Chapter 991 It Was Likely That Her Child Would B e Deformed

"Dad, Mom, Sister, why are you so early?" Leia knew that Queenie had invited Bianca over. Although she was unhappy about it, she did not show it. She had to behave with poise in front of the Hiltons.

Brody greeted them, "Uncle Jack and Aunt Queenie, good afternoon."

Jack saw the two but did not see the rest of the Hilton family. He put away his smile and turned serious. He handed Bianca's phone back to her.

"Good afternoon." After greeting them back, Queenie glanced at Jack, stood up, and took Leia's hand. "How did the check-up go?"

Leia paused, and her face quickly turned pale.

Upon seeing this, Queenie was concerned and asked,' What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Leia shook her head, returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Mom, I'm just messing with you. The check-up went well, there's no problem."

"Cheeky! You're going to be a mother but you're still so naughty. Sit down." Queenie nodded at her and pulled the chair out for Leia.

Leia smiled and felt inexplicably guilty.

She had gone to the hospital for a Down's screening and color Doppler ultrasound. The results were not ideal. The doctor told her that it was likely that her child would be deformed.

Brody happened to be buying water for her when she got the report, so he did not know about it. The doctor also said that it was highly probable that the deformity was caused by the ineffective abortion pill.

The doctor advised her to go for further examinations. If the child had a problem, he told her that she would have to immediately go for induced labor to avoid giving birth to a deformed baby.

Leia asked the doctor to keep it a secret. The doctor agreed on the basis of doctor-patient confidentiality, but he repeatedly urged her to take the follow-up steps.

Brody helped her sit on the chair and said proudly," The doctor said that our child is healthy. In a few months, I'll have a son as great as me!"

Leia smiled as she touched her belly. When she saw how excited Brody looked, she decided to give birth to the child!

The Hilton family only agreed to have lunch because she was pregnant. If she aborted the baby, what leverage would she have to compete with Bianca?

Leia knew how important this baby was, so she would never give it up.

Queenie sat down and was in a good mood when she heard that Leia's baby was healthy. Leia would move in with Brody in two days. This lunch with the Hilton family was to discuss the wedding.
