What?
Sabrina was nonplussed.
Standing in the doorway, Devin hurried over when he heard that.
“More than eight months? Doctor, how do you know?”
“Look here. The baby’s head circumference and bone development show the pregnancy is over eight months. Mr.
Jadeson, I think your wife might have gotten the date wrong. Has she had any prenatal checkup before?”
The doctor pointed at the ultrasound image of the fetus.
Devin couldn’t take his eyes off the image.
Is this my baby?
Gazing at the fetus on the screen, he felt his heart pounding as he stared at the fetus on the screen. Even his
fingers quivered slightly.
That was an innate, fatherly love.
“Mr. Jadeson?”
“Yeah, she probably remembers the date wrongly… It should be the twenty-third of July.”
Devin snapped out of his trance. His ears turned red as he mentioned a date with certainty.
Right after he spoke, Sabrina, who was on the bed, turned to shoot daggers at him.

Her eyes widened instantly, and a glint of disbelief flashed across them. He remembered because they spent that
night in Coldbridge.
“You’re right. If we calculate using this date, her pregnancy is around eight months. Mr. Jadeson, if this is the case,
the baby is too small.”
“Too small?”
“Yeah, she’s underweight, and the baby’s organs aren’t fully developed. This is quite a severe issue. In the coming
months, they’ll have to keep up.”
There was pessimism in the doctor’s voice.
Color drained from Devin’s face within seconds.
He was about to ask for solutions when he saw Sabrina staring at them in trepidation.
Her hands, which she had placed calmly at her sides earlier, were clutching the sheets. Seeing that, he bit his
tongue at once.
“I got it. Let me send my wife outside first.”
“Sure.”
The doctor was thoughtful.
Devin helped the dazed woman get out of the bed and carried her out.
Sabrina’s feeling was indescribable.
She felt so cold all over. Engulfed by a paralyzing fear, she didn’t know where she was or what she had been doing.
Not that she didn’t take good care of the baby, but the bone marrow donation affected the fetus’ growth in her
body.
Haruto said the anesthetics and loss of bone marrow would hinder the fetus’ development.
Sabrina slumped into the chair like a lifeless doll.
“Sabrina, don’t worry. Our baby is just underweight. From now on, I’ll look after you both. We’ll eat more nourishing
and nutritious food to help our baby gain more weight. Don’t overthink things.”
Her devastated state frightened Devin.
Squatting in front of her, he consoled her in a gentle voice. He had made up his mind to take great care of them, so
they would be healthy and well.
However, the woman gave him no response.
Since she heard the diagnosis, she seemed to have lost her soul.
“Sabrina?”
She still did not make a sound.
Another minute passed. Devin finally met her dull gaze.
“Don’t waste your time and energy. The baby won’t come into this world.”

Devin was stupefied.
The baby won’t come into this world? What does she mean?
Her lips curved into a contemptuous smile. “Don’t you understand? The baby that you’re obsessed with will never
be born. He’s as good as gone. You may leave now. I no longer have what you want.”
Devin finally wrapped his head around her words.
Immediately, he glanced at her bulging belly, and his dashing face turned as white as paper. With eyes fixed on her,
his entire body quivered.
“Is it because of the bone marrow donation?”
That was his first thought?
Sabrina felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She averted her gaze, planning to stand up and leave this horrible place.
“Sabrina!” It was Devin’s voice.
As soon as she moved, he held her down.
“How many times do you want me to tell you? I did not marry you because of the baby! I thought I made myself
clear in Yaleview. I asked for your forgiveness not because you’re pregnant. I realized I was wrong to lie to myself
about my feelings for you. Have you forgotten it?”
