Chapter 1260
“It’s just a fake home. The marriage between you and me had always been fake. At first, you get married just so the child does not become illegitimate. But then, I wanted to taste how mundane it would be to be married to you, so I didn’t break off the marriage.”
She sighed bitterly. “Yes, I’m a very boring wife.” In fact, she also hoped that her marriage with him would be happier. But, perhaps a marriage that was consummated for a transaction since the beginning would not reap any happiness.
“But this is just a complete family portrait. It will be my last plea to you, and I won’t ask you anything else, so please agree,” she begged.
His eyes flashed. “You won’t be begging me for anything else? Amelia, don’t you think that the most important thing you should beg me now is to save you? If something really was wrong with your liver, I am the only person who can donate a liver to you.”
A low mocking voice resounded in the room.
“In that case, you will also be in danger. The last liver transplant had only been six years. If you donate again, it would be too risky for you,” she said.
“What? You actually care if it was risky for me? You would not be
bothered if someone like me lived or died, right?” His body suddenly leaned over, and his face came close to hers. Those sharp eyes seemed to see through her.
Looking at his face that was so close to hers, Amelia suddenly lifted her arms and gently wrapped them around his neck. She leaned her face against his shoulders.
He was shocked by her sudden movement.
He wanted to push her away, but his body seemed to have an instinct to resist the thought. Instead, he came closer to her, as if the instinct of his body was hoping that she could hold him tighter.
“Warren, don’t donate your liver to me. Don’t bet on your own life. Giving birth is my gamble, not yours. So, I won’t ask you to donate your liver. I just hope that in the future, if you are free, you can come and see the children more often to build a tighter bond with them.” She only hoped that he could live well, and this to her, was already a form of happiness.
His body continued to stiffen. What she said actually sent him a sense of fear, as if she was giving some final words.
There was no way she should know her liver condition now. He had agreed with Jonathan and Rosalie that they would not let the doctor reveal her actual health condition.
“If you say that, using the children, in the hope of fishing for my sympathy so I would donate my liver to you, then you had better give up. I would not sacrifice myself for a woman who does not love me.”
She smiled and ended the hug. “I know you won’t. Warren, I have no regrets toward you. I want to sleep now, so can you please leave?”
If he did not leave now, she might actually cry in his presence.
She had so many regrets and hopes for him. If she did not have so many illnesses, then she could be able to tell him clearly in the beginning that she loved him and was willing to be with him again.
No matter how much pain they had suffered in the past, she wanted to try it again and really get together.
Unfortunately, she could never say these words to him anymore.
She would have to take this regret to her grave.
Warren left with a sad face without saying a word.
As soon as the door of the ward closed, streams of tears fell from Amelia’s eyes.
It turned out that some love could be so painful and difficult.
The next day, Jonathan took Rosalie to the best obstetrics and gynecology hospital in the city for examination. Amelia was now recuperating for her pregnancy at the same hospital.
“I think, recently, fate brought me and this hospital together.” Rosalie could not help sighing and said, “Let’s go and see Amelia after I finish my examination.”
“Okay,” Jonathan answered.
Rosalie received a series of tests in the hospital, and when she did the B-scan examination, she was told that the fetus had a heart rate.
Rosalie’s eyes suddenly turned red. That meant that the baby in her stomach was alive.
After coming out from the B-scan, Rosalie stroked her belly with one hand, and her eyes were red.
Jonathan hurried forward and said, “What’s wrong? Were you crying?”
Rosalie sniffed. “The baby has a heartbeat now, and it’s a single fetus. The doctor said that the scans of the baby turned out really well.”
“Did the doctor say if your current body state is suitable to give birth to a child?” he asked anxiously.
“This B-scan is only to check the condition of the baby. As for whether the state of my body can handle giving birth to a child, I will have to do other assessments,” Rosalie said.
She knew that under normal circumstances, he would not ask such a stupid question. He was now worried and confused.
They came to the outpatient consulting room again, so Rosalie could get a consultation. This was an obstetrician and gynecologist in the hospital that was very reputable in Strico.
“Judging from the current situation alone, everything is fine. However, Mrs. Youngblood’s womb once went through trauma and was injured when she was pregnant with triplets. We cannot tell at the moment whether the fetus will be able to receive enough nutrients. Another thing is that as the fetus gradually grows, we will need to see if the placenta of the fetus would attach to the old C-section wound. If so, it would be dangerous, and we would recommend terminating the pregnancy.”
The doctor gave two examples of risks and said, “As for the others, we need to look at Mrs. Youngblood’s other examination reports before making a final decision. Those reports would be out after a week.”
They left the outpatient consulting room. Jonathan was worried, but Rosalie in turn said, “What’s wrong? The doctor said it depends on other conditions. Besides, the child’s placenta has not developed yet. What if it attaches to a good spot? Then, it would not be dangerous at all.”
“What if…”
She pressed her finger against his lips and said, “Jon, I promise that this time, I won’t risk my life. That’s because I know that I am not only risking my own, but also yours.”
“Would you be willing to give up this child?” he murmured.
She was reluctant. “I am unwilling. So, I will do everything possible to save this little life. But, if it was the last resort, I will…”
It turned out that some things were hard to say out loud, and it would hurt so much just thinking about it.
