Chapter 593 Jessica Needs a C-Section
"What about the baby? Will it be affected?" Jessica immediately asked.
Diane patiently explained, "It's hard to say right now, but the baby is already full-term at 37 weeks. If everything goes well, the baby might not need to stay in the incubator. If things are a bit worse, a week in the incubator should be enough."
"I didn't mention it before because the baby wasn't full-term, but now this may be the best option for your safety."
The news came so suddenly, almost without warning, that Jessica found it hard to accept at first.
"What if I don't have a C-section early?" Jessica asked.
Diane looked at her seriously, "I told you when you were pregnant that there is a risk of heavy bleeding during childbirth in the later stages. Now, while your health indicators are still good, we can minimize the risk of bleeding."
"If your health becomes unstable later, it will be hard to say."
At that moment, Gabriel's voice decisively concluded, "We'll follow your advice and prepare for a C-section immediately."
Jessica was about to speak, but Gabriel had already led her outside.
"Honey," he placed his hands on Jessica's shoulders, speaking very seriously, "I know you're worried about the baby, but I'm more worried about you."
"When we decided to keep this baby, you promised me that if there was any danger, you would prioritize yourself and not take any risks."
"I don't want anything to happen to you, so this time, listen to Dr. Nichols, and let's have the C-section early, okay?"
His voice was heavy, each word spoken with great effort.
Jessica knew he was worried.
She hugged him tightly and nodded vigorously, "Honey, I promise you."
Hearing her response, Gabriel suddenly lifted his head, looking over in surprise and excitement.
"Honey, you agreed?"
His voice was trembling uncontrollably.
Jessica cupped his face, her slender fingers gently stroking, and answered seriously, word by word.
"Yes, honey, I agree."
"So, you don't have to worry anymore."
"I know you're very worried. You love both the baby and me, and your priority is keeping us safe. Since that's the case, why would I refuse?"
"I'm sorry, honey, for making you worry."
After Jessica finished speaking, Gabriel's eyes suddenly turned red.
He choked up, and couldn't say anything more, only holding Jessica tightly in his arms.
After a while, he let go and seriously instructed, "I'll go with you to get admitted first, then I'll go home to pack."
"No need, I've worked at this hospital for so long, I'm very familiar with it. I'll handle it myself."
"I don't feel comfortable with you going alone, I'll go with you."
Jessica immediately said, "Tina just got off work, she said she would come to accompany me."
Only then did Gabriel feel at ease, but he insisted, "I'll leave after she arrives."
Then, he waited until Tina was standing next to Jessica, and left before giving a few more detailed instructions.
Jessica looked at his back and joked with Tina, "Doesn't Gabriel seem like a nagging old man?"
"Indeed, but he's also a super enviable old man!"
The two laughed and chatted as Tina linked arms with Jessica and skillfully led her to get admitted.
Before going home, Gabriel went to the ward to see Danielle.
Recently, Jonah had taken Danielle for the second course of a new treatment.
The current effect was still under observation.
Gabriel had wanted to accompany Jonah, but Jonah insisted he stay to take care of Jessica, as she was about to give birth.
"Dad, Jessica is getting admitted soon, she might have the C-section in the next few days."
Upon hearing this, Jonah immediately looked up, his usually stern face finally softening a bit before gradually breaking into a smile.
"That's great news. Jessica has worked so hard for ten months, just waiting for this moment."
"I'm sure not only us; Mom is looking forward to it as well."
Gabriel walked over, holding Danielle's hand, and said a lot more.
"Mom, did you know? Jessica is about to give birth."
"You've always liked girls, right? The baby in Jessica's belly might be your granddaughter."
"If you want to see what your granddaughter looks like and whether she's cute, you need to wake up and open your
Before Gabriel left, Jonah specifically reminded him, "Let me know the exact time, I want to cheer for Jessica too."
"Okay."
As he walked Gabriel to the door, Jonah patted his shoulder heavily and earnestly advised.
"When Gilbert and Freddy were born, you weren't there with Jessica. She went into surgery alone, and no matter the reason, that was your absence and regret for life."
"This time, I don't want you to have any regrets."
"Women risk their lives giving birth. Jessica is willing to have three children for you, you must treat her well. Go back, pack up, and stay with her."
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll be with her this time."
After returning, Gabriel immediately went to the bedroom to pack according to the list.
The first time, when Jessica gave birth to Gilbert and Freddy, he had missed it;
But this time, he was determined to handle everything himself, even though the servants could make it. He wanted to fulfill his duties as a father personally.
Getting admitted was a bit tricky because the maternity ward was almost fully occupied.
And getting a bed for a renowned professor was even harder.
Fortunately, a pregnant woman had just been discharged, so Jessica smoothly got admitted.
However, the bed wouldn't be available until after noon.
Jessica and Tina decided to have a good meal before Jessica gave birth.
This meal was to reward Jessica and provide her with some comfort.
Jessica and Tina linked arms and entered the hospital elevator, then exited through the main door.
The hospital was crowded, with too many people using the elevator and many wearing masks and hats.
So Jessica and Tina didn't notice someone following them.
And he followed them for quite a distance.
Jessica and Tina left the hospital.
At that moment, not far behind, Royce, wearing a hat, answered a call, lowering his voice, "Hello, I found them and I'm following. Should I take action now?"
"Not yet, wait until they're in a less crowded place."
"Got it."
"Alright, remember, you must bring her back today."
"Okay, I will get it done."
Jessica and Tina, on their way to the restaurant, remained oblivious to the impending danger.
