Chapter 323 - Going Home and Working Hard
The story starts in Chapter 323 of "No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother": Liam listened to these words, utterly confused, feeling like a heavy stone pressed down on... Donât miss it!
Liam listened to these words, utterly confused, feeling like a heavy stone pressed down on his heart, making it hard to breathe, as if he could no longer see sunlight in his life.Beside him, Maya furrowed her brow tightly, swallowing hard.
Maya was well aware of her own health condition, and the doctorâs words were within her expectations, but since returning, she hadnât consistently taken her medication, holding onto a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and said, "Director Parker, since I came back, I havenât been taking my medication much, and itâs been more than a month since I last took it before I started feeling nauseous, so if Iâm pregnant, it shouldnât be a big issue, right!"
"Maya, arenât you being reckless? If you donât take your medication, how will the condition be controlled? It finally became stable, what if it worsens? Even if you havenât taken medicine for over a month, you canât be absolutely sure that the child is unaffected, so you need to prepare for the worst." The doctor looked at Maya, who was eager to keep the baby, with some helplessness.
Then, he continued, "Moreover, can you guarantee that during your pregnancy, you wonât experience any emotional stress or relapse? What if you do? Thatâs concerning two lives."
Maya listened to the doctorâs reminder and smiled at him, saying, "Director Parker, donât worry! Such a thing wonât happen."
Maya hadnât told the doctor that, in fact, she had already had a breakdown a few days ago. She had thought she was almost healed and such a collapse wouldnât happen again. Unexpectedly, a year later, her emotions were easily triggered by Liam.
But she was certain that no matter what happened, she would protect the baby in her womb and not let him get hurt.
The director looked at Mayaâs determined attitude and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Keeping the child might not be a bad thing. Your illness started with the child and perhaps the key to resolving it also lies with the child. If you can deliver safely and healthily, that would be the best outcome."
Behind Maya, Liam listened to their conversation, bewildered. From their discussion, he could clearly sense that Mayaâs illness was severe and had been ongoing for a long time.
He wanted to ask the director about Mayaâs health condition, but seeing them continually discuss the matter of the child prevented him from stepping forward to interrupt.
It was only when Director Parker led Maya to have a prenatal examination that he glanced at Liam and asked, "Third young master, this is..."
Maya looked at Director Parker, who was full of doubt, and smiled, saying, "The father of the child."
"Third young master, a pleasure to meet you! A pleasure to meet you!" Director Parker extended his right hand in greeting to Liam.
Seeing this, Liam responded with a smile, extended his right hand to shake hands, and nodded to show his greeting.
"Liam, Iâm going for a prenatal check-up. Will you wait here, or..."
"Iâll go with you." Before Maya could finish, Liam interrupted, took her hand, and followed Director Parker to the obstetrics department.
Feeling Liamâs sweaty palm holding her hand tightly, Maya could sense his nervousness.
Maya inhaled deeply, lifted her head slightly, and glanced at him; she could tell he cared deeply about the child, eagerly anticipating his arrival. Seeing Liamâs nervous demeanor gave Maya some comfort.
Perhaps because of his unease, she felt at ease.
In the obstetrics department, the doctor conducted a series of examinations on Mayaâs body and said, "Miss Hanson, please wait a moment, the results will be out shortly."
"Mm!" Maya nodded. At this moment, she was much calmer than Liam.
A moment later, the doctor came with Mayaâs examination results and said, "Miss Hanson, Iâm sorry, but you are not currently pregnant."
"Not pregnant, how is that possible?" Maya listened to the doctorâs result, her eyes widened and, unable to control herself, she tightly grasped her phone and handbag, stepping forward close to the doctor, staring intently into his eyes as she asked.
"Miss Hanson, you really arenât pregnant, and our examination shows that your current health condition isnât suitable for pregnancy. There are still residual medications in your body, so itâs a good thing you arenât pregnant yet. You can consider conceiving after the medications have cleared, which is best for both you and the baby." The doctor explained again, looking at Mayaâs distrustful eyes.
This result was unacceptable to Maya. She distinctly felt she was pregnant; 3 years ago, the same symptoms had indicated her pregnancy.
So, she swallowed and said, "Could it be that your examination missed something? 3 years ago, these symptoms meant I was pregnant. I remember the feeling very clearly, and my intuition canât be wrong." Ná´w novel chapters are publÉŞshed on ????????????????????â˘????????????????â˘????????????
Maya had high hopes for this child; he was her only spiritual support for survival. How could her body play tricks on her? She didnât believe nor was she willing to accept this outcome.
If sheâs not pregnant, what should she do next? How should her life continue?
Thinking of these chaotic matters, Maya took several steps back, shaking her head, saying, "Impossible, I canât not be pregnant."
Beside her, Director Parker watched Mayaâs emotions beginning to unravel and quickly comforted her, "Maya, not being pregnant is a good thing. If you really were and couldnât keep the child, wouldnât that be more painful? Get your body well, and conceiving again later is the same. You are only 22, still very young, thereâs no rush right now."
"Exactly, Miss Hanson, you are so young, playing for a couple more years before having kids isnât too late. Nowadays, girls feel like they havenât played enough even at 30, and donât want to have children! The previous nausea was due to too much emotional tension. If you want to have a baby, you must maintain a good mood, so the baby will be healthy and optimistic." The doctor, seeing Director Parker comforting Maya, also joined in to reassure her, surprised to see a 22-year-old woman so eager to have a child for the first time.
"Maya, if you want to have a baby, you must stop all medications you were taking previously; the best time to conceive is six months later. And remember, no alcohol," Director Parker gave a sincere reminder, especially emphasizing the no alcohol part.
Listening to the doctorâs advice and looking at Mayaâs bewildered expression, Liam had even more questions but realized it was not the right time to ask, so he extended his arm to pull Maya into his embrace, patting her back to comfort her, "Maya, itâs okay. It didnât work out this time; weâll try again when we get home. Trying again in six months is the same."
For Liam, if the situation was truly as described by the doctor, he would prefer Maya not to be pregnant for now, because losing a child is too painful, he wouldnât want to endure such agony a second time.
At the same time, Director Parkerâs remark about avoiding alcohol brought Liamâs memory back to three years ago.
He still vividly remembered three years ago when Maya misunderstood him. He withdrew Kinsleyâs project and his eldest sisterâs contract, then staged at a bar. When Maya went to the bar to apologize, she drank quite a bit.
