My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious Chapter 1086 - 996: No Child

Mu Sha's thoughts were snapped back to the present as the nurse called her name. She entered the ultrasound room, complied with the doctor's request to remove her shoes, and then lay down, lifting her shirt to reveal her abdomen.

A sudden cool sensation made her look down, noticing a peculiar substance applied to her skin. Almost immediately, a probe-like instrument began moving across her belly and abdomen.

Her heart pounded furiously. The sheer nervousness caused Mu Sha's pulse to race uncontrollably, a dreadful fear gripping her that the doctor's pronouncement would be difficult to bear.

"You are pregnant."

The doctor's declaration brought Mu Sha crashing back to reality, leaving her with an overwhelming sense of discomfort. The more she contemplated it, the more helpless she felt. Recalling the two distinct lines on the pregnancy test stick, a bitter smile touched her lips. "I didn't realize the pregnancy test was that accurate," she mused.

"Due to the early stage of pregnancy, the gestational sac is quite small, and the fetal heartbeat isn't very clear yet. You're over four weeks pregnant. It's crucial to be careful during the first three months. I'll prescribe some folic acid for you; it's free, so you can collect it at the pharmacy."

Mu Sha took the prescription note from the doctor. Grabbing a handful of tissues from the nearby box, she wiped herself haphazardly before quickly exiting the room. She was still deeply resistant to accepting the reality of her pregnancy.

"I-I really am pregnant."

Mu Sha pondered the lack of genuine affection between herself and Yan Lv. Their encounter was brief, and their marriage was an arrangement by their elders. They hadn't even shared the same room on their wedding night. The first time they had been intimate was due to an intoxicated state; Yan Lv had consumed too much, and she, being a lightweight, was drunk after a single glass.

Even though both felt a palpable awkwardness the following day, their shared experience had rendered further discussion unnecessary. From that point onward, they both adopted a tactful approach, yet their interactions remained somewhat strained.

The unexpected pregnancy left her reeling.

Mu Sha was at a loss, uncertain how to navigate this situation to ensure a perfect outcome. Her work was her passion, and she didn't want anything to jeopardize it. This child had arrived at an inopportune moment; neither she nor Yan Lv were prepared. Furthermore, her initial intention from the outset had been divorce.

Looking back, the entire situation felt rather absurd. She had never anticipated entering into marriage so swiftly; it represented a new and unexpected chapter in her life. Mu Sha was neither ready nor had she ever considered carrying this child to term.

Ultimately, Mu Sha proceeded to the pharmacy to retrieve the folic acid as prescribed by the doctor.

"This is a three-month supply. Take it as directed, and don't forget."

Mu Sha stared blankly at the two boxes of folic acid. After reviewing the instructions, she finally grasped the purpose of taking folic acid. A sudden realization dawned on her: her period was late this month, a fact she hadn't even registered, dismissing it as a simple delay.

She pulled out her phone to research the benefits of folic acid. The more she read, the more her discomfort grew, and eventually, she shoved the phone back into her bag, her heart filling with an even deeper sense of helplessness.

Seated in her private car, Mu Sha found herself instinctively reaching out to touch her belly. She had no idea where this tiny life currently resided. Yet, an undeniable emotional shift stirred within her, her feelings stirred by the presence of this child. She began to seriously consider various aspects, eventually recognizing that despite this unforeseen "accident," a flicker of anticipation had somehow taken root.

"No, no, if I continue like this, how will I proceed with my experiments?"

She couldn't help but reflect that her current experiment held significant potential in combating the AIDS virus. Moreover, being pregnant now posed undeniable risks, a fact she understood clearly. If she chose to keep the child, it would mean abandoning her research. Conversely, if she wished to continue her vital work, she would have to forgo the child.
