There have been numerous affluent women in Barnes diagnosed with similar issues who have sought treatment from this expert, and almost all have fully recovered and been blessed with children.”
Johanna scanned the expert’s profile, adorned with numerous honors and awards, and felt somewhat reassured.
Yet, having never heard of this customized medication, she was still a touch hesitant.
“Why hasn’t this medication come to my attention before?”
she queried.
The doctor nodded understandingly and elaborated, “This medication is extremely costly, out of reach for most average households.
It’s primarily marketed to the affluent demographic overseas and used by a scant few domestically.
The level of promotion for this medication is rather low, so __ it’s understandable that you haven’t come across it.
I suggested this option considering your family’s financial capacity.”
The more Johanna heard, the more appealing the option seemed.
She turned towards Natalie and asked, “What’s your perspective on this?”
The doctor’s words put hope in Natalie’s heart, pulling her out of the predicament. She immediately wanted to agree to the doctor’s suggestion.
However, she suddenly recalled Charis’ malicious gaze and Star Entertainment’s beauty pills incident. After going through that and having a pharmacist target her and Brandon, Natalie became very touchy about unknown medications and avoided them discreetly. Although the doctor before her was recommended by her mother, she still trusted Frank, a doctor who was Brandon’s friend.
Because of that, Natalie decided to consult with Frank first and inquire about the reliability of the customized medicine before determining what to do.
After all, it was always better to be safe than sorry. “Although your proposal is tempting, I want to go back and discuss it with my husband first,”
she said to the doctor. The doctor smiled meaningfully and said, “Indeed, it would be wise to consider such matters carefully.” After they left the hospital, Johanna was worried that Natalie might be inwardly upset and insisted on taking her home.
Unable to convince her mother otherwise, Natalie had to agree. Johanna kept observing Natalie’s expression during the car ride and spoke cautiously.
“Are you okay? Don’t think too much…” “Mom, I’m fine.”
Natalie laughed lightly, her clear eyes having none of the despair she was consumed with moments before.
“I am your daughter, after all.How could I let such a trivial thing defeat me?” Her words brought tears to Johanna’s eyes.
“I know you’ve always been strong, but I really feel for you…” Johanna’s voice cracked and she couldn’t hold back her tears.
The more sensible and considerate Natalie was, the worse Johanna felt.
She couldn’t help blaming and hating herself for being so careless and letting someone take advantage of her, which led to losing her daughter for nearly twenty years.
Natalie had been through so many hardships on her own. “Mom, don’t worry about it.Not being able to have kids is fine with me.Actually, I am afraid of the pain and worried that it might affect my physique,”
Natalie joked, casually taking Johanna’s hand. Johanna was amused.
“That’s nonsense,” she scolded teasingly.
Natalie shook her hand playfully and acted like a spoiled child.
“I’m even more afraid that if I had a child, they would take away all your love.So, I don’t want to have children!” Johanna was a little touched to hear that.
Natalie rarely acted so childishly.
Quickly taking her hand, she said softly, “You will always be our most beloved child, Natalie.No one could ever surpass you.”
Johanna gently tucked her hair behind her ear with a loving smile.
“You’re still young, so there’s no rush to have a child now.You can lead a carefree life for a few more years.” Natalie looked at Johanna with a thoughtful expression before quickly wiping away the single tear from the corner of her eye and said with a low chuckle, “With you two by my side, I have nothing to worry about.”
After getting off the car, Natalie waved goodbye to her mother with a smile before walking into the house.
As soon as she closed the door, her smile froze and tears began to roll down her cheeks.Her strength and toughness vanished instantly With her back against the door, she stared at the medical report in her hand multiple times.She felt as if a giant hand was crushing her chest, suffocating her.
“Why? Why does this have to happen to me?”
Natalie collapsed to the floor weakly, her eyes red as she cried in agony, “What did I do wrong? Why is this happening to me?”
However, no one could answer her desperate cry.

As the clock struck six in the twilight, Brandon, weary from a long day at work, nudged the door open and entered his abode.
On the brink of illuminating the room with a flick of the switch, a curled-up shape on the sofa flashed at the edge of his vision. Natalie sat there, a terrified creature trapped within her own emotions, quaking in the corner of the sofa.
It seemed as though a shadow of immense sorrow had swept over her.
Her delicate frame trembled subtly and the faint echoes of her sobs hung in the room. This was the premiere act of her silent sorrow and despair he had ever witnessed. A surge of anguish twisted his heart.
With brisk strides, he closed the distance between them, his hands landing gently on her shoulders, and his voice rang with urgency.
“Natalie, what’s the matter? What happened?” Slowly, like the lifting of a tragic mask, Natalie raised her face, cheeks glistening with the tracks of her tears. With a brave heart, she attempted to shield Brandon from her distress.
She stifled a sniffle and contorted her features into an awkward grin, managing to utter, “I’m alright…” Witnessing her forced sense of maturity, Brandon’s heart shattered even more. He crouched down, cupping her tear-stained cheeks, his thumb tracing the wet trails away as he softly interrogated, “Can you confide in me about your tears? Have you been harassed, or are you unwell? Why didn’t you alert me?”
Inundated by Brandon’s flurry of inquiries, Natalie felt slightly overwhelmed.
But the palpable concern laced in his questions stirred warmth within her. “I promise, I’m okay.”
Natalie burrowed herself into Brandon’s comforting embrace, nuzzling affectionately into his chest.
“You must be starving, right? Shall I whip up something for you?” Her attempt to distract him was transparent to Brandon, a seasoned businessman.
