Chapter 1. The Baby

Chapter 1: The Baby

“Ms. Forbes, the examination results show that you have a very thin uterine wall, which could possibly lead to miscarriage. You should be more careful in your diet and exercise.”

As she spoke, the doctor continued writing on the white paper, listing the medication Imogen needed. After some time, she handed in the paper. “We have a pharmacy outside. Please take these medicines regularly.”

Imogen took a deep breath, grabbed the paper, and slowly stood up. “I will. Thank you, doctor.”

“You must be careful, okay?”

The doctor’s eyes flashed with worry. Pregnant women with thin uterine walls were more prone to having a miscarriage. The worse was that most women had very low chances of conceiving again after they lost the first child.

“Don’t worry, doctor. I’ll take care of myself. Thanks again,” Imogen replied and smiled. After three years of trying and waiting, the heavens finally heard Imogen‘ s prayers. No one was more eager for the arrival of the baby than her, and she would make sure to protect it with all her might.

After buying the medicine, she left the hospital and went to her car.
