novelxo Chapter 224
Chapter 224 "If you still want this baby, you cannot be intimate anymore. It's advisable to be hospitalized to prevent miscarriage." The doctor held the reports and said objectively, "If you don't want it, I recommend you to perform surgery immediately. The longer you drag it, the worse your health will be."
"Does being intimate have such severe consequences?" Melanie asked. Although she could refuse to be intimate with Nathaniel, she could not refuse Frank. Even if she rejected him once or twice, it was impossible to keep doing so.
This meant that she could do nothing for the next ten months except lie down on the bed to protect the baby until it was born. What about after that? She would end up a mediocre housewife who would be busy around her husband and children her whole life.
She knew that Nathaniel could not give her a wealthy lady's life. She wanted to change her fate. However, it was a crucial time, and she was determined to win the year-end competition. Her popularity would inevitably soar after winning the award. With further hielp from Frank and the judges, she would have a bright future. However...
If she spent time on the hospital bed and the growing baby in her instead...
Melanie felt scared when she thought of such a life! "You already had warning signs of miscarriage. Do you think this is not serious enough?" The doctor raised his eyebrows and said in a severe tone. "Youngsters these days don't know how to take care of themselves. Don't you know pregnancy is precarious in the early trimester? It is best to avoid having s*x at this time. Even if you do, you should be very careful." The doctor looked at her solemnly.
Melanie's face reddened at the doctor's words. It was embarrassing to be pointed out on matters like this, even though the person was a doctor.
"If I don't want this baby, how long will the operation take? Do I need to be hospitalized?" Melanie asked after some thought.
The doctor tried to hold back but still asked, "Just so you can have s*x?"
It was tough for him to understand. Was it that difficult to bear it for a few months for the sake of the baby?
"No, I have my reasons," she denied it immediately.
"If I'm not mistaken, I can take some oral medicine to abort the baby. Am I right, doctor? Will I be able to leave on the same day? Do you have painless medicine? How long will it take to recover alter the abortion?"
The doctor's expression worsened, and his tone was no longer gentle. "There are indeed two kinds of abortion, medicine and surgery. However, your current situation is no longer suitable for medicine. If you want to do the surgery, you will need to wait two more days. Whether you can leave on the same day depends on your recovery. You need to know that all surgery carries risks and surgery for abortion will inevitably cause harm to women's bodies."
"Your uterus might suffer damage, affecting your future pregnancy. Are you certain you would
like to go through with the surgery?" Although the doctor's tone was unfriendly, he still responsibly explained the risks to her. Melanie clenched her fingers and touched her stomach. She felt some slight throbbing pain. Although her belly had yet to bulge, and she had never felt any movement, she still had some feelings toward the baby. After all, it had stayed in her womb for several months.
However, she was unwilling to keep the baby when she thought of the sacrifices she had to make.
"How about this? Go home and think this through. You can decide after that, but we do not recommend abortion is possible. After all, this is a small life! Why don't you discuss it with your partner?" The doctor advised her.
Melanie thought of Nathaniel when the doctor mentioned her partner. Suddenly, she decided, "No, I want to do the surgery. Please arrange it for me!"
