    In the midst of the emergency, Dr. Andrews stepped out to update Gregory on the situation.


    "I''ve done everything within my power; the rest is up to Dr. Smith."


    "Though Dr. Smith mentioned treatment is possible, he''s not a miracle worker. If the patient can''t ovee her inner turmoil, even he can''t guarantee the child''s safety."


    Gregory''s hands, hanging by his sides, clenched into fists. His jawline tightened, a sharp contour of determination and fear.


    After a few seconds of heavy silence, he spoke up, "Save or not, Jane is our priority right now."


    Christine caught the storm of emotions brewing in Gregory''s eyes.


    She couldn''t fullyprehend it.


    Yet, she always knew such depth of feeling was part of Gregory''s very essence.


    It was as if every bone in his body was shattered.


    "There has to be a way," Christine turned away, fighting back tears, "Jane is strong. She''s just struggling toe to terms with it all. Plus, she said she wouldn''t give up on this child, Gregory. You need to hang in there too."


    "Besides, Jane just lost her grandmother. Losing this child would break herpletely."


    Dailey reached out to wipe her tears but was brushed aside once more.


    He turned to Gregory, adding, "Christine''s right. We need to do everything we can to save the child."


    Now wasn''t the time for conflict, Christine thought, following his lead. "With the funeral today, she''s definitely not in a good ce. Once she wakes up, I''ll have a proper talk with her."


    "She''s just not thinking clearly right now. A good talk, and she might see things differently."


    Gregory understood all too well.


    Yet, he couldn''t bear to see her suffer anymore.


    Pregnancy was hard enough.


    The repeated miscarriage scares had taken an irreversible toll on her body.


    With such a blow to her spirit, forcing herself to endure for the sake of the child might drive her to the brink.


    And ifplications aroseter in the pregnancy, it could cause even greater harm.


    Reluctantly, he was prepared to cut losses.


    "Dr. Andrews, if we can''t save it, don''t force it. I just want her to be safe and healthy."


    "Gregory!"


    "Greg."


    Christine shot Dailey a warning


    nce before addressing Dr.


    Andrews, "If Jane is conscious


    needs to be consulted. It''s her right."


    "Gregory, as much as you''re worried about Jane, you can''t make this


    decision alone. After all, this is I


    your child."


    Gregory remained silent, understanding the gravity of the situation.


    Dr. Andrews nodded, acknowledging theplexity of the matter, and returned to the emergency room.


    ...


    Edith left the church as night fell.


    Herbert had been following her, which was annoying.


    But seeking a blessing, faith was key.


    She treated him as a stranger, avoiding conversation to prevent any argument.


    Though he was always silent, never one to start a fight.


    "It''s getting dark, and this area is secluded. Follow my car."


    "Or you could ride with me, and I''ll have someone drive yours back."


    Edith didn''t respond. Now he decides to speak up?


    She got into her car and sped off, leaving Herbert behind.


    Herbert''s lips tightened as he quickly followed.


    ...


    The emergency procedurested six hours.


    When Edith arrived at the hospital, it was still ongoing.


    She took Ike, who had fallen asleep in Christine''s arms.


    "Thanks for looking after him."


    Christine stretched her sore arms, shaking her head, "It''s nothing, we''re family."


    Edith handed her a blessed charm, "I


    got


    the everyone. Give one to


    ?


    keep one for yourself."


    "Will do."

    Christine kept one for herself, handed two to Gregory, and then went to Be''s side.
