Mrs. Perry went to pay for the checkup and lay on the examination table, afraid to the point of wanting to cry.
If Tabby Teller were by her side, perhaps she could be a bit stronger, but when alone, she felt more vulnerable.
She covered her swollen belly, silently shedding tears.
Five months in, she could already feel her baby moving inside her.
Moving so actively, it must be a lively and adorable child.
Mrs. Perry secretly resolved herself, simultaneously prepared for the worst outcome, should she be carrying a child with Down syndrome, she still wanted to give birth to the baby.
Her baby, she couldn't bear to abandon.
Already having a capable son, even if she gave birth to a sick child, she still had the ability to care for him/her for a lifetime.
After completing the checkup, the doctor pushed Mrs. Perry to a ward to lie down for a while before leaving.
The more detailed checkup report would have to wait three days to be received.
