Chapter 521

“Then terminate it,” Agatha said coldly, her attitude meticulous and cruel. “A child who isn’t fit to be kept in every way.. Even if you manage to preserve it, it can lead to problems. However, before the prenatal checkup, your worries are just that- worries.”

“Grandma Foster, I’m also worried that Bradley will find out about my pregnancy,” Esther confessed.

Esther wondered whether they could still successfully divorce if Bradley discovered her pregnancy.

“Esther, before you worry about a successful divorce, consider whether your body can safely support your labor,” Agatha advised. She knew people would go to great lengths to save their child, but a mother’s safety should always take precedence over the fetus.

While movies and TV often depicted dilemmas between a mother’s life and a child’s, in real life, this rarely occurred because doctors prioritized the mother’s safety.

The doctors in the operating room would do everything to save the mother. Only when the mother survived would the child receive proper care.

“Grandma Foster, I’ll follow your advice,” Esther said.

Agatha glanced at Esther and asked, “Did you have breakfast this morning?”

“No,” Esther replied.

Agatha made a call, and a nurse arrived to draw blood for Esther in less than ten minutes.

“I’ll conduct all necessary tests for you,” Agatha told Esther while her blood was drawn. “Some require fasting. You can do those first. After breakfast and my rounds, I’ll take you for the rest of the tests.”

“Alright.”

Agatha patted Felix’s head, her voice gentle. “Felix, be a brave little gentleman and take good care of Mommy, okay?”

“Mm.” Felix nodded seriously and promised, “I’m super brave.”

Sitting next to Esther, Felix watched attentively as she ate her breakfast. Curiously, he tilted his head and asked, “Mommy, when can I see Sunshine?”

“You miss Sunshine?” Esther asked with a heavy heart.

Felix nodded. “Yes!”

Sunshine was fun. If he and Sunshine could keep his mother company together, she would surely be happy daily. She wouldn’t have to move houses to hide from Bradley anymore.

“When Aunt Xara has time, she will take Jacob and Sunshine to play with us.”

Looking at the bandage on Felix’s head, Esther encouraged softly while gently pinching his round checks, “So, before that, our Felix needs to eat well and recover well, okay?”

“I know.”

Felix was super well-behaved and cute. While Esther ate, he stayed with her, handing her milk and tissues. After Esther finished her breakfast, he even helped clean up the table.

Once breakfast was over, they sat quietly together and read. The morning sun bathed them in its warm light, creating a beautiful scene.

When a nurse wheeled in a small cart, she instinctively slowed her steps.

“Good morning, Miss.”

The nurse was delighted. “Good morning, handsome boy.”

“Miss, you look very pretty!”

Just one sentence from Felix made the nurse blush.

Holding Felix’s hand, Esther settled back onto the hospital bed.
