He took out his phone and saw that it was Abbott who had called him. He hung up the phone, leaned over to Loredana, and whispered, “I’m going outside to return a call.” Loredana nodded, “Just go.”
Cormac walked out of the medical examination room and went to the end of the corridor to give a callback, the call was connected soon and Abbott also picked up the phone very soon. “What happened?” Cormac asked.
“I’ve found out the things that you let me investigate.”
“Who was it?”
“Emma Bailey, Declan’s sixth older sister,” Abbott answered.
Cormac raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed like he was not so surprised – he already had some guesses in his mind.
“Are you busy, Mr. Mendelsohn? I wish to meet up with you.” Abbott stood in front of the window and said while looking at the scenery outside.
“What happened?”
Abbott said insistently, “I wish to meet up with you and talk to you in person.”
Cormac lifted his hand and glanced at the watch, and then he said, “I’m free only during the night.”
“Then let’s meet up at night, in my office at the company,” Abbott said.
Cormac realized that there was something wrong with Abbott’s tone of voice, he said, “I’ll be there at seven o’clock.”
He hung up the phone after saying.
He didn’t go back to the examination room immediately, he was thinking about why Abbott wanted to meet up with him?
Abbott was behaving unusually.
In the examination room…
Loredana Flores lowered her head and asked, “Is the baby healthy, doctor.”
The doctor nodded, “The child is growing very well and is well developed from all aspects, but…”
“But what?” Loredana became anxious suddenly. She was so afraid of the doctor talking in this way, saying that everything was fine at first, then followed by a comma.
“We’ll wait for Mr. Mendelsohn to come back, then I’ll tell both of you in more detail, both of you need to decide on what should be done next,” the doctor said seriously. Loredana frowned, it seemed like this was a serious thing listening to the way the doctor talked, she grabbed the doctor’s sleeve, “Can you please tell me first? If not, I can’t stop worrying.”
The doctor sighed when seeing that she was so anxious, “When you gave birth last time, did the doctor tell you not to give birth again?”
Loredana nodded; the doctor did tell her before that her body was injured.
“It’s true that you are not suitable to give birth anymore because your uterus lining has become very thin after giving birth last time. There won’t be any anomalies during the early stage of pregnancy, but as the amniotic fluid increases month by month and the fetus develops faster, the pressure exerted on your uterus will be greater, then you’ll be in danger. Now it is seven months, I suggest that you can have earlier labor induction or Cesarean delivery when it reaches seven and a half months, or the most is eight months.”
Loredana couldn’t accept it, “I, I’m not feeling unwell…”
The doctor said seriously, “When you start feeling unwell, you’ve already reached the limit. The medical technologies nowadays are very advanced, you don’t have to worry that the child can’t survive after being born. The child develops very well, there shall be no big problem, don’t worry too much.”
Loredana’s feeling became complicated in a sudden, for sure that a seven and a half months fetus hadn’t become mature yet.
“Doctor, I want to tell my husband by myself.” Loredana didn’t know how Cormac would feel when he heard of this news.
The doctor nodded, “Both of you should discuss first, but you must make a decision as soon as possible since it’s already seven months now.”
Loredana nodded, “We’ll discuss this properly…”
“What do we want to discuss properly?” Cormac heard of Loredana saying this when he came inside, so he continued her words and asked.
Loredana smiled immediately, “Nothing.” She held her womb and wanted to stand up, Cormac walked there and helped her, he asked, “Have you done the checking?”
Loredana nodded, “The doctor said that everything is fine.”
Cormac looked toward the doctor, it seemed like he was asking.
The doctor glanced at Loredana and pushed the spectacles on the nose, then said, “The child is very healthy.”
The doctor seemed to be doing this purposely, Cormac narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t ask in front of Loredana. He put his arms around Loredana’s waist and said, “Let’s go.”
He took the blue envelope with the examination reports inside and held Loredana to walk out of the examination room.
Walking out of the hospital and getting into the car, Cormac helped Loredana to fasten the seatbelt, then he said, “I go to the washroom for a while, wait for me in the car.” Loredana leaned on the seat back and nodded lightly.
Cormac didn’t go to the washroom, but he went back to the hospital and found the doctor who had helped Loredana for the check-up at the outpatient department. Although Loredana was pretending to be good, he could feel that Loredana was not as relaxed as when she came.
The doctor was not answering calmly as well, there were doubts in his mind, he couldn’t stop worrying if he didn’t clear his doubts.
The doctor was shocked to see that Cormac was back again.
“How’s my wife examination results?” Cormac asked directly.
“The child is fine, the scorings from all aspects were very high, but your wife’s body…”
“How’s her body?”
Cormac asked anxiously, the doctor was interrupted by him when the doctor had not finished talking.
The doctor opened the record of Loredana’s ultrasound imaging, the cursor was moved to show the thickness of the uterus, “Your wife’s uterus was injured when she gave birth last time, the condition now is still thinner than a normal pregnant woman. As the amniotic fluid increases month by month and the fetus develops faster, the pressure exerted on the uterus will be greater. I had told your wife that I suggest her to give birth earlier, it will be best before seven and a half months, this will reduce her risks. If the uterus breaks, not to mention about the child, even she will be in danger too.”
Cormac frowned, it was obvious that he couldn’t accept this kind of thing happening in a moment, “The previous checking results are all quite well.”
“The symptoms were not obvious previously because the months of pregnancy were still short.” The doctor paused for a while, “I had told your wife about this situation, she had said that she will discuss with you when going back.”
Cormac lowered his voice and asked, “Is there any other solution?”
The doctor shook his head, “The child will get bigger in the mother’s womb and grow even faster during the later months, this means that the pressure exerted on the uterus is becoming greater…”
“If she were to give birth earlier, will this affect the child?” Cormac had understood it, but it would definitely affect the child if she were to deliver the child when the pregnancy hadn’t reached full term.
“It will definitely affect the child since it doesn’t reach full term, but the medical conditions now are nice and the fetal condition is also very good, the survival rate is above eighty per cent,” the doctor said. “Eighty per cent?” It was obvious that Cormac was not satisfied with this answer.
However, Loredana’s health was more important, he then turned and left the hospital.
He decided to find other experts in this aspect to check again with this matter, then only he would make the decision.
He pretended as if he didn’t know anything when he got back to the car, he asked Loredana if she had waited for him for too long, Loredana said, “No.”
“Let’s go back home.”
Cormac started the car.
