Chapter 2317
With Francesca’s health condition, having one was hard enough, and now that she was pregnant with triplets, the risk index had instantly tripled.
Francesca went to the hospital for a prenatal check-up and was advised by her doctor to undergo a reduction procedure, aborting two and keeping one, which would be safer, but she refused.
They were all her flesh and blood, she couldn’t give up any of them, she had practiced medicine all her life to save people and now she was confident to keep her children too.
So she began to study the art of medicine, checking and regulating herself every day and preparing for the birth.
Anthony was relieved and still had a card at the CX Hospital in H City, and also contacted a special plane, thinking that when Francesca gave birth, in case there were any emergencies, she could still fly to H City for treatment immediately.
But he was afraid of being scolded, so all these things were done secretly and silently.
Francesca had been in a very calm mood lately, either reading ancient medical books or tinkering with traditional medicine every day, and she had also gotten a new set of tools to prepare herself for delivery.
The old lady who helped out at home was terrified, going back to her partner and saying that the young couple at Mid-levels could be wanted criminals, how come they were pregnant and still had to pound out births in their own home, not daring to go to the hospital.
Fortunately, Francesca and Anthony usually treat her well, although the granny was nervous and afraid, but also did not think of reporting them, just every day to be afraid of.
Day by day, in the blink of an eye, Francesca was already seven months pregnant, and recently she had a particularly good appetite, eating a large pot of stir-fried meat, a casserole of fish soup, and various fruits and vegetables every day.
The original lean little face was now rounded, and the skin was white and red, which was endearing.
When Anthony saw that she was in such good shape, he was relieved and asked granny to buy more food and cook it for Francesca in different ways.
The day Anthony drove to the city to replenish some daily necessities, he found some people asking around for information about Francesca.
He was startled and hurriedly drove back up the hill.
He was on his way back when his mobile phone rang, it was the maid’s call, her voice excited and nervous: “Anthony, it’s a big deal, Francesca is going to give birth, you should come back quickly.”
“I’m on my way back, what’s wrong with her?” Anthony asked anxiously.
“At noon she said she was thirsty, holding half of a watermelon and lying on a reclining chair to eat it, I was doing the laundry, before I finished it I heard her screaming in agony, saying that her stomach was hurting badly, asking me to hurry and call you.”
Granny was busy while talking and heard Francesca’s screams of agony still coming from the other end of the phone.
Anthony was terrified and hurriedly sped up the car to rush home.
But he had just driven halfway up the hill when he noticed several black modified cars following him behind, supposedly from the Lindberg family.
His heart was racing, at this time, if he went home, he would take them back with him, if not, then Francesca would be in danger.
As he was thinking, another alarming voice from Granny came over the phone, “Oh my God, Francesca ……”
“What’s wrong what’s wrong?”
The phone never hung up, connected to the car call.
“Francesca has fallen.” The Granny held Francesca while urging Anthony, “Anthony you should come back quickly, I can’t manage it alone.”
“I want to come back right away too, but someone is following me.” Anthony’s heart was burning with anxiety.
“What kind of person?” Francesca’s weak and feeble voice came from the other end of the phone.
“It should be someone from the Lindberg family.” Anthony said anxiously, “Francesca, what should we do? If I go back now, I’ll bring them back, if not ……”
“Don’t come back.” Francesca made a decisive decision, “Lure them away.”
Anthony: “But ……”
Francesca: “Do as I say.”
Anthony: “Okay.”
