Chapter 144 Go to the Hospital
Later, after confirming that Juliana had gone to bed, Kane left the hotel quietly and went to a cafe nearby.
The next morning, Kane was awakened by a knock on the door. He got up and opened the door. To his surprise, it was Juliana, who was dressed neatly.
“Kane, let’s go,” Juliana said as soon as she saw Kane. She was in a hurry to have a checkup.
Kane looked back at the curtains in the room. No sunlight penetrated through them, which indicated that it was early.
He comforted Juliana, “It’s still early. The doctor is not on duty yet. Wait for me for a while. I’ll take you to have breakfast after washing up. Then we can go to the hospital.”
Juliana opened her mouth but said nothing. She turned around and went back to her room.
Kane went back to his room and checked his watch. It was just six o’clock. Perhaps Juliana spent a sleepless night. This realization made Kane have mixed feelings.
He felt guilty for Juliana and wanted to make it up to her, but at the same time, he wanted to keep the baby. Currently, Kane could only choose the latter.
After washing up, Kane took Juliana to the hotel dining room for breakfast. Then he took a lot of effort to persuade her into eating something. After that, they went to the hospital together.
When they arrived at the hospital, Kane didn’t register but directly took Juliana to the floor where the obstetrics and gynecology department was.
Juliana was confused and asked, “Kane, we don’t have to register?”
“I made an appointment online yesterday,” Kane replied.
Juliana nodded and followed Kane. Soon, they saw a gynecologist in the hospital. She was a female doctor in her early fifties. She was plump, with an amicable smile on her face. Then Juliana started to have a full checkup.
A lot of people were queuing in the hospital. When the checkup was finished, it was about noon.
Kane took all the test results and handed them to the gynecologist.
When the gynecologist was seeing the workup on Juliana, Juliana was looking at her nervously. She wished the gynecologist to tell her that she was in good health and could have an operation later.
However, the gynecologist was looking very strangely at the results with a deep frown. She occasionally glanced up at Juliana, which made Juliana uneasy.
“Doctor, how is my wife?” Kane put her hands on Juliana’s shoulders to comfort her and asked the doctor anxiously.
He pretended her husband to make her feel at ease and do the body check.
The gynecologist finally put down the test results in her hand, but she let out a sigh before she said anything.
Juliana’s heart jolted and she quickly asked, “Doctor, what’s wrong with me?”
She had a bad hunch, and soon it turned out to be right.
The gynecologist thought for a while and said to her, “Miss Knight, you are in poor health. Do you know it’s hard for you to get pregnant?”NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“What?” Juliana was confused.
“There is a blockage in your tubes, so you are unlikely to get pregnant. But now you get pregnant. It’s a miracle. You should be very careful through pregnancy, or you might have a miscarriage by accident,” The gynecologist said seriously.
“How… How could it be…” Juliana’s voice trembled. A blockage in her tubes? She had never done a checkup of this kind, so she didn’t know it was hard for her to get pregnant. Even so, she got pregnant with the child whose father raped her.
Why did fate play such a trick on her?
Juliana felt helpless.
She couldn’t accept such a cruel reality.
Juliana gritted her teeth and asked the gynecologist, “Can I have an abortion now?”
“Abortion?” The gynecologist took a look at Juliana and seemed to have heard something absurd. “Do you know how difficult it is for you to get pregnant? It’s a pity to have an abortion.”
“I don’t care,” Juliana said fiercely, “I don’t want this child!”
“It’s okay if you don’t want it. But I gotta remind you of the risks of abortion surgery. You are very likely to have a hemorrhage during the surgery. It will kill the baby and you. Also, even if you make it, with a blockage in your tubes and uterine wound, it’s impossible for you to get pregnant again. Miss Knight, do you not want to be a mother anymore?”
What the gynecologist said was a bolt from the blue. Couldn’t she be a mother anymore?
At this moment, her parents’ faces flashed through Juliana’s mind. When she went back to visit them on the new year holiday, they urged her to have a baby with Arthur soon with bright smiles. Was she going to let them down?
“Doctor, I need to talk alone with Julia.” Noticing Juliana’s pale face, Kane held her hand and said to the doctor.
“Okay, take your time,” The gynecologist said kindly, looking at Kane meaningfully.
Kane took Juliana to a quiet corner near the garden. Holding her hands, Kane could feel her trembling.
He talked sense into her sincerely, “Julia, please think about keeping the baby. You have heard what the doctor said just now. It’s risky to do the surgery. I took you here to help you, not to hurt you!”
“Do I have to keep this bastard and let it remind me that I was gang raped?” Juliana broke down. Tears trickled down when she bellowed.
“Julia!” Her breakdown made Kane realize he had to be tough with her.
Then he said harshly, “I know you are anguished. But do you think it’s worth it if you lose your life because of the abortion? Do you think it’s worth it if you can’t be a mother anymore because of the abortion?”
Juliana’s face was as white as sheet, and it turned livid when she heard Kane’s words. Obviously, she was resentful, wronged, and bitter.
“Julia,” Kane knew she was listening to what he said.
He reached out and held Juliana’s trembling body into his arms, whispering, “Julia, it is your baby, your flesh and blood. Do not hurt it and yourself because of hatred, okay?”
It was easy for Kane to say that because he was not the one that suffered. But Juliana knew he was right. She couldn’t afford the consequences of having an abortion.
