Why did she experience all these unpleasant things alone? Why couldn’t she share her woes with him? Was it because they do not love each other, then they both would not be able to share the pain?

“No way! You must have known that I had refused the doctor’s request, right?” Lea asked, not needing an answer, of course. She knew that Dave already understood the condition she was in.

“Don’t be stubborn, Lea!” he said. “I know it’s hard, but you shouldn’t insist on giving birth to this baby normally if your life is in danger. Think logically!”

Lea shook her head quickly. She resented having to argue about the same thing again and again.

“I don’t care about myself anymore Dave. I will give this baby to Clara and you. The person I love had already chosen another woman to be with him. This kid’s life is worth more than mine, Dave!” Lea replied, her tears now flowing, damping her swollen face.

Dave’s throat constricted. He couldn’t argue when Lea said that. He recalled how his ex-secretary’s face hurt when William betrayed her and chose Paula.

“Lea, you will find your happiness in the future. Don’t be stubborn like this, “Dave said again. He still had a lot of determination to make Lea give up.

.....

“What about Clara? How about you?” asked Lea again. She then looked at Dave with teary eyes. Her vision started to blur, either because of the tears, or because of her illness. “Didn’t you and Clara want this child? You guys are getting married soon, right? If this child doesn’t survive, how are you planning to have another child in the future?”

“About that ….”

“You couldn’t have fertilized another woman’s egg again, could you? I don’t want Clara to be hurt again, Dave. It’s very painful for anyone. I know the feeling very well,” whispered Lea in a weak, suppressed voice. Even though she was determined to close the door of hatred against William, that didn’t mean she had forgotten her pain.

“Lea, don’t use Clara as an excuse to justify how stubborn you are. The doctor said that your condition is bad, so you should just obey them.”

Lea shook her head. She looked at Dave with a stern face. “I know, you secretly want to get rid of this kid, right?” she accused, starting to talk nonsense because she felt attacked.

Of course, it made Dave feel annoyed. How could Lea have such dark thoughts?

“Don’t accuse without proof!” Dave snapped with a reproving look. His eyebrows furrowed because Lea looked at him like a murderer.

“What? No reason you said? Didn’t Clara also say the same thing? She and you took this opportunity to get rid of this baby, right?” accused Lea who was starting to feel very depressed. “I know you two conspired to get rid of me and this baby from your lives, right? Why didn’t you just kick me out of your presence? Why are you using this dirty method?”

“Lea!” Dave snapped, shaking Lea’s shoulder gently. “Think carefully! Why did Clara do this?”

“Because she’s the doctor who takes care of me! I knew from the start that this wouldn’t end well with Clara being my doctor!” Lea continued. Her face looked even paler.

Dave thought for a moment. It turned out that Clara was handling Lea’s case. Why didn’t Clara say anything to him?

“I swear. I just heard about you from William. How could Clara and I have planned something like that?” Dave yelled to get Lea’s clear mind back to her senses.

Lea persisted. “Then Clara must be the one trying to get rid of my baby, right?”

Hearing Lea’s accusations against Clara, Dave was furious and raised his hand, ready to hit Lea. However, he lowered his hand because he realized Lea’s emotion was unstable.

Dave then said softly, “Listen, Lea! In this hospital, there’s no way you can cheat. Many eyes are watching. There are many doctors. There’s no way they could do something ridiculous and stupid. Besides, haven’t you seen how Clara works? Does she look like someone who would get rid of your baby?”

Lea stared blankly at him. She looked away from him because her tears were flowing profusely at this moment. Of course, Lea never thought that Clara was a cheating doctor. How she had been treated so far, even though sometimes Clara’s words were harsh, the woman didn’t want to harm her or the baby in the slightest.

“Sorry,” whispered Lea, still looking away from Dave. “I know Clara wouldn’t do that. I … I just feel pressured.”

Dave looked at Lea with growing concern. Certainly, at this time Lea could not bear the burden. For sure, right now she felt her life was insignificant.

“The baby has a fairly large life expectancy. Pray that he will survive even after you give birth early,” Dave whispered again. The anger was no longer in his voice.

Lea just replied with a smile. “But there are risks Dave. And they are big enough. I just want to hang on … for several weeks … so my only-400-grams baby can gain weight and be safer to deliver early.”

Silence descended on Lea’s room again. Dave didn’t know what else to explain.

“Imagine, Dave. If you were in my shoes, would you be able to sacrifice the baby?” This time, Lea turned to him. “He’s your flesh and blood, Dave! In his blood, runs your blood. Can you do anything to harm him? Can you put him at that forty percent risk of death?”

It was then, Dave realized what a big number forty percent was. Four out of ten cases. Four out of ten babies born at twenty-four weeks would die.

Dave could only gape, speechless. His gaze met Lea’s swollen red eyes.

“Can you do it, Dave?” Lea asked again, making the man in front of her only stare blankly because he was full of guilt. Unknowingly, tears rolled down his cheeks. He shook his head slowly, agreeing with Lea’s statement.

At that time, the two of them did not realize, they were not the only two who were crying. There was a young doctor with amber eyes who could only lean her body against the wall, crying bitterly after hearing a sad conversation between the parents-to-be.
