Revenge Against My Ex-husband

Chapter 203 Two Sons

Although she was surprised by Lily's behavior, the obstetrician was smart too. She immediately took

Lily's weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and acted busy.

Edric had been standing aside and watching Lily while she did the examinations. After the doctor's

checkup had come to an end, he began to ask the doctor about Lily's condition in detail.

The doctor told Edric that the baby was in good condition and healthy. Edric was joyful when he heard

this, "She looked so slim so I was worried about her health. I'm feel totally relieved now after hearing

your words."

When Lily heard that Edric cared about her, she felt warmth in her heart. Edric then asked the doctor if

he could know the babies' gender at that moment.

There was a rule in the hospital saying that they were not allowed to reveal the baby's gender.

However, Edric's status was not like others. The obstetrician did an ultrasound for Lily. She said that

because of the babies' position, it was not clear enough to see, but they should be two boys. Edric was

elated upon hearing this, "Are they really two boys? You're not kidding me, right? Even if they aren't

both boys, they have to at least be fraternal twins. There are only a few males in the Myers family. I

was hoping that my son could lead the family."

This was the first time that Edric had so formally talked about the gender of the babies in front of Lily.

She had never cared much about her child's gender before. However, now that she saw that Edric

valued their babies' gender, she began to care about it as well.

The Myers family only had one male descendent every generation, and they naturally preferred boys

more than girls. That was why Margaret liked Eden so much. As for Lily, she had also hoped that she

was pregnant with either two sons or at least one son and one daughter. That way, she would have an

advantage in both her status and in the family's inheritance. If she was pregnant with two daughters, it

would be totally different. With Irene's son standing in the way, even if she could win Edric's affection,

she might not necessarily be able to take control over the Myers Group.

Lily kept this in her mind. When Edric went out to answer a call, she lowered her voice and asked the

doctor, "Are they really two boys?"

"No, the ultrasound is not clear enough because of the babies' positions. I assumed that he liked boys, Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

so I said that they had to be two boys," the doctor replied.

Lily was very disappointed upon hearing that. The doctor lowered her voice and said, "Let's wait for

some time and do it again."

"Is there any way to accurately determine the babies' gender?" Lily asked again.

"Yes, your current situation is suitable for amniocentesis and a blood test. The accuracy rate is 99%,"

the doctor peered outside.

Lily nodded and planned to go back and discuss with her mother regarding the amniocentesis and the

blood test to confirm the babies' gender. It would be best if they were two boys or at least one of them

would be, but if they were two daughters, she had to find a way to make up for it as soon as possible.

With such a plan in mind, she warned the doctor in a low voice, "Don't forget to tell him later that it's not

easy for me to have a baby. Let him be worried so that he'll accompany me more often to check ups in

the future."

Naturally, the doctor promised. After a while, Edric ended his call and came in. The doctor remembered

Lily's instructions and told Edric that although the children looked healthy, the mother, on the other

hand, was not in good health, so he had to pay more attention to Lily.

After listening to Lily's words, the doctor's words were intended to make Edric care more about Lily due

to her babies. However, she did not expect that Edric would become anxious after hearing this, and he

asked, "Will her health affect the babies?"

The doctor did not expect that her words would make Edric worry about the babies. She immediately

answered, "No, the babies are in good condition. You don't have to worry."

"How can I not be worried?" Edric retorted, "Didn't you say that her health was not good? Her poor

health will definitely affect the babies. Lily is now pregnant with two children. Also, I remember that

during her previous checkup, she was ill as well. No, this is too risky. I have to ensure that there is

nothing wrong with my children's health."

"Edric, I don't think there will be a problem with the children," Lily said.

"Can't I worry? We must exclude all the unfavorable factors. One of the female employees in our

company's finance department had given birth to a child with mental disability because she did not do

her check ups properly…" Speaking of this, Edric paused, turned his head and asked the doctor in a

strict tone, "You are Lily's doctor. Let me ask you, can you guarantee that the children in her stomach

will not be mentally or physically disabled?"

Edric's face was serious and his tone was cold. The doctor felt a little nervous. Although the chances of

disability were not plausible, there was still a chance of it occurring. If anything happened to the

children in the future, she would be in deep trouble. She could not guarantee anything.

"I can't be sure of that. It's just that in general, disabilities are usually because of genetics that are

hereditary in the family, or when a pregnant woman comes in contact with something poisonous. In this

case, Miss Miller and you don't have any family history of having disabilities, so the chances of the

babies having disabilities are low."

"That's hard to say. Lily has always been in poor health. She has taken so much medicine. Won't the

medicine have any bad effects on the children? I'm still worried, so we have to approach this carefully,"

Edric still insisted, "Do you have any way to examine the chances of disability?"

When Lily realized that Edric was being serious, she grew afraid. She hinted at the doctor, but under

Edric's threatening gaze, the doctor dared not play any tricks. She said, "If you are worried, I can

arrange an amniocentesis for her, but since she is pregnant with twins, there will be a certain risk. I

think we should be cautious."

"Edric, the children are fine. I think it's better to not do it," Lily looked pitiful, and her heart was beating

fast. Was Edric planning something against her?

Edric looked at Lily gently and said, "I know the chances may not be huge, but aren't you in poor

health? I'm very worried about you. For our children, it'd better to check it out, and it would make me

feel more at ease."

For the first time, Edric was so gentle and said that he was worried about her. Not only that, he even

referred to the babies as 'our children'. Lily felt sweetness piling in her heart, so her objection was not

so strong anymore.

Edric then instructed the doctor, "Arrange for the amniocentesis immediately!"

The doctor hesitated for a moment and looked at Lily, she said, "The amniocentesis needs to be

scheduled in advance, and there are many people who are doing it..."

Before she could even finish her words, Edric made a phone call, "Director Casady, is it you? I'm Edric

Myers. I'd like to do an amniocentesis for my child's mother. Please arrange one for me, and ensure

that the doctor has great surgical experience."

Naturally, Director Casady fulfilled Edric's request. He immediately arranged for Dr. Chilton, the

hospital's expert, to perform an operation for Lily. Before the amniocentesis, one had to do a blood test

for Hepatitis B, syphilis, AIDS and some other blood examinations. One also needed to do an

ultrasound to check on the baby's development. Lily had done those blood tests before, so she was

brought to the operating room directly by Dr. Chilton.

Dr. Chilton first did an ultrasound check on Lily's babies. The two babies were in good condition, so Dr.

Chilton told the nurse to start the preparations. The nurse took the transducer and laid it on top of the

uterus to monitor the babies' condition, and then disinfected Lily's stomach. Dr. Chilton prepared the

needle for the operation and told Lily to close her eyes and not watch.

Lily secretly glanced down. The needle was more than ten centimeters long. She was so scared that

she closed her eyes immediately. Dr. Chilton was a master in the field. He touched Lily's stomach and

inserted the needle into it without hesitation.

As he was afraid that Lily would not feel the pain, around a minute later, Dr. Chilton took 20 millimeters

of amniotic fluid and the whole operation was over.

After taking the amniotic fluid, Dr. Chilton did another ultrasound. He also let Lily take a look at the

babies' heartbeat, which was beating vigorously, proving that there was no problem with them. Dr.

Chilton told Lily to take care of herself and to rest more in bed. She was not allowed to take a bath on

that day as well, and helped Lily stand up.

After Lily got up, Edric came in. With tears in her eyes, Lily rushed to Edric and said, "The needle was

so long. I was so scared just now!"

Edric held her and said in a gentle voice, "You've suffered for the sake of our children."

Lily originally wanted to continue rubbing into Edric's arms, but Edric helped her sit on the chair instead

and turned to Dr. Chilton to ask about the operation. Dr. Chilton said that there would only be results in

about two weeks. He would call Edric to inform him once the results were ready. Edric thanked Dr.

Chilton and left the hospital with Lily.

Edric had never been so caring. He even personally opened the car door for Lily and asked the driver

who drove Lily to the hospital to drive slowly. All his actions made Lily very moved.

After Lily left, Edric turned around and got into his car. After getting in the car, his face suddenly turned

frigid.

Although he had suspected that the babies in Lily's stomach were not his, he was not completely

certain. As the saying went, it is always wise to play safe. He had to figure out the matter before he

could be at ease.

Edric naturally knew that it was part of Lily's plan to come to the hospital, so he had deliberately

changed his attitude to accompany her to the checkup. He had investigated the doctor before and

knew that she was under Marie's arrangement, so he had purposely asked about the babies' gender

and pretended that he wanted a son.

Truth be told, he was not interested in the babies' gender at all. The purpose of doing so was just to let

Lily think that he cared about the children and that she had a chance.

Edric had looked into some information. Lily was pregnant for more than four months, so he could

check their DNA by taking some amniotic fluid. He had treated Lily coldly before. In order to not let her

suspect him, he pretended to accompany her for the check up to get Lily's trust so that he could carry

out his own plan.

Originally, Edric had thought that it would have taken a few more days for her to take the

amniocentesis, but he did not expect that Lily's doctor would say that she was in poor health. Edric had

the sudden idea to take the opportunity to arrange the test with the excuse of checking for the chances

of disabilities.

Over the years in San Fetillo, Edric had been in touch with people from all walks of life. The dean of the

hospital had a good relationship with him, so he would definitely meet all of his requests.

When Dr. Chilton was doing the operation for Lily, Edric had greeted the dean and asked him to keep

some of Lily's amniotic fluid for him. He had already obtained it, and now he was waiting to compare it

with the samples he had provided.

Edric's heart was not completely at ease. He had to get someone to keep an eye on the situation, so

he called John and asked him to supervise the matter personally.

A few days later, Edric received the DNA results and it turned out the children that Lily was carrying

were not his. Seeing this result, Edric breathed a long sigh of relief. He took the results. At least the

truth had come out. He went to look for Irene. Irene saw the results and was silent for a moment, "What

are you going to do now? Are you going to tell Lily about this result?"

Edric shook his head, "These are the children she had schemed to give birth to. I have to let her

succeed anyhow. Even if I tell her now that these children aren't mine, she may not believe it. Have you

forgotten Lily's current situation as well? If she got rid of these two children, she'll lose the chance of

becoming a mother for the rest of her life."

"But isn't this too…" Irene did not continue. If Lily knew that everything she had schemed was in vain,

how disappointed would she be? Would she collapse because of this?

"Irene, I know what you're trying to say. This is karma. If you keep on being kind to your enemies, you'll

be cruel to yourself too," Edric sneered, "My mother has become like this because of them. I won't let

any of them get away with this! Just you wait and watch!"
