How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 655

"I can't make sense of this. We should see a doctor." She stared helplessly at the report, unfamiliar with the medical jargon.

Elias turned toward her, his voice calm and even. "What report is it? Let me have a look."

Esmeralda, recognizing Elias instantly, furrowed her brow. "You're Elodie's..."

"Elodie's attending physician," Elias finished for her, meeting her gaze as he reached for the papers.

Esmeralda's lips trembled, but in the end, she handed the report to Elias.

Elodie couldn't help but watch anxiously. "So what does it say?"

Elias scanned the pages, then looked up at Elodie, a flicker of surprise in his eyes. "You're eleven weeks pregnant."

Elodie's heart nearly skipped a beat.

Shock washed over her features, mingling with a storm of emotions. For a moment, her mind went completely blank.

Esmeralda was the first to recover. "How is that possible? Is her body even strong enough for this?"

A shadow crossed Elias's usually composed face. "To be honest, with your condition, getting pregnant should have been nearly impossible. The odds were extremely low. That's why this is... unusual."

Elodie's breathing grew ragged as she tried to steady herself. She looked at him in desperation. "And the baby?"
