Sometimes he frowned and shook his head, sometimes he nodded and sighed.
Kayla, who was sitting opposite him, felt very uncomfortable and grabbed my hand.
She clenched it so hard that my hand hurt.
After a while, Owen let go of his hand.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke.
"Your pregnancy is indeed a bit tricky. The fetus does not absorb nutrients well in the body and is difficult to be born."
After saying that, he shook his head, looking like he was powerless.
That was quite true.
Kayla loosened her grip on my hand and stood up suddenly.
It looked like she was about to cry.
Owen raised his hand to stop her and changed the subject. "But I have a medicine that can cure your disease.
"Would you like to take it?"
Reasonable persons could tell that Owen was lying. And only Kayla, who was deeply involved in it, would believe him.
"Of course, Doctor Hall. I'll take it no matter how much it costs!
"Please, you must keep my baby alive."
Kayla almost cried. Her voice choked with sobs.
She then pulled out two stacks of cash from her bag.
Owen smiled and remained unmoved.
She gritted her teeth and took out three more stacks of cash.
