Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 253

Izabella was sitting in the waiting area, spacing out as she looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. For the first time, she felt alone and helpless.

When someone called her name, Izabella went over to get her gastroscopy report. It looked pretty normal to her.

"If you don't understand, ask your doctor."

Izabella said "thanks" and went to her doctor with the gastroscopy report, asking him to help her check her stomach condition.

While waiting, she was unavoidably scared, fearing that she might have caught some incurable disease by accident.

The doctor looked through the report carefully, "All the indicators are fairly normal, but your stomach..." he paused for a moment.

Izabella's heart immediately jumped, "What's wrong with my stomach?"

Her biggest concern was her stomach, as it hurt like hell every day.

"You have stomach ulcer, have you ever vomited blood? Apart from that, you have a history of gastrointestinal bleeding."

"I know," Izabella asked, "So apart from these, there are no other major problems, right?"

The doctor's expression became serious, "Well, these are not small issues. If you don't get them treated, they could develop into stomach cancer."

Upon hearing the words "stomach cancer," Izabella's fingertips couldn't help but shrink. That strong sense of déjà vu was haunting her again.

"As for your brain, you've been diagnosed with neurasthenia. Don't be too nervous, just get some rest."

Izabella nodded, taking the medical report. The doctor saw her standing there, not leaving. After hesitating, he carefully asked, "Do you want me to prescribe some medicine for you?"

Izabella came back to her senses, "No need, I have some at home." With more medication, she might as well not eat at all.

The doctor gave her some precautions and told her not to think too much before she left the room with her report.

Unbeknownst to her, the doctor wiped cold sweat from his face with a tissue after she left.

Izabella didn't go home right away. She sat in the hospital corridor, staring at the report in her hand while Janet's words kept replaying in her head.

She felt extremely uneasy, and her stomach started to hurt again.

Izabella folded the report and put it in her bag. Looking up at the sign, her scattered gaze finally stopped at the 'Gynecology and Obstetrics' section.

Her phone, which was in her bag, rang at that moment. She found the phone and quickly answered when she saw it was Brett calling.

"Hello?"

"Honey, I heard from Tiara that you went out without eating lunch?"

Izabella simply replied with a "yeah."

Brett asked again on the phone, "Where are you? Have you had breakfast yet?"

Since Izabella had already completed her medical checkup, she didn't plan to hide it from Brett. As soon as he asked, she told him, "I'm at the hospital."

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"Nothing, just doing a check-up."

Brett let out a sigh of relief, "If you're not feeling well, you can call our family doctor, Stevenson."

"I know."

"Have you eaten yet?"

Izabella immediately replied, "I'm going to eat right now."

She went to get breakfast after hanging up the call. There were quite a few early-morning restaurants around the hospital. Izabella chose a oatmeal place, ate half a bowl, then glanced at the hospital and checked her phone. It was only 10 AM. For some reason, she went back inside and registered at the Gynecology and Obstetrics department. And she decided to get an ovulation shot.

Ovulation shots had many side effects, such as abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, etc., but no major harm. They mainly increased the chances of pregnancy.

Izabella took a car back to the villa. As soon as she got home, she locked herself in the bathroom and vomited. She threw up all the porridge she'd eaten in the morning, thinking it was all her own fault.

Izabella didn't understand why she was acting this way, as if her body was being driven by some force. She had taken an ovulation shot subconsciously and checked her head and stomach.

All of this stemmed from the words of a seemingly insignificant woman, as if she was trying to prove something.

Izabella opened the second drawer of her bedside table, and fell into deep thought as she looked at the items inside. Brett had said that they couldn't have children because of him, but he always took contraceptive measures.

Although she found it strange, Izabella didn't ask any further, in case she unwittingly hurt his self-esteem.

Izabella borrowed a needle from Tiara, sensing that Brett was keeping something from her. Since he wouldn't tell her, she decided to find out the truth by herself, believing that she would eventually find the answer she wanted.

At four in the afternoon, Brett sent her a text message saying that he would be working late, and she didn't need to prepare dinner for him.

Izabella replied with a simple "OK."

With Brett not at home, Izabella had no mood to go out for a walk after dinner. After sitting on the couch for a while to digest her food, she went back to the bedroom to wash up.

She lay in bed waiting until she heard the sound of car engine coming from outside at 9 PM.
