Chapter 959
Olivia looked at the starry night sky and thought about the dream she just had. The baby's cries from the dream
were still ringing in her ears.
Was it because the baby had sensed what she wanted to do?
"I don't know."
"Olivia, you can't keep this baby." Colin heard them talking and came out to sit down beside Olivia.
"You underwent chemotherapy before, and the side effects will persist for some time. There are no guarantees that
the baby won't be affected by these side effects.
"Besides, you'll be taking my drugs for the coming months. Even if the baby survives, the chances of it ending up
deformed are very high."
Olivia did some calculations. She stayed in the city for seven months after the final chemotherapy session before
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtleaving. Then, she spent two months at sea.
She rested on the island for over a month after the pirates attacked. The baby was conceived around two more
weeks after that.
It had been almost a year since she underwent chemotherapy. Maybe the baby was safe. But Colin was right. Even
if the chemotherapy didn't affect the baby, the drugs she would be taking would increase the risk of deformation.
"There's another way. I can hold off on the drugs and give birth to the baby first..."
Colin looked at her in disbelief.
"Are you out of your mind, Olivia? You want to risk your life for this baby? Have you ever thought about the
possibility of a relapse? Both you and the baby will die."
"But Colin ... I've survived many near-death situations. That's why I cherish life. This baby already has a heartbeat
and fetal pole. It doesn't matter how it was conceived. I can't just take its life away."
Colin sighed in resignation. "Olivia, what do you want me to say? You don't even love the baby's father. Even if you
give birth to the baby, can you be sure you'll be able to give it love?"
"I will. It's my baby. I'll treat it equally."
"Jack, I can't talk her out of it. You should try to talk some sense into her. She really can't afford to keep this baby."
Jack looked at Olivia. Before he could speak, Olivia said," Let's make a decision after the magnetic resonance
imaging results are out.
"If my cancer is in better condition and isn't at risk of relapse, I'll take the drugs after I give birth to the baby."
"Alright, but you have to promise if the results aren't good, you have to abort the baby. Don't drag things out. If you
drag the pregnancy out, the cancer won't be the only thing
sucking life out of you.
"The baby will be sapping nutrients from you too. Your body won't be able to handle all of that."
"Okay. I promise. Let's make a decision in three days."
Olivia went back to her room and saw Everly sprawled on her bed. She was scratching her waist with her fingers
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhile murmuring, "Get on your knees, Henry. Bow down to me."
Olivia shook her head in resignation. She covered Everly with a blanket and went back to her own bed.
It had been days since Olivia had a good night's sleep. She would panic about her pregnancy every time she closed
her eyes.
This was the first pregnancy in which she didn't feel a shred of happiness over. Her mind was filled with Logan's
extremely plain face.
Even though Logan was a reliable friend, Olivia couldn't help but feel upset when she thought about having to give
birth to his baby.
But the baby was innocent. Since it was already in her womb, she couldn't really change anything. She could only
leave it to fate.
It was like the baby knew Olivia wasn't looking forward to its arrival. Olivia's morning sickness miraculously stopped.
Back when she was carrying the twins, she had morning sickness for months.
They went quite some distance and arrived at a prosperous city. Colin had some acquaintances here and was able
to arrange for Olivia to get her medical examinations.
When she was lying in bed for the magnetic resonance imaging, Olivia felt uneasy. What would the results be?
