"That's for sure," Dr. Andrew answered without hesitation. "Women who are diagnosed with this disease have an 80% chance of a heart attack during labor! After all, labor itself is already extremely risky. The mental pressure on top of physical pain will maximize the uncertainties in the environment. To have a heart attack in such a situation would multiply the danger of the heart attack to 99%! In fact, to this day, there has not been a single woman with this disease who had an attack during labor and survived. Instead, there were several cases where both the mother and the baby died during labor." 1
Dr. Andrew described the situation as extremely critical, and Julian could feel his hand trembling as h e listened.
His voice was a little dry, "There is no chance of survival up until this day?"
"Yes, not even now," Dr. Andrew confirmed. "Hence,1 it's why we usually advise women who are diagnosed with this disease to avoid labor. If not, it would not only affect the mother's health but also put the child i n an extremely dangerous situation. Mr. Shaw, did you suddenly ask me about this because you know a woman who is diagnosed with this disease? If that's the case, it would be best to advise her not to get pregnant.”
"I understand." Julian lowered his gaze, and he could feel his heart shaking. "Can this disease be diagnosed medically?"
"Latent hereditary heart diseases usually do not show any symptoms before the first heart attack. If the previous three generations all had sudden, unexpected heart attacks, especially those with extremely high risks, then the patient would usually b e diagnosed with this type of latent hereditary heart disease,” Dr. Andrew said.
Julian's pupils shrank.
'Which means..
'Susie is basically medically diagnosed with this type o f disease.’
After ending the call, Julian was devastated.
He had faced countless challenges since birth, but he had never feared them.
Yet, this time, hearing Dr. Andrew's conclusion, he really felt scared.
'If an attack occurs during labor, the death rate is 99%!'
He could not let Susie risk herself.
"Julian, have you finished your call?" Suddenly, a cheeky voice spoke behind him.
Julian turned around quickly and saw Susan looking a t him with a smile.
"Susie!" Julian raised his voice, "Why are you here?"
Julian's reaction was a little unexpected. Susan blinked and smiled, "What's wrong? I wanted to give you a surprise. Do you not welcome me?"
"I do." Julian calmed himself down. "The call just now"
"What's wrong with the call? Showing your English off?" Susan looked at him enviously, "I at least passed English level four. I still understood a few phrases, okay?"
"What did you hear?" Julian's body was tense. He did not want Susan to know about the disease yet.
Susan recalled her memories and started listing, "I heard 'doctor,' 'yes,' 'no,' and 'bye-bye.' I understood all of those. Aren't I amazing?"
"...Yes."
Julian silently let out a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as Susie did not understand.
"Why are you so nervous?" Susan glared at him with feigned anger, "Could it be that the doctor was actually a female and you were flirting with her?"
Julian knocked her forehead speechlessly, "What’s going on in your mind?"
"You're the one behaving strangely," Susan rubbed her forehead and murmured to herself.
Julian looked at Susan's energetic behavior and a bitter taste rose in his mouth.
'Susie... Can you tell me what I should do?
'No, I'd rather you not.
'I’ll make all the difficult decisions for us.
