Edwin figured it out immediately. He quickly grabbed the blanket from behind him and draped it around Clara. His voice was gentle and soothing. "Don't worry. The baby will be just fine. Don't think about anything right now. I'm here for you, okay?"

Hearing this, Clara nodded vigorously. "No problem, write the prescription now, please."

The doctor patted her arm reassuringly. "Don't be nervous. Bleeding is normal and it doesn't mean you're going to miscarry because you did before. Try to relax. It's better for the baby." "Alright, I got it. Thank you."
