"Miss Sanders, you're still not pregnant.”
The glint of hope in her eyes faded away instantly. Biting down on her lips, Estelle Sanders mumbled," Alright..."
With a pitiful look on his face, the doctor passed her the examination report. "Miss Sanders, how about... giving up? You're overstretching your body and it can’t stand another distress. Even if you were to get pregnant, we can't say for sure that you’ll be able to reach the full-term pregnancy...”
Biting her lips, Estelle was silent as her body turned stone cold.
The doctor was concerned about her. He called out to Estelle, "Miss Sanders, are you feeling all right?"
"I'm fine and I’m listening." Her voice sounded shaky and it seemed that blood had drained her lips, turning it pale-white.
Looking at her, the doctor let out a deep sigh, "You know, if you go through with the chemotherapy now, i t might increase the chances of extending your life."
"That's not necessary. I must get pregnant," As she stood up, she insisted, "Doctor, please give me a shot 0 f the injection to stimulate ovulation. I want to give it another try."
The doctor rejected. "You’ve been taking this injection for the past half a year. This is a stimulant and it'll increase the rate of production of the cancer cells!"
"...It's okay, just prescribe it."
"Miss Sanders, is this really necessary?"
"Please, I'm begging you."
"Sigh..."
Feeling helpless, the doctor passed a slip to her. "Take a left turn on the second floor and get your injection there. The stimulant works best 24 hours after the injection. Hence, make sure you seize the opportunity."
"Thank you." Estelle expressed her gratitude to the doctor after receiving the slip.
It was nine o'clock at night, aside from Estelle, the mansion was empty with no one else around.
Estelle was used to loneliness and emptiness. She did not have the luxury of spending her time mulling over these feelings as her life was on a clock. She did not even have the time to take a breather.
She had to seize every opportunity in a day.
Dialing the familiar string of numbers on her phone. She waited.
Beep
No one picked up the call.
Not giving in, she dialed the number again. She was going to continue calling until he picked up her call.
