Chapter 1455
Fortunately, Bernard had just returned home when Eleanor took a tumble in the bathroom
just before her shower. He managed to get her to the hospital in the nick of time, where
she regained consciousness without major complications. However, Bernard’s worry
wouldn’t let up, and he insisted that Dr. Amelia conduct a thorough check-up.
Throughout her pregnancy, Eleanor had only had the most basic prenatal care, without the
regular screenings that were typical. They had no clear picture of her current health
status.
As Dr. Amelia reviewed Eleanor’s medical history, a chill ran down her spine. Eleanor had
been through major surgeries, not just once but multiple times. She even had a heart
transplant, and there were issues with her vision that raised red flags.
Given Eleanor’s condition, a normal delivery seemed out of the question, especially with
the onset of pregnancy-induced hypertension. Dr. Amelia knew that if Eleanor didn’t have

there might be a chance for a safe delivery. But as things stood, a natural birth was far too
risky.
While Dr. Amelia debated how to break the news to Bernard, a call came in. It was Blake.
Aware of the situation and eager to avoid alarming Bernard, he ordered Dr. Amelia to keep
the couple in the dark until after the baby was born.
Dr. Amelia could tell that Blake had long known about the risks involved in Eleanor’s
delivery. She was exasperated, “Mr. Blake, Eleanor is in a dire state. With her
hypertension, forcing a normal delivery could very well cost her her life.
While Dr. Amelia had the skills to save the baby via C-section, the mother’s survival was
far from guaranteed. Hemorrhage and complications could be deadly. Blake, however,
coldly replied, “She’s over seven months along. Terminating the pregnancy now is just as
risky. Let’s focus on treatment after the birth.”
Dr. Amelia knew that by then, it might be too late, but it was clear Blake cared more about
the great-grandchild than the mother.
Caught between professional ethics and family hierarchy, Dr. Amelia made a decision.
Despite the potential backlash from Blake, her allegiance was to her patient and current
head of the Laurence family, Bernard.
After consulting with a panel of experts, Dr. Amelia presented her findings to Bernard, “Mr.
Laurence, after reviewing the test results and consulting with specialists, it’s clear that
your wife’s condition makes it unsafe for her to give birth.”
Bernard, flipping through the reports, paused and locked eyes with the medical team. His
gaze was icy, his presence intimidating, “What are you saying?”

“Mr. Laurence” Dr. Amelia replied, holding her ground despite the pressure, it means that
childbirth poses a serious risk to her life”
The words hit Bernard like a thunderclap, leaving hum rooted to the spot, a statue in a

After a long cold stare, Bernard crumpled the report in his hand. Before the pregnancy her

Dr. Amelia’s mentor, Keith, had been a renowned authority in gynecology and had
greenlighted the pregnancy. However, knowing the risks and still choosing to aid Blake in
his deception was where Keith failed in his duty
Dr. Amelia didn’t argue her medical competence but gently reminded Bernard, Mr.
Laurence, it’s possible for her to carry to term, but there’s significant risk involved during
delivery My teacher must have mentioned this to you before?”
After Dr. Amelia’s nudge, Bernard quickly pieced things together. His expression turned
stormy, as if the crumpled report in his hand could disintegrate under the force of his
anger
