Attracted By My Ex-wife novel Chapter 188

In the examination room on the third floor, Anne stood by the door and waited quietly to be called. The physical examination was like a routine for her, so she wasn’t as anxious at all. For the sake of the baby, she had been regulating her emotions since she was pregnant. Her switch to a stress-free lifestyle should have done wonders for her. Her condition should be much better compared to before.

She glanced at the window, looked outside, and saw rows of green trees waving at her as the wind gently breezed in the warm afternoon. The scenery was contagiously serene, yet the expression in her eyes was vast and deep.

"Anne Luo?"

When Anne heard the doctor’s call that echoed the quiet halls, she immediately walked in.

The examination didn't take too long to conclude. It seemed everything ran so smoothly.

"Doctor, is everything okay with me?" asked Anne.

She didn't ask Sam anything before because she knew that he would tell her everything automatically, but the doctor in front of her was relatively new, and she didn't know how he was like.

"The result won't come out for the next two hours, but once I have it, I will surely inform you immediately. You can wait patiently for now," The doctor answered in the most professional tone, and Anne had to go outside to do as he said.

"Anne, how was the examination?" Emily asked while holding Charles in her arms.

Ever since Charles was diagnosed with his leukemia, he received the best and immediate medical attention, and his illness was thankfully recuperating by the day.

"I don't know yet. We’re going to have to wait for the results, but there shouldn’t be any problem," said Anne with a complacent smile.

"How is my great-grandson doing?" An anxious voice came from the silent corner of the corridor. Looking back, Anne found out it was Carl.

"He’s much better now. Grandpa, why did you come here? You should be at home resting and taking care of yourself." Anne was surprised that he was here. She was not averse to Carl so she spoke with some respect.

Hearing this, Carl frowned and said, "What's wrong with me coming here? I have never been better anyway. Can't I come and see my grandson occasionally?"

His words were a little rude, but Anne could see that he really liked Charles, so she was not provoked at all.

"Of course, you can. Although, Charles will be leaving soon, I could ask the driver to take you home," said Anne.

"No, there’s no need for that. By the way, didn't you say that you would give Charles a handsome name? How does Edward Fu sound like?" said Carl as he nodded his head. He seemed to be very satisfied with the name he suggested.

Hearing that, Anne also thought it was a good idea. She affirmed, "That's actually a good one."

But Anne's smiling face faded once Carl spoke of another suggestion.

"How about the nickname? We should change it as well," Carl proposed seriously.

"Why? I think Charles is a good name. I don't want the name to be too flashy. A heavy name just might put pressure on him. I was hoping that he remains healthy all his life," Anne insisted.

However, Carl was a little dissatisfied. He said, "My great-grandson is absolutely not an ordinary person. He will do wonders as he grows to be an outstanding man. The name Charles is not in line with my great-grandson's temperament!"

Seeing that Carl contended with assertion, Anne thought it was not appropriate to refuse. She had to be obedient for the sake of the child.

"Alright, have you thought of a name yet?" Anne asked curiously.

"Eddy. I want him to be called Eddy. He's so brilliant that everyone can't come up to be on par with him. He's going to be exceptional, but not like his father. Kevin is so full of glory that he doesn't know how to restrain himself or see kindness in other people, especially to those who care for him," Carl explained seriously.

Suddenly, Anne was moved. She admired Carl even more. His kind words were far from what she had expected to come out of his mouth.

She had always thought that Carl regarded Kevin as a perfect man, but he saw greater potential in her child. Carl didn't speak much about Kevin, but he knew him very well. It turned out that he was an observant and honest person.

"That is so true, Grandpa. I think the nickname fits him very well," said Anne in approval.

"And I think he likes it too. Look, Eddy is smiling," said Emily excitedly, pinching Edward's little face.

Suddenly, the smile on Carl's face widened like a ray of sunshine. When he looked at Edward, his eyes were full of warmth, and when Anne saw the expression on his face, she was touched by the pureness of the moment, so she too wore a beautiful smile.

"Before we head back, Emily will accompany you back home, okay? I still have something to do, but I'll be right behind you," said Anne to Carl.

Soon the night fell into darkness and the whole hospital was shrouded in a hazy atmosphere.

The busy hospital soon grew weary after a long day of service. Anne stayed for her test results, and she returned to the hall to see the doctor who had examined her.

"You’re just in time, Anne. Here is the result of the examination." The doctor gave her the result without any hints about what kind of news she was about to read.

Anne took the piece of paper and looked at the examination result casually. She found the words ‘permanent injury of the uterus’ in bold. She thought she had seen it wrong, so she read it twice, but the words were just the same. She realized that she saw it correctly the first time.

"What does this mean?" pointing at the words, she asked in confusion as she started to panic.

But the man said lightly, "I’m afraid your uterus has been damaged. This means that you are no longer capable of bearing a child," the doctor answered.

"That's impossible! I'm in good health. How did this happen? Why can't I have a baby?" The news threw Anne in a state of incredible disbelief, and her face sulked as if she was thrown into a dark and cold cave, lost and helpless.

"We don't know the reason yet. Was there a possible trauma that could have caused this complication? Maybe, you have suffered irreversible damage from before. If you are worried, you can always go for a second opinion, have it checked somewhere else just to be sure, but your results don’t have irregularities. The result is likely conclusive." The doctor's cold words confirmed that she indeed had some problems, but he was unaware of the grave implication of her infertility. Without her ability to make life, she would also be incapable of saving another.

"Are you okay?" the doctor asked. When Anne was about to faint, the doctor reached out to help her, but she slowly pushed him away and barely had the strength to keep her balance.
