“Oh, it’s not a big issue,” the doctor replied.
Selena’s heart sank into her stomach. “Does that mean that there’s a problem? What’s the problem?” She was extremely anxious.
“Calm down, Miss Yard. I was wondering—how was it like for you when you gave birth to your triplets?” The doctor was aware of Selena’s medical history, and she had filled in some forms before the medical checkup.
“The triplets were premature babies as I fell down a flight of stairs and gave birth to them earlier than I had expected to. The process itself didn’t go that smoothly either,” she explained.
“What about your experience during your postpartum recovery?” the doctor asked again.
“My recovery…” Selena felt a dull ache in her chest whenever she thought about that period of her life. Roland and Jezebelle never allowed her the space or time to properly heal after her birth—Roland gave her a harsh whipping right after she got out of the hospital. She was covered in wounds when he finally chased her out of the house and announced that he didn’t have a daughter like her. How could she possibly have the chance to recuperate under such circumstances? She met Hades right after that, and she was thrown into his rigorous training program before she even had the opportunity to care for her children. Although Juniper was by her side, the young child had never been breastfed in her entire life. “It wasn’t that great.” Selena summarized it into a single sentence as she gave the doctor a bitter smile.
The doctor sighed in response. “According to your medical reports, it looks like it’ll be hard for you to conceive a child again.” Although she had already given birth to triplets, the news still came as a shock to her. She was stunned. I’m still so young—I’m barely 23 years old!
“You were too young when you first gave birth, and you gave birth to triplets! Even giving birth to twins would have caused a significant amount of harm to the mother’s body, let alone triplets like yours. Furthermore, you went into premature labor, and your postpartum recovery didn’t go well—all of this explains why your body might be too weak for you to conceive a child again,” the doctor continued.
