Chapter 975

Catelyn stayed in Mason Estate for the whole night, and the next day, when it was time to go to her maternity checkup, Cedrick abandoned all his work and went to the private hospital with her.

"Doctor, how is my baby?"

Catelyn and Cedrick sat in the doctor's consultation office, waiting for the doctor to announce the examination results.

The corners of her mouth raised slightly, and the joy and anticipation could not be concealed in her eyes.

To be frank, she did not expect that she would get pregnant so soon. Nonetheless, she swore to protect Miles and Ollie's new sibling no matter what.

When she was pregnant four years ago, Cedrick was not by her side. Four years later, being able to experience pre-pregnancy and post-pregnancy with him, she had no regrets anymore. However, what made Catelyn feel a little uneasy was that after reading the examination report, the expression on the doctor's face gradually became very serious.

'Is something wrong with my child?" Catelyn asked nervously, and her smile was gone.

The doctor put the examination report on the table, looked up at her, and could not bear to say, "Missus Mason, you better be mentally prepared."

'Mentally prepared?'

Catelyn's voice became more anxious in an instant. "What's the matter? Tell me!"

The doctor sighed longly, pointed to the pictures and statements on the report, and said solemnly, "After examination, we found that it's an ectopic pregnancy, so-"

"Ectopic pregnancy?" interrupted Catelyn, flabbergasted as though struck by lightning.

Cedrick tightened his grasp on her hand under the table.

"Yes. An ectopic pregnancy means that the fertilized egg isn't in the uterine cavity. As the child gradually develops and grows, it'll become more dangerous for the mother. You've been pregnant for more than a month, and if you wait any longer, it'll cause a rupture of the fallopian tubes and even be life-threatening, so we recommend that you remove the child."

"What's this nonsense about?!" screamed Catelyn, staring at the report in front of her in disbelief.

Although her pregnancy reaction was still strong in the past two days, it was a normal phenomenon and did not reach the point of severe vomiting. Taking recuperation, there were no signs of miscarriage, too. 'How could it be an ectopic pregnancy?' Catelyn began to lose her rationality.

"If it's an ectopic pregnancy, there's no way the previous body examination failed to detect it! You're lying to me, aren't you?" Catelyn insisted that the doctor was lying as she could not accept the fact at all.

"I'm a doctor..."

The doctor's pupils shrank suddenly, and from the corner of his eyes, he secretly glanced at Cedrick and then waved his hands in trepidation." Generally, the formation of the gestational sac occurs at the fifth week of gestation. The time when you came for the examination happened to fall within this time, so we failed to detect it. I'm sorry, Missus Mason, this was our mistake."

"No way..." Catelyn felt breathless at the sudden turn of events.

'How could it be an ectopic pregnancy?!'

"Are you sure it's an ectopic pregnancy?" Cedrick pursed his lips tightly and stared at the doctor with grief in his eyes.

Quivering, the doctor hastily nodded. "Yes. We've done several tests, and the results all showed that it was an ectopic pregnancy..."

Catelyn felt like she was falling into a bottomless abyss. She was trembling, and the joy of the pregnancy test was completely gone. She wanted to say something but physically found herself unable to.

All that was left was unbearable despair.

Although grief and sorrow were haunting him, he did not show any trace of being upset on his face except in his hoarse voice as he asked, "What's the solution?"

The doctor gulped and said, "The only option is to remove the child through surgery. The sooner, the better."
