Chapter 178 Give up on Lucia
"Congratulations to both of you, Mrs. Davies is indeed pregnant," the doctor assumed that Juliana and Arthur were husband and wife, so she smiled and said happily, "Mrs. Davies is just pregnant and must be careful in the first trimester. Pay attention to getting enough sleep and regular rest. Her diet also needs to be adjusted."
Juliana listened quietly to the doctor's words, and tilted her head to look at Arthur.
Arthur deliberately avoided Juliana's eyes and looked at the doctor ruthlessly and said, "Doctor, we have no intention of having a child for the time being."NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
"Wanna abort it?" The doctor asked in surprise.
Arthur felt the words sounded harsh, but still managed to nod, and he did not dare to see the way Juliana was looking at him.
"What a pity..." The doctor sighed and said to Arthur, "It's hard for Mrs. Davies to get pregnant; there is a blockage in her tubes. But now she gets pregnant. It's a miracle."
After listening to the doctor's words, Arthur felt like a heavy stone weighed on his heart. He did not expect Juliana had such a problem. He subconsciously looked down at Juliana who lowered her head. He didn't know what she was thinking. Only her slightly trembling shoulders reveal some of her emotions.
The doctor looked at Arthur, then at Juliana, and continued, "Also, it's risky for Mrs. Davies to have an abortion. There is an eighty-five percent chance of concurring hemorrhage, and scar tissue will be left in the uterus after this abortion, and I'm afraid she will be unlikely to be a mother again in the future. Sir, I suggest you reconsider it."
What the doctor said was a bolt of lightning... Julia could no longer get pregnant after this abortion?
This was simply the most severe punishment from God!
Looking down at Juliana, Arthur saw the tears coming out of her eyes, and they looked at each other, neither of them able to say a word.
he doctor kindly suggested, "Mrs. Davies is just pregnant. There is no hurry to make a decision. You two should think it over before making a decision, but as a doctor, I advise you not to decide its future as it's a gift granted to you."
The doctor's words seemed to push Juliana's button. She covered her mouth to muffle her choked voice, got up and rushed out. Arthur thanked the doctor and then went after Juliana. After the two left, the doctor took the phone and dialed a number.
"Mrs. Taylor, everything went well. Yes, nothing will go wrong. I have bribed my colleagues. He will get the same result from whoever he asks. OK, I'll check the money you transfer later, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, the doctor received a message. She swiped to unlock her phone and found two million dollars had been transferred to her account. Looking at the account balance, she showed a greedy and satisfied smile.
After chasing her into the atrium of the hospital, Arthur grabbed Juliana's wrist and made her turn around to face him, and he saw a tear-stained face.
"Julia, don't cry for now..." Arthur didn't know what to say for a moment, just feeling sad to see Juliana's tears.
Juliana looked at Arthur with tearful eyes, then stubbornly wiped the tears away from her eyes and said, "Okay, I won't cry."
But her voice was trembling.
"I didn't know you had such a problem ..." Arthur thought for a while before he said softly.
"Yes, of course you don't know, but I do. I didn't think I'd get pregnant, and I did promise you yesterday that I wouldn't keep it, but ..." Juliana continued in a choked voice, "Last night when I was lying in the bed, I could feel it in my belly. As soon as I closed my eyes, it was like I could hear it calling me Mommy. Arthur, I feel I am so cruel!"
Thinking about the question Juliana asked him at the door this morning, Arthur realized how Juliana was struggling within herself and how selfish he was.
"Julia, I'm so sorry, I ..." Arthur's apology was interrupted by Juliana before he could finish his sentence.
"I know you don't want this baby, it's an accident, a mistake for you, but not for me! It is a gift given to me by God, and I will never be a mother again for the rest of my life if I miss this chance. Arthur, do you know how sad I am?"
With a hoarse voice, Juliana vented her grievances towards Arthur, and she broke out in tears.
Arthur was not feeling better than Juliana. He reached out and held Juliana into his arms. His nature of kindness made him say words of consolation in a soft tone, "Okay, let's keep it. Let's keep it."
Arthur could not care less about the consequences he had to bear. What he could only see now were Juliana's tears.
"Don't force yourself," Juliana yelled, pushing Arthur away as hard as she could, with hidden sadness in her tearful eyes.
"I don't need your sympathy and pity. I will take care of the baby myself after it is born, I will go home now and never bother you!"
Arthur knew Juliana was aggrieved. Men would feel pity for women who pretended to be tough. He once again reached out and hugged Juliana, whispered, "Stop saying cross words. I will be responsible and will give the child a father and a home."
"Don't you lie!" Juliana struggled and hissed, not believing Arthur's words.
"I'm not lying. Yes, it did come as a surprise to me, but I'm not going to selfishly ask you to abort it," Arthur said.
"The doctor is right. The baby is a gift granted by God and I should not decide its future. Julia, let's keep the baby, I will take care of it and you."
Juliana stopped struggling after hearing that, and after a while, she raised her tearful eyes to look at Arthur and asked, "Really?"
Arthur's heart ached. He thought of the consequences and the future of him and Lucia, but he could not abandon Juliana now, neither could he abandon the child in her belly, so he replied firmly, "Really." "Will you give me and the baby a home?" Feeling insecure, Juliana wanted Arthur to reconfirm his promise.
"I will," Arthur said, but his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. Choosing Juliana and her baby meant he gave up Lucia and ruined the hope of getting back together with Lucia.
