The nurse glanced at her without answering. Instead, she said, "The professor is looking for you. You may go in and ask him about it."
Later, she went into the room.
"This..." Yvonne bit her lip.
Sam patted her shoulder. "Go on."
Yvonne bit her lip and hummed while stepping foot into the room.
"Doctor!" Upon stepping in, she called the doctor who was in the room.
The doctor raised his head. “Are you Yvonne Frey?"
"Yes." Yvonne walked over and sat opposite him.
The doctor picked up a report from the table and showed it to her. "Here are your results. Have a look first."
Yvonne stared at the black and white paper in front of her but didn't reach out to grab it.
She was scared, afraid that the result would turn out a s her conception.
"Why don't you take a look?" the doctor frowned and asked upon seeing that Yvonne stayed still.
Yvonne swallowed her saliva. "Um...I don't want to look at it, Doctor. Just tell me directly if there are any problems."
She really didn't have the audacity to see it herself.
"Alright, since you said so." The doctor took the report back. He flipped it twice and said, "We performed a full body health checkup on you. Everything's fine with your heart and liver except for your kidney. They're a little weak and we have a preliminary suspect of kidney failure."
Yvonne felt as if something in her mind exploded, making her whole world go dark.
It turned out to be true that she had inherited the kidney failure disease.
Moreover, she had passed the incubation period and was suffering now.
"Why? Why now?" Yvonne had a mental breakdown and her face was pale.
The doctor didn't show sympathy or feel pity after seeing her this way because he had encountered so many patient breakdowns before this and was numb t o them.
"Miss Frey, I know that the result strikes you hard. I hope you'll seek immediate medical treatment and get more time to search for a compatible kidney as your blood type is unique. I hope that you'll consider it properly," the doctor said. Yvonne's eyes were red and tears kept rolling down her cheeks. "Doctor, does that mean that I have to abort the child in my stomach if I opt for treatment now?" "Yes, because you'll have to consume a lot of drugs during the treatment. That's why you can't keep the baby. Even if you keep it, the baby will either die or have deformities," the doctor replied.
Yvonne's body trembled heavily and she nearly fainted.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to toss out the dizziness in her head. Then, she stood up and held her stomach. "No, I can't get rid of it. It’s not easy to get pregnant. How can I abort it?"
"You can't accept treatment if you don't abort it!" The doctor's face became sullen.
Yvonne shook her head and tears poured out of her eyes. "Then I won’t go for treatment, alright? I just want to give birth to the child."
"With your current physical situation and the deterioration rate of your kidney, you might not be able to give birth to a child at full term. Even if you're able to, can you guarantee that your child will not inherit the illness?" the doctor asked her.
Yvonne froze. Her mouth opened, but she couldn't speak.
The doctor sighed, "I feel you but you can’t have the best of both worlds. I hope that you can come to your senses. Why don't you go home and have a proper consideration? Come back to the hospital once you've figured it out."
After talking to her, the doctor filed the report nicely and handed it over to her.
Yvonne left the room with a blank mind.
Sam had been waiting for her. When he saw her coming out, he immediately asked, "How's the result?"
Yvonne turned her stiff neck and her eyes were empty and scary.
Sam's heart skipped a beat and a bad feeling surged u p. "Don't scare me, Yvonne."
Yvonne still couldn't utter a sound. She turned her head back slowly then lowered her head.
Her hair covered her entire face as she moved and her expression couldn't be seen. It could only be seen through her neck that she looked terrible at the moment.
