Chapter: 870
The thought of surgery made Ariana instinctively feel a bit scared. She unconsciously shrunk her neck, pursing her lips in
silence.
Sensing her unease, Theodore gently placed a reassuring hand on her back and comforted, “Don’t worry, I’ll be with you every
step of the way. Let’s get this done sooner to avoid prolonging the anxiety and risking any harm to your health.”
Ariana thought over his words and came to realize that it was indeed better for both her and the babies’ wellbeing.
But she still had some reservations. “Alright, but I’m still a bit worried. After all, it’s a surgical procedure-will it really have no
impact on our babies?” Ariana voiced her concerns
Theodore’s heart sank a little, and he pretended to be upset. “Ask the doctor yourself if you don’t believe me.”
He put on a stern face and handed her his phone.
His act was apparently convincing as she clung to his arm and said, “I don’t doubt you, I’m just a little nervous.”
After a moment, Ariana remembered a vital point and expressed her concern to Theodore, “During my previous check-up, the
doctor mentioned that one of the twins is more delicate. So I’m concerned the surgery might not be good for the babies.”
Theodore was already aware of this through his own doctor but hadn’t brought it up since they were going to induce Labor
anyway. However, he hadn’t expected Ariana to find out earlier than him.
“The doctor detected it during the previous check-up. According to him, with the current level of medical technology and a
considerable amount of delicate care, the issue can be resolved. At most, one of the twins might be born a bit weaker,” Theodore
explained softly as he gently ran his hand over Ariana’s hair. He silently scolded himself for becoming better at lying.
Theodore’s words brought a wave of relief over Ariana. She nestled in his embrace and softly murmured, “I will be a good mother
and take good care of our babies.”
“Rest early, take good care of your health, and be in the best condition for the tomorrow’s surgery,” Theodore responded
tenderly.
Ariana drowsily nodded in agreement.
After accompanying her back to their room, Theodore was about to leave after tucking her in when she caught his hand and
asked, “Aren’t you resting too?”
“I have some matters to attend to. I’ll be in the study,” Theodore replied, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead before heading to
the study on his own.
However, once he settled in the study, Theodore found himself just sitting at the desk, lost in a daze.
Staring at the pristine desk before him, he couldn’t help but recall the doctor’s words from earlier today.
“We have a new treatment plan that has a reasonable chance of saving both the children and the mother.”
“What’s the success rate?”
“Fifty percent.” The doctor’s words were solemn.
Fifty percent
Despite knowing how much Ariana desired the children, Theodore was unwilling to take any risks. Ultimately, he made the
difficult decision to proceed with the abortion.
Theodore wrestled with his inner turmoil and pain.
He was willing to shoulder all the pain and remorse himself.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Ariana couldn’t sleep peacefully. A nightmare jolted her awake, and she noticed the first Light of
dawn outside.
