Chapter 387 The Doctor's Advice

Mandy handed the report to the doctor. The doctor looked away from the computer screen, pushed the glasses onto the tip of her nose, and smiled at Mandy.

"Miss Zhou, I can see that you've been pregnant for six weeks. Well, since you have taken a lot of contraceptive pills previously, I suggest you abort this child. Contraceptives are harmful to your body as well as the child. You shouldn't take them anymore!"

Mandy's stomach did a little flip when she heard the doctor's words. Her heart was pounding, and she broke into a cold sweat. How could she abort the child?

"Doctor, what did you say? I'm not sure if I heard it right," Mandy bit her lip and asked hopefully.

She had become emotional when she saw the ultrasound. The embryo was adorable; it was the result of Mandy and Nathan's love for each other.

"You young people don't care about your health. You have irresponsibly overused contraceptives at a young age. I suggest you abort this child and follow a strict regimen before trying for a baby. There are more chances for you to give birth to an abnormal baby," the doctor said fiercely.

Mandy was shocked, and she stroked her belly absentmindedly. Tears started to stream down her cheeks relentlessly. This was not true, was it? Mandy was not ready to accept her fate. She sniffed loudly and asked, "Doctor, are you sure that the fetus is abnormal or is it likely to be abnormal. I mean, there are chances for it to be a normal healthy child as well, right?" Her voice was trembling with fear, but there was a hint of hope in it.

"I'm not sure, but there is a maximum possibility for the child to be abnormal. Even if you give birth to a normal child, his health will deteriorate gradually. His immunity will drop, and he might become weak. I suggest you have an abortion," the doctor said sternly.

"It's only a probability. There is always hope, Doctor. I don't want to give up on the baby. I believe in miracles, and I'm sure that this will be a healthy baby." Mandy wiped the fresh stream of tears that escaped from her eyes.

The doctor rubbed her temples and groaned. "All right. How about this? I suggest you come for a checkup every month to examine the condition of the baby. I'll prescribe medicines, and I want you to follow the prescription strictly. But don't blame me for not warning you if the baby's condition is not normal." She knitted her eyebrows and stared a

he wouldn't be able to wear any of them for the next nine months.

"What are you thinking about, silly girl?" Nathan asked as he kneeled to help Mandy put on her slippers. He frowned when he saw the enigmatic expression on her face.

"Nothing, Nathan." Mandy smiled as emotions were gushing out when she saw Nathan's face. She did not how to tell him that she was pregnant.

"What's the matter? I can see that something is bothering you." Nathan ushered Mandy to the living room, and his face was beaming with happiness.

"I was just thinking that these shoes are beautiful," she lied.

"You are the most beautiful thing I have ever laid eyes on. These shoes fade in comparison next to you."

Nathan was drawing circles behind Mandy's back. A subtle blush crept on Mandy's cheeks, and she leaned against him and wrapped her arms around his neck.

At that moment, Lillian walked into the room with a plate of fried sweet plum blossom melon, which was Mandy's favorite snack. The smell of it made Mandy sick to the stomach.

Mandy clamped her mouth with her hand and stormed off to the bathroom.

Nathan knitted his brows in confusion and followed her.

He saw Mandy retching with her hand clenched on her hair.

He rubbed Mandy's back worriedly in gentle strokes.

Mandy was gasping for breath when she was done vomiting. She quickly rinsed her mouth and thought that the baby was already starting to be a troublemaker. A small smile tugged on the corners of her lips when she stroked her belly. She silently thanked God for blessing her and Nathan with a baby. She couldn't be happier.
