Chapter 598

"How's it looking?"

In Ryan's clinic, Florence frowned deeply as she stared at the ultrasound monitor.

Ryan moved the ultrasound wand away from her belly and printed out the results. "Everything seems normal for now. Have you had any spotting these past few days?"

Myra stepped forward to answer, "Ms. Sheldon had a bit of brownish discharge once." Ryan explained, "That's generally normal. Some instability can occur after implantation."

But Florence doubted his skills. "Did you mess up during the procedure? Why else would it be unstable inside me? I've had several episodes of pain. How am I supposed to relax? I absolutely cannot lose this baby. You know how hard it was for us to get here!" Ryan, flustered and timid by nature, looked down and tried to reassure her gently, "Really, it's okay. Even women who conceive naturally can experience brown spotting in the first trimester. It's called a threatened miscarriage. Ms. Sheldon, I'll prescribe you some progesterone, and you should rest in bed. That should do it."

"I'll carry to term just like any normal pregnancy, right? If there was an issue with your surgery, I won't let you off the hook."

Florence leaned on Myra to sit up slowly.

Looking into Ms. Sheldon's innocent yet eerie eyes, Ryan remained silent, promising repeatedly, "You don't need to worry too much. Stress isn't good for the baby. The embryo itself is very healthy."

Their conversation, fragmented, drifted through the glass to Sammy's ears outside.

He hadn't caught everything, but his eyes widened in shock. A surgery? Florence said 'it wasn't easy getting this baby'? And Ryan mentioned she wasn't a natural conception?

Sammy was confused, too young to understand the complexities of adult illnesses and pregnancy. What were they talking about? Didn't Florence get pregnant the regular way? Why would there need to be a surgery for her to have this baby? Surgery...

Right! The day he was locked in the hospital, he had snuck in to see his mom, and she too was unconscious on a surgery table!

If his mom had surgery, and Florence too, on the same day, what was the connection? Did it have something to do with the baby in Florence's belly?

Suddenly, Sammy felt there was a huge secret hidden amidst, something very strange. There was definitely something off about Florence's pregnancy!
