Chapter 735 Are You Crazy?
"You just need to tell me, besides terminating the pregnancy, is there any other way to save her and the baby? Hurry up and tell me!" William almost shouted.
The doctor thought for a moment and said, "There is another way: intrauterine transfusion. We insert a transfusion tube into the fetus's umbilical cord or placenta to deliver blood directly to the fetus and control her uterine bleeding. It's an emergency measure to protect the fetus's life, usually only used when the fetus is in severe danger. While it can increase the fetus's survival rate, given Mrs. Bennett's current condition, if it fails, the fetus will die from hypoxia, and Mrs. Bennett could lose her life too."
Mia immediately asked, "So, terminating the pregnancy means Ava will be fine, but the baby will be gone. But if we try to save the baby and it fails, both she and the baby could die, right?"
The doctor nodded. "Yes, so our recommendation is to terminate the pregnancy to prioritize Ava's safety."
Although the doctor wanted to prioritize Ava, she had told all the doctors before the surgery that if anything happened to her, they must save her baby.
Now she was unconscious and unable to make decisions, so to be safe, they needed William to decide.
"William!" Mia grabbed his arm fiercely, her nails almost digging into his muscle. "What are you waiting for? Save Ava! Do you even need to think about it? Say something!"
Mia was furious. If she could make the decision, she would immediately have the doctor terminate the pregnancy.
But right now, only William could decide!
They were legally married.
Although Ava was carrying her son's baby, Ava's life was the most important.
Mia was anxious.
William's mind kept echoing Ava's words.
"If my baby dies, I won't live either."
William closed his eyes in pain.
"Mr. Bennett, you need to decide quickly, time is running out, Ava can't wait!" the doctor urged anxiously.
"I choose intrauterine transfusion!"
William opened his eyes and said, "You must save her and the baby!"
Mia was stunned by William's decision.
"William, do you know what you're saying?" Mia asked in disbelief.
"I know." William immediately told the doctor, "Intrauterine transfusion. If my wife were awake, she would choose the same. Please, you must save her and the baby."
William trembled as he signed the waiver agreement.
"We will do our best."
The doctor took the waiver agreement and rushed into the operating room.
William felt dizzy and took several steps back.
He thought silently, 'What am I doing?'
'I love her so much, and this decision can very well mean losing Ava.'
'I should be protecting Ava.'
'But if I choose to terminate the pregnancy, even if Ava is safe, she won't want to live when she wakes up. She will hate me for the rest of her life!'
'She will hate me forever.'
'I promised her to save the baby. I have to keep that promise!'
'Even if I betray everyone else, I won't betray Ava.'
Mia slapped him hard, the sound crisp and the force fierce.
"William, are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? You're risking Ava's life!" Mia yelled in anger.
