After Adiana finished all the tests, Yasmine waited uneasily. She felt horribly nervous, just like she did during the examinations in her home country. She just wanted to know quickly, and yet she was afraid to know. The contradiction and uneasiness was indescribable.
An hour later, all the results of the examination were out. Yasmine followed her mother- in- law into Adiana's office. Her heart was thumping. Her hand was slick with sweat, and Madam Simons held her hand tightly. In fact, Madam Simons was even more nervous than her daughter-in-law.
As the head of a wealthy and well-known family, she knew better than anyone else how important it was to have a family heir. Saying that it didn't matter was simply to relieve the pressure in her daughter-in-law's heart. However, it wasn't easy to just overlook the fact that her daughter-in-law was infertile.
Of course, Yasmine was well aware of it.
"Adiana, what's the result? Is Yasmine really unable to conceive?"
Madam Simons asked her old friend nervously. She was so worried that her heart was in her throat.
Adiana pointed at the stool on the desk and said, "Sit down first."
Sitting down, they listened carefully to Adiana's analysis. "Judging from the five major tests that we did, Miss Taylor does not suffer from primary infertility, but that doesn't mean that there's no problem with her fertility."
"Ah? What does this mean?"
Madam Simons and Yasmine looked at each other in dismay. This felt like good news, but it did not seem like good news.
"That is to say that the reason for Miss Taylor's infertility is that her uterus did not properly develop. That is to say that your uterus is a little smaller than others at your age."
"Small uterus? But the two hospitals that examined Yasmine back home said that it was primary infertility."
"Maybe they were exaggerating. There is not much hope of curing primary infertility, but it's a different story for an underdeveloped uterus. For patients who have been diagnosed with underdeveloped uterus, other than some congenital development obstacles that are difficult to cure, most patients will benefit from treatment."
"That's too much!"
Madam Simons slapped the table and said, "Those people were bold enough to fool the Simons family. Let's see how I will punish them when I get back!"
"Mila, calm down. Those test results were the two hospital's attempts to shirk responsibility."
"Why?"
"As I said, it has to be determined if the underdeveloped uterus is the result of developmental disorders. If there were developmental disorders, then they were right to categorise her condition as Primary Infertility."
"Does Yasmine have developmental disorders?"
"I'm not sure for the time being. We'll need to wait and see if the treatment works after a period of time."
"How do we treat it?"
"Firstly, we have to treat it to confirm the factors that led to the underdeveloped uterus. Then, we promote the metabolism of the uterus with injection by stimulating ovulation. This is to stimulate the growth of the uterus. After a month, you will have to come back and check. If the uterus is clearly growing, we can eliminate the possibilities of developmental disorders. With medicine, Miss Taylor will be able to conceive after two months."
"Great, great."
When Madam Simons heard that Yasmine had hopes of conceiving a baby, she was in good spirits and she jumped up like a child in the office.
"What if the uterus doesn't grow despite taking the medicine?"
Yasmine's calm words quietened her excited mother- in- law. Yes, she had only thought of the good side and had forgotten about the possible bad side.
"Then we can only prepare for the worst."
"What? The worst?" Madam Simons was anxious. "Even you can't do anything about it? I had put all my hopes on you." "Mila, don't worry. Let's treat her for a month. During this time, I will go all out to help Yasmine recover."
Yasmine looked at Mila and said, "Mom, that's it. I'm happy with these results. Let's do the western medicine treatment and follow Doctor Adiana's arrangements."
"Well, okay."
Madam Simons nodded and she thanked her friend who was about the same age as her. "Adiana, thank you."
Yasmine and Madam Simons stayed in the United States for six days before returning home. Yasmine hid all the medicine that Adiana had prescribed her in a password- protected safe. She feared that Sebastian Simons would discover her secret.
After receiving the news that Yasmine was about to come back, Sebastian was very happy. He went to the airport two hours early and waited for her.
From a distance, Yasmine saw him holding a flower and she walked towards him with a smile. Sebastian stretched his arms and she threw herself into his embrace. They hugged each other tightly, as if they had been separated for more than a year.
"Hey, why does only Yasmine get a bouquet? Where are my flowers?"
Madam Simons knew that her son had brought only one bunch of flowers, but she deliberately made things difficult for him.
Sebastian sulkily took the luggage from his mother's hand and said, "What's wrong? Are you jealous of your daughter-in-law?" "As the saying goes, married men often forget their mother. There is a clear example before my eyes."
Yasmine chuckled and handed the flowers to her mother-in-law. "This is for you. Assume that your son bought it for you."
"No, I won't be so spineless. Hmph."
As soon as Madam Simons raised her head, she led them out of the airport lobby. Yasmine and Sebastian looked at each other and smiled. Helpless, they followed behind her.
