Chapter 11 Katherine kept taking deep breaths , trying her best to calm herself down . She clung tightly to Derrick's waist . " Derrick . Derrick , Katherine repeated his name over and over , each call draining Derrick of all emotion . Only a heart that felt like it was about to melt remained , no matter how much Katherine struggled . They were still in the hospital lobby , making quite a scene . It wasn't long before hospital security arrived . " It's nothing . Just a misunderstanding . Derrick explained . This was a private hospital run by one of Derrick's partners , and Derrick had some shares in it , so he was effectively a partial owner . Since he said it was fine , the security guard didn't press further . But just as the guard was about to leave , Derrick called him back . Throw him out . From now on , anyone who charges at people like a madman - don't let them in , " Derrick ordered . The guard immediately followed the command and took Charles , who was still dazed from the choking , out of the hospital . Katherine relaxed , her body going limp as she leaned against Derrick . He lifted her up , bending down to place her back in the wheelchair when Katherine suddenly threw her arms around his neck , climbing up . I don't want to sit in the wheelchair . Can you carry me , Derrick ? Please , carry me , " she said , her breath warm against his exposed skin . Derrick had no reason to refuse . Derrick thought , Is it because Charles can't see us now that she's willing to let me touch her again ? But why did Katherine suddenly choke Charles earlier ? Was it a show for me ? Was she trying to get me to lower my guard ? " He couldn't make sense of it . A heavy feeling weighed on him , and his expression turned cold . Derrick thought , If she's acting , then I hope she'll keep acting for the rest of her life . Otherwise , I don't know what I might do in a moment of madness that will make Katherine hate me even more . Dr. Harper Hill was an expert in obstetrics . She closed the curtains and spent a long time conducting the examination . " The report will take at least three hours to come out You can go have breakfast first , Harper said , pulling back the curtains and removing her mask . Her expression seemed a bit serious . Derrick glanced at Harper a little longer , then picked up the still - unawäre Katherine and left . In the garage , Maeve had prepared a salad and brought it over . It was one of the few things Katherine could keep down without vomiting these days . It was too bland and tasteless , and it lacked nutrition . " Have something to eat . I'll step out to make a call . Is that alright ? " Derrick gently asked , holding Katherine's cold hand as he spoke sofily . " Yeah , go ahead , Katherine said understandingly and waved him off . Derrick glanced at Marve , who nodded , signaling that she would keep an eye on Katherine . Derrick didn't have any calls to make . In order to accompany Katherine to her prenatal checkup , he had already informed all of his assistants not to send him any urgent documents , no matter how pressing , He took the elevator back to the department where Katherine had just been examined . " Let me take a look at the film , " he spoke . Harper seemed to have anticipated Derrick's return and handed him the images from Katherine's scan . Derrick studied them for a while , seeing a small mass inside a shadow . He thought . This is our child , Katherine's and mine He couldn't make sense of the film and turned to Harper , confused . Harper pointed to two areas on the film , saying . " The baby's position is too high up . It's pressing against the stomach , which is why the morning sickness is so severe . " She adjusted her glasses and added , " It might not just be morning sickness . It could also be because of the position , putting too much pressure on surrounding organs as the embryo develops " 1/2 Chapter 11 With each word , Derrick's brows furrowed tighter . His grip on the film became so tense that his hand turned pale . " Doctor , just tell me the result Seeing his expression , Harper sighed , " There are two options . One , try to adjust the baby's position , though it might not work . The longer we wait , the more damage it could do to the mother's body . " She paused for a moment , then continued . " The second option is to terminate the p the pregnancy while it's still early . " At the mention of the second option , Derrick's heart jolted Terminate the pregnancy ? " He thought . This is my child , my only hope . If we terminate it , will Katherine leave me immediately and go to Charles ? Harper had seen this kind of thing too many with your wife . " ny times and remained calm . " You should make your decision soon . You Cin also discuss it When Derrick returned to the garage , Katherine had just finished vomiting . She had thrown up the half - eaten salad . Maeve was there , handing Katherine water and wiping her mouth . Maeve remarked worriedly , " Why are you throwing up so badly ? The food doesn't even smell strange . " Oh my goodness , if you keep throwing up like this , not only will the baby be at risk , but you're going to wear yourself out too . " The words weren't meant to hurt , but to Derrick's ears , they were like sharp arrows , piercing his heart with each one . He thought , I can't let anything bad happen to Katherine . I can live without the child , but I can't live without her . " Mr. Graham , you're back ? " Maeve asked , confused . She caught a glimpse of Derrick standing in the shadow , his gaze a bit unsettling. She quickly called out to him , unsure of what had affected him . Derrick nodded and walked toward them . He gently placed his hand on Katherine's shoulder , guiding her to lean against him . " Are feeling uncomfortable ?" you When he showed care , it made Katherine feel more vulnerable . She could still hold herself together in front of Maeve . But in Derrick's presence , Katherine's lips trembled , and tears welled up , one after another . " Yes , I feel sick , Katherine said , burying her face in his neck , sniffing . She really was in discomfort . Her body trembled from hunger , and when she finally managed to ear a little , it felt as if something had pushed it right back out . Just now , Katherine almost felt like she was going to vomit her stomach up She paused , nudging her nose against Derrick's collarbone , her voice hoarse . " It's so uncomfortable . " Hearing this , Derrick was heartbroken . He pulled Katherine tightly into his arms . " It's okay You'll feel better soon . I'll have Dr. Hill prescribe some medication that's safe for pregnant women . It'll help with the symptoms " Maeve looked at Derrick , puzzled , thinking , " Are there really medications safe for pregnant women ? Even though Katherine had given birth in her previous life , she didn't have much experience with pregnancy . If u weren't for her growing belly , she wouldn't even ha sickness in her previous life . realized she was pregnant . The key thing was that she never had morning Exhausted , she murmured softly before falling asleep , resting her head against Derrick , " Okay ." 2/2
