“It’s not your fault. It’s ours.” Elizabeth was quite reasonable. She knew who had done something wrong in the past.
Armand squatted down next to Theresa, putting his arm on her shoulder, “Grandma, I want to be with Theresa. Do you agree?”
Elizabeth looked at him, knowing that he must get an answer.
If she wouldn’t agree, she would be a ruthless woman. After all, Theresa became like this because of them.
“Of course, I agree.” Elizabeth couldn’t accept that Theresa wouldn’t become a mother, but she thought that everything could be cured as the medical skills were so advanced now. Armand had never expected that his grandmother could accept that they wouldn’t have children because it was Theresa. He was overjoyed, “You are the best, Grandma!” He hugged Elizabeth excitedly.
However, Elizabeth didn’t feel delighted at all. She pushed her grandson away and said to Theresa, “Will you come to see me in the hospital tomorrow?”
Theresa hesitated for a moment and answered, “Sure.”
Elizabeth patted her on the hand, “It’s getting late. You should go to bed early.”
Armand helped Theresa up, still feeling overexcited. He said, “Thank you, Grandma.”
Elizabeth ignored Armand and didn’t answer him. She yelled at the nursing worker who was standing afar, “Push me back.”
Armand hurriedly said, “I’ll walk Theresa in. Please let me send you back to the hospital later.”
Theresa said, “No, thank you, Armand. Please send Grandma back.”
After all, Elizabeth couldn’t walk, and she needed help to sit in the car. It was proper for Armand to send her back.
Armand still wanted to say something, but Theresa smiled at him, “Let’s meet in the hospital tomorrow.”
After finishing her words, she turned around and walked into the villa.
Armand didn’t follow her. It made sense – his grandmother had agreed, so they had plenty of chances in the future.
He pushed Elizabeth and sent her back.
However, inwardly, Elizabeth was planning to find a good doctor to do the checkup for Theresa.
Armand was still overjoyed because his grandmother had accepted Theresa. He didn’t notice that Elizabeth had her own purpose to ask Theresa to go to the hospital.
The next early morning, Theresa went to the hospital. She also bought a fruit basket, since she was going to visit an elder in the hospital. She couldn’t go there without a gift. She must be polite.
Elizabeth didn’t sleep for a whole night. How could she understand and accept it since she had the ingrained thoughts?
She agreed because Theresa was injured because of them, so she had to say yes. Besides, she believed that the doctor could cure the inability to bear a baby.
She had completely ignored that Theresa’s face was flawless, which could only be achieved by advanced medicals kills. She still thought that Theresa hadn’t met a good doctor. She asked Theresa to come to see her in the hospital because she wanted to give her a checkup.
She wanted Theresa to get medical treatment.
Now the medical skills were so advanced, Elizabeth believed that Theresa would eventually get pregnant.
If not, she could accept the tube baby, as long as it was Armand’s baby.
Theresa knocked on the door. Armand went to open it. Seeing her, he immediately took over the gift from her hands. He asked in a gentle tone, “Had breakfast?”
Theresa answered, “Yeah. I came here after breakfast.”
Armand let her in, “Come on in.”
“Come and sit here, Theresa.” Elizabeth waved at her.
Theresa walked over. Elizabeth could agree, which made her surprised. She was quite grateful to Elizabeth as well, as she knew how much Elizabeth wanted a great-grandson. “Good morning, Grandma.”
“Morning.” Elizabeth pulled her hand and said, “You’ve lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot.”
Theresa looked down and said, “It’s all bygones.”
Elizabeth patted her on the hand and said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll be there with you in the future.”
Then they heard a few knocks on the door.
Armand went to open the door. Usually, doctors would come here for the ward rounds at this time in the morning.
However, it wasn’t the doctor who usually checked Elizabeth up.
Armand asked, “Excuse me…”
“I’m Dr. Hawkins…”
“Hi, Dr. Hawkins. Please come in,” said Elizabeth towards the door.
Armand looked back at his grandmother, “What’s going on?”
He didn’t change the doctor. The doctor who always saw Elizabeth was an expert with high capability.
It was not necessary to change to another doctor.
“This is Dr. Hawkins, specializing in infertility. I asked him to check up on Theresa. We are not a poor family. I’m sure Theresa could be cured.” Elizabeth believed that she was doing it for the good of Armand and Theresa.
In an instant, Theresa felt as if she was poured by a basin of cold water. She felt chilly from the tip to toe.
Reaching out her hand, she felt that her throat was so dried out that she couldn’t utter a word.
Armand also looked quite annoyed instantly. He said to Dr. Hawkins in a cold tone, “No, the checkup is unnecessary. Please leave.”
“Why not? Theresa can’t give birth, can she? Dr. Hawkins used to study abroad and he’s an expert. Probably he could cure Theresa,” said Elizabeth hurriedly, “I’m doing it for your own good. You don’t want to have no child all your life, do you?”
“I’ve told you I don’t want any child…”
“Don’t panic. If you truly have the problem of infertility, I can help you. Besides, the test tube technology is so advanced now…”
Theresa stood up and looked at the young doctor expressionlessly, “Can you do the test tube baby without a uterus?”
“Well… I can’t do it.” The test tube would only be used to cultivate the germ. The baby needed to grow up in the uterus. Without the uterus, the baby couldn’t be born at all.
Unless they would use surrogacy and let the baby grow in another woman’s uterus.
“Hence, you can’t cure me.” Theresa kept shaking while standing. Whenever it was mentioned, she felt unbearable pain in her heart as if it was stabbed by a dagger.
She tried hard to keep calm and looked back at Elizabeth, “I’m sorry, Grandma, but I must go now. I need to deal with something urgent.”
After finishing her words, she strode towards the door. Armand immediately followed her and pulled her hand, “Wait, Theresa…”
