My Supermodel Wife

The doctor from the ER was seen coming out with a middle-aged obstetrician.

The doctor then introduced him, "This is the director of our hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, Doctor Elva."

Jean nodded slightly, but his face remained indifferent.

Doctor Elva was about fifty years old and looked like a very good woman.

She looked at Jean and Chris for a moment and said, "The patient has just had a blood test for hCG and now we can confirm that she is pregnant. Her pregnancy is still in the first trimester, less than four weeks. Doctor Michael also told me about the patient's situation just now. From a doctor's point of view, we want to give you some advice,"

"In general, we do not recommend that a pregnant woman be exposed to radiation, for example, X-rays and CT examinations especially during the first trimester of her pregnancy. According to international radiological protection standards, the amount of radiation received during pregnancy should not exceed 1 rad. Doctor Michael's CT examination in the emergency department just now did not exceed the standard measurement so it's still fine," she explained.

Then she added, "However, the survival of the fetus and the possibility of developing abnormalities in the embryo in the future is still relatively greater than that of a normal fetus during pregnancy. Of course, all decisions remain on family members to decide whether the patient should keep the pregnancy or not. For the sake of prenatal and postnatal safety, I advise you to abort it."

After Doctor Elva finished speaking, Chris was confused.

But he could be sure of one thing— Lilia was pregnant!

Jean stood silently in front of the director of obstetrics and gynecology. He looked at her for a moment then asked in a cold voice, "What will happen if we decide to keep it?"

Director Elva kept a friendly expression on her face, and without the slightest surprise, she kindly smiled. "Then the patient can be discharged from the hospital and only needs to come regularly for excretion and examination of fetal development. Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Although this kind of radiation may have little impact on the fetus, as long as the examination is done accordingly, we can still help the patient with any problem that may follow in time."

Chris was confused. "What problem do you mean? And what kind of help?"

Director Elva smiled faintly. "If problems are found in the fetus during the examination, we will perform manual intervention, either by aborting the pregnancy, dispensing the fetus from the body, or... inducing labor."

Chris' breath stifled, he could not resist to look toward Jean.

The man still didn't speak a word. His handsome face remained cold, restrained and serious.

Doctor Elva and Doctor Michael looked at each other. Then Doctor Elva thought for a while and her expression became serious, "To be honest, you, as a family member, still have to think carefully about this matter. If you decide to keep this child, then the patient must stop taking all medications though it will be a torture in the future."

After speaking, Doctor Michael quickly looked at Jean and explained, "After we examined the wound, we haven't decided how it should be treated because we're still waiting for results from other departments."

He actually found abnormalities from the CT scan result. Doctor Michael didn't dare to take a decision as he needed to consult with other departments first.

"The patient isn't seriously injured, the ankle is just the most problematic for now. As for the swelling on her forehead, the patient can use ice packs at home and the swelling will automatically disappear after a few days."

Jean's face was getting gloomy, making those around him feel that a storm was coming.

Suddenly, the ward door behind him opened and the nurse hurriedly came out. "Director Elva, doctor Michael, the patient has regained consciousness."

...

At this time, Lilia was awake.

Chris stared at Jean unconsciously. Seeing his eyes filled with hope, he couldn't help but pat his shoulder. "Come in and have a look."

The man's throat continued swallowing his saliva as the crease in his forehead got deeper.

Doctor Elva then gently coaxed him, "Actually, you don't need to be too stressed. There isn't much empirical evidence that can confirm the effect of radiation on pregnancy. I am only saying the pros and cons of this pregnancy are due to my obligations as a doctor. After all, medical treatment nowadays is very advanced and there should be no problem to take protective precautions later."

But her words still could not erase the gloomy expression on the man's face.

After a while, Jean nodded slightly and thanked her, then followed Doctor Michael to the special ward.

On the hospital bed, Lilia's eyes were half closed and her thin lashes fluttered from time to time. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned her head slowly as she weakly called, "Jean ..."

She felt her body ache all over, feeling limp after she just woke up for a moment.

After she pondered for a long time, she remembered that she had an accident while she was on the stage.

Lilia vaguely remembered that the background board fell so fast, she didn't even have a chance to escape.

It seemed that someone came and stood in front of it, so that when the background board hit her, most of the impact and weight was on the other side.

Lilia was still hit on the forehead and she didn't know what happened after that because everything happened so fast.

At this time, she was stunned to see the figure of the man coming from behind the door. Perhaps since the board hit her forehead earlier, her vision was a bit blurry. Lilia couldn't tell the expression on his handsome face when she saw him approach her closer.

Lilia lifted her hand with difficulty, trying to feel her forehead. Feeling weak and limp made her feel so uncomfortable.

"Don't move!" The man saw her movements then stepped forward and held her cold fingertips.

Lilia allowed him to hold her hand since she barely had any strength left. Then she closed her eyelids and muttered, "My head hurts and my eyes can't see clearly ..."

The tension in the man's eyes immediately disappeared.

Doctor Michael immediately stepped forward and motioned for Jean to make way. He bent over Lilia's eyes and gestured with two fingers. "How much is this?"

Lilia was silent.

"Can't you see?" Doctor Michael felt a little nervous when he saw that Lilia was not answering.

There had been several cases of blindness caused by trauma to the forehead, but the main concern here was her current occupation as a female celebrity. If she were completely blind and pregnant at the same time, it would be terrible.

Doctor Michael couldn't help but feel worried as he was thinking about several possibilities in his head. However, he heard Lilia calmly spit out a word, "Two!"

"You can see!"

Doctor Michael changed a few more fingers. "How much is this?"

"Six!"

He nodded, looking satisfied. "Can you feel the source of the light now?"

Lilia nodded earnestly then said in a very soft voice, "Yes, but it's blurry when I try to see something from a distance."

Doctor Michael thought for a while then took a flashlight to examine her pupil. After he saw the fundus of her eye, he finally concluded, "Right now, the retina looks normal. Blurred vision should be caused by trauma to the head, which causes a small injury to the optic nerve. You may consider taking some medications for treatment, but...."
