“Down’s screening is done at four weeks to twenty weeks of pregnancy, which is a maternal blood test that detects the concentration of alpha-fetoprotein, chorionic gonadotropin and free estriol in the mother’s serum, thereby screening the baby for congenital stupidity and neural tube defects.”
The female doctor pushed up her glasses and looked serious, “Has Miss Bright ever been screened for Down’s syndrome before?”
Amelia Bright shook her head, feeling a little apprehensive.
“Is there something wrong with the baby?”
She had been hiding her pregnancy from others, not many people knew about it except herself, and she hadn’t had time to go to the hospital for tests during this period.
The female doctor pointed to the data on the lab sheet, hesitated for a moment, and said with a straight face.
“Preliminary screening down, this child in your belly may have a neural tube defect.”
For a moment, Amelia Bright suddenly felt a buzzing in her head.
“Usually in your case, we will recommend giving up the child after the results are confirmed, after all, if we force him to be born and let him come to this world, it will be a lifetime of pain for him.”
The doctor’s words echoed in her ears, and Amelia Bright’s face was devoid of any blood.
She couldn’t imagine that her child would have such problems.
“I know this decision is difficult, now it’s just the preliminary results, we will follow up with more detailed screening, just need to give you a mental preparation time before that, if the result is really the worst, you should also be prepared for the worst.”
Amelia Bright was so disoriented that she never listened to a word the doctor said afterwards, and even when Miyagawa sent the doctor out, she was still in a state of confusion and bewilderment.
“I’ll call Farren Austin and have him come over,”
Miyagawa sat on the edge of the bed, a bit of heartache showing in her gaze, “It’s better to talk to him about such things.”
Amelia Bright’s eyes were slightly red and she choked out a sob for a long time, “No, Miyagawa, don’t tell anyone about what you heard today.”
Miyagawa looked stunned, and looked like she wanted to say something, but finally just answered in a low voice.
“Okay.”
“Thank you, I want to be by myself for a while.”
“Okay, I’ll go out and get you something to eat, call me if you need anything.”
Amelia Bright nodded gently, breathlessly.
The doctor’s words just now seemed to have taken away all the strength from her body, and once Miyagawa left, the last trace of energy in her face disappeared without a trace.
Baby, it’s not that mommy doesn’t want you, mommy doesn’t know why things have turned out this way.
It was late afternoon when Farren Austin arrived at the hospital. He hurried to the ward, saw the familiar figure in the bed through the visiting window, and pushed the door open.
Amelia Bright was already asleep, and her face didn’t look too good.
The figure at the head of the bed adjusting the infusion bottle turned around at the sound of the voice, and the moment she saw Farren Austin’s face became a little more serious.
“You’re here.”
Farren Austin frowned slightly, nodded as a response, and asked.
“How is she?”
“The doctor said it’s hypoglycemia with a little fever, but nothing else is wrong.
Farren Austin sighed with relief and sat down at the head of the bed.
“Thank you.”
“No need to be polite, Amelia and I are also friends, she suddenly fainted at the door of IM, I took her to the hospital as a matter of course.”
“Thanks are still necessary, Mr. Miyagi must be busy too, it’s enough to have me here.”
Miyagawa stood for half a day without the slightest intention to leave, Farren Austin’s words were already an obvious expulsion order.
At that, Miyagawa looked pale.
“By the way, if you have time, you should pay more attention to Amelia’s health, it is very dangerous for her to faint in the street like this.”
Farren Austin’s brow was slightly furrowed, seemingly displeased.
No man would write like another man to remind him to take care of Chambers his wife, and Farren Austin is no exception.
Amelia Bright this sleep is very heavy, the doctor prescribed medicine medicine is very moderate, the only side effect is very drowsy after eating, also has a calming effect, mandatory to let her rest.
In the haze, it was as if someone had been holding her hand and saying something, and there was always a rustling in her ears, all of which stirred her up in the dream world.
It was a dream she hadn’t had again for a long time.
She ran out of the bedroom in the midst of the flames, her limbs completely weak, stumbling all the way, but unable to wake her sleeping parents, watching the fire spread.
She used her last strength to drive in the direction of the nearest hilltop tower, but her brakes failed at the top of the hill and she rode halfway up the cliff face.
Someone drove head-on, she subconsciously thought it was Liam Gellar, not waiting to scream, but saw a familiar figure get out of the car and came towards her.
It was Farren Austin.
His olive green uniform was penciled in, his military boots were on the ground, and behind him was a million fires.
“Farren,” she pushed open the car door at once, “Farren, save my mom and dad, save my mom and dad.”
Farren Austin’s face was cold, never before seen indifference.
A woman suddenly came out behind him and took his arm.
“Farren, who’s this.”
“I don’t know.”
“Don’t know what to care about her, let’s go, there are things to do.”
“Captain, let’s go.”
A voice came from the car behind him, it was Danna Keller.
Farren Austin nodded slightly, swept Amelia Bright with a look like a stranger, and turned to leave.
“Farren, it’s me. It’s me. …” She chased after the Jeep, but couldn’t catch up.
As if her throat was blocked and she couldn’t make a sound, she woke up from her sleep with a start, screaming and sitting up in a cold sweat that almost soaked through her entire hospital gown.
“Amelia.”
Her hand was gripped hard, and Farren Austin’s face was full of worry at her bedside, “What’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
Amelia Bright looked stunned, barely able to speak, allowing him to take her into his heartfelt arms.
“It’s all a dream, don’t be afraid.”
Familiar body heat and smell, Farren Austin gently patted her back soothingly.
But she suddenly snapped back to her senses and, not knowing where the strength came from, violently pushed Farren Austin away from her
“You go.”
If only it was all a dream.
Farren Austin did not set up a defense, she was pushed away at once, and now a face of confusion.
“You go, I don’t want to see you.”
“Amelia, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Amelia Bright’s face was pale, and when she saw that he still had a moralistic face, she could no longer restrain herself.
“What are you staying here for? Don’t I have Danna Keller to tell you any problems I have anyway? How many people have you put around me? Who else is there besides Danna Keller?”
Her words resounded, as if she had been greatly humiliated, and tears almost instantly came to her eyes.
