When His Eyes Opened

Chapter 9

Chapter 9

There was no sign of two gestational sacs during the last checkup.

 

 

Avery could not believe that there were two babies inside of her a short week later.

 

She held the ultrasound scan in her hands as she sat in a quiet daze on one of the benches in the hospital corridor.

 

The doctor told her that the probability of being pregnant with twins was extremely low.

 

If she had an abortion now, she might never be able to have twins again.

 

Avery chuckled bitterly. All of this was the work of the Fosters’ private doctors.

 

When they had implanted the fertilized eggs into her, they had not mentioned that she was going to have twins.

 

Perhaps in their eyes, she was nothing but a birthing tool for the Fosters from the beginning.

 

When she began to bleed the week before, she thought that her period had arrived. When the Fosters’ doctors found out, they thought that the procedure had failed. When Elliot said that he would divorce her after he had woken up, the doctors had never seen her again.

 

The decision to give birth or not was now solely on her shoulders.

 

Avery’s phone rang in her bag. She had been in the hospital for over an hour.

 

She pulled out her phone, stood up, and walked toward the hospital’s exit.

 

“Avery, your father’s dying! Come home right away!”

 

Her mother’s hoarse voice came from the other side of the line.

 

Avery was stunned.

 

Dad was dying? How could this be?

 

She knew that her father had been hospitalized after his company got in trouble. He could not even attend her wedding.

 

She did not know that his condition was this serious. Avery’s mind was a mess.

 

She did not have a good relationship with her father. She could never forgive him for having an affair.

 

However, her heart stung painfully upon suddenly hearing the news of his serious illness.
