    "Just answer me this: aside from terminating the pregnancy, is there any other way to protect both mother and child? Quick, tell me!" Sebastian yelled.


    The doctor said after a moment''s thought, "There is one way-intrauterine blood transfusion! Insert a tube into the fetus''s umbilical cord or centa to directly provide blood for the fetus and physically control the loss of blood in the womb. This is an emergency measure to preserve the fetus''s life, and is usually only taken when the fetus''s life is under severe threat. Although this method can increase the fetus''s survival rate, given Mrs. Carter''s condition right now, failure would result in the baby''s death by fetal hypoxia. Mrs. Carter''s life may be at risk, too!"


    Sydney immediately asked, “In other words, Rose will be fine if we terminate the pregnancy, but the baby will be gone. If we forcefully try to keep the baby, failure would mean that both mother and child will die. Is that right?"


    The doctor nodded. "Yes. That''s why our suggestion would be to terminate the pregnancy and prioritize the safety of the mother."


    Although the doctor mentioned prioritizing the mother''s safety, Rosalie told all the doctors before the surgery to keep the baby no matter what happens.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Now that Rosalie was unconscious and without the ability to make a decision, they needed Sebastian to make the decision just to be on the safe side. "Sebastian!" Sydney grabbed his arm, her nails sinking in his flesh. "Why are you spacing out? Save Rosalie! Do you even need to think about it? Quick, say something!"


    Sydney was infuriated. If she could make the decision, she would immediately have the doctor terminate the pregnancy.


    Yet now, Sebastian was the only one who could make the decision. They were legally married.


    Although Rosalie was carrying her biological grandchild, Rosalie''s life was of utmost priority. They could let the mother and child both die just for the chance of keeping the baby!


    Sydney was distraught.


    Rosalie''s words rang in Sebastian''s mind.


    "I''ll live if the baby lives. If I wake up and find the baby gone, I''ll take my life."


    Sebastian shut his eyes in pain.


    "Mr. Carter, you have to make a decision right now. We''re running out of time and Mrs. Carter cannot afford to wait!" the doctor urged him anxiously. "We''ll do the intrauterine blood transfusion!"


    Sebastian opened his eyes, and said, "Save both mother and child!"


    Sydney was stunned by Sebastian''s decision.


    "Sebastian Carter, do you know what you''re saying?"


    "I do," Sebastian said to the doctor. "I said we''ll do the intrauterine blood transfusion. My wife would choose the same if she were conscious. Please, save her and the baby."


    Sebastian''s hand trembled as he signed on the indemnity agreement.


    "We''ll do our best."


    The doctor rushed into the operating theater at the speed of light with the indemnity agreement in hand.


    Sebastian''s head was buzzing as he stumbled a few steps back.


    What did he just do?


    t belongs to e


    He loved Rosalie so much, but this decision might cause him to lose her.


    He should have chosen to save Rosalie instead.


    But if he were to choose to


    terminate the pregnancy, she might take her own life and even hate him her whole life, even if she were to wake


    up safe and sound.


    He would lose all chance of her loving him.


    He promised her that he would protect the baby. He had to keep his word!


    Even if he had to betray everyone under the sun, he would never betray Rosalie.


    Just then, Sydney smacked him across the face hard, the sharp sound ringing through the air.


    “Sebastian Carter, are you crazy?! Do you know what you''re doing? You''re killing Rose!"
