Chapter 275 You're Pregnant with Twins
In a flurry of anxiety, she implored, "Doctor, what's wrong with me? Just tell me, I assure you I can bear it.""Miss," the doctor responded, "from the current indicators, it appears you may have an ectopic pregnancy."Isabella and the doctor's gaze met and held. Initially, she shivered violently, a bitter sensation rapidly filling her mouth. She had watched Sebastian, cradling Lynda in his arms, pass her by without shedding a tear. But now, Isabella found her eyes brimming with unshed tears.Her lips quivered uncontrollably as she echoed, "An ectopic pregnancy?""Yes," the doctor confirmed. "Therefore, an examination is necessary. If a distinct gestational sac and a visible embryo with cardiac activity are present, we can dismiss the possibility. Otherwise..."Exiting the clinic, Isabella bit her lip hard. Her mind was a void, her body feeble, causing her to stumble as she walked. In that moment, she yearned for someone to come to her aid, to stand by her side.But there was no one. She was alone.Isabella was in such a pitiful state that she couldn't help but ponder, when had it all started?Despite Judy and her daughter's bullying, she had been able to endure and retaliate. There was nothing pitiful about her then.It had all begun on that rainy night, hadn't it? From the moment she was humiliated, kneeling before the Cooper family's door begging for money, and subsequently, encountering Sebastian...From then on, dignity and self-respect had ceased to be hers.With all the strength she could muster, Isabella forced a smile. She lifted her gaze, closed her eyes, and drew a deep breath.Then, she gently caressed her belly and whispered, "Baby, be good. Don't frighten Mommy, alright?""Next, Isabella."Upon hearing her name, Isabella inhaled deeply and hastened her steps.Lying on the hospital bed, with the necessary equipment pressed against her abdomen, Isabella's vision blurred. She was consumed with worry about the impending results.She clasped her hands weakly. As the doctor and assistant conversed in technical jargon, cold sweat trickled down her forehead.She was unsure of how much time had elapsed, perhaps ten minutes, maybe half an hour, but to Isabella, it felt like an eternity.Subsequently, Isabella adhered to the doctor's advice and waited outside for the results. Upon receiving the films, she hastily returned to the gynecologist's office.Her ankle felt as if it was burdened by heavy stones.Back in the doctor's office, Isabella was fraught with anxiety. After submitting the examination results, she stiffened, awaiting the doctor's verdict."Miss," the doctor lifted her gaze.In an instant, Isabella sat upright, her eyes blinking rapidly. She held her breath, her chest heaving. "Doctor, how is my...baby?"Her voice wavered with trepidation.To her astonishment, the doctor smiled.Isabella was taken aback.However, she quickly reciprocated the smile, "It's not...an ectopic pregnancy, is it?"Isabella was elated, "Doctor, please tell me, I don't have an ectopic pregnancy, do I?"The doctor, an older woman, smiled warmly, "Even better, congratulations, Miss. You are expecting twins."Isabella's mind whirred, and it felt as if fireworks were detonating in her head.Her eyes widened, and her pupils contracted as she pinched her own leg hard.Ouch! The pain was real!So...it was true!Isabella was so overjoyed that she wanted to leap up. Her heart pounded as if it was about to burst from her chest.Twins? Two babies?This was a dream Isabella had not dared to imagine."The babies are healthy, but when you return home, you must take good care of your pregnancy. Twins are more challenging to carry than a single child." Seeing Isabella's joy, the doctor smiled. "Remember, the first three months are critical, so be cautious, avoid strenuous activity, and abstain from sexual activity."
The oppressive weight in Isabella's chest dissipated, and regardless of the doctor's words, she found herself nodding in agreement, a smile gracing her lips.She even pulled out her phone, diligently recording the doctor's instructions in her notes.Upon leaving the clinic, Isabella didn't immediately depart. Instead, she sought out a tranquil bench and settled down, her attention consumed by the ultrasound report she held in her hands.Her fingers traced the images on the prenatal check-up form with a tender touch. Even though the medical jargon was beyond her comprehension, she knew that the depicted structure was the source of her newfound joy.Twins...A smile played on Isabella's lips, and as she reveled in her happiness, tears welled up in her eyes, clinging to her lashes.Her two well-behaved, sensible little ones... why were they so perfect?Overcome with emotion, Isabella covered her face, tears seeping through her fingers.She found herself caught between laughter and tears, her smile so wide it nearly reached her ears.Isabella was overwhelmed, a mix of ecstasy and excitement bringing her to tears.Was it divine intervention, she wondered, a reward for enduring the torment inflicted by Sebastian and Lynda? Had they sent her another little angel? Isabella's shoulders shook with the force of her laughter and tears, a tumultuous mix of joy and sorrow.A daring thought crossed her mind: once the children were born, could she... take one of the babies?"Isabella?" A familiar voice echoed in her ear, and she instantly recognized its owner.She had let her guard down in her excitement, otherwise, she wouldn't have been caught in such a state by someone she knew.It was inconvenient, much like the present situation.Isabella coughed awkwardly and lowered her head, hastily wiping away the tears of joy and excitement that stained her cheeks, while also attempting to tame her disheveled hair.Just as she was about to lift her head, Marcus dropped to one knee, his hand firmly gripping her wrist.His eyes were tinged with red, his brows furrowed, and through gritted teeth, he growled, "Why are you crying? Did Sebastian bully you again?"Isabella was acutely aware of Marcus' concern for her, but they couldn't return to the way things were.The Cooper family had shown her nothing but cruelty and injustice, but Marcus had once saved her life, a debt of gratitude that Isabella would never forget.So, even though she was currently incapable of repaying him, she couldn't drag Marcus into her chaotic life and cause him more distress.Awkwardly, Isabella extracted her hand from his grip, shifted to the side, and rose to her feet."Isabella..." Marcus straightened up, his gaze filled with anguish as he looked at her, "I'm not a monster, why are you avoiding me like this?"This big fool.Isabella knew that Marcus genuinely cared for her and treated her well.But she had moved on from their relationship, while he remained ensnared in the past.The agony of unrequited love was a feeling Isabella was all too familiar with.She opened her mouth to speak, but quickly changed the subject, "How is your recovery going?"There were certain topics that were no longer appropriate for them to discuss. Whether she avoided him or not, any answer she gave would only complicate matters further.A bitter smile tugged at Marcus' lips, "After I was hospitalized, you never visited me. Do you despise me that much?"People were not devoid of emotions, unlike plants.But all Isabella could muster was, "Marcus, now that I am married and have a child, and you are engaged and getting married, whether I despise you or not is irrelevant. I will forever remember your kindness towards me, and I will repay you within my capabilities. As for anything else..."
