Chapter 570 Illness

After arriving at Linda's room, Jocelyn knocked on her door. "Linda, it's me, your Aunt Jocelyn. What's going on?" Having received no response, she knocked again, but to no avail. Therefore, she entered the room in haste, only to see that Linda was lying in bed unmoving. There was a stain on the floor, as if someone had vomited on it.

"Oh, Linda! What's the matter?" Jocelyn hurried over to Linda to rest a hand on her forehead. "Your temperature is so high! Are you having a fever?" With that, Jocelyn summoned the servants, while Lindsay hurried to the room as soon as she heard the commotion.

While opening her eyes semi-consciously, Linda muttered, "Grandma, Aunt Jocelyn, why are you..." Her voice was as feeble as could be.

"Hurry up! Go get the family doctor! Why didn't you inform us that you're sick?" Lindsay held Linda's hand, feeling sorry for her.

Looking weakly at Lindsay, Linda apologized, "I'm sorry, Grandma. I assumed that I would be alright. We're going back to Astoria tomorrow, so I was hoping that I would recover after getting a night's rest, but... I'm sorry to have made you worry."

"You silly child. Of course your health should take precedence over going back to Astoria!" Lindsay wept in distress, feeling sorry for Linda due to her illness and also for how mature she was for her age. "Grandma, I'm alright. I'll be fine after taking some medicine. Let's go visit Mom tomorrow."

"My poor child! Are you still thinking of going to visit your mother's grave? We'll go after you've recovered. There's no rush." With that, plans to visit Astoria were delayed due to Linda's illness. Meanwhile, back in Astoria.

Conceiving a child was an important decision, so Selena started making preparations for it. First off, she needed to do a checkup. After a detailed and thorough checkup, the results turned out to be similar compared to her previous checkup.

Having been mentally prepared for such an outcome, she wasn't too disappointed in it. Instead, she went to Wyatt directly. Although he might not be an expert in regards to her condition, he had enough medical expertise to understand the gist of it.

"Selena, I suppose the doctors have informed you of your condition." Wyatt already read through the report of her checkup.

With a smile on her face, Selena answered, "Yeah, but in a roundabout manner. I just wanted to know if there is no possibility at all for me to conceive? I know doctors will never give such a definitive statement Even if the patients are in the last stage of cancer, doctors would never want them to lose hope. But as a friend, I want you to tell me the truth, Wyatt."

Shaking his head, Wyatt explained, "In the medical field, there is no such thing as a definitive diagnosis. Therefore, nobody would dare conclude if the patient would either definitely recover, or if there was no hope left."

"So can I still conceive?"

"Why would you want to conceive again when you already have three children with Pierre?" Wyatt seemed interested in the topic.

"I don't really get it either. Perhaps because I wasn't loved when I gave birth to the three kids. Now that I have someone who loves me, I would like to do it again. I guess I don't really have an explanation for that."

Upon hearing that, Wyatt smiled in resignation. He used to hear his colleagues in the obstetrics and gynecology department laugh at the various reasons that their patients gave regarding their decision to either abort or conceive children, be it for the first time or for a second or third child. Their reasons were as amusing as they were baffling. Therefore, he didn't pry any further. "I'll introduce you to an elderly practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. You might be able to conceive if you nurse your body back to health."

Having caught on to the underlying implications in Wyatt's words, Selena knew he was telling her it would take a miracle for her to conceive.

Upon noticing the look of dejection that fleeted across her gaze, Wyatt quickly elaborated, "The elderly doctor who I'll be introducing to you isn't someone who I'll recommend to just anybody. He's old, so he won't take on just any patient. Therefore, I can't guarantee if he'll take on your case. On the contrary, him taking you on means that you should have a chance to conceive."
