolores’s ultrasound imaging, the cursor was moved to show the
thickness of the uterus, “Your wife’s uterus was injured when she gave birth last time, the condition now
is still thinner than a normal pregnant woman. As the amniotic fluid increases month by month and the
fetus develops faster, the pressure exerted on the uterus will be greater. I had told your wife that I
suggest her to give birth earlier, it will be best before seven and a half months, this will reduce her risks.
If the uterus breaks, not to mention about the child, even she will be in danger too.”
Matthew frowned, it was obvious that he couldn’t accept this kind of thing happening in a moment, “The
previous checking results are all quite well.”
“The symptoms were not obvious previously because the months of pregnancy were still short.” The
doctor paused for a while, “I had told your wife about this situation, she had said that she will discuss
with you when going back.”
Matthew lowered his voice and asked, “Is there any other solution?”
The doctor shook his head, “The child will get bigger in the mother’s womb and grow even faster during
the later months, this means that the pressure exerted on the uterus is becoming greater…”
“If she were to give birth earlier, will this affect the child?” Matthew had understood it, but it would
definitely affect the child if she were to deliver the child when the pregnancy hadn’t reached full term.
“It will definitely affect the child since it doesn’t reach full term, but the medical conditions now are nice
and the fetal condition is also very good, the survival rate is above eighty per cent,” the doctor said.
“Eighty per cent?” It was obvious that Matthew was not satisfied with this answer.
However, Dolores’s health was more important, he then turned and left the hospital.
He decided to find other experts in this aspect to check again with this matter, then only he would make
the decision.
He pretended as if he didn’t know anything when he got back to the car, he asked Dolores if she had
waited for him for too long, Dolores said, “No.”
“Let’s go back home.”
Matthew started the car.
Dolores couldn’t stay calm in her mind after listening to the doctor’s words, she didn’t want to talk, so
she closed her eyes pretending that she was sleeping.
Matthew turned his head and looked at her, he pursed his lips tightly, he could deeply understand
Dolores’s current feeling.
He was the father, he was also the husband, he couldn’t injure his child. It was the same that he
couldn’t make any decision that would harm Dolores.
At this moment, his feeling was so complicated and down.
He moved one of his hands to grab her hand, Dolores opened her eyes, Matthew said, “Sleep for a
while if you’re tired, I’ll wake you up when we arrive home.”
Dolores nodded, then she closed her eyes again.
After a while, the car had arrived at the bungalow. When Matthew was going to drive the car to the
yard, he saw some people standing at the door.
