CHAPTER 440 CHOOSING THE CHILD

Yvonne hugged her legs, put her chin on her knees, and murmured, "I don't want to have an abortion.”

Sam wasn't surprised by her answer as he expected this.

"But if you don’t abort it, there's no way to receive the treatment," Sam said.

Yvonne closed her eyes. "I know, but I really can't do this. I've lost a child and this child came to me as a miracle. I can't lose him anymore. I want to give birth t o him."

"I understand how you feel, but you can't hold on much longer. Even if you give birth to him, what if he inherits it as well?" Sam disagreed with her.

Yvonne's body trembled. "Then what do you think I should do?"

"Of course I want you to be treated. I want you to live," Sam answered her seriously.

Yvonne opened her eyes blankly and said, "You want me to abort him?” 2

"You have to do this to receive the treatment and this i s the best choice. As mentioned, you have a special blood type and it’s difficult to find a compatible kidney. You have to receive the treatment earlier so you have more time to find a suitable kidney. After the kidney transplant, your body will slowly recover and you can get pregnant by IVF again," Sam advised her.

Yvonne shook her head vigorously. "No, what am I if I do this? I'll become a selfish mother who kills her child to survive. I can’t accept the way I am."

Sam sighed, "So you still choose to give birth?”

Yvonne choked and hummed.

Sam pinched his eyebrows and asked, "Then you'll miss the golden opportunity to receive treatment and the treatment will be very painful afterward.

Moreover, you might not have much time to wait for a suitable kidney or maybe you won't be able to find one at all. Do you still want to give birth? You have to know that you'll die because of this. Your child won't have a mother and Henry will lose a wife."

No mother, no wife...

Yvonne suddenly hesitated as she was thinking.

But soon, she was firm again. "Yes, I want to give birth! If I pass away because I can’t find a suitable kidney, I believe that Henry will be a good father. As long as Henry loves the baby, the baby will not long for love and a mother won't be important to him. As for Henry..."

Yvonne clenched her fist and suppressed the grief in her heart and said, "He might fall in love with another woman. As long as the woman treats the baby well, I’ll die without complaining."

"You're really...” Sam was shocked by her and didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he could only say, "The last point. If you're able to solve it, I won’t stop you from giving birth to the child."

Yvonne's eyes lit up. "Please say it!"

"In fact, I've mentioned this before. What if the child's born and inherits your condition? You..."

"I've got a solution,” Yvonne interrupted him.

Sam raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

Yvonne touched her stomach and smiled motherly," After the birth of the child, I'll tell Henry to find a suitable kidney. I don't believe that he can't find one i n 20 years."

Sam was shocked by her again.

He didn't expect that she would think of this solution.

Needless to say, this was a feasible method.

"You win," Sam chuckled and looked defeated by Yvonne, "I hope you won't regret it."

"I won't regret it. I know what I'm doing.” Yvonne nodded her head and smiled with relief. She no longer looked like when she first came out of the hospital and looked as if the sky had fallen down.

"In fact, in the beginning, I struggled with my life and my child. I didn't know which to choose, but in the end, I chose the child. Although I might die because of the child, I'm not sad at all. Instead, I feel happy.”

"What's there to be happy about?” Sam didn't understand her.

Yvonne smiled and didn't mean to explain further. She took his hand. "Mr. Smith, thank you for thinking for me and thank you for your advice earlier. I know you want me to live, but I'm sorry that I have to le

"It's your choice. As long as you don't regret it, I won’t b e disappointed."

Sam smiled at her gently. Then he thought of something and said, "Since you overheard this from M r. Lancaster and he firmly believes that you’re still alive, then I think Mr. Lancaster will send his men to find the kidney. With his ability, there may be good news within two years' time, and maybe you won't die.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Upon hearing this, Yvonne wasn't excited at all. She laughed indifferently, "You manage to think of this even when you don't know him. How can I not think o f this when I know him so well? He'll definitely look for it but it’s unknown whether he can find it, so I won't have any high hopes for him and I'm prepared if he's unable to find it.”

Of course, it was best if Henry could find a suitable kidney.

If he couldn’t find it, then it was fate. As long as the child was born, she would die without any regret.

"You're really optimistic." Sam touched her head.

Yvonne twitched the corner of her mouth without answering.

Sam withdrew his hand. "Mr. Lancaster's been looking for you in the past few days. Although he firmly believes that you're not dead, the belief may have begun to waver since he can’t find you. I saw him in the hospital earlier and his face was abnormally pale. Furthermore, you have hereditary kidney failure. No one can withstand these. Do you want to go back and calm his emotions?"

Yvonne turned her head around and looked at the little diary beside her bed. "Yes, it's time to go back. Are you going back to your country as well?”

Sam nodded. "My flight is tomorrow night."

"Then I'll go back tomorrow.” Yvonne had already decided when to go back.

Sam had no objections. "I’ll give you a ride then."

"Okay,” Yvonne responded softly. Then, she said faintly, "In fact, there's one thing I can’t figure out."

"What is it about?" Sam sat down beside her bed.

Yvonne uncurled her body. She straightened her leg and leaned her upper body against the wall. "It’s about the fact that I was pushed out of the car. Why hasn’t Henry figured out the truth these two days? Doesn't he doubt Jacqueline?" 1

"I don't know about this, but you said that if Mr. Lancaster can't figure out the truth, you'll tell him in person and tomorrow's the opportunity." Sam straightened his cuffs and smiled calmly.

Yvonne thought so too. She stopped thinking about it and yawned.

"Feeling sleepy again?" Sam stopped what he was doing.

Yvonne was a little embarrassed. "Yes. I've become lethargic recently."

"In that case, have a good rest," Sam said. Then, he stood up and left.

Yvonne was left alone in the room. She sighed softly, then yawned and lay down on the pillow. She fell asleep after a while.

She slept until the next morning and woke up with a hungry groan.

By the time she was done washing up, the servant had already prepared breakfast.

At the dining table, Sam brought a glass of milk to Yvonne. "Why did you sleep for so long? The servant went up to call you for dinner last night, but you didn't wake up."

Yvonne sipped the milk embarrassingly. "I’m not sure as well. I had such good sleep that I don't even know someone called for me."

Sam chuckled, "I heard from the servant that you were sleeping so soundly that even thunder couldn’t wake you up. If you're not breathing, she'd think something was wrong with you. Well, eat quickly. I'm going to answer the phone."

He put down the cutlery as he spoke. Not knowing what was said on the other end of the phone, his expression turned bad after a few seconds.
