Chapter 632: 632. Termination of Pregnancy_1

Elly Campbell furrowed her brows as she looked at Helen Melendy, her frown deepening by the moment, yet she didn’t directly promise her anything, but said:

"You should lie down and rest for now, I’ll go get you something to eat and come back."

Having said that, she pulled open the door of the ward and walked out.

When she came out of the ward, Elly’s mood was somewhat complicated.

Regarding Helen’s child, she didn’t know what the right thing to do was.

If Helen was adamant about not letting Harry Hall know about the child, then what right did she have to take it upon herself to tell Harry?

But the child was partly Harry’s, why should he not take any responsibility after enjoying himself and let Helen bear it all alone?

Abortion comes with risks, and given Helen’s current condition, what if there were an accident or complications from the abortion?

Elly’s mind was in turmoil.

After buying food for Helen Melendy, she ran into Chief Wood from the Gynecology Department.

"Chief."

"Elly, you’ve come at the right time. I actually have something to discuss with you."

Seeing the serious expression on Chief Wood’s face, Elly’s heart skipped a beat.

She followed Chief Wood to her office, and as soon as she sat down, Elly immediately began:

"Chief Wood, is there another issue with Helen Melendy’s fetus?"

"We can’t worry about the fetus for now. Here is Helen Melendy’s uterine biopsy result. She has early-stage lesions in her uterus, and we must arrange surgery immediately."

Chief Wood handed the lab results to Elly Campbell.

Elly herself was a doctor, so she understood the results and knew what early-stage uterine lesions meant.

If they didn’t opt for surgery, waiting until the condition worsened, Helen could lose her life.

Elly’s feelings were complicated, as she understood what this implied.

"She must terminate the pregnancy immediately, then we’ll arrange subsequent surgery for her."

Elly left Chief Wood’s office and, on her way to find Helen Melendy, couldn’t shake the chief’s words from her mind.

Thinking of the child in Helen’s womb, she had just been struggling with whether or not to inform Harry Hall of its existence, and now, Chief Wood had told her that the child must be aborted.

She was a mother herself, and it had taken so much effort to give birth to William in the past.

Thinking of the child that was about to be aborted, Elly felt a bitter taste in her heart.

When she arrived back at the ward, Helen Melendy was staring blankly from the bed, managing a faint smile from the corners of her mouth when she saw Elly come in.

"Eat something first, look how thin you’ve become."

"Thank you, Elly."

Helen Melendy took the nutritious meal Elly had bought with a forced smile, trying to make her expression look a little more relaxed.

Elly watched silently as Helen’s pale face twitched with the effort to smile, knowing she couldn’t keep the truth about the uterine lesions from Helen. After she finished whatever was in her bowl, Elly steeled herself and began, "Chief Wood was looking for me just now and told me about your condition."

The smile at the corner of Helen’s lips stiffened slightly, and seeing the deep furrow in Elly’s brow, she knew what Elly was about to say was not so simple.

"What is it? Just tell me, why all the hesitation?"

Elly pressed her lips tightly before saying, "Your uterine biopsy showed early-stage lesions, and you need to have surgery as soon as possible."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the smile on Helen’s lips froze, even that forced smile becoming immobile, unable to muster any longer.
