“Of course, I trust that you love me. How could I ever think that way…”
Lucinda distanced herself from him, got off the bed, and wanted to take her leave.

Nathan quickly grasped her from behind, held her tightly, placed his head on her shoulder, and explained, “You’ve misunderstood me. They were conceived while the virus was still in my body. There’s a high Likelihood they’ll be born with complications, and you might even get infected too.
The only known cure has already been administered to me. Even if there’s a small amount left, it’s not enough and it’s definitely impossible for you to be vaccinated since you’re pregnant. I’m genuinely… I can’t bear to risk your life.”
Gradually, Lucinda began to calm down.
He went on, “So maybe… We should consider letting them go.”
“How do you propose we get rid of them?” She calmly turned to face him.

“In some foreign countries, there’s a drug called Mifepristone that’s suitable for early pregnancy abortion. It causes the least harm to your body. After some recovery time, you’ll bounce back quickly. And once you’ve recovered, we can try for a new baby, alright?”
Lucinda gave no response.
She stared at the ultrasound image of their babies and fell into silence, lost in her thoughts for a long while.
Initially, when she first learned of her pregnancy, she thought she wasn’t ready to become a mother. But now after a few weeks, she eagerly anticipated their arrival.
Yet, Nathan had callously sentenced them to death.
“Lucinda?”
Nathan nervously held her hands, his eyes filled with unease.
After pondering for a while, she asked, “Have you talked to Dr.
Yusuf? Did he confirm that our children will definitely be infected with the virus?”
“He mentioned that there’s a possibility, but it can only be confirmed once they’re born. But I can’t put your life at risk.
Letting them go is the safest option.”
His words gave Lucinda a new idea.
“Since it’s only a possibility, I believe our babies and I will be fortunate enough to survive! Besides, when they injected you with serum, they kept a sample for further research. Even if we do have the virus, I trust the doctors and Hilliard to make developments on the research by then and ensure our safety!”
Lucinda held Nathan’s hand and guided it to her belly.
“Since God has blessed us with these two children, we should love and protect them. If we give them up, even if we have more babies in the future, they won’t be them.”
Nathan gently rubbed her belly.
Currently, he couldn’t feel the presence of the babies at all, but his apprehension remained unabated.
