Chapter 165 - Chapter 165

The doors opened ungently and the doctors I asked for rushed in towards Claire. The resident obstetrician called for a stand-by resuscitation team that immediately arrived upon request.  

They tilted her position and a paramedic did an immediate CPR.

They examined her heartbeat, blood pressure, and some more tests needed to be undergone. They injected some medication on her and waited for her to wake up with provided ventilation device.

"Claire fainted from hypertension and breathing difficulty. While change in blood pressure is normal for pregnant women, I recommend she gets her regular pregnancy checkups and an anti-hypertensive treatment," the doctor approached me.

"Fainting could be a sign of a bigger obstetric issue and Claire being hypertensive can result to preeclampsia and other cardiopulmonary disease in her later trimester."

All of it sounded lethal to my ears.

"Our team will be on stand-by throughout her pregnancy and I request you deploy a prenatal heath care team in the mansion," he continued.

I nodded.

A few obstetrics team members stayed for a bit until Claire was fully conscious. Before noon, they removed the ventilation support and left us in privacy. After passing out, Claire instantly went to sleep. Fake or not, I let her be.

"Please get me a towel and lukewarm water. I need to wipe her hot-headedness off," I asked Sya.

I fixed the pillows on her back and removed the stray strands of hair from her face.

"You always make me worried," I raised my brows at her.

"You want to do this yourself?" Sya handed me a bowl of water and a cotton fabric.

I nodded.

"I want to take care of them personally."

She bobbed her head in understanding and left us alone.

I wetted the fabric and wiped her arms, her neck, and face. Halfway through, I heard her speak.  

"Do you really love me…Zhio?"
