Chapter 220

“Alright.”

Sophie followed Dr. Sterling into the examination room. Today’s prenatal checkup was mainly to check if there were any deformities in the batry and whether it was developing normally.

Once Sophie lay down and lifted her top, she suddenly felt a rush of nervousness as she stared at the large screen in front of her.

Dr. Sterling noticed her tension and spoke to comfort her.

“Generally, if there is no hereditary history of diseases in the family, the chances of deformities are very low, so there’s no need to worry too much Just relax.”

Sophie took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

“Let’s begin, it may feel a bit cold, but bear with it.”

As Dr. Sterling spoke, he applied the examination device to Sophie’s belly.

The cold sensation stimulated Sophie’s nerves, but her attention was elsewhere.

She widened her eyes, nervously watching the images on the screen.

She could clearly see the presence of the fetus, and the feeling was surreal.

Just like Sherry had said yesterday, Sophie couldn’t quite believe there was a living person inside her.

The small umbilical cord connected them together, their heartbeats synchronized, their senses in tune.

Sophie slowly relaxed, not wanting her nervousness to affect the baby.

But suddenly, Dr. Sterling’s hands froze, and he kept re–checking the same spot.

Sophie’s heart clenched, and she quickly asked, “Dr. Sterling, is something wrong?”

“The baby’s condition is not good.”

Dr. Sterling withdrew the device, trying to soften the impact.

“I need to do further tests to confirm. Why don’t you contact Marcus and ask him to come over?”

Sophie’s heart dropped, and she closed her eyes, clenching her fist.

“It’s alright, just tell me directly. I can handle it.”

Dr. Sterling hesitated for a moment, then spoke seriously.

“From what I see, there’s a possibility of deformity.”

Sophie’s blood froze. At that moment, she felt as though she had fallen into an ice cavern.

An overwhelming coldness surrounded her, and she shivered uncontrollably.

“If it’s convenient, I’ll take a sample and send it to a more authoritative institution for further testing. The results will be ready in about an hour. Is that okay?”

“Okay.”

Sophie’s voice trembled.

After Dr. Sterling took the sample, he left the examination room, and Sophie slowly eat up, her hands trembling as they rested on her belly.

She tried to sense if the baby was healthy, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t tell.

Was her baby really unhealthy?

Sophie’s mental defenses completely collapsed. She pulled out her phone and dialed Marcus’s number.

At this moment, all she wanted was to hear Marcus’s voice, to ask him what she should do.

The mechanical female voice repeated, “The call could not be completed,” and Sophie dialed again.

She kept calling for an hour, and it wasn’t until Dr. Sterling returned with the test results that she finally put her phone away.

“Dr. Sterling, what’s the result?”

Dr. Sterling handed her the report, his face full of concern.

“Based on the current situation, we suggest you terminate the pregnancy.”

“From the medical images and genetic analysis, the baby has a genetic mutation.”

Sophie’s chest tightened when she saw the report.

Her baby had three hands!

“If I carry the baby to term, would surgery to remove the extra hand be possible?”

Sophie’s voice trembled, grasping at the last bit of hope.

“The extra hand can be surgically removed, but the baby has a genetic mutation. What may appear as just an extra hand now could lead to larger issues with time. His body may develop numerous genetic problems.”

Dr. Sterling’s eyes met Sophie’s, his tone grave.

“Even if the parents decide to keep him, there is a high chance he won’t survive past his first year.”

“Life is already hard enough. To bring a child into the world with so much suffering, only to have him die soon after–it’s pointless.”

Sophie’s chest tightened, and she couldn’t catch her breath. Her small fist clenched as she pounded her chest with force.

“Is there really no other way?”

Dr. Sterling shook his head silently.

“Miss Chandler, given the baby’s size now, you need to make a decision quickly.”

“If the baby grows larger, it could start affecting your health too.”

“You’re still young, and you’ll have a chance to have a healthy child. It would be better to terminate this pregnancy now…”

“Are you forcing her to terminate the pregnancy?”

Sherry burst through the door, running to Sophie’s side.

Chapter 220

“Sophie, don’t be afraid. I’m here now.”

As soon as Sophie saw Sherry, she couldn’t hold back anymore.

Her eyes filled with tears as she found comfort in her friend.

“Sherry, my baby…”

Sherry took her hand and gently comforted her.

“Don’t make any decisions while your emotions are unstable. I’ll take you home first.”

“Miss Shaw, you might not fully understand Miss Chandler’s situation right now. She…”
