âTina will be the one to blame you, scold you, and beat you. You sold her off to save your wife!â Lina pretended to smile casually and said, âAlright, Hadwin. Iâm not blaming you or am I mad at you. I wonât leave you! I know you did all that for me!â
He looked blankly at her. He had been terrified of her reaction ever since he made the deal with the little boy from the Hunter family.
However, she was soâ¦
âBut⦠Tina might not be happy about it. I wonder if sheâll think you sold her off? But in case she blames you, scolds you, or beats you, Iâll face it with you! You wonât be the only one sheâll blame!â said Lina.
Hadwin Stephenson only found his nose feeling sore. This woman had a way of inadvertently making him feel touched.
âOkay, thatâs settled, then,â he whispered.
She smiled, held his face, and kissed his lips. âHadwin, no matter what weâll face, weâll face it together.
Weâll be together through thick and thin.â
Hadwin Stephenson gently wrapped his hands around her waist as he accepted her kiss.
If she had not just woken up and he was afraid that she would not be able to withstand a more intense kiss, he might have kissed her back aggressively.
He loved her so much that if the boy from the Hunter family had asked for Tinaâs life, he would have probably said yes.
It was because Lina was the only one who was irreplaceable to him.
They finally got the results from Municipal Womenâs Hospital. Dr. He said to Kyla, âWe contacted specialists of liver disease from other hospitals to oversee your diagnosis. With your current condition, itâs likely you wonât suffer any big issues during the first few trimesters. The major issue comes after youâre seven months into the pregnancy. In its current state, your liver wonât be able to handle the demands of pregnancy.â
Kylaâs heart sank when she heard that. Though she had mentally prepared herself that the results might be bad, her heart still sank when she heard the doctor say so.
âWhen Iâm seven months pregnant? What if I⦠make it to 35 weeks? The babyâs body should be fully developed around 35 weeks. I can give birth safely, canât I? Arenât a lot of twins delivered through C-
sections around 35 weeks?â said Kyla.
â35 weeks? Thatâs more than eight months into the pregnancy. The stakes are still high for you.â
3/3 âIf itâll only put more strain on my liver when Iâm seven months into the pregnancy, I just have to endure for a little more than a month. There should also be some medications that I can take in the third trimester, right?â she said.
Dr. He said, âThere are such medications, but your liver might get damaged when you give birth.
Besides, not all medications work. For example, you have occasional pain in your liver and you can take painkillers for it if youâre not pregnant. Now that youâre pregnant, though, the only way to stop the pain is with medications available to pregnant women. But these painkillers donât help at all when your pain gets worse in the third trimester. Youâll suffer when it hurts and you might lose the baby in your belly.â
âOkay, I got it. But I want to try my best anyway. Iâll accept it if I really canât keep the baby, but Iâm afraid Iâll regret making this decision if I donât try,â said Kyla.
Dr. He said no more when she heard this. âNo matter what happens, both of you should talk it through.
If you donât want to terminate the pregnancy, the hospital will also try our best to help you keep the baby.â
