To the Love of My Life

Chapter 658: Chapter 658: Syrup, Candy, Sugar (8)

It wasn’t until Ruby Gregory felt as if she were about to faint from the intense pressure that the elderly chief physician put away her instruments and nodded to Dr. Madris: “Indeed, we made a mistake.”

Then she turned her body, and spoke with a hint of apology: “Ms. Gregory, I’m really sorry. We made some errors during your previous prenatal examination…”

Although she was saying words of apology, Ruby could clearly hear a trace of surprise in the chief physician’s voice: “Ms. Gregory, you are not carrying twins, but triplets.”

It wasn’t a problem with the babies… Ruby was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she realized what the doctor had just told her.

Not twins, but triplets… she was pregnant with triplets… triplets…

As the word “triplets” filled Ruby’s fuzzy mind, she heard the doctor excitedly say, “We just saw that there were two fetuses on the cross-sectional image, so we thought they were twins. That’s why when we listened to the fetal heartbeats and heard two different beats, we didn’t pay much attention. This is our negligence as doctors, and I apologize for it. If Dr. Madris hadn’t seen five little hands on the B-Scan Ultrasonography image today, we probably wouldn’t have noticed this, and it might not have been discovered until you gave birth.”

“Yes, Ms. Gregory, you can’t imagine how shocked I was. I thought one of the babies had an extra hand! Afterward, I spent a lot of effort and looked closely for a long time, vaguely thinking there was a small head behind the two babies. Then I went to find the director, and her experience is richer than mine, sure enough, it is triplets.”

As Dr. Madris spoke, she pointed out the cross-sectional image to Ruby. True enough, Ruby could see a round shadow on the area Dr. Madris was pointing to, and it did look like a baby’s small head.

“Ms. Gregory, you are really lucky to have triplets. It’s a good thing we found out early, otherwise, there might have been some risks during delivery. Ms. Gregory, let me tell you, it’s best to have a cesarean section, not a natural birth. The danger is greater with three babies.”

After hearing everything, Ruby’s mind finally made a slight turn. Although she had not yet fully accepted that she went from carrying twins to triplets, she still asked the doctor, “What about my babies? Are they all healthy?”

“Healthy, all very healthy, Ms. Gregory. Please don’t worry.”

Ruby finally calmed down a bit after hearing that the babies were healthy, and then walked out of the gynecological department somewhat dazed.

Seeing Ruby come out, Steve Burton immediately stood up and welcomed her: “Is the prenatal examination over? What’s the result?” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ruby’s mind was completely filled with “triplets,” and she didn’t even pay attention to Steve’s question. Instead, she looked straight ahead and walked toward the elevator.

Steve was frightened by Ruby’s appearance and intuitively thought there might be a problem with the babies in her stomach. He didn’t dare make a sound and carefully followed Ruby’s side, watching the road ahead while observing her expression.

When Ruby almost collided with someone for the fourth time, Steve finally embraced her directly and held her in his arms, leading her out of the hospital building.
