Regretting the Wife He Threw Away

Chapter 261

That day, Gwendolyn, Carney, and James accompanied Briony to the hospital.

Screening for abnormalities with twins is much more complicated than with a single pregnancy.

It took a full half hour before the ultrasound was finished.

"All done. Here's the report-please show it to Dr. Warren," the technician said.

"Thank you," Briony replied, taking the printout and stepping out of the room. The moment she emerged, the three waiting outside hurried to meet her. Gwendolyn was the first to speak. "Bryn, what did the doctor say?"

Briony shook her head. "She didn't say much, just told me to let Dr. Warren take a look."

"Let's not wait-let's see Dr. Warren right away," Carney said, already moving down the hall.

The four of them made their way to Dr. Warren's office and handed over the

report.

Dr. Warren scanned the results, then smiled reassuringly. "From what I see here, both babies are developing perfectly."

Briony finally felt the tension in her body slip away.

"That's wonderful!" Gwendolyn pressed a hand to her chest in relief. "As long as the babies are healthy, that's all that matters."

Carney turned to Dr. Warren. "So does this mean we can rule out any effects from that radiation exposure earlier on?"

"This is the major anomaly scan," Dr. Warren explained. "It mainly checks the babies' basic physiological structures the organs, brain, and face. There will be a more detailed scan later in the third trimester, around thirty to thirty-two weeks, to look for things that might show up later, like congenital heart defects or certain neurological issues."

As Dr. Warren spoke, the little bubble of relief they'd just felt seemed to burst.

"So, what you're saying is..." Briony rested a protective hand on her belly. "A clear scan today doesn't mean there's absolutely no risk of birth defects?"

Dr. Warren nodded. "That's correct. But so far, everything looks great."
