Twins in Her Womb: Sir President, Please be Gentle by Heap Heap

Chapter 973 Bad News Kept Coming

"But it's Friday tomorrow..." Bianca was a little troubled. Usually, the family would go back to Crawford Manor to

have dinner on Fridays.

Old Master Crawford adored his grandson and great-grandchildren. He was dissatisfied when Luke and the children

moved away because he would only be meeting them once a week. If they did not return to Crawford Manor the

next day, the old man would be even unhappier.

"Grandfather will understand why we're doing this. Moreover, we can invite him over to your grandfather's house.

The two old men can chat." Luke had already thought of a solution.

"Okay." Bianca nodded. She agreed with his suggestion.

The two old men enjoyed an amicable relationship ever since they first met. They could entertain themselves for an

entire afternoon over a game of chess and a pot of tea.

They might be better friends if not for that incident.

The next day, Bianca and Sue went to visit Nina during lunch hour.

The atmosphere in the private ward was calmer and more comfortable.

After the caretaker exited the ward, Bianca helped prop Nina up and said," I've brought some fish soup for you,

Nina. It'll be good for your injury.

Would you eat some?" "Okay." Nina's face was pale, and there was no color on her lips. She had not eaten much

since the day before, and she did not want her friend to worry.

Sue helped ladle some fish soup into a bowl. "Let me feed you." "It's fine. I can eat it myself." Nina did not want to

trouble others.

"Your right hand is hooked to the IV. You'd better not do that." Sue sat down next to the bed and scooped some

soup. "I didn't prepare anything, so I should at least take care of you."

Nina smiled and ate a spoonful.

Bianca sat on the couch and asked, "Did the doctor come and examine you today?" "Yes. He says that there's

nothing serious, and I can be discharged the day after tomorrow," Nina said before eating another spoonful of

soup.

"That’s good to know. It's so lonely staying in the hospital alone. You should eat more soup. I've heard that fish soup

is good for flesh wounds," Sue said.

Bianca added, "Yes. I've heard from the caretaker that you didn't eat much yesterday. That won't do, Nina. You

have to take care of your body, alright? At least do that for yourself." "Yes, I know. You two are too kind." Nina felt

that the temperature of the soup was just right, took the bowl in one hand, and gulped it down in two mouthfuls.

"Another bowl, please, Sue." "Coming right up!" Sue was happy that Nina was eating more and quickly ladled

another bowl for her.

Nina looked at Bianca and pleaded, "Bea, can you bring me to meet the doctor in charge of my mother?"

Bianca did not expect that request from Nina. "Can you get off the bed?" "I don't think I can walk too well. Can you

get me a wheelchair?" Nina said. Her father was taking care of her mother, but she was nonetheless worried about

her mother's condition.

Bianca thought for a while and nodded. "Alright, wait for me for a while. I'll go and ask for a wheelchair from the

nurse." "Thank you, Bea." Nina smiled gratefully. Sue had already cooled down the bowl of soup by stirring. Nina

took the bowl and finished it in two gulps.

Bianca came back to the ward with the wheelchair. Together with Sue, they helped Nina get off the bed and sit in

the wheelchair.

"Are you comfortable?" Bianca asked. She fastened the seatbelt for Nina in case she did not feel secure.

"I am." Nina sat in the wheelchair weakly. She looked aged.

Bianca's heart wrenched. She felt that she was partially responsible for Nina's change.

Sue secured the IV drip to the wheelchair and said, "Alright, let's go!"

Bianca pushed Nina toward the doctor's office and found Anna's doctor.

The doctor happened to be holding a medical report in his hands. He nodded when he saw them come in. "Nice

timing, Ms. Langdon. I've received a partial report from your mother's examination this morning. Come and take a

look." "Yes. Thank you, Doctor." Nina nodded and tried to cheer up.

Bianca pushed Nina inside. The doctor turned on the computer and downloaded the report. "Do you remember

what I asked you yesterday? About whether your mother has had any sudden ailments lately?" "I remember that,

but I'm not too sure about her condition because I don't live with her. As far as I know, she would suffer from

occasional pains in her abdomen and her waist. She's usually fine after taking some painkillers. The doctor in the

neighborhood clinic said that it's only some minor gastrointestinal issues," Nina said. She could sense something

ominous as she observed the doctor's expression.

The doctor nodded and said, "It's like this. I've noticed something in the patient's CT scan. There is a lump on her

liver."

Nina's heart skipped a beat. "A lump? What do you mean?" "I've shown the scan to the director, and we think that it

might be a tumor. However, we'll need to run further tests before we can conclude if it's a tumor or something

else," the doctor replied. He could not make a diagnosis just from a scan.

Nina could feel her blood freeze. ’ What would happen if it's a tumor?" "We can't say that it's a tumor yet. If it really

is, we'll have to see if it's benign or malign. Of course, we'll have to wait for the rest of the report," the doctor said.

"When will the rest of the report be out?" Nina's face was pale. The news was beyond her expectation.

She thought that her mother passed out because she was emotionally agitated. She thought that her mother was

healthy.

"Those are very specialized tests, so it'll take two more days. However, the day after tomorrow is Sunday, so the

results should be ready by Monday," the doctor estimated.

"Alright, understood. Thank you, Doctor. Also, please don't tell them about the results yet. I don't think that they can

accept it." Nina remembered that her father was not very healthy. If he knew about it, he might collapse from the

shock.

"Understood." The doctor nodded.

"I'm feeling a little dizzy, Bea. Please send me back." Nina felt her field of vision darken. Her heart was wracked by

sorrow.

Anna might have abused her ever since her brother went into prison, but she was her mother, and beneath the

resentment was love.

Nina did not understand why fate treated her so badly.

Bianca and Sue exchanged glances and said softly, "Alright, let's go back."

Back at the ward, Nina slumped on the bed and stared at Bianca. She thought that her suffering would be over

once Jean was released from prison.

Once Jean was out, someone would help her support the family. After that, Percy would eventually lose interest in

her, and her life would be better.

However, she did not expect the next bad news to strike so fast.

Tears brimmed in her eyes as Nina thought of that. She lifted her head and looked at Bianca.
