“The three babies are doing well right now, and there’s nothing wrong with them. I’m reluctant to have a pregnancy reduction, and so are they.
“Jay, I wouldn’t joke with my life. If my body can’t take it or if there’s something else that’s wrong with the babies, I’ll take the doctor’s best advice. But right now, I want to give myself and the babies a chance!”
Grace spoke word by word, but her soft voice was unusually firm.
Jason could only feel his palm burning. ‘The three babies are growing in her belly. They’re… our children!’
He did not care about the babies, but he had some expectations for the unborn babies because Grace was their mother. However, these expectations were small compared to her safety.
From last night to this morning, she had repeatedly expressed to him that she did not want a pregnancy reduction.
If anything happened to her, then he…
Jason’s eyes were deep. “Have you thought it through?”
“I’ve made up my mind,” said Grace.
“You won’t regret whatever the final result is?” he asked.
She replied, “Yes, I won’t!”
Jason pressed his thin lips together. Moments later, he looked at the panel of doctors. “If we don’t get the pregnancy reduction and insist on keeping the babies, what’s the chance of the mother and babies being safe?”
“50%,” the panel answered.
Jason pressed his lips tighter. ‘Not… even a 60% pa**ing score.’
He never wanted to do anything he was not sure of, but now…
“Then keep the babies first. If something dangerous comes up while we try to keep them safe, then… save the mother first no matter what!”
“But…” Grace wanted to say more but was interrupted by Jason.
“Grace, this is my bottom line. If you’re not even willing to agree to this, then I would rather you hate me forever!” he said coldly.
Grace understood what he meant. In other words, if she disagreed, he would probably do anything to tie her to the operating table.
“Got it.” She finally gave in. After all, what mattered most was to get him to keep the babies.
Next, the panel talked to Grace and Jason about the plan to save the babies.
Grace listened carefully and asked questions from time to time while Jason kept his eyes on Grace most of the time.
Once they finished talking to the panel, the doctors left the conference room one after another. Grace turned her head to find
Jason looking at her.
The way those beautiful peach blossom eyes looked at her was not cold, but also not gentle and charming. There was… endless depth as if he was deeply imprinting her into his eyes and his heart. It was like she was the only person in the world whom he cared about…
‘What am I thinking?’ Grace scolded herself in her heart that she was overthinking. ‘How could his feelings for me ever be the same?’
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Nothing.” He smiled faintly and looked away. “Come on, aren’t you going to the hospital to see Lina?”
“Yes,” responded Grace. She got up and headed to the door of the conference room, only to find after a few steps that he was not following her.
She turned to look at him but found him standing a few feet away from her, looking at her with the same deep gaze as before. Suddenly, a seemingly self-mocking smile slowly appeared on his lips. He lifted his steps and approached her.
For a split second, Grace felt as if her heart had been hit hard by something.
Until the car arrived at the hospital’s entrance, the way Jason looked at her and the way he smiled kept recurring to her. She somehow had an aching feeling in her heart.
There was already a staff member waiting for them at the hospital. Jason said, “The staff will take you to Lina’s ward. I’m not going upstairs with you. Call the driver when you’re done, and the driver will come and pick you up.”
“Okay,” answered Grace as she followed the staff to her best friend’s ward.
Jason sat in the car and watched Grace’s receding figure.
Little did she know that it was not just her life at stake this time, but also his.
He lived if she lived.
If anything happened to her, he would stay with her. Since she wanted to gamble, then he would gamble his future with her!
Grace arrived at Lina’s ward, which was also an ICU ward. However, it was relatively separate, and there was a room next to the ward where family members could spend the night.
One could say that the environment and conditions here were much better than the previous hospital.
Mr. Sweeney and Mrs. Sweeney thanked Grace repeatedly when they saw her.
“Uncle and Aunt, you don’t have to thank me like this. Lina sacrificed so much for me back then. I’m just doing what I should,” said Grace, concerned about her best friend’s condition.
“What did the doctor say? Did they say when Lina would be out of danger?”
“They didn’t say when she would be out of danger. It might take some time, but they said they will consult with the best doctors in the country and abroad. There are likely to be better treatments. Besides… we have a much wider selection of drugs now,” Mr. Sweeney said gratefully.
After all, they were financially restricted, so even though they wanted to save their daughter, they could not afford to use expensive medicines.
However, the hospital now told them that they could give their daughter the most expensive drugs, all of which would be paid for by Jason.
They naturally understood that Jason would pay for it because of
Grace.
“That’s good,” said Grace as she looked through the clear gla** window at her best friend lying in the ICU bed.
