After confirming Felix’s wrist information and checking the IV bottle, the nurse began the IV infusion.
When it was done, she changed Felix’s head bandage.
Esther and Felix sat together, engrossed in their reading. Esther read a medical book while Felix
tackled an introductory calculus book. They stuck to a timer-reading for an hour and then resting for 20
minutes.
Esther’s blood test results were also ready when Felix’s infusion finished.
Agatha entered with a solemn expression, handing Esther a test report.
Esther asked, “Grandma Foster, what does this mean?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Show me Jasper’s report.”
Agatha headed to the balcony after speaking. Esther retrieved Jasper’s test results and handed them
to Agatha, who then compared the HCG values.
“Esther, this test result isn’t positive. Your HCG levels have doubled. The data is concerning, and
you’re still anemic. Brace yourself mentally.”
Agatha’s words struck Esther deeply.
“Grandma Foster, I… I…”
Though the child’s arrival wasn’t in Esther’s plans, she was resolved to keep it. But she never imagined
that the child might not develop normally.
“First, let’s do an ultrasound.”
“Sure, when should I schedule it? Now?”
Tears welled in Esther’s reddened eyes.
Agatha comforted her with a gentle pat on the shoulder. “Esther, pregnancy is nature’s process of
selection. If you’re committed to doing everything to carry this child, I’ll do my best to support you. Don’t
overthink it for now. Let’s go. I’ll take you for an ultrasound.”
“Alright.”
Worried that Felix might sense her turmoil, Esther tilted her head slightly upward, holding back her
tears. She took a deep breath, composed herself, and left Felix in the care of the bodyguards. She then
accompanied Agatha to the hospital’s ultrasound room.
Since Esther’s pregnancy was in the early stages, she needed to drink water before the ultrasound.

As soon as Agatha entered the ultrasound room, the doctor respectfully stood up and greeted her.
“I’ll handle it.”
Esther lay on the bed beside the ultrasound machine, closing her eyes. She fervently wished for her
baby’s healthy arrival.
“Dr. Foster, here you go.”
The cold instrument touching her abdorninal skin made Esther shiver involuntarily.
Agatha focused on performing the ultrasound and only spoke after five minutes. “We’re done.”
Esther’s voice quivered with anticipation. “Grandma Foster… how is it?”
Agatha’s tone slowed, her face still somber. “It’s more serious than I anticipated.”
Esther’s legs wobbled, her face drained of color. Agatha reached out to steady her.
“Esther, given your current condition, even if we try to support the pregnancy, there’s only a 50%
chance of success. Take
time to seriously consider whether you want to proceed.”
