Hannah was initially overwhelmed by a profound sense of devastation. Once she regained herposure, her immediate thought was to terminate the pregnancy as quickly as possible. Frantically, she turned to the doctor and asked, “Doctor, when can I schedule the abortion surgery?”
The doctor replied, “I can arrange it for you next week; the earliest avable appointment is next Monday.”
Upon hearing that she would have to wait until Monday, Hannah’s anxiety surged. “Why must I wait until Monday? If it’s a financial issue, I can pay double or even ten times more!” she eximed.
This was a dire situation; every passing day increased the risk of her pregnancy being discovered, leaving her in a state of constant unease.
The doctor shook her head, exining, “It’s not about the money. We only have clinic visits scheduled over the weekend, and there are no operations avable. If you want to proceed with the abortion, we’ll have to wait until Monday.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Her face twisted in distress. Although she was filled with panic, she realized she had to ept her reality…
After all, she could not take matters into her own hands!
Abortion was a serious matter, and given her age, attempting to do it herself could be risky and even life-threatening…
The doctor continued, “I’ll prescribe some oral medication along with ointments for you to take home. Follow the instructions to manage your condition. After the abortion, we will begin systematic treatment for your STDs.”
Hannah nodded gratefully. “Thank you, doctor, thank you!”
The doctor waved her hand dismissively. “By the way, it would be wise for your husband to get tested too. Gonorrhea and syphilis are typically transmitted through sexual contact. If you’ve been intimate with him recently, there’s a chance he could have been infected or that you might have transmitted the infection to him. These diseases are highly contagious, so it’s best to advise him to undergo a blood test as well. If both of you are infected, you can support each other through the treatment.”
Hannah’s heart raced with anxiety.
She was acutely aware that she hadn’t contracted the infections from her husband. She was certain that the coal mine’s supervisor was the source of her illness.
However, she and Christopher had been intimate at the Webb family house just two days prior, and she distinctly remembered they hadn’t used any protection. Now, with the doctor mentioning the high contagion risk, did that mean she had likely infected her husband?
Flustered and panicked, she realized that her best course of action was to seek treatment before Christopher fell ill. This way, if he were diagnosedter, he wouldn’t be able to me her.
In a hurry, she asked, “Doctor, if I follow through with the treatment as nned, how long will it take for me to fully recover?”
“Hmm…” The doctor contemted for a moment before responding, “To be honest, these two infections are quite challenging to treat, and the treatment duration can be lengthy. I estimate it will take at least two months.”
“Two months? That feels like an eternity…” Hannah thought, her heart sinking into a pit of sorrow and despair.<fnd746> ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? F?nd-Novel</fnd746>
The doctor offered her some reassurance, “However, keep in mind that everyone’s response to treatment varies. Some individuals may recover more quickly.”
Then, she continued in a more measured tone, “Let’s not overthink this. First, let’s set a date for the abortion procedure. Come in next Monday for the surgery, and we’ll begin treatment right after.”
Hannah nodded, feeling defeated yet aware that there was little she could do in this moment. She made an appointment with the doctor for the abortion on Monday afternoon.
As soon as the appointment was finalized, her phone chimed with a call from Christopher. “Hey, you vanished so early this morning! Where have you been?”
Hannah quickly responded, “Oh, I had some things to take care of. I’m on my way home now.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong></p“alright…>
