Chapter 208 How to Choose?
“Will you force me to abort the child? Will you give him the chance to survive?” She asked the question she had been worried about the most.
“Should I let him live?” Terence was so angry that he almost laughed. “Esther, you got into trouble, but now you ask me what to do? What do you want me to do?”
“I… I do not know.”
“Can you deal with the trouble with just a sentence?” Terence tightened his grip on her chin. “Why didn’t you think that I would want this child when you did it? Why aren’t you worried that I would force you to abort him at that time?”
“I don’t know. I really don’t know…” Esther was so anxious that she began to shed tears.
How could she dare to decide the future of this child? How could she dare to persuade him to let her give birth to the child? What if the child was sick? They might hurt the child.
“Terence, I will listen to you. If you don’t want a kid, I will have an abortion.” When Esther said this, her tears flowed even more urgently. She felt so wistful and helpless,
“What happened? Why are you crying?” At the door, the doctor heard Esther crying and saying that she wanted to abort the child. He criticized Terence for dissatisfaction. “Why don’t you want a child? After all, it is living life. Don’t you feel bad if you lose it? Besides, since you are married, you have to give birth early. I really don’t understand you, youngsters.”
Terence was not angry. He just released Esther and took a step to the side.
Esther continued to look at him as if she had not heard the doctor.
The doctor pushed Terence to the side and patted Esther on the shoulder. “Miss Esther, you are now injured and pregnant. You should lie down and rest, not cry in front of a man. You have the right to make decisions. Why are you listening to a man?”
Esther suddenly grabbed the doctor’s arm. She stared at him and said anxiously, “Doctor, you said that the child in my belly is fine. Is it true?”
“Well…” Her excited attitude shocked the doctor. He replied, “The child is fine. Fortunately, you didn’t hit your belly just now.”
“I mean… Will the child be incomplete?” Esther’s voice trailed off. She knew that the embryo was too small. No one could tell her if the child was good or not.
Even if the embryo was large enough, it was difficult to determine whether the child was healthy!
As expected, the doctor shook his head. “That’s hard to say. After all, the embryo is too small.” After that, the doctor’s expression became more serious. He looked at her and asked, “What do you mean? Don’t tell me that you took medicine or drank in the early stage of pregnancy. If that’s the case, you have to be careful.”
“I…” Esther was speechless. She had never taken medicine that affected the fetus or drank wine. What was she going to say? She was worried about Terence’s genes.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
She thought, ‘Forget it. The doctor could not help me with this.’
Seeing her silence, the doctor thought that he was right. He said, “You young people don’t know how to take care of yourself at all. You know that you might be pregnant, but you still do bad things. This will affect the child’s life.”
Then, he comforted her, “But you don’t have to be too anxious. You have to check it out later. If you find any problems, you can abort the baby. Have a good rest. Be careful. Your mood will influence the child’s health.”
The doctor ignored Terence’s complexion.
Terence had the urge to sew up the doctor’s mouth. Esther was so scared. The man still threatened her like this. It drove people crazy.
In the end, Terence politely said to the doctor, “Thank you. We will take note of it.”
“OK, take good care of Miss Esther. I will go out first.” After the doctor finished speaking, he finally left their sight.
As soon as the doctor left, Esther grabbed Terence’s arm again. She said excitedly, “Terence, I…”
“Let’s stop it.” Terence interrupted her. “Listen to the doctor. Emotions have a great impact on the baby. If there’s nothing wrong with my genes, your emotions will hurt our baby first.”
They had been together for so long. Esther cried so sadly for the first time. In the past, no matter how she quarreled with him, it was just squeezing a few tears.
It seemed that he had indeed frightened her.
Esther sniffed and tried her best to calm down before saying, “Terence, can you tell me directly if you want this child?”
“What do you think?” Terence asked, “It’s like gambling. The bet is life. Right now, it is a small embryo. When we find out the problem, it has turned into a human. We will become murderers. Do you dare to bet?”
Listening to his words, Esther asked with tears, “Terence, aren’t you talking in anger?”
“I’m serious.” Terence smiled ironically, “It’s my fault for being soft-hearted at that time and throwing away the medicine. I thought you wouldn’t get pregnant at that time.”
At that time, he thought that even if her ability to conceive was so strong, his sperm might not be so powerful. She would be pregnant in a moment.
He was wrong.
Esther could see that although he was not as furious as usual, he was still very aggrieved and uncomfortable.
There was no point in apologizing. They needed to solve the problem.
