Chapter 475 Quarrel, Coldness Back to Back
Gabriel held her tightly.
It wasn't until Jessica finished crying and venting that he spoke, "Honey if you're done, can you listen to me?"
"Okay, go ahead."
Jessica's face was still covered in tears, and she still felt extremely upset.
"Honey, do you remember the ultrasound result from yesterday showing placenta previa?"
Hearing this, Jessica suddenly lifted her head, "Are you saying I have placenta previa with this pregnancy?"
Gabriel nodded worriedly, "Yes."
"You're a doctor, even though you're not an obstetrician, you should know how dangerous this type of placenta can be. I've looked up information and consulted several experts. You had a C-section before, and in the third trimester, it can be very dangerous. Plus, you've had severe bleeding before, and your body is much weaker than the average person."
"I'm sorry, honey. I know you want to keep this baby, but please forgive me. If you're in danger and I have to choose between you and the baby, I must choose you."
"I know you can't bear to, but I can't bear to lose you even more. If you want a baby, we can try again later, okay?"
Gabriel's meaning was clear: they had to give up this baby.
But how could she bear to?
Jessica shook her head, her delicate face full of determination. "No, I want to have this baby. This is our baby. She has been in my belly for so long. I really can't bear to see her leave my body alive."
"Gabriel, I'm begging you. I will be very careful and follow all medical advice. Let's not give her up, okay?"
Jessica cried, tears streaming down her face.
But this time, when it came to her safety, Gabriel stood firm, no matter how much she begged.
"I'm sorry, Jessica. I have to choose you."
"It can only be you, do you understand?"
Gabriel and Jessica couldn't reach an agreement, neither was willing to compromise.
Jessica knew he was thinking of her, but she really couldn't give up this baby.
Because of this, Gabriel and Jessica had their first argument since reuniting.
Not only they, but almost everyone around them noticed.
A few days later, Danielle also found out about this.
Immediately, she went to find Jessica.
"Jessica, I know how you feel, and I know you and Gabriel disagree. Can you listen to me for a moment?" Danielle said.
"Mom, you can say whatever you want."
"I know my role as a mother-in-law. Honestly, I've always liked girls, so I was looking forward to you giving me a granddaughter. I was very happy to know you were pregnant. As for the baby's fate, I have no right to interfere. The final decision is up to you and Gabriel."
"As a mother, I understand you very well. A mother's love is powerful and she'll do anything to protect her child."
"In this regard, I believe Gabriel is the same as you. You love the baby, and he loves the baby too, but he loves you more."
Danielle handed a photo to Jessica and continued, "These are from the five years you were gone. He lived in despair, at his lowest point, like a zombie with no hope for the future."
"You left him once, in a way that felt like death, so he understands the pain of loss even more. He's just too afraid of losing you. That's why he's so scared, afraid of any risk to you."
Danielle's words made Jessica think for a long time.
Knowing they disagreed with the baby, Danielle took on the responsibility of looking after Freddy and Gilbert.
In the evening, Jessica came out after taking a bath.
When she came out of the bathroom, her hair was still dripping with water.
Gabriel was already lying in bed, with his back to her.
At that moment, Jessica's heart suddenly felt a sudden pang in her heart.
In the past, if he saw her with wet hair, he would have already grabbed the hairdryer and come to her.
But today, he was still lying in bed, with no reaction.
Made quite a bit of noise, so he must have heard.
But he pretended not to hear.
Jessica knew he was really angry.
She didn't even have the energy to dry her hair, and just quickly wiped it and climbed into bed.
All she could see was his broad, cold back.
In the past, his embrace was so warm and comforting.
But today, his back was like a wall, tall and cold, separating her from Gabriel.
Looking at him, Jessica felt an even sharper pang in her heart.
After lying down, she kept looking at his back.
But he never turned around, just kept his back to her.
A few minutes later, Jessica couldn't hold back anymore.
She reached out and hugged Gabriel, her voice soft and tender, "Honey, please don't be mad, okay?"
Gabriel didn't answer her, clearly still angry.
"I'm sorry I know you're worried about me. You're afraid of losing me. You're afraid that if I lie on the operating table, I might never..."
Before Jessica could finish, Gabriel suddenly turned around, his large hand covering her lips, "Don't say that."
"As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you."
"Jessica, if anything happens to you, I will never forgive you."
Seeing him turn around, looking worried about her, Jessica immediately smiled.
She grabbed Gabriel's hand, "So, you're not mad at me anymore, right?"
"Don't be too happy. My decision is still the same as before. I won't give you up for anyone. If her existence threatens your life, I can only give her up."
"Jessica, you've left me once. I won't give you any chance to leave again, do you understand?"
Gabriel's eyes suddenly turned red.
Jessica felt a sudden pain in her heart.
Gabriel was so afraid of her leaving that he was so worried, so cautious.
He couldn't bear to be harsh with her, but for her safety, he decided to stand firm.
"I'm sorry, honey." Jessica cried, hugging him tightly.
Her hand fell on his cheek, gently wiping away the hot tears that had just fallen.
Those tears were like burning sparks, not only scorching her hand but also in her heart.
For her safety.
He cried.
Jessica felt extremely heartbroken, burying her head in his chest.
"Honey, let's try. Even if it's just an effort, okay?"
"I don't want to give up on her without any attempt. Although placenta previa is dangerous for me, there's a chance it could move up later. Even if it doesn't, if the baby can make it to seven or eight months, she can still survive after birth.
"I promise you, if the doctor says there's a risk later, I'll follow the medical advice, okay?"
