Chapter 1455

Fortunately, Bernard had just returned home when Eleanor took a tumble in the bathroom

just before her shower. He managed to get her to the hospital in the nick of time, where

she regained consciousness without major complications. However, Bernard’s worry

wouldn’t let up, and he insisted that Dr. Amelia conduct a thorough check-up.

Throughout her pregnancy, Eleanor had only had the most basic prenatal care, without the

regular screenings that were typical. They had no clear picture of her current health

status.

As Dr. Amelia reviewed Eleanor’s medical history, a chill ran down her spine. Eleanor had

been through major surgeries, not just once but multiple times. She even had a heart

transplant, and there were issues with her vision that raised red flags.

Given Eleanor’s condition, a normal delivery seemed out of the question, especially with

the onset of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Dr. Amelia knew that if Eleanor didn’t have

this condition, and if they could find a top-notch doctor to manage her care meticulously,

there might be a chance for a safe delivery. But as things stood, a natural birth was far too

risky.

While Dr. Amelia debated how to break the news to Bernard, a call came in. It was Blake.

Aware of the situation and eager to avoid alarming Bernard, he ordered Dr. Amelia to keep

the couple in the dark until after the baby was born.

Dr. Amelia could tell that Blake had long known about the risks involved in Eleanor’s

delivery. She was exasperated, “Mr. Blake, Eleanor is in a dire state. With her

hypertension, forcing a normal delivery could very well cost her her life.

While Dr. Amelia had the skills to save the baby via C-section, the mother’s survival was

far from guaranteed. Hemorrhage and complications could be deadly. Blake, however,

coldly replied, “She’s over seven months along. Terminating the pregnancy now is just as

risky. Let’s focus on treatment after the birth.”

Dr. Amelia knew that by then, it might be too late, but it was clear Blake cared more about

the great-grandchild than the mother.

Caught between professional ethics and family hierarchy, Dr. Amelia made a decision.

Despite the potential backlash from Blake, her allegiance was to her patient and current

head of the Laurence family, Bernard.

After consulting with a panel of experts, Dr. Amelia presented her findings to Bernard, “Mr.

Laurence, after reviewing the test results and consulting with specialists, it’s clear that

your wife’s condition makes it unsafe for her to give birth.”

Bernard, flipping through the reports, paused and locked eyes with the medical team. His

gaze was icy, his presence intimidating, “What are you saying?”

“Mr. Laurence” Dr. Amelia replied, holding her ground despite the pressure, it means that

childbirth poses a serious risk to her life”

The words hit Bernard like a thunderclap, leaving hum rooted to the spot, a statue in a

After a long cold stare, Bernard crumpled the report in his hand. Before the pregnancy her

doctor said she could have a baby Now you’re telling me shus cant if you’re not up to the

task, get out

Dr. Amelia’s mentor, Keith, had been a renowned authority in gynecology and had

greenlighted the pregnancy. However, knowing the risks and still choosing to aid Blake in

his deception was where Keith failed in his duty

Dr. Amelia didn’t argue her medical competence but gently reminded Bernard, Mr.

Laurence, it’s possible for her to carry to term, but there’s significant risk involved during

delivery My teacher must have mentioned this to you before?”

After Dr. Amelia’s nudge, Bernard quickly pieced things together. His expression turned

stormy, as if the crumpled report in his hand could disintegrate under the force of his

anger
