âGrandma, I need to go to Emerald City for treatment. If you want to go with me, Iâll find a place for you to stay. If you donât want to go to a strange place, then Iâll come back to see you when Iâm better.â
Nancy said.
If⦠she really dies with her unborn child, then she will leave all her savings to Miss Fowler, at least to ensure her retirement.
âI⦠Iâm afraid I wonât adapt to the big city. I still want to stay in the village for now.â Miss Fowler said, âBut Iâm afraid I wonât be able to visit you often when youâre being treated in Emerald City.â
âThen Iâll buy you a smartphone and teach you how to make video calls. We can talk to each other through video calls frequently in the future.â Nancy said.
Miss Fowler didnât understand anything about smartphones, so Nancy explained to her in detail what video calls are.
After Miss Fowler left, the doctor conducted a fetal heart rate test and some basic examinations on Nancy.
âIs the baby okay?â Nancy asked.
âThe baby is fine, but your condition is not good.â The doctor said with a serious expression, âYour blood pressure is high now, and combined with your previous fall into the sea, your body is in a mess.
Giving birth is just a gamble for your life. But in this world, not all gambles can be won. Many people lose their lives in gambling, you just havenât seen it yet.â
âI know.â Nancy said, âDoctor, Iâm mentally prepared!â
The doctor sighed. As a doctor, he couldnât make decisions for his patients. He could only do his best to ensure their safety.
After the doctor left, Jason and Grace walked into the ward.
Jason said to Nancy, âIf your condition remains stable in a couple of days, we will take you back to Emerald City. Once youâre there, you can consider whether or not to have an abortion. However, the longer you wait, the more damage it will cause to your body.â
âI wonât consider having an abortion, so you donât need to say anything more. This child is mine alone!â
Nancy said warily.
At this moment, she was like a hedgehog, raising all her spines to protect the child in her belly.
âRegardless of whether this child is born or not, it is not just your child, but also the Read familyâs child!â
Jason said.
However, his words made Nancy even more guarded!
Grace saw this and said to Jason, âYou go out first. Iâll talk to Nancy:
Jason nodded and left the ward.
Grace said, âIâm sorry. My husband didnât mean any harm by what he said. He just wanted to explain that the Reed family also cares about the child in your belly. However, they care more about your safety than the child.â
Upon hearing this, Nancyâs guarded expression gradually faded.
Grace sat down by the bedside and said, âNancy, to me, you are my daughterâs benefactor and my future daughter-in-law. I am grateful to you, cherish you, and understand you.â
Nancy was startled by Graceâs words of âfuture daughter-in-law.â
âIâ¦Iâm not anyoneâs daughter-in-lawâ¦â
âDonât you love Mick?â Grace asked.
