Chapter 48 Preventing Miscarriage
Lilian gazed at her empty suitcase, containing only two pieces of intimate clothing.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and chose to remain silent.
At present, Lilian did not inclined to concern herself with clothing. Her primary worry was the child in her womb.
Once everyone had left, Lilian mustered the strength to seek out a doctor.
The community's hospital was rather small. It's just a clinic with just two floors. The ground floor served as an outpatient clinic, while the upper floor was reserved for infusions and hospitalization.
There were only five doctors in total working in shifts.
She arrived at the outpatient department, noticing that there were no other patients inside. She gently knocked on the door and entered.
"How are you feeling?" The doctor asked and pushed a piece of paper and a pen toward Lilian.
Lilian picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, "Doctor, how is the child in my womb?"
Upon seeing her handwriting, the doctor fell silent for a moment before saying, "How should I put it? Although the child is quite resilient, the baby is currently weak. Even if we manage to save the baby, there will likely be various issues later on, possibly even stunted growth or a miscarriage."
The doctor paused and continued, "My recommendation is to have an abortion. It would be better for both you and the child."
She continued to write, "Why?"
The doctor patiently explained, "The underdevelopment of the baby may be related to your usual dietary habits and other factors. Coupled with the recent episode of fetal distress, I would advise you to have an abortion now. Otherwise, you will suffer even more later."
Lilian pursed her lips, not hastily agreeing to the doctor's suggestion. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Everything she had done so far was for this child. The child was her hope. If she chose to terminate the pregnancy, she wouldn't have thrown that stone through the window last night.
She would choose to die together with this child if necessary.
The doctor continued to persuade her, and Lilian wrote down, "I want to keep it."
The doctor furrowed his brows. "You're quite stubborn. If you choose to keep it, you'll endure the hardships."
Lilian nodded and wrote, "I know. Thank you, Doctor. I'm prepared to bear any consequences."
Seeing these words, the doctor sighed. "Alright, since you're determined, I won't dissuade you further. Go back and rest for a while and then you can leave the hospital. You should go to a larger hospital. Our facility won't be able to handle this."
"Do you have any money?"
Lilian was slightly taken aback. She had no money, not a single cent, and even her phone was still in the warehouse of the villa.
Lilian held her empty suitcase at the hospital entrance, deliberating after a mental struggle. She ultimately decided to return to retrieve her phone.
She walked back along the road, feeling a faint throbbing pain in her lower abdomen.
She dared not walk too quickly, so she proceeded at a measured pace, taking breaks as needed. It wasn't until four o'clock in the afternoon that she returned to the villa.
At this time, Francis was likely not at home.
So she confidently entered the password and pushed the door, making her way to the warehouse where she found her phone amid a pile of cluttered books.
Holding her phone, she went upstairs to find a charger, but as soon as she pushed the door, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bedroom's bathroom.
