Reborn From Oblivion

Chapter 357



Patrick rubbed his hands together, feeling the weight of the situation. "The baby's on the way, and Nellie's been cooped up at home. This is a bit of a sticky wicket."

Greta leaned in. "Dad, she's heading to the hospital for her monthly check-up. You're pretty chummy with the head of the maternity ward, right? Just have them slip her some meds that could, you know, interfere with the baby's growth. Nature might just take its course." Patrick was taken aback. "Isn't that a bit too harsh?"

Greta coaxed, "Dad, think about it. If I become Mrs. Dawson, you'd be the father-in-law of someone big in business. With his backing, our company would be unstoppable."

People took risks for wealth just as birds faced danger for food.

Patrick decided to ignore any lingering doubts. "Alright, for your sake, I'll do it this once," he said, a determined glint in his eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

At Nellie's next appointment, her doctor mentioned some concerns about the ultrasound and prescribed medication to stabilize the pregnancy.

After taking the medication, sge started experiencing signs of a possible miscarriage.

However, perhaps it was destiny's intervention, as Nellie managed to carry the pregnancy to term.

Soon enough, Nellie gave birth. She had a baby girl, but the little one had a congenital heart defect.

Greta, still dissatisfied, snapped at Patrick, "Why didn't you make her take something stronger?"

Patrick, looking sheepish, replied, "We couldn't make it too obvious; she'd get suspicious."

Greta retorted, "Cameron loves daughters. What if he falls for Nellie's daughter and starts loving her more deeply?"

Patrick sighed, "Cameron is too soft-hearted. He loves you, yet he ditched you for some misguided sense of morality and chose Nellie."

Greta clenched her fists and said determinedly, "I can't let Cameron become attached to this child."

...

At the hospital, Nellie was cradling her tiny child, tears streaming down her face.

The doctor explained the cause of her daughter's heart defect, "Ms. Nellie, did you take any questionable medications during your pregnancy? The child might have been affected by them."

Nellie glared at Cameron, her eyes filled with silent accusation. She wrongly assumed the

post-transplant meds might have caused the defect. After all,

Cameron, in his hurry to sec net

surgery time, hadn't thought about the possibility of her getting pregnant and had rushed her into a transplant operation.

His focus was all on Greta, ignoring the safety of their own child.

Cameron hung his head, silent. Guilt overwhelmed him as he stared at his wife and child.

"Nel, don't worry. As long as we shower her with love, she'll grow up happy, even if she's a bit frail."

"Get out," Nellie's voice was icy.

Cameron was stunned; no one had ever dared to order him around like that before. He felt a twinge of displeasure.

Then, a nurse reminded him, "New moms have hormonal swings that can mess with their mood. It sometimes leads to depression. Be patient." Reluctantly, he left.

Once he was gone, Nellie listed all the medications she'd taken during her pregnancy to the doctor.

The doctor's expression grew

increasingly serious. "These medications, on their own, are meant to support the pregnancy. But mixing these two can lead to

лет

miscarriage or serious birth defects."

Nellie felt her face go pale. Those were the meds her doctor had given her to support her during pregnancy. No wonder she'd had a scare after switching to them.

"I see," Nellie said, her expression darkening.
