Eudora woke up early in the morning the next day and made a fuss about wanting to eat some special pancakes from a specific shop in the city.
Since Eudora had rarely craved for anything, Amos would never turn down her requests. Therefore, he quickly drove over to the designated shop early in the morning
As soon as Amos left the ward, Eudora got up and quickly went to Doctor Chilton's office.
"Doctor Chilton, may I know the probability of success if I insist on keeping this child?" Eudora asked as she held her belly and stood in front of Doctor Chilton's desk.
Doctor Chilton responded with a sigh, "Your life is already at stake. Are you sure that you still want to keep the child?"
"That's not what I meant!" Eudora shook her head. She continued, "What I mean is, I want you to keep this child alive, even if it means losing me! What are the chances of success then?"
Everyone in the room looked at Eudora in shock.
Helen couldn't help but ask, "Are you out of your mind?"
"I'm not!" Eudora smiled. "I've never been clearer than before. I've thought about everything you've said. Like what you've mentioned, I've been severely poisoned. Even if I terminate my pregnancy now, I may not be able to be saved. However, my child's condition is definitely not as severe as mine. I beg you, please. You don't have to worry about me. Just do your best to protect my child!"
Eudora was right. She might not be able to survive even if she had terminated her pregnancy. However, if they focus their attention on keeping the baby alive instead, the baby's survival rate would be higher.
Doctor Chilton looked at the test results of the examination once more.
"We still have an eighty percent chance of success if we only keep the child. This is because the child is still in the womb and hasn't been affected by the toxin. As long as we try to suppress the toxin and continue to care for the child until the seventh month. At that time, we could take it out..."
After a brief pause, Doctor Chilton said again.
"However, if we proceed in this manner, you won't have any chance of survival at all!"
"It doesn't matter!" Eudora bit her lips, "I've already made up my mind, just do as I say!"
"But..." Doctor Chilton frowned and asked, "What about President Granger? What did he say about this?"
"Don't tell him! If he asks, just say that you came up with a new plan which doesn't require terminating my pregnancy! If you tell him now, you leave me no choice. I'll have to choose to die together with my child!"
She knew that she was Amos' ultimate priority. No matter what she said, he would definitely ask her to terminate her pregnancy.
She had initially resented Amos for being so cruel to her child. However, she heard what he said to the child last night.
If he could, he would choose to keep the baby. It was because of her that led him to want her to terminate her pregnancy.
It would've been fine if she didn't know about it. However, she already knew about his true intention. As a mother, if she clearly knew that she wouldn't have any chance to survive even if the pregnancy was terminated, then why shouldn't she protect this innocent life of hers with her own life?
The future had always been uncertain, and Amos still had a long way to go. She didn't want him to be alone! If he had two children to accompany him, perhaps, life would be less lonely for him.
"I'll bear the consequences myself! Just do whatever you can to save this child."
Doctor Leon and Doctor Chilton were the people who knew Eudora's condition best. They knew deep down that this was, in fact, the best conclusion.
They then nodded their head in agreement.
"We'll do as you say then."
Helen shook her head and tried to persuade them as she stood by the side. "Please don't do that. It's not over yet. Can't we think of any other ways? President Granger will be very sad if you leave him!"
She had witnessed how important Eudora was to Amos, hence she couldn't help but speak for him.
"He'll get through this!" Eudora responded with a smile. "Alright, I should go back now. He should be coming back soon."
As soon as Eudora returned to her room, Amos had indeed returned from his trip in the morning.
However, when he saw that she wasn't in the ward, he panicked and wanted to look for her. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Eudora standing in the corridor.
She smiled at Amos brightly with her hands on her belly.
"Sugar Bun, Daddy's back! Well have breakfast now!"
Amos's anxiety eased in an instant. He quickly walked over and supported Eudora.
