The doctor nodded, “These two failures were because of the quality of your ovum.” He paused for a moment, then continued, “If you want to do it for the third time, there’s a 90% chance of it failing again. Your ovum isn’t suitable for IVF. The success rate is too low so I’d suggest that you guys give up. Nothing good will come out of this, and it’s also mentally pressuring.”
Sure enough, this answer was a massive blow to the pair. Theresa felt that everything in front of her turned blurry. It felt as if her soul had left her. Her vision turned dark, and she passed out. “Theresa!” Armand hugged her. The doctor said to him, “Put her on the bed, and I’ll give her a check-up.”
Armand carried her in his arms and laid her flat down on the bed. The doctor came over to check on her. A moment later, he assured Armand, “She’s okay. She just couldn’t handle the sudden news and fainted. As her husband, you need to be there for her during this period.”
Armand looked down at Theresa, “I will.”
The doctor spoke again, “Actually, adoption is a good choice too.”
Armand said nothing. In fact, he didn’t want to say anything now. He understood everything the doctor said, but he was afraid Theresa couldn’t accept it.
This was undoubtedly a dead end for her. There was no room for change at all.
Even if she had accepted IVF, she still couldn’t have her own child.
When Theresa woke up, she was already at home. Armand was just next to her. Upon seeing her wake up, he asked, “Do you feel discomfort anywhere?” She shook her head and looked at the ceiling blankly, “Armand.”
“Yeah?”
“Maybe we should just break up…”
“What kind of nonsense is that?” Armand was emotional. He couldn’t accept what she just said.
Theresa closed her eyes and said with a hoarse voice, “You’re going to be miserable when you get caught in between grandma and me.”
“I’ll be fine.” Armand lowered his head and looked at her, “I can accept anything other than you leaving me. We’ve been through so much together, so let’s not say stuff like that anymore, okay?” Theresa’s weak voice came back, “Could you let me be alone for a while?”
She needed some time to herself.
Armand agreed to her request, “I’ll be in the living room if you need me.”
She said okay with an almost inaudible voice.
Armand knew that Theresa needed to calm down now, so he stood up and left the room.
Once the door closed, her tears fell.
This piece of news was too cruel for her.
There were so many people in this world who could have their own children but chose not to and be DINKS.
As for her, who so desperately wanted a child, she miserably could not fulfil her dreams. God was unfair to her. She was sobbing softly.
Armand squatted at the door. Although Theresa’s voice was soft, he still heard it. The surroundings were so quiet that he could even hear his own breathing. How could he not hear her depressed cries? Slowly, he slid to the ground, his head hung low, and his body trembled.
After a long time, the sounds from the room could only be heard intermittently and finally could not be heard anymore. Armand put his hand on the ground, supporting him to stand.
He pushed the door and entered the room, feigning to be relaxed as he asked her, “Shall I get you something to eat?”
Theresa had long lost her energy from crying too much. She turned her back towards him.
Armand walked over and squatted down in front of her, “We agreed to not care about it. Why did you cry?”
He stretched his hand out and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes gently.
Theresa raised her gaze slowly. There were still tears hanging on her eyelashes. Her voice was hoarse as she muttered, “I didn’t want to cry.”
But she couldn’t control her tears.
Everything was just too painful for her.0000
Armand told her, “I know. I understand you.”
How could he not understand what she was going through?
Even Armand was feeling miserable. It could only be worse for Theresa.
“I don’t feel like eating anything.” Theresa felt suffocated.
“What about I send you to Loredana’ place? There are many people there, and you can talk to them.” Now, Armand and Theresa were both exuding a depressing aura. She would only overthink when she was alone. Armand didn’t know what to do either, so he hoped that Loredana could make Theresa feel better.
Theresa said nothing. She didn’t want to go there. In fact, she didn’t feel like going anywhere now. She just wanted some time alone to breathe in the pain.
“Listen to me this time, alright?” Armand had no idea how to comfort her this time around, so he could only rely on others to do so.
“Do I look decent enough to go there now?” Theresa wasn’t afraid of letting Loredana see her in her current state. It was the others who she feared.
After all, there were many people at Loredana’ place. They would definitely ask questions upon seeing her state now.
“Theresa, what happened?”
“Theresa, you don’t look well.”
“Theresa, did you cry?”
She didn’t want to answer those questions.
“I get it. What if I get Loredana to come here? Is that alright?” Armand asked.
Theresa finally nodded.
Armand caressed her cheek, “I’ll go and make a call.”
Then, he stood up again and went to the living room to make the phone call.
Loredana woke up fairly early today. She was the one who sent the children to school today too. Usually, Jayden did this, but Loredana knew that he was feeling unwell, so she told him to stay at home and have a good rest.
Jayden said that she was overreacting and that he just caught a cold, but she made it seemed like he was seriously ill.
Loredana insisted on sending the kids to school. It was no harm for Jayden to rest at home. After all, he was old already.
She wanted to find a time to bring Jayden to the hospital for a medical check-up too. Since he was old, it would be great to get treatment earlier if he had any underlying sickness.
Jayden whined, “You don’t even let me send the kids to school. What fun is there left in my life?”
Loredana chuckled, “Well, you’re sick now. After you’ve recovered, this errand is still yours. No one will snatch this job away from you.”
He had nothing else to say and just told her that he wanted to go back to his room to take a nap.
Loredana reminded Coral to pay more attention to Jayden’s condition, to which Coral promised. Just as Loredana was about to return to her room to look at her son, her phone which she placed in the living room rang. She walked over and answered the call.
