Soon, a clear image of the uterine cavity appeared on the small screen of the handheld scanner.
The doctor hurriedly pulled down Jessica’s pajamas, fearing Wyatt would hit him if there were any delays. He showed the device to Jeremy and said, “She is pregnant, but she doesn’t seem to be doing well.”
After taking a glance at the screen, Jeremy looked at Wyatt. “When was her last period?”
“I’m not sure. She ate too little, so she didn’t seem to have her period.” Wyatt massaged his temples, unable to accept that Jessica was pregnant. The news of her pregnancy baffled him.
That was especially the case after seeing her pale-looking face and thin body. How can she possibly conceive a child?
At that moment, he regretted how cruelly he had treated Jessica.
“I’m speechless.” Jeremy shook his head and sighed.
Peter roughly calculated the period of Jessica’s pregnancy based on the last time Wyatt and Jessica were intimate. Slowly, his expression turned grim. “The yolk sac and fetal pole appeared too early, and—”
Wyatt started to panic. “Is she okay?”
“She’s fine, just malnourished,” Jeremy replied. Then, he added, “However, we could barely see the fetal pole, which is a problem. It means that there’s something wrong with the baby.”
Wyatt couldn’t understand Jeremy, but his heart ached as soon as he heard something was wrong with the baby.
He had trapped Jessica here, wanting to take revenge on her, but didn’t expect she would actually get pregnant.
Having already lost two children, Wyatt didn’t want to lose another one.
“Jeremy, I know you and your friend are capable.” Wyatt patted Jeremy on his shoulder and said solemnly, “Please take good care of her and the baby.”
Jeremy slapped his hand away and retorted petulantly, “It’s useless asking a favor from me. I’m a scientific researcher, not a gynecologist! Besides, it doesn’t have a fetal pole. It’s practically dead.”
“Well, let’s not be so negative.” Peter expressed his professionalism. “We can’t see the fetal pole, but it doesn’t mean it’s non-existent. Take good care of her, and you’ll probably see it through an ultrasound at the hospital later.”
Wyatt’s gaze immediately turned to the doctor, and his expression was no longer fierce. “I’m counting on you to take care of them. Feel free to let me know whatever you want.”
In response, Jeremy sneered. “He’s not a materialistic person!”
However, he was proven wrong by his doctor friend in the next second. “Don’t worry, Mr. Lopez. Just leave everything to me! I’ll be sure to ask someone to send the best medicine here. Well, our research center is short of funds for a new medicine’s research—”
Wyatt said, “Send me your bank account details. I’ll fund you through my personal account.”
“Thank you, Mr. Lopez!”
Jeremy was rendered speechless.
Peter was still packing up his things when Jeremy and Wyatt left.
Jeremy spoke as they walked downstairs. “I’ll be going to Yartran to attend the party in two days. Look for Peter if you need anything. He’s better than me at this.”
“Did Curtis ask you to go?” Wyatt suddenly looked gloomy. “To help Jefferson?”
Jeremy sighed. “I’m sure you know the grudge between Curtis and Arnaud. Even though Curtis isn’t fond of Jefferson, if Jefferson loses this time, Arnaud will be in charge of the Terblanc family. Arnaud has a wide network, and if he gains more power now, it’ll be harder to stop him from entering Aploth or deal with him.”
“Isn’t James already there?”
