Chapter 96 Revealing the Truth

After finishing the checkup, Dr. Palmer grinned at Cornelie. “Looks like there’s no major issue with your health. Have you been to the hospital for a checkup?”

Cornelie nodded and motioned for Abigail to speak up.

Abigail, a bit absent–minded, got a nudge from Cornelie and replied in a soft voice, “Yes, I went for a checkup and got an injection, but it didn’t work.”

“Let’s try acupuncture, and I’ll prescribe a few more medicines for you.” Dr. Palmer’s demeanor was gentle.

“Is it really that simple?” Cornelie started to doubt his competence.

Dr. Palmer spoke in a warm tone. “Based on the medical records you provided, there shouldn’t be any major issues with her health. How about having your grandson take a look instead?”

Cornelie’s face immediately contorted, her expression full of disbelief. “There’s absolutely nothing wrong with my grandson! He’s had regular checkups since he was a child, and we know all the results. There’s no way he could have any problems!”

Dr. Palmer just gave a faint smile.

“Go

get the treatment, and from now on, come in every two weeks. No matter what, we need to

make sure you get pregnant!” Cornelie urged Abigail, her tone tinged with disdain.

Under Cornelie’s insistence, Abigail lay on the office examination bed.

As Dr. Palmer prepared to lift Abigail’s clothing, she suddenly placed her hand on his. “Is the acupuncture really necessary? I’m scared of pain.”

“What’s a little pain compared to giving birth later? You won’t be able to stand it then!” Cornelie scolded harshly.

She went on, muttering to herself, “It’s been three years and there’s been no sign of progress. You’re afraid of this and that. I really don’t know why the Grahams took you as a daughter–in–law. Just to cater to your every whim. Three years! Even a speeding bullet would have arrived by now.”

Abigail felt disheartened by her words and could only close her eyes in resignation.
