"Let's not worry about that now. Once Karen's okay, you can do whatever you want with Paige." But Paige couldn't escape even if she tried! Jeffrey looked up, his expression even more panicked than Dorothy's, "Everett, you've got to make sure Karen and the baby are alright!" Everett just sighed. He wasn't a miracle worker, after all.
Soon, the clinic door swung open.
A doctor stepped out, "Family of Karen, one of you cane in." "That's me!" Jeffrey quickly raised his hand and followed the doctor inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSince only one person was allowed in, Dorothy had to wait outside for the news.
Everett held her hand the entire time, worried she might break down.
Dorothy was a worrier by nature; if anything happened to Karen, she'd blherself endlessly.
Everett knew her all too well.
"Everett..." "Don't worry, it'll be okay." Inside the clinic, Jeffrey couldn't even sit down; he just stood there.
"Doctor, how's my wife?" The doctor glanced at him before handing over a medical report from the table, "It's a bit of a unique case. Your wife hasn't miscarried, but she did have sbleeding. The ultrasound we just did shows a blood clot in the womb, as you can see in the report here." Jeffrey quickly looked at the report, but it was all Greek to him.
"It appears the clot is a result of skind of impact. Can you tellwhat happened?" The doctor's tone suggested he was probing for signs of domestic violence.
"She was shopping and got bumped into by a kid!" "Oh." The doctor's suspicious look faded upon hearing this, "We've examined her, and this is the situation The clot might get absorbed as the pregnancy progresses, but being a el body, it could also lead to miscarriage." Jeffrey was silent, processing the information.

It might be safer to terminate early rather than face potentialplications later on." The doctor adjusted his glasses before continuing, "If you decide to keep it she'll need frequent l.n check-ups and bed rest. But there's no guarantee the clot won't affect the baby." "And my wife's health?" "There don't seem to be any other issues right now, just the clot." Relieved Karen was otherwise okay, Jeffrey finally breathed a little easier.
"Alright, we'll talk it over." He hurried to the room where Karen lay on the bed, sobbing intermittently.
Upon seeing him, she burst into tears, "Jeffrey! Our baby, is everything alright?" "It's okay, the doctor said there's no miscarriage!" Jeffrey quickly wiped away her tears, not mentioning the clot just yet, wanting her to calm down first.
Karen was nearly hyperventilating from crying, "Jeffrey, your ex-girlfriend... she's so vile! You have to... you have to get back at her for me!" "Yeah, don't worry, I won't let her get away with this." At the mention of his ex, something clicked in Karen's head, and she pushed him away, tears still in her eyes.
"It's all your fault! All these ex-girlfriends, each one out to get me!" "I know, it's all on me!" Jeffrey admitted, knowing that if Karen were to slap him right then, he'd have no choice but to take it.
