Seeing the doctor's solemn expression, Rosalie asked uneasily, "Doctor, what's wrong?"
The doctor hung the stethoscope around his neck, and then said, "Your heartbeat is a bit slow. Please lie down so that I can examine you thoroughly."
Rosalie nodded, and lay down on the bed.
The doctor gently touched her belly and then pressed on a specific spot.
"Ah!" Rosalie let out a cry of pain. "That hurts!"
The doctor asked, "Do you feel like you were pricked by a needle when I pressed down here?"
Rosalie nodded. "Yes. What's wrong?"
The doctor's expression grew even more serious. "Your condition has worsened. You need surgery immediately."
"What?" Sebastian immediately tensed up. "Why?"
The doctor turned to Sebastian and asked, "Did the patient get proper rest last night?"
"Well..." Sebastian glanced at Rosalie, but didn't answer for her.
Rosalie spoke up. "I went out last night, but I was in a car and a wheelchair. I didn't do any physical activity."
"Miss Young, I reminded you not to exert yourself. Even without physical activity, your emotional state is also a crucial factor! You need surgery immediately. There can be no more delays."
The doctor's words were stern and precise, making it clear that the situation was urgent.
Rosalie glanced at her phone. "What if I wait until ten o’clock?"
Sebastian tightly held her hand, his eyes reddening. "Please, Rose, don't hesitate anymore. If you don't trust me, I'll ask Yvonne to come over. You trust her, don't you?"
Seeing Sebastian's reddened eyes and his worried expression, Rosalie felt a pang of guilt. How could she have doubted him? Every time she questioned him, it must hurt him deeply.
"Seb, I trust you. If Theo calls, please tell him I've been waiting for him."
Sebastian nodded firmly. "No problem. So, do you agree to the surgery now?"
Rosalie nodded. "I agree."
She couldn't let anything happen to the baby. She couldn't risk the baby's well-being just to wait for Theodore's call. Rosalie had no choice but to make this difficult decision.
She then told Sebastian the passcode of her phone.
