âLinaâs my best friend. Iâll help her no matter what trouble. sheâs in,â said Grace.
Just then, the blood test report came out and the team of specialists Jason arranged arrived as well.
They urgently examined Lina.
When Lina woke up, she learned that something was wrong with the progesterone shot she took at the community health.
center.
There was something else in her blood that caused her heart to beat faster, thus affecting the babyâs heartbeat as well. This unknown substance would often kill the unborn child.
âHow⦠How could something be wrong with the progesterone shot?â Linaâs face was full of disbelief.
Then, her hands nervously covered her belly. âBaby⦠My babyâ¦â
âThe babyâs fine, but youâll need to stay for further observation. After all, it was injected through an IV, so the effects are more direct,â said Grace, trying to alleviate the problem.
âHow did this happen? How could there be something wrong with the progesterone shot?â Lina burst into tears. What she was worried about was not her health but the baby and whether the baby would be okay.
It was at this moment she realized how important the baby in her belly was to her.
Grace assured her friend, saying, âIâll find out what on earth is going on here. All you have to do now is have a good rest and not cry. Crying too much will affect your health. Your baby can only survive this if youâre well-rested.â
Lina quickly wiped her tears. âOkay, I wonât cry. I⦠Iâll rest well. I wonât let this baby leave me.â
Grace waited until her best friend fell asleep before leaving the hospital. Jasonâs car was already waiting at the hospital entrance.
Jason got out of the car and walked up to Grace. âAre you going home now?â
âYeah.â Fatigue flashed through Graceâs gaze. âWhy are you here? Didnât I tell you I could go home by myself?â
He said, âI wanted to pick you up. Are you tired?â
âA little,â she said.
The two of them got in the car, and Jason asked, âHowâs Lina doing?â
âSheâs alright. She just needs some rest and to get the drug. out of her system. But we donât know its effects on the baby yet. That needs further observation,â said Grace.
âKatherine Jackson did it,â Jason said out of the blue.
âWhat?â Graceâs eyes widened in surprise. âKatherine Jackson? You found out?â
âYeah, it wasnât that hard. But Katherine Jackson has gone into hiding and we canât find her,â said Jason.
A harsh countenance flashed across Graceâs eyes. âHow dare Katherine Jackson lay a hand on Lina?
Iâll make sure she pays for this!â
âCan you find her?â she asked.
âAs long as she hasnât left Emerald City, weâll be able to find. her. But itâll take some time,â Jason said as he looked at the rare angry expression on Graceâs face. âDoes Linaâs incident make you this angry?â
âOf course. How dare Katherine Jackson use such despicable means on Lina? She obviously wants to kill the baby in Linaâs belly with the shot! Doesnât she know how important a child is www to a mother?â snapped Grace.
Jason looked down slightly and smirked. âBut for some mothers, children are nothing more than a tool they can discard at any time.â
Grace froze, instantly realizing what she just said had reminded him of his mother again.
