The next early morning, Theresa went to the hospital. She also bought a fruit basket, since she was
going to visit an elder in the hospital. She couldn’t go there without a gift.
She must be polite.
Elizabeth didn’t sleep for a whole night. How could she understand and accept it since she had the
ingrained thoughts?
She agreed because Theresa was injured because of them, so she had to say yes. Besides, she
believed that the doctor could cure the inability to bear a baby.
She had completely ignored that Theresa’s face was flawless, which could only be achieved by
advanced medicals kills. She still thought that Theresa hadn’t met a good doctor.
She asked Theresa to come to see her in the hospital because she wanted to give her a checkup.
She wanted Theresa to get medical treatment.
Now the medical skills were so advanced, Elizabeth believed that Theresa would eventually get
pregnant.
If not, she could accept the tube baby, as long as it was Armand’s baby.
Theresa knocked on the door. Armand went to open it. Seeing her, he immediately took over the gift
from her hands. He asked in a gentle tone, “Had breakfast?”
Theresa answered, “Yeah. I came here after breakfast.”
Armand let her in, “Come on in.”
“Come and sit here, Theresa.” Elizabeth waved at her.
Theresa walked over. Elizabeth could agree, which made her surprised. She was quite grateful to
Elizabeth as well, as she knew how much Elizabeth wanted a great-grandson.
“Good morning, Grandma.”
“Morning.” Elizabeth pulled her hand and said, “You’ve lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a
lot.”
Theresa looked down and said, “It’s all bygones.”
Elizabeth patted her on the hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be there with you in the future.”
Then they heard a few knocks on the door.
Armand went to open the door. Usually, doctors would come here for the ward rounds at this time in the
morning.
However, it wasn’t the doctor who usually checked Elizabeth up.
Armand asked, “Excuse me...”
“I’m Dr. Hawkins...”
“Hi, Dr. Hawkins. Please come in,” said Elizabeth towards the door.
Armand looked back at his grandmother, “What’s going on?”
He didn’t change the doctor. The doctor who always saw Elizabeth was an expert with high capability.
It was not necessary to change to another doctor.
“This is Dr. Hawkins, specializing in infertility. I asked him to check up on Theresa. We are not a poor
family. I’m sure Theresa could be cured.” Elizabeth believed that she was doing it for the good of
Armand and Theresa.
In an instant, Theresa felt as if she was poured by a basin of cold water. She felt chilly from the tip to
toe.
Reaching out her hand, she felt that her throat was so dried out that she couldn’t utter a word.
Armand also looked quite annoyed instantly. He said to Dr. Hawkins in a cold tone, “No, the checkup is
unnecessary. Please leave.”
“Why not? Theresa can’t give birth, can she? Dr. Hawkins used to study abroad and he’s an expert.
Probably he could cure Theresa,” said Elizabeth hurriedly, “I’m doing it for your own good. You don’t
want to have no child all your life, do you?”
“I’ve told you I don’t want any child...”
“Don’t panic. If you truly have the problem of infertility, I can help you. Besides, the test tube technology
is so advanced now...”
Theresa stood up and looked at the young doctor expressionlessly, “Can you do the test tube baby
without a uterus?”
“Well... I can’t do it.” The test tube would only be used to cultivate the germ. The baby needed to grow
up in the uterus. Without the uterus, the baby couldn’t be born at all.
Unless they would use surrogacy and let the baby grow in another woman’s uterus.
“Hence, you can’t cure me.” Theresa kept shaking while standing. Whenever it was mentioned, she felt
unbearable pain in her heart as if it was stabbed by a dagger.
She tried hard to keep calm and looked back at Elizabeth, “I’m sorry, Grandma, but I must go now. I
need to deal with something urgent.”
After finishing her words, she strode towards the door. Armand immediately followed her and pulled her
hand, “Wait, Theresa...”
Theresa suddenly shook off his hand. Then she felt that she was too excited. She shouldn’t have
vented her anger on others. However, she felt quite upset. Her defect was exposed in front of others
directly, making her felt that she was just a clown as she had a defect and wasn’t a complete woman.
She adjusted her mood as fast as she could, “Armand, I got a call from Uncle. He said there’s
something urgent with him now. I must go back. Please take good care of Grandma.”
Then she strode out of the ward.
Armand was worried about her, following her, “Theresa, please listen to me. I didn’t know Grandma
would call the doctor. Please don’t mind...”
“No, I don’t mind at all. I have a defect in my body. Why should I be angry?”
She gazed at Armand sharply, “Just exposing my defect to others made me upset. Can you understand
how I fee?”
Armand said, “I know. I didn’t tell Grandma that you are Theresa because I was afraid that she kept
mentioning having a baby to you, and then you would feel stressed. I’m sorry. I didn’t do a good job.”
Theresa sniffed, “Please go back. I truly must go now.”
Holding back her tears, she added, “If it’s not resolved or you can’t resolve it, please call me on the
phone. I want to be by myself. Please don’t go to find me for the time being.”
“I’m sorry...”
Armand felt so upset when seeing how frustrated she was.
Theresa pressed her lips, determinedly turned around, and walked out of the hospital.
Armand rubbed his cheeks with strength, feeling as if he had fallen from heaven to hell.
Last night, he had imagined a lot of happy scenes in the future.
He kept thinking about how to give Theresa a romantic marriage proposal.
However, today...
He turned around and walked back to the ward, overhearing Elizabeth talking to that doctor.
Elizabeth was shocked at Theresa’s reaction. She understood what was wrong, but seemingly that she
didn’t understand it at all. Probably she was unwilling to believe what Theresa had said. She still had
hope in her heart and wanted to get a satisfying answer from the doctor. She hoped that she had
misheard just now, “What... What does it mean by having no uterus?”
