Love’s Change of Heart novel Chapter 855

Chapter 855 I’m Keeping The Baby

The next morning, Leanna woke up as soon as her alarm clock rang.

She turned over and snuggled into Aidan's arms in a daze. "Aren't you going to the company?"

Aidan put away his phone and held her. "No, let's sleep a little longer. I'll accompany you to the hospital when you wake up."

Leanna agreed. She had completely forgotten about this.

She slept for about half an hour afterward, and Aidan was no longer in the bedroom when she woke up.

Leanna sat on the edge of the bed and called out to him a couple of times, but there was no reply.

Then, she went into the washroom to freshen up, and Aidan returned just as she came out.

Leanna asked, "Did you go buy breakfast?"

Aidan nodded as he placed the breakfast on the table. He went and poured warm water for her. "How are you feeling? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

Leanna took a few sips of the water and shook her head. "No, I'm fine."

She felt that her pregnancy this time around was different from the previous two experiences she had.

She wasn't sure if it was because she had gotten used to it or if the medicine she had taken made her feel funny.

Leanna looked at the paper bag on the table after finishing her water and asked, "This doesn't seem like it's from the shop downstairs."

Aidan pulled out a chair for her as he replied, "I drove somewhere else to buy it. You should eat more nutritious food now."

Leanna saw what was inside the boxes as he spoke.

They looked pretty nutritious indeed, for they were all greens.

Aidan was sitting across from her when he said, "They will deliver breakfast every morning from now on. Just let me know what you want to eat in advance."

Leanna was consuming the chicken and vegetable soup before replying, "Why don't you give me the contact information of the person in charge? I can handle it myself."

Aidan was a busy man, and she felt guilty about making him deal with daily chores.

He thought for a moment before answering, "Alright."

Her preferences and appetite were different during pregnancy.

She was better at these after all.

They went to the hospital after finishing their meal.

Jonathan had already taken care of everything in advance, and Leanna began her routine check-up as soon as they arrived.

She felt nervous during the process, but Aidan was there by her side, providing her with a sense of security.

Leanna sat in the corridor, holding his hand, and she thought of the time when she found out she was pregnant in the hospital over a year ago for some reason.

Those memories felt like a distant past now.

So distant that she didn't feel how lonely and confused she was back then when she thought about it now.

She just felt fortunate that she kept the baby.

Meanwhile, Aidan, who used to dislike children and always found himself frustrated in crowded places such as the obstetrics and gynecology department, was patiently accompanying her through examinations without any sign of annoyance.

Leanna turned her head and looked at Aidan beside her with a smile at the thought of that.

On the other hand, Aidan's gaze was fixed on the ward, and he asked when he noticed her gaze, "What's wrong?"

Leanna only smiled. "It's nothing. I just feel happy that you're here with me for the check-up."

Aidan slowly held her hand. "Isn't this what I should do? I'm sorry for not being there for you before. But, I won't let you face anything alone from now on."

Leanna leaned against his shoulder with a gentle smile. She felt nothing but pure happiness at that instant.

...

The doctor said when they were in the consultation room, "First of all, congratulations to both of you. Your wife is indeed pregnant, and the gestational age is 30 days."

However, the doctor looked at Leanna and continued, "But, your uterine lining is very thin based on the reports, so it is difficult for you to be pregnant. Now, I have some understanding of your physical condition. As a doctor, I can only apologize and give you a suggestion. You're not suitable to keep the baby in your condition now, so..."

Leanna immediately said firmly, "I'm keeping the baby!"

The doctor only looked at Aidan, who was frowning slightly and pressing his lips against each other hard.

Then, the doctor adjusted his glasses and looked at the reports again. "You must have a capable doctor by your side helping you, am I right? Otherwise, your chances of being pregnant would be very low."

Leanna nodded. "Yes, I've been taking medicine during this period. I... I want to keep the baby. Giving birth shouldn't be that difficult now that I'm pregnant, right? I will take good care of myself."

The doctor only sighed silently. "In that case, I can only prescribe some medication to help maintain the pregnancy. But, it would be best if your doctor also knows about this and makes appropriate adjustments accordingly. Also..."

"What else?" Aidan asked with his voice low and cold.

The doctor replied, "Even if everything goes smoothly throughout the pregnancy, there is still a risk of heavy bleeding on the day of delivery. That's why I'm advising both of you to consider carefully before making a decision."

Leanna said, "I already did. I want to give birth to this baby no matter what happens. Please prescribe the medication accordingly."

The doctor had nothing else to say after seeing her resolution. "Alright. You are still in the early stages of pregnancy. Come back for a check-up in two weeks."

Then, the doctor reminded her again, "Remember, you must keep a calm state of mind. Avoid getting angry or upset and arguing with people, especially during the first three months as it is the most important period during pregnancy. But, you must continue to remain vigilant at all times even after three months. Come to the hospital immediately if you feel any discomfort."

"Lastly, I advise you to have a C-section when the child is seven or eight months old if you want to reduce the risk. But, it doesn't mean there will be no risk even then. At the very least, it would be safer than natural birth."

Leanna kept looking at Aidan on the way out of the hospital. There were several occasions in which she wanted to say something but ultimately held back.

Aidan noticed her gaze and his tense expression went away a little. He asked, "Are you worried that I won't let you keep the baby?"

Leanna nodded lightly before holding his hand tightly.

Aidan pulled her into his arms, and he sounded somewhat helpless and with a hint of self-blaming. "I won't say such things to you again. Take good care of yourself, and leave the rest to me."

Leanna rested her head in his embrace, and she only replied after a while, "Thank you."

She thanked him for choosing to stand by her and support her in such a difficult situation.

Leanna was well aware that she was putting everything on the line, including her own life.

But, she really had no other choice.

The little guy was still waiting for cord blood for treatment.
