Chapter 392 Lab Accident

"Did something happen in the lab?"

Charlotte came from the direction of the lab, so I took it for granted that the lab was the reason why she looked so seriousNôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She shook her head when she heard my question, yet then she nodded quickly

"Olive, it's not a lab accident, but it's bad for you. I was inspecting a collection of equipment sent by Lorna Jewelry Group to return to them when I discovered that one of the distillation units was not properly sealed. Chances are, you inhaled strong acid solvent vapors."

I looked at Charlotte's moving lips and was instantly at a loss

Inhaling solvent vapor in an experiment wasn't a very dangerous accident. If ordinary people inhaled strong acids or alkalis, which had certain harmful solvents, all they had to do was go to the hospital to get a general physical examination But I was pregnant!

Although what kind of damage could strong acid solvents do to pregnant women's bodies wasn't in my expertise, the first second I knew about it, I was overwhelmed by great worries as all mothers-to-be would be

That may be the sensitivity and vulnerability of women who were about to become mothers

Most women would take care of the fetuses inside them carefully from the day they knew they were pregnant, accompanying their babies

little by little to grow up until their babies became a part of the family

I was already hurt badly in the Antarctic ice when I found out I was pregnant. My baby was so tough and made it even in that difficult situation. If I failed to give birth smoothly because of my mistake in the lab this time, I couldn't imagine how devastated I would be

"Take her to the hospital! Now!"

Aaron probably just learned the news. While Charlotte and I were still having a hard time accepting such a fact, he sprinted over to us and offered a piece of very sensible advice

No. It wasn't a piece of advice. It was an order

In a trance, I was picked up by him, and before I had a chance to say that I could walk by myself,

I was already stuffed into the ambulance

A series of tests, including blood pressure and EKG, began the second I lay on the stretcher in the ambulance. Although I was nothing but anxious about it, I was embarrassed that Aaron had made such a big fuss

We entered the hospital. My other indicators were all right, and I received blood tests in the VIP room on the top floor. Only then did Aaron gradually calm down, and he no longer looked so tense and nervous

Yet instead of completely relaxing us, the test results brought more questions

"Strong acid solvents do have a risk of affecting fetal development, but it is not yet clear whether Mrs. Morris is affected. It's a good thing that Mrs. Morris didn't inhale much steam." Maria,

an elderly female doctor, held my report sheet and looked at it for a long time by the window

Unfortunately, she didn't give us a definite answer in the end. "Two weeks. Let's wait for two weeks."

After two weeks, the fetus would grow inside me for a long enough time. Only then could the doctor tell for sure whether it had been affected by the strong acid solvent vapor

I spent practically every day in the lab, so, things like enough time and control groups had been engraved in my mind deeply. However, when it was my baby who became the subject of the experiment, I still couldn't help but feel panicked

"Doctor, does it have to be two weeks? Is there really no other way?"

I squeezed the edge of the bed, looked at Maria standing next to the window, and pleaded for her help

Maria looked at the same worried look on Aaron's face as I did, sighed, and shook her head

"T'm afraid that there's no other way, but I can offer you an alternative."

Perhaps it was Aaron's great care for me that made Maria realize that I was the most important to him. Besides, Aaron and I were both young, and this was my first pregnancy, so she naturally told us the option she had not intended to propose in the first place

"The safest course of action would be for Mrs

Morris to have an abortion today. After all, two weeks is plenty of time for a fetus to grow. If

there's indeed something wrong with it, aborting a drug-induced fetus in your late pregnancy is likely to put you in danger."

In other words, I had to make a choice now. I could give up on my baby right now, avoiding all the risks that might affect me

Or, I could wait for another test after two weeks

The best result was that both my baby and I would be fine, and the worst-case scenario was that there would be something wrong with my baby, and I would be physically damaged or even dead during the abortion
