Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

Chapter 585

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

During this time, Frank was constantly by Ava's side, rarely leaving her alone. At night, while waiting for her to fall asleep, he would send messages to Grace, seeking help with handling some company matters.

Tomorrow is the start of school, and before that, Frank planned to take the little girl for a comprehensive check-up at the medical center.

Bright and early, Frank accompanied Ava to the medical center, where they initiated a series of examinations, including blood tests, urine analysis, and an ultrasound.

As Frank perused the extensive list of tests, his brow furrowed in concern, examining each item meticulously. It wasn't until Ava underwent the blood draw that his expression turned grim. With each tube of blood drawn from the young girl's arm and deposited into the nurse's collection box, Frank's face darkened. He looked pained, his heart aching for Ava as he witnessed her discomfort during the procedure.

"Are all of these necessary? Are you sure they're all useful?" Frank blurted out subconsciously.

The nurse, taken aback by the query, instinctively glanced up. Was this person joking? Why would they draw blood if it wasn't necessary, for a keepsake perhaps? However, upholding the medical center's professional decorum, she politely responded, "All these tests are required. Each tube contains samples for different specific examinations." With that explanation, Frank found himself at a loss for further words. Gently pressing the cotton onto Ava's arm, he helped her up from the seat. Before leaving, he stole one last glance at the five tubes of blood belonging to the young girl, neatly arranged in the box.

Ava observed the furrowed brows of the man around her, feeling quite concerned. "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, | don't feel a thing," she reassured him, her worry evident.

Frank remained silent, pressing his lips together, guiding her to proceed with the other tests.

They arrived at the entrance of the ultrasound room.

Both stood there, awaiting the doctor's call from within. Ava, wearing a mask, held Frank's hand, feeling the perspiration in her palm. She hoped fervently that there wouldn't be any issues with the child. She was overly anxious, hoping to avoid any unforeseen complications. Sensing her tension, Frank noticed, gently squeezing her neck and softly rubbing it to comfort her.
