CEO Leo’s Baby Mama Is Back

Chapter 78 Health issues

BLUE WHALE HOSPITAL, LOS ANGELES.

Dr. Damien maintained a straight face without looking affected by her outburst. Chloe had been bothered that he would look shock or have some kind of judgmental look on his face. However his expression remained blank.

“Did you hear what I just said?” She asked him.

He nodded, “I heard you loud and clear. I just thought you have something else to add to it.”

“I just want to know if I can get an abortion here.” Chloe said more calmly.

Smacking his lips, the doctor looked through his computer for a few seconds. “That won’t be a problem after you have signed all the required papers for the procedure. But before that, a general test has to be conducted on you, that way we can be sure if abortion is a best bet for you.”

“Okay, how soon can I get the test result?”

“If we get on with it now, you would get it in the next thirty to forty minutes.”

“That sounds good. When can I start?” She responded eagerly.

“Just wait here, a nurse would come and take you to the test lab soon.” He replied.

The nurse came and took Chloe out, she followed judiciously trying hard to keep the fear that plagued her mind at bay, nothing seems to interest her around the place. She couldn’t wait to leave and move on with her daily life. After she was done from the lab, she returned to the doctor’s office.

“You are back.” He said with a smile. “Please take a seat while we await the test result. It should be here soon.”

Chloe nodded with a weak smile, checking her phone she saw her godmother’s message asking for them to meet up for lunch. Hoping her mood would have been lifted by the time she leaves the hospital, she replied yes. The door to the office opened letting in a nurse with a file in hand which she handed to the doctor before going back out. Dr Damien had a frown on his face as he looked through the result. Smiling tightly he placed the file on the table folding his hands.

“What’s wrong?” Chloe asked with a shaky breath.

“I don’t know how else to break this to you, miss Brenda, moreover because you look really desperate to get the pregnancy out. You won’t be able to get an abortion. Unless you have a natural miscarriage or you let the baby grow. You have an underlying high percentage of your blood pressure. Carrying out abortion at this stage when the fetus is almost two months can send you into coma, which isn’t even an assurance that you would survive. You also have a weak womb, which means you might only be able to handle two pregnancies in your lifetime. Taking this one out would only mean that it might leave you partially or permanently infertile. Here.” He said pushing the file towards her. “You can affirm this at any other hospital. I would have loved to help, but there is no need to waste a life. For the sake of yourself, you would have to keep the child. I’m so sorry.”

Letting the words sink into her head, Chloe shut her eyes tightly trying hard to keep herself from screaming in despair. Taking the test result, she slowly got up and made her way towards the door. It took her a while to get a hang of herself. She tried practicing a breathing exercise when she got into the car. Her only way out has been blocked because of her failed health status. She has never been much healthy all her life either. It was one of the reasons her mother got too tired to keep looking after her when she was younger.

Her breathing was becoming harder as she tried to steady herself, her head was spinning and her palms became sweaty. The more the reality of her situation dawned on her, the more Chloe breathing seized. The loud ringing of her phone brought her to the surface a bit and she picked up while still fighting hard to keep steady.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Desire was on the other end and she could hear her panting hard very clearly. ‘Baby, what’s wrong? Where are you? Chloe?’

She was panting really hard. ‘God.. go… god… mother…” She called out in a strained whisper.

‘It’s okay, baby. Just breathe for me. Put on your location and I am driving down to meet you right this minute.’ Desire said.

Chloe managed to do as told, before hanging up. She gulped and gripped the steering tightly to put herself in a stable state but nothing she tried seem to work. Instead she only felt more drained. After what felt like forever, the door to her car was opened and Desire pulled her into her chest while caressing her back.

“It’s okay, baby. I’m here now. It’s okay. Let it out.” She cajoled.

After five minutes of repeating words of affirmation and constantly rubbing her back. Chloe felt better. With the help of her driver, Desire was able to help her goddaughter to a nearby cafe where she was given coffee to calm down. Feeling more relieved, Chloe exhaled slowly after her first cup of coffee.

“Thank you, godmother.” She muttered.

“I was surprised when your location read this place. What are you doing this far from home and nowhere near a familiar place? And what resulted in your panic attack?”

Chloe blinked slowly, “I guess it’s the pregnancy just doing it’s magic on me.”

“I am so sorry about that, honey. Have you had a discussion with Zac?” Chloe stared blankly at her not saying a word. “Did you hear me, Chloe?”

Sighing, Chloe sniffed while staring down at the coffee cup. “I don’t know who you are talking about. What has Zac got to do about this?”

It was Desire’s turn to blink in confusion. “What do you mean? Didn’t you say Zac is the father of your child?”

She looked around like someone was watching. “What are you saying godmother? I’m married to Leo and he is the one responsible for my baby.”

“Is this some kind of joke?”

“I should be asking you for trying to rope me with infidelity.”

“What are you trying to do right now, Chloe?”

“I’m not doing anything except saying the truth. I’m pregnant with my husband’s child end of discussion. I don’t even know who the fuck Zac is.”

“Okay, I get that you are in an unstable state of mind right now. But you can’t deny what you told me days back. Don’t make me look like a mad person please.”

Licking her lips, Chloe held Desire’s gaze. “I respect you a lot godmother which is why I am going to take my time to explain this to you. I am married to only one man, Leo and the baby inside of me belongs to him. I need to go home now and prepare for my husband’s return from work. Thank you very much.” She said excusing herself.

Chloe could feel Desire’s eyes following her and she felt really guilty at heart. There is a limit to what she can endure in a day. It’s of no use trying to meet with the actual father of the child when he wouldn’t accept it. She can’t abort either, the only person who has no other choice than to stick to whatever she says about being pregnant is Leo. Even if they had used protection, he and every other person knows that mishaps happen and pregnancy isn’t impossible. All she has to do is insist on him being the father and their life would be nothing short of bliss.

Despite the constant assurance she gave herself, Chloe was in extreme tears till she got home. Her emotions and tequila has gotten her into a lifetime mistake. Her life obviously won’t remain the same and now she has lost the solace of the one person who sticks to her no matter what, Desire. She is all alone by herself, with a child who would obviously never forgive her.
