Chapter 252 Patricia is Expecting Twins
Martin gathered all his strength to contain the raging fury within him and asked in a deep voice, "Besides this, does she have any other problems?"
ProfessorDr. Patt shook her head, and said, "We haven't found any other issues!. Since ProfessorDr. Watson is expecting twins, she needs to be more careful than with a single pregnancy. My advice is to avoid surgery for now and to work in the clinic instead."
"Twins?"
Martin's heart was a tumult of emotions—sadness, jealousy, melancholy, confusion, helplessness, anger, and loathing—all intertwining within him.
ProfessorDr. Patt nodded andbut then shook her head again,. "It's not certain,; the ultrasound only shows two for now, but there might be more. We'll need to wait until the pregnancy is further along to see."
Bitterness spread throughout his being.
Patricia couldn't describe how she felt, suddenly finding it all so ridiculous and tragic.
Bitterness spread throughout Martin's being.
Five years ago, Patricia had triplets for him.
Five years later, she might again have triplets for another man.
Seeing he wasn't speaking, ProfessorDr. Patt handed him the medicine,. "This is for pregnancy care. Her condition is quite serious. I've given her an IV for today, and from tomorrow, she should take one pill daily. Remember, absolutely no strenuous exercise, don't get tired, so as not to tire and avoid strong emotions. All of these can affect the baby."
Martin clutched the bag of medicine tightly, barely managing to squeeze out three words through clenched teeth, "Got it."
Next, Patricia was moved to a hospital room for observation for a day.
If there was no more bleeding, she could be discharged and rest at home.
Martin followed her to the room, standing by the bed, lost in thought.
Patricia felt as cold as if she were in an ice cellar, holding back her physical discomfort, and spokesaid in a hoarse voice, "Do you think I shouldn't keep the baby?"
Martin's hands clenched suddenly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
God knows how much effort it took to restrain the jealousy boiling in his chest.
He had thought he and Patricia could return to how things were.
But now, faced with this moment, he realized how naive and ridiculous he was.
He loved her.
How could he possibly remain indifferent while watching her carry another man's child?
"If you think it shouldn't be kept, why do you want to keep it?"
His innerhe said, spilling his thoughts spilled out without hesitation.
By the time he realized, it was too late to take themhis words back.
At that moment, Patricia felt a bone-chilling coldness from head to toe, her heart trembling with a dense pain.
"Do you really think theyI shouldn't be keptkeep it?"
Martin detested the children in her womb and answered decisively, "Yes, they shouldn't be kept. They shouldn'tdon't keep it. You should have been keptdone it from the start."
The color drained from Patricia's face, leaving her as pale as a corpse.
Tears uncontrollably spilled over.
Her hands gripped the sheets tightly, her body shaking violently, a thousand words wanting to spill out but stuck in her chest, unable to breathe.
An unprecedented sense of grievance enveloped her.
Feeling her emotional turmoil, Martin suddenly remembered Professor Wang's Dr. Patt's words, and his tone softened unconsciously.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away just now. Don't be angry anymore; the doctor said you can't get angry. It might affect the baby in your belly."
Patricia closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and forced herself to calm down, to avoid any harm to the baby inside her. "Don't worry, I won't pester you. I managed to raise Charles and Fannie on my own, so I can do the same with these children."
Why"Don't worry, I won't pester you. I was ableshe comparing the unborn children to raise Charles and Fannie on my own before, and I can do the same with the child in my belly now."
Comparing the child in her belly to Charles.
? What did that prove?
ItTo Martin, it proved that Hunter had completely replaced him in Patricia's heart.
A chill ran through Martin's body, but he managed to control his anger. "Why not marry Hunter?"
"Why not marry Hunter?"
"What?"
Patricia was startled, thinking she had misheard, and looked incredulously at Martin.
Thinking she hadn't heard him due to his soft voice, Martin repeated, "Why not marry Hunter?"
Patricia's emotions, which she had barely kept in check, surged once again. "You're telling me to marry him?"
"You're telling me to marry him?"
Martin retorted righteously, "Shouldn't you? At this point, isn't that the best way to reduce theyour hurt to you?"
Patricia laughed.
Tears fell in line with her laughter.
"Is it the best way to reduce the hurt to me, or to you?"
He wasWas he that afraid she would cling to him, going so he wanted herfar as to marry Hunter.
That was his wishful thinking.
How eagerly he must want to shake her off!
To actually suggest she marry another man. Hunter? To even suggest a thing!
She could hardly believe that this was the same man who had proposed to her with deep affection just a few days ago.
Martin was perplexed,. "What does this have to do with me?"
WasIt wasn't as if the child was his?
Wasn't he. He was thinking of her well-being?
To , giving her a solution to spare herherself from the lonelinessburden of raising a child on her ownkids alone again.
Hadn't she just been about to go grocery shopping and cook for Hunter?
If they were already this close, why not get married and give the child a complete family?
Holding onto a sliver of hope, Patricia asked, "Do you really want me to marry Hunter?"
Martin's fists tightened, and after a struggle withinwith himself, he finally made a decisive conclusionsaid, "It's the best solution!"."
Although he didn't directly answer Patricia's question, his words gave her the answer she needed.
.Patricia felt her heart shatter completely
. "Fine, if that's what you want, I'll do as you wishexactly that!"."
With that, she took out her phone and called Hunter.
Hunter's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone,. "Patricia, where are you? Why haven't you come back,? yYou..."
Patricia's mind was in disarray; she barely registered Hunter's words before interrupting him,. "Hunter, didn't you propose to meabout your proposal from the other day... I'm now responding to your proposal.Here's my answer. I acceptYes your proposal,. I'll marry you..."."
