Seeing the doctor's solemn expression, Rosalie asked uneasily, "Doctor, what's wrong?"

The doctor hung the stethoscope around his neck, and then said, "Your heartbeat is a bit slow. Please lie down so that I can examine you thoroughly." Rosalie nodded, and lay down on the bed.

The doctor gently touched her belly and then pressed on a specific spot.

"Ah!" Rosalie let out a cry of pain. "That hurts!"

The doctor asked, "Do you feel like you were pricked by a needle when I pressed down here?"

Rosalie nodded. "Yes. What's wrong?"

The doctor's expression grew even more serious. "Your condition has worsened. You need surgery immediately."

"What?" Sebastian immediately tensed up. "Why?"

The doctor turned to Sebastian and asked, "Did the patient get proper rest last night?"

"Well..." Sebastian glanced at Rosalie, but didn't answer for her.

Rosalie spoke up. "I went out last night, but I was in a car and a wheelchair. I didn't do any physical activity."

"Miss Young, I reminded you not to exert yourself. Even without physical activity, your emotional state is also a crucial factor! You need surgery immediately. There can be no more delays."

The doctor's words were stern and precise, making it clear that the situation was urgent.

Rosalie glanced at her phone. "What if I wait until ten o'clock?"

"Although we originally scheduled the surgery at ten, this is an emergency. The longer we wait, the higher the risk. This concerns both your safety and the baby's. If you insist on waiting until ten, the consequences could be disastrous." Hearing this, Rosalie didn't know if she was imagining it, but she started feeling unwell. "But..."

She still had to wait for Theodore's call. If she went into surgery now, what would happen if Theodore called and she couldn't answer?

Sebastian immediately stepped forward, and held her hand. "Rose, the baby is the priority now. We can't delay this any longer. Please, let the doctor perform the surgery, okay? This concerns both your safety and the baby's." "But what if Theo calls me?"

Sebastian didn't answer right away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "How about this? I'll hold onto your phone. If he calls, I'll answer and tell him everything."

"Really? You won't be angry at him? You won't..."

"No," Sebastian interrupted. "Rose, don't you trust me even in this situation? I care about you so much. How could I ever let you suffer? I swear, if Theodore calls, I'll tell him that there was an emergency, and you went into surgery early. I'll tell him you've been waiting for his call."

Sebastian tightly held her hand, his eyes reddening. "Please, Rose, don't hesitate anymore. If you don't trust me, I'll ask Yvonne to come over. You trust her, don't you?"

Seeing Sebastian's reddened eyes and his worried expression, Rosalie felt a pang of guilt. How could she have doubted him? Every time she questioned him, it must hurt him deeply.

"Seb, I trust you. If Theo calls, please tell him I've been waiting for him."

Sebastian nodded firmly. "No problem. So, do you agree to the surgery now?"

Rosalie nodded. "I agree."

She couldn't let anything happen to the baby. She couldn't risk the baby's well-being just to wait for Theodore's call. Rosalie had no choice but to make this difficult decision. She then told Sebastian the passcode of her phone.
