One day, a woman with a huge baby bump visited a private clinic. But when the doctor asked her how far along in her pregnancy she was, she claimed she was not pregnant. The doctor was perplexed\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cCan I please see the doctor? I don\u2019t feel well,\u201d Anna said as she came to a halt at the clinic\u2019s reception desk.<\/p>\n
The manager, Lily, immediately helped her take a seat and gently answered, \u201cSure, ma\u2019am. Dr. Linda Carter will be here in a few minutes. She\u2019s the best gynecologist, and I\u2019m sure she\u2019ll be able to help you out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna gave a weird look at the manager. \u201cI\u2019m not pregnant. I just came here for a general checkup, so please refer me to a physician.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily was taken aback. She\u2019d been working at the hospital for a while and had seen a lot of pregnant women. She couldn\u2019t believe Anna wasn\u2019t expecting a child.<\/p>\n
\u201cMa\u2019am, if you\u2019re scared about something, let me tell you, there\u2019s nothing to worry about,\u201d Lily assured Anna. \u201cYou must just be anxious because it\u2019s your first pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCan\u2019t you understand I\u2019m not pregnant?\u201d Anna retorted. \u201cSchedule an appointment with a general physician, or I\u2019ll go to some other clinic.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lily didn\u2019t say anything after that. She assumed the woman was suffering from some other illness that she didn\u2019t want to share. So she assigned her to a doctor and gave her the details.<\/p>\n
\u201cHere are the details, ma\u2019am,\u201d Lily said as she handed over a slip to Anna. \u201cSecond door on the right, 4th floor.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna almost snatched the paper and started walking towards the elevator. However, just as she was about to enter, she felt dizzy and collapsed on the ground. When she finally opened her eyes, she found herself in Dr. Carter\u2019s clinic.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you feeling better now?\u201d Dr. Carter asked Anna when she woke up.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, doctor,\u201d Anna replied quietly. \u201cAre you the general physician?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, I\u2019m a gynecologist, so you\u2019re in safe hands, don\u2019t worry,\u201d Dr. Carter replied with a smile. \u201cBy the way, how far along are you?\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment Anna heard the term gynecologist, she lost her cool. \u201cHow many times do I have to tell this clinic that I am not pregnant! Why are you so eager to declare me pregnant?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Carter looked at her, confused. \u201cWell, ma\u2019am, I am a doctor, so I can tell that by experience. But I have conducted some tests to see if it\u2019s a false pregnancy because I learned from Lily that you were insisting on not being pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna started removing the saline drip attached to her and glared at Dr. Carter. \u201cYeah, sure, you can look at the results, but I don\u2019t want to. I\u2019m leaving.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBut ma\u2019am, you\u2019re weak, don\u2019t do that,\u201d Dr. Carter said, trying to stop Anna. But in the process, Anna went into labor. Indeed, she was pregnant and now, she couldn\u2019t handle the pain.<\/p>\n
She kept screaming as she held her belly, and Dr. Carter realized she had been lying to her. She immediately instructed Lily to prepare for delivery and ran to collect the reports.<\/p>\n
When Lily finally saw them, she realized she was right. Anna was eight months pregnant. However, she was perplexed why Anna would try to hide the pregnancy. But before that, the delivery needed to be done safely as the baby would be born prematurely.<\/p>\n
Dr. Carter quickly rushed to the operation room, and a few moments later, she successfully delivered Anna\u2019s baby girl. However, because of the complications, the baby was immediately admitted to the NICU.<\/p>\n
When Anna was brought to the regular ward after the delivery, Dr. Carter went to meet her. \u201cYour baby will be fine, but she needs to be kept under supervision for a month,\u201d she told Anna.<\/p>\n
Anna\u2019s eyes were on the verge of tearing up. She didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you tell me at least now why you keep denying the pregnancy?\u201d Dr. Carter asked. \u201cJust imagine if I hadn\u2019t stopped you. Both you and your child would have been in danger!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m sorry, doctor,\u201d Anna finally broke her silence. \u201cBut my husband found out that this baby was a girl and\u2026\u201d Anna couldn\u2019t stop crying as she explained to Dr. Carter why she didn\u2019t want the pregnancy to be revealed.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d Dr. Carter assured her. \u201cYou can tell me everything. I won\u2019t tell anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Anna wiped her tears and continued, \u201cMy husband threatened he would do anything he could to prevent the child\u2019s birth.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had nowhere to go as I was born and raised in an orphanage. I thought about fleeing the city, but I wasn\u2019t feeling well since morning, so I wanted to consult a physician and ask if I could travel,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there was no point in hiding it from me,\u201d Dr. Carter said. \u201cI would have protected your daughter at all costs!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, doctor, your husband and my husband, James, know each other quite well. They were classmates in high school. When we first came to the clinic a few months ago, I learned about this. That\u2019s why I was hesitant to seek your advice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Carter hugged Anna and promised her that she would help her get out of the ugly situation. She called the cops and informed them about everything. Thankfully, James was arrested the same day for what he\u2019d done, and Anna was freed from her toxic relationship.<\/p>\n
A month later, Anna was discharged from the hospital, and she started staying with Dr. Carter. She helped Anna find a job at the clinic\u2019s maternity ward, and since Dr. Carter and her husband couldn\u2019t have a child, they loved Anna\u2019s daughter, Mary as their own.<\/p>\n
