"What acquaintance?" Jared asked.
Makenna said with a smile, "A college classmate. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember me. Forget it, Jared. Let's not talk about it. Shall we go to the psychiatry department now?"
Jared didn't overthink. Raising his chin slightly, he agreed.
On the other side, after finishing the call with Makenna, Elias contacted an obstetrics and gynecology department doctor. "The woman that I mentioned to you last time is heading to your department. Be careful. Don't expose."
"Yes, Dr. Lansdale," the doctor answered.
Elias then hung up the phone.
The obstetrics and gynecology department.
Amber arrived at a consulting room with Cole.
"Please wait for me outside, Cole," Amber turned around and said to Cole.
"I'd better go in with you." Cole was worried.
Amber shook her head to refuse. "No, thanks."
Seeing she insist, Cole couldn't do anything but agree helplessly, "All right. I'll wait for you here. If you need any help, call me. I'll go in right away."
"Sure." Amber smiled and entered the room.
The doctor in the consulting room put down the landline phone. Seeing her come in, his eyes twinkled.
"Hi, Ms. Reed. Nice to see you," the doctor greeted Amber with a smile.
Amber sat opposite him in surprise. "Do you still remember me, Doc?"
"Of course. I gave you a checkup last time you came here. I have a good memory."
Amber smiled. "I see."
"Ms. Reed, is there anything wrong with the baby, so you've come to me?" the doctor took the registration form from her.
Amber shook her head. "Not really. I want to abort the baby."
"Abortion?" The doctor was taken aback.
Amber nodded. "Exactly."
The doctor showed a complicated expression. "Are you sure?"
"Of course," Amber answered affirmatively.
The doctor kept silent.
Initially, he had planned to make a lie, such as the fetal abnormality or her health wasn't suitable for being pregnant so that she could agree to have an abortion.
He hadn't expected her to be here for the abortion. It saved him much effort.
"Ms. Reed, since you've made up your mind, I respect your decision. When do you plan to have the abortion? I'll arrange the surgery for you." The doctor looked at her belly.
Amber's hand on her belly tightened a bit. She didn't answer immediately but lowered her head, lost in thought.
The doctor had been studying her expression all the time. Seeing that, he was afraid she would go back on her word and be unwilling to abort the baby.
Hence, the doctor squinted and said calmly, "Ms. Reed, you can't delay it. The longer it's delayed, the baby will grow bigger and the more harmful it'll be for your health. You should make the decision as soon as possible."
"ASAP, then," Amber took a breath, closed her eyes, and answered hoarsely.
In fact, when the doctor asked her about the time, she felt reluctant to the baby, so she couldn't answer his question right away.
However, even if she was unwilling, she must do it heartlessly.
Amber apologized to the baby in her belly and signed the abortion agreement.
Seeing that, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief inwardly, smiling more brightly.
"Ms. Reed, I checked the schedule just now. The latest day that you can take the operation will be two days later, so I scheduled it for you in the afternoon in two days," the doctor took the signed abortion agreement and said in a gentle tone.
"All right. I got it. I'll come back in two days."
"Sure," the doctor answered with a smile.
