246 Dr. Julie’s Predicament

Chapter 246. Dr. Julie’s Predicament

Ella stared at Dr. Julie’s pleading eyes for a few seconds to know if there was any sign of sincerity or remorse.

When she observed the guilt and brokenness of Dr. Julie, she decided to give her a listening ear.

“Five minutes and I’m out of here!” Ella said firmly between tightened jaw.

“Thank you very much!” Dr. Julie smiled. “Can you please have a seat?” She gestured towards the double couch in her office.

“No, I’m fine standing! You have four minutes, and forty-five seconds left,” Ella hissed.

“Ella, please! Your physical and emotional state also affects your baby. You’re currently stressed and this might rub off on the baby. Even If you don’t feel like listening to me, at least consider the baby in your womb. I believe you would never want to put the baby’s development in jeopardy.”

“Fine! Just note that the only reason I’m going to give you my attention is because of this precious baby.” Ella gently massaged her baby bump as if she was comforting the developing baby in her womb.

“Now you read my lips,” Ella’s narrowed her eyes and glared at Dr. Julie. “If you ever mention pregnancy termination to me again, I will make your life a living hell.” She hissed and went to take her seat.

.....

“Phew!” Dr. Julie exhaled sharply while staring at Ella in bewilderment.

‘First, her husband threatens my life and now she tows the same path! What a perfect couple these two make! I just pray I survive this incredible couple.’ Dr. Julie thought inwardly as she took a seat beside Ella.

“Ella, I want to start by thanking you for giving me the opportunity to redeem myself before you. I...”

“Go straight to the point and stop wasting my time!” Ella’s eyes shot invisible fiery darts at Dr. Julie.

“Hmm...okay, I’m sorry!” Dr. Julie wiped the cold sweat on her forehead. “Although what I’m about to tell you might put me in jeopardy, I would rather face the consequences of my actions than have you hate me for the rest of your life.”

Ella soften her chilly stares at Dr. Julie as she wondered what jeopardy or consequences the doctor was referring to.

“When your husband found out about your pregnancy, he reached out to me and asked me if I was aware. As expected, I said, yes. Then he further asked me how long I’d known about it. Seeing that there was no point trying to cover up or lie about the whole matter, I came clean with him. At that very moment, I became your husband’s worst enemy.” Dr. Julie’s eyes sagged as she sighed.

“You told him everything!” Ella’s eyes widened. She knew what it was like for Leon to get angry and she also knew how unforgiving he could be when he labels someone as an enemy.

“Everything! I told him about your initial intentions of wanting to remove the pregnancy. I told him that I was the one who convinced you about keeping the pregnancy. I told him about the falsified tummy bloating and food allergy incident. I told him everything! My conscience couldn’t bear one more lie or deceit.”

“Oh no!” Ella cupped her open mouth as she now understood Dr. Julie’s predicament.

“Afterwards he warned me never to contact you again. He told me to end all communication with you. He said that as my punishment, I’ll be the one to handle your... you know...umm...” Dr. Julie hesitated for a while as she battled with the right words to use.

“He wanted you to carry out the termination procedure on me.” Ella helped Dr. Julie finish her statement while shaking her head in disappointment.

Dr. Julie quickly wiped off a few drops of tears that escaped her eyes.

“But, I’ve changed my mind. I will never hurt an innocent child just to keep my job or preserve my life. The truth is that I was scared before but right now your determination to keep this baby gives me strength and boldness. Come what may, I’ll stand by you till the end.”

“Really!”

Ella’s face slowly broke into a smile as she observed the fierce determination in doctor Julie’s eyes.

“Yes! The primary duty of any medical doctor is to save lives and not to take them. Mrs. Ariella Treshvire...” Dr. Julie place her left hand on her chest and raised her right hand above her shoulder. “...I swear that I will stand by your decision to keep and have this baby, even in the pain of death.”

“Oh, Julie!” Ella threw her hands around Dr. Julie’s neck in a warm embrace. “Nobody is going to die. I will see to it that you remain my personal doctor for as long as there is breath in my nostril. Leon is my husband and I’ll make sure he never hurt you.”

“Thank you, Ella!” Dr. Julie sniffed quietly and wiped her misty eyes.

After Leon left the hospital, he drove down to Emerald Lounge, one of Amzone city’s most luxurious lounges; where he was to close some business deals with a new business mogul, who just relocated to the city.

Before Leon left, he gave John strict instructions to stay back and ensure that Ella was attended to. He also left behind three of Ella’s bodyguards to ensure that she was safe at all times.

Although Leon tried his best to focus his attention on the business deal at hand, his mind kept drifting to the state he left Ella in.

He was enraged by the fact that Ella was proving stubborn and uncooperative with the pregnancy termination procedure.

“What if that ludicrous doctor is unable to convince her? What if she refuses to remove the pregnancy? What would happen to our young love? Would I still love her?” Leon raked his hair with his fingers as different suffocating thoughts enveloped him.

He shook off all the depressing thoughts troubling his head as he stepped into the lounge and walked over to the VIP section where his new business associate was waiting on him.

“Mr. Chu, it’s good to see you.” Leon smiled and extended his hand to a middle age sturdy man, decked in three pieces elegantly tailored suit.

“Mr. Leon, I’m glad that you were able to make it.” Mr. Chu’s lips curved into a smile as he stood and shook Leon’s hand politely.

They both sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries before going into the business of the day.

While they were in the middle of negotiation and conclusion of the business deal, an elegantly dressed, sinfully curvy girl with captivating hazel eyes walked up to their table.

“Hi Dad, sorry I’m late?”

The beautiful girl smiled and sat beside Mr. Chu while ignoring all the gawking pairs of eyes including Leon’s, there were drooling over her.
