Chapter: 312

The doctor consoled Briar and explained, �Because it�s a genetic defect, it�s impossible to detect it in the early stage of pregnancy. You�re now in the second trimester of your pregnancy, so your fetus has developed more, and that has revealed many hidden conditions. We recommend performing an abortion as soon as possible before you reach the third trimester of pregnancy. That�s the safest option for you!�

�No!�

Briar exclaimed, �I won�t let anyone touch my child. It carries the Hunt blood. If you dare to touch it, you�ll be messing with the Hunt family. Can you bear the consequences?�

The baby was her last hope. If she lost the baby, it would be all over for her.

But to be honest, she was actually unsure if the baby�s biological father was Tristan Hunt.

Briar vaguely remembered that she had not only had sex with Tristan that day. She had gone to a bar in the evening and got drunk with a bunch of friends. She could not remember clearly whether she had sex afterwards.

�Miss Desrosiers, aborting the baby now is the best solution because the baby has a genetic defect and may stop developing altogether in the later stages of pregnancy � in other words, it�ll be a stillborn. That will be very harmful to your health!"

Upon hearing the doctor�s explanation, Briar�s face turned deathly pale. She was in despair.

�You� are you trying to scare me?�

�I�m not.�

The doctor looked sympathetically at Briar. This kind of thing was an extremely painful experience for any mother to go. through. �Maybe we should ask Mr. Hunt to come over and hear what he thinks.�

�No, you can�t call him over!�

Briar grabbed the doctor�s hand and pleaded in tears, �Doctor, I beg you. Stefan loves the baby very much and looks forward to having a child. You can�t tell him about this. I want to take the risk and give birth to the baby anyway. Even if the baby has a mental disability, I think the Hunt family will still accept the baby and Stefan will still be happy!�

�This is not a matter of taking the risk or not. It�s that, nine times out of ten, the baby might not even live until the third trimester of pregnancy. In just a month or two, it�ll stop developing��

�Say no more, doctor, I�ve made my decision. If it successfully gets born, it�s a miracle. If it doesn�t, it�s an accident.�

Briar already had a solution in mind. She warned the doctor, �You better not tell anyone else about this. If news gets out that the

Hunt family�s baby is mentally disabled, your career, and maybe even this hospital, will suffer!�

The doctor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He gulped and said, �I understand, Miss Desrosiers. I should have been more thoughtful. Don�t worry, the secret is safe with me!�

After the doctor left. Briar rubbed her belly, angry and disappointed. She said, �You should have done better. God gave you the chance to be born into the Hunt family, but you actually have a genetic defect� You�re gonna stop developing anyway, so don�t blame me for being cruel!�

What the doctor meant was obvious. Regardless of whether the baby was aborted or not, it would not survive. JrNovels.com
