There were a lot of people in the hospital. It had been a long time since the last time when Nicole
waited in line for registration. But she felt good. At least no one recognized her.
To keep her identity a secret, Nicole did not use her real name but used her false name, Marina.
By the time her name was called, it was almost noon.
Nicole walked in uneasily.
"What's the problem?"
The doctor was in her forties or fifties. She was said to be an expert in gynecology.
Nicole took a deep breath and replied, "Recently, I've been having mood swings, and I always feel sad.
Even a trifle can upset me, and I make a fuss about it."
Hearing Nicole's words, the doctor seemed surprised for a moment, then looked at Nicole and said,
"You shouldn't have come to the gynecology department. Turn left and go to the neurology department
on the second floor."
Hearing the doctor's words, Nicole was immediately depressed, but she did not stand up. She
pondered for a moment and said, "My period is ten days late."
"Are you married?"
Nicole's skin was fair and smooth. The doctor couldn't tell exactly how old she was. But Nicole indeed
didn't look well.
"I'm married with two children."
Nicole did not conceal anything.
The doctor was surprised.
"You got married very early. I can't give a diagnosis now. It could be caused by endocrine disorders or
pregnancy. You do an ultrasound examination first. More will be known after the report comes out."
Obviously, the doctor was saying it would be known if she was pregnant or not after she did the
ultrasound examination.
Nicole nodded and walked out with the sheet doctor wrote.
After paying, she went to the ultrasound examination room. When she saw so many people waiting,
she was surprised.
She had always thought that it was simple to do an ultrasound examination. She never thought that
there would be so many people lining up. Only then did she remember that she had used the back door
in the past.
Right now, Nicole didn't want to urinate. She thought that she could drink some water to hold urine.
There was a kind of ultrasound examination where the patient didn't need to hold urine, but she didn't
like it.
Nicole took a disposable cup, got some water, and began drinking it.
Almost all the women around her were there for an ultrasound examination, and many of them were
accompanied by their families. Seeing this, Nicole felt lonely and sad.
As for what she was sad about, she wasn't too sure. She felt that her emotions had been out of control
lately.
Nicole drank water one cup after another. She soon felt full and uncomfortable. Just as she was about
to go to the bathroom, she heard the doctor call her name.
She quickly walked into the examination room and lay down according to the doctor's instructions. She
was nervous.
Seeing that her face was pale, the doctor hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous. I see that you still have a
cut in your belly. This isn't your first child, is it?"
"No."
Nicole replied.
"Since this is your second child, why are you so nervous?"
The doctor smiled faintly and put an examination device on her belly. It was cold, but it also relaxed
Nicole.
She remembered that when she was pregnant with Lucas and Zoe, she was abroad. At that time, she
did not go to have a physical examination regularly. After all, she did not want to cause trouble since
she was under someone else's roof.
Now that she thought of this, it felt like it was a lifetime ago.
The doctor didn't know what Nicole was thinking. She examined Nicole here and there. After a while,
she said, "It's done. Congratulations, you're pregnant."
Nicole was shocked.
"Doctor, what did you say?"
"I said you're pregnant. The child is five weeks old. It's healthy. But your uterus is a little thin. Have you
had an abortion before?"
The doctor looked at Nicole. Nicole was dumbfounded. She subconsciously nodded.
"Yes."
"Take good care of yourself. Since you had an abortion before, it's best to secure the fetus in the first
three months if you want this child."
Nicole nodded in a daze.
"Doctor, is it twins?"
Nicole almost subconsciously asked.
The doctor was surprised for a moment and said, "You are only 30 days pregnant. The embryonic
tissue hasn't fully differentiated, so it can't be told if it's twins. We can listen to the heartbeats of the
baby at about 60 days old. Why ask? Do twin genes run in the family?"
"Yes, both my husband and I are twins."
Nicole's words surprised the doctor.
"Then there is a high chance you are having twins. We will know after further examination."
The doctor gave the report to Nicole.
Nicole felt it was surreal.
Pregnant?
She was pregnant.
But didn't Samuel have a ligation?
Why was she still pregnant?
Nicole returned to the doctor's office in a haze and gave the report to her.
The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, you're going to be a mother again."
"Doctor, I have something to ask you."
Nicole found it hard to speak.
"What is it?"
The doctor was patient.
Nicole bit her lower lip and began, "My husband underwent ligation. How did I get pregnant?"
The doctor was obviously dumbfounded.
"When was the ligation?"
"Recently."
Nicole's face turned completely red.
She really didn't want to tell anyone about such a private matter, but she was pregnant now! And
Samuel had undergone such an operation. How was she going to explain her pregnancy?
The doctor paused for a moment and then said, "The seminal duct can be duct after the surgery. Did
your husband do it?"
"I doubt it."
Nicole was sure of it.
Samuel was worried about her health, so he would rather not have another child than let her suffer
again. That was why she was sure he would not get his seminal duct dredged again.
Hearing her firm answer, the doctor added, "There can be other reasons. Some people have more than
one vas deferens on one side, and there is a certain probability there are two of them. The surgeons
generally do not take this into account during surgery, so pregnancy is also possible after ligation."
Nicole was completely stunned.
This was inconceivable.
It felt like she had won the lottery.
Seeing Nicole's dazed look, the doctor didn't know whether she wanted the child or not, but the doctor
gave her some advice according to Nicole's physical state.
"You are not in good shape. You have suffered a fundamental injury. You haven't recovered yet. It's not
wise to be pregnant at this time. It might worsen your health. Think about it. The child is still young now.
Although it will do some damage to your body if you abort it, it should be less harmful than what you
have to suffer during the pregnancy."
Nicole understood what the doctor meant.
She had heard these words before the last child had been aborted, but it was from a different doctor.
Now that there was one or even two small lives growing in her body, Nicole did not want to lose them
again.
Samuel had already undergone the ligation and she was still pregnant. This was a gift from the
heavens, so she would not give up.
Nicole involuntarily touched her belly, her gaze indescribably gentle.
"Doctor, if I want to keep this child, what do I need to do?"
Her gaze was firm. Knowing that as a mother, she was trying to protect the baby, the doctor was
moved.
"It won't be easy. In the first three months, it would be best if you just stay in bed and rest. You can't be
tired or have too many emotional swings. Otherwise, you may not be able to keep the baby. Your
uterine wall is already very thin. Be careful of everything. Even a sneeze can cause a miscarriage. I'm
not exaggerating things at all, but if you wait for three months before you decide to have an abortion,
the damage to your body will be immense."
"I see. Thank you, doctor."
Nicole nodded and picked up the ultrasound examination report to leave. The doctor said, "If you really
intend to keep this child, then let your wounds heal naturally. Don't take any anti-inflammatory
medicine."
Only then did Nicole recall that she had taken anti-inflammatory medicine when she was injured, and
she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"If I did, would my baby be affected?"
"The fertilized egg hasn't been in bed for long. The influence will not be big. Be more careful from now
on."
"I see. Thank you, doctor."
Nicole was overjoyed.
She put her ultrasound examination report into her pocket and smiled.
She was pregnant!
She was going to be a mother again!
This was a gift from the heavens, wasn't it?
She didn't have a miscarriage even under the tense and dangerous circumstances in Country F. She
was thankful for the blessings of the heavens, but she was also terrified when she thought of her
willfulness.
Thinking of her emotions, Nicole turned around and walked back.
"Doctor, my emotions have been fluctuating quite a bit lately. It's not affecting the child, is it?"
"It's a natural reaction to your pregnancy, but try not to be overjoyed or sad. If you really can't control
your emotions, try listening to some light music or doing something that makes you happy to divert your
attention. It'll be good to the baby."
The doctor's words made Nicole very happy.
It turned out that she was not having her menopause, nor was it because of anything else, but because
she was pregnant.
Nicole couldn't wait to tell Samuel the good news, but she suddenly remembered the lesson from last
time after she took out her phone.
Samuel would never let her keep this child.
Wasn't that what happened to her last child?
Choosing between the child and her, Samuel would always focus on her wellbeing.
Thinking of this, Nicole tightened her grip on her phone and turned it off.
She couldn't let Samuel know!
But could she do the same thing as five years ago, to not let him experience the happiness when he
came a father again?
Was this fair to Samuel?
Nicole hesitated.
Her mind was in a mess, and she was conflicted. Torn between the joy of knowing that she was
pregnant and the hesitation to face Samuel, she was very irritated.
There was a dessert house not far away.
Nicole didn't like dessert very much, but now she had an impulse and desire to eat something inside.
She put behind all her troubles and walked into the dessert house.
"Welcome."
The voice of the girl in the dessert house was very sweet and comfortable to listen to.
Nicole found a seat, ordered a few desserts and sat to eat, completely put everything else behind.
The dessert was delicious.
There was only one thought in her mind, her eyebrows curved like a child's, but she did not know that
the entire Green family was in chaos.
When Samuel learned that Nicole had disappeared and her cell phone couldn't be reached, she almost
went out to look for her himself.
