Both Sabrina and Minerva were stunned.
Immediately after, Sabrina asked, "You... you got sick? Was it because...you were starving at that time and you didn’t have anything to eat every day that you became anemic and got a kind of blood disorder?"
"Yvonne, is your blood different from before and from your parents' because you got sick and changed your blood?" Mila also asked Mila impatiently.
Yvonne shook her head and smiled faintly. "Mm-hmm. To be precise, I got a type of hematopoietic stem cell transplant and it cured my condition."
Sabrina grabbed Yvonne. "What the hell happened, Yvonne?" Mila exhaled. "I was in a slump abroad at that time, and I was fighting a bunch of children and some homeless people every day for food. As I kept fighting, my belly also gradually got bigger. To be honest, even I, myself, could not guarantee that I could still give birth to my children. Where was I supposed to go and deliver my children? I could not guarantee all that. I was simply thinking at that time, it would be also good for me to die together with my children and have my children keep me accompanied in my belly for just one more day. Perhaps God had seen that I've suffered so much. Perhaps God saw that my belly was truly too big. Suddenly, one day, I was taken home by a couple. That was a couple who were slightly older than me. They looked like they were about thirty -six years old. They didn't have any children, but they had a very good relationship with each other. Both of them were college professors. They were also novelists during their leisure time. They saw that I came from the same country as them and was pregnant, so they pitied me and took me in to be their helper, which was to be their maid. From then on, I had a fixed place to stay, bread to eat, and milk to drink every day. Because the couple and I came from the same country as them, I could even cook for them. In the past, I had no idea how to cook at all when I was at home. It was after I started living with the middle-aged couple that I learned how to cook. My job every day was to clean and tidy the rooms. When I was free, I could just lay in the chair and bathe in the sun. I had lived quite a comfortable life for a period of time."
Sabrina rolled her eyes at Yvonne with annoyance. "Then why didn't you give us a call? Do you know how hard of a time we were having while looking for you?"
Mila shook her head. "I didn't dare to call because I was going to be delivering my children soon, and I was afraid that my parents would worry. I was thinking that after I've delivered my children, I'll make and save some money at the professors’ house, then I would be able to bring my children back to this country. However, just when I was about to be wheeled into the delivery room and was about to give birth, I was diagnosed with a type of rare condition in my gene."
"What kind of condition?" Sabrina asked.
"It was a kind of gene mutating condition. There's only one in a million chance for this condition to occur. It's very rare in this world. Also, I already had this condition since I was born. If I hadn't been pregnant or the children in my belly did not grow to a certain size, my condition never would have become full-blown."
Both Sabrina and Minerva were speechless. At that moment, both of them did not know what to say. Sabrina simply looked at Minerva. Minerva studied medicine. She was the one who knew the depth of the medical field as well as all sorts of tough and complicated medical conditions from all over the world the best.
"There are billions of people in this world. Plenty of people would have some strange conditions that even we as doctors have never seen. How could Vvonne . be so unlucky?" Minerva put Yvonne in her arms. She then cried inconsolably. "Yvonne..."
