Chapter 262
Olivia didn’t understand why she needed more tests. She and Tyler looked at the doctor, concerned.
“Is something wrong?” Tyler asked.
The doctor, seeing they were worried, tried to reassure them. “It’s quite common to have issues in the NT scan. We can do a more detailed test called amniocentesis to learn more.”
This made Olivia feel very anxious. She nervously asked, “Do I need to do that test?” She was lying in bed, holding onto the sheets tightly.
Instead of answering her directly, the doctor told Tyler, “Amniocentesis will give us a clearer picture.
“The baby’s unstable at the moment. Can she do it?” Tyler frowned.
“Yes, it’s safe for the baby,” assured the doctor.
Listening to them talk made Olivia even more worried. She kept thinking whether the baby was deformed, and what would happen if it was. Would it mean that it wouldn’t be born?
She couldn’t help but overthink.
Tyler noticed Olivia was very quiet and looked at her. He saw she was pale and looked
scared.
“Okay, let’s go ahead with the amniocentesis,” he told the doctor. He then went to Olivia and asked, “What’s on your mind?”
“Could there be something wrong with the baby?” Olivia asked, her voice filled with
worry.
Tyler tried to comfort her by holding her close, putting her face on his chest. He frowned as he looked at her. “Many people have issues in the initial scan. Let’s not worry until we have more information, okay?”
However, Olivia just couldn’t calm down. She was still feeling very anxious in his arms.
Tyler could tell she was really upset. He was worried too but tried to stay strong for her.” Let’s go home,” he said.
He thought it was best for Olivia not to stay in the hospital too long, to keep her from
worrying more.
When they got home, Maisy and Ana were eager to know how the check–up went.
“We’ll know more in a few days,” Tyler explained.
Maisy’s expression changed. “Why does she need another check–up? What happened?”
Ana, understanding the situation better, told her, “It’s nothing unusual, Mom. It’s all part of the process.” She then turned to Olivia and offered some food. “Are you hungry? We have soup.”
Maisy, though she had her own needs, cared about Olivia. “You must be tired. Let’s have something to eat.” Even though she was old and needed a maid’s support, she still helped Olivia to the table.
Olivia just wanted to rest, but she didn’t want to upset anyone. “I’m fine, Grandma, really. Don’t worry about me,” she reassured them.
“Let’s let her rest for now,” Tyler intervened.
Ana and Maisy were surprised but understood the need for rest.
