Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 509

After the body check-up, the doctor glanced at Leanna before looking at Aidan and coughed. "Why don't the husband wait outside?"

Displeased, Aidan frowned. "Why?"

"Because we might need some detailed check-ups. You'll be in the way," the doctor replied seriously.

"I'm her husband. What's inconvenient about that?"

Leanna tugged his sleeve. "I think it's better to listen to him. You can wait outside."

After Aidan left reluctantly, her hands clasped tightly on her knees. "I-Is there a problem with the check-up?"

The doctor shook his head. "It's not about that."

She sighed in relief before he added, "I've gone through your previous medical records. You had a miscarriage four years ago, but you haven't been taking care of your health since then. Am I right?"

Leanna was stunned at that. Catching on to what he was about to say, she nodded reflexively.

"We've found out that you were pregnant one year ago too. I bet your doctor must've told you that you struck it lucky to have that baby."

Her throat suddenly felt dry. "Yes… He did say that."

He placed her reports before her. "Unfortunately, you're not pregnant. Your late periods happen because of endocrine disorders due to an unhealthy routine. "

"Does that mean I won't have a baby in the future?" she questioned.

"There's contingency. If you truly want a baby right now, you gotta take good care of yourself. It's just that the chances are slim for you than most people."

Noticing her pallid face, the doctor comforted her, "Don't give up on hope. Though it's not easy to get pregnant, there's still a chance. Besides, there are plenty of dink families out there. Don't push yourself too hard. I asked your husband to wait outside because I respect your choice. You should think of how to relay the message to him."
