No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 521

“Not yet. He’s just coming over to help me, but these things should have been his. I also want to make time to spend more with Clara.”

“Alright, I’ll come over first thing tomorrow.”

“How’s the kid doing lately?”

As fathers, they had a unique empathy for the life and death situations of their children that others might not understand. Anders sighed, “Yesterday, the doctor performed a fetal heart rate monitoring on Elle. If there’s a problem, they’ll know immediately. If things go well, she could make it to 32 weeks.”

Normally, babies are born after 37 weeks of pregnancy. Babies born at 32 weeks need to be placed in an incubator, and their chances of survival are lower.

Moreover, Elle was carrying twins. If she couldn’t make it to delivery, it meant that the baby with problems definitely couldn’t be saved, while the other, being premature, also had a very low chance of survival.

Hearing this, Ian pursed his lips. “I know the best pediatrician. When the time comes, I’ll have her take care of it. With today’s medical technology, there won’t be any issues.”

Anders gave a wry smile. “I hope so. I’ve got to go. Elle is calling me.” He immediately hung up and ran into the bedroom.

Elle was staring anxiously at the fetal heart rate monitor, and her eyes were red with worry. “Anders, the baby’s heartbeat seems to be getting weaker again. Look, that line is almost flat.”

Anders glanced at the monitor and wrapped Elle in his arms, soothing her, “It’s okay. The doctor said his heartbeat is just very weak. This value is within the normal range, so don’t worry. Ian mentioned he knows a pediatrician, and they won’t let anything happen to our baby.”
