Chapter 720
Elliot calculated the time and replied, “sh and a linlf weeks,”
“We won’t be able to find out. The current testing methods in the country rely on analysis, and at this early stage, it’s impossible to conduct such tests. Unfortunately, we might have to wait until the child is born to confirm,” Yosef explained.
However, waiting until then might be too late.
After a prolonged silence, Elliot finally mustered the courage to ask, “If… we consider termination, is there a way that won’t harm Sheena completely?”
“It’s not possible. Any procedure to terminate a pregnancy will have some impact on the mother.”
Hearing this, Elliot sighed silently.
If only men could bear children…
If that were the case, he would willingly take on the suffering, and Sheena would only need to focus on her health and happiness.
Noticing Elliot’s silence, Yosef continued, “But, if the child is at an early stage, there are medications available that minimize harm to the mother. After taking them, with proper rest, there shouldn’t be significant issues.”
“What medication?” Elliot inquired.
“It’s called Mifepristone. However, this drug was only recently introduced from abroad and is currently restricted in the domestic market. Obtaining it might be a bit troublesome…”
“Alright.”
Elliot promptly ended the call and dialed Lionel’s number.
“After you wrap up your tasks in the next couple of days, I’ll arrange for you to go abroad. Help me buy some things…”
Elliot began explaining.
Though Elliot did not explicitly state the purpose of buying the medication, Lionel felt something was amiss. He quickly checked online and was shocked by what he found.
“Are you serious? This medication is for abortion! It’ll harm Sheena’s body!” Lionel was deeply
concerned.
Elliot was also in a dilemma, but nothing was more important than Sheena’s health.
He should be the only one suffering the pain caused by the S404 bio–virus.
Elliot simply replied, “Don’t ask more. I have my reasons. Just follow through.”
komet, still messy, insisted, “You ston’t understand. This child means the world to sheena, During those days in Laubabwe, she went to great lengths to deal with Nathaniel, all to secure this child.”
Elhor fell into silence, unable to utter a word:
Lionel continued, “she really values this baby. If you try to quietly strip her of the right to be a mother and apologise afterward, it probably won’t work, she’ll be very upset, and she might even come to hate you?”
Those last few words hit Elliot’s heart hard
Just when his mind uses in turmoil, the lights in the examination room suddenly dimmed.
me out with the good news.
“Congratulations, Mr. Jenkins! Ms. Lawson is expecting twins!”
Elliot immediately ended the call with Lionel, got up, and went inside to find Sheena.
His expression was serious, lacking the expected joy of soon becoming a father.
Even the nurse, who had anticipated receiving a tip, was bewildered,
“Nana, do you feel any discomfort at all?” He carefully helped Sheena, nervously checking if any medical instruts had caused her pain.
Sheena cupped his face with both hands and kissed his thin lips.
Her face radiated joy as she exclaimed, “Ell, the doctor said the reason for my intense pregnancy symptoms was because I’m carrying twins, causing an excess of hormones. But my body is currently very healthy!!
Excitedly, she handed him the report, adding, “Although it’s too early to see now, Eli, in a few months, you’re going to have two little ones all at once! Are you happy?”
Elliot was stunned, staring at the medical report and then at the joyful expression on Sheena’s face. For a while, he could not find the right words to respond.
