Tempting My Rented Boyfriend-Chapter 228: Will I die?

Ch-227

"Mrs. Emerson, could you follow the nurse and let her draw some blood from you?" The doctor asked.

"Cedric, come with me," Eleanor called Cedric.

"Mrs. Emerson, I need to talk to your husband about your health and care. Please cooperate," she said with a smile.

"No no no... I want him," Eleanor said.

"Doctor, it’s fine. She is scared of needles," Cedric said. The doctor nodded her head at him. Cedric accompanied Eleanor to draw her blood.

"Mrs. Emerson, please stretch your hand," the nurse said as she made Eleanor sit on the chair.

Eleanor looked at Cedric as if saying she doesn’t want them to draw blood. "For the sake of the baby," he said. She pouted.

"It would be like an ant price," he said.

"Don’t you want to attend Valene’s engagement?" He asked.

"Yes!" She said as she got diverted into a different topic.

He motioned the nurse to start the process.

"I heard Oliver isn’t coming. He said that he is jealous of him. Because he could get married to the woman he loves while his woman still doesn’t accept him. I tried to tell him but he isn’t listening. I am wondering if you could talk to him and ask him to come. Will you do that?" He asked.

"I will! Didn’t he say that he would come for me? How could he ditch me like this?" She was angry now.

The nurse was about to pierce the needle. She signaled Cedric to make her calm down. He nodded.

"So... I think we need to ask Nathaira to help us," he said. The nurse pierced the needle. Eleanor was too.engrossed in her conversation. She hissed slightly before continuing with her heated discussion.

"Yes! That woman would make him run after her. If she comes here, he would coming running after her," Eleanor said.

"Mr. and Mrs. Emerson, I drew the blood. Please wait for the results. In the meanwhile, you can meet the doctor," the nurse informed.

Eleanor almost fainted when she saw that 10 ml of her blood was drawn.

"Baby, I lost my blood," she said.

"I will compensate you with food," he said but she scrunched her face at him.

"Shall we meet the doctor?" he asked. She nodded.

"I am sleepy," she said.

"We will go as soon as possible," he said.

"Okay," she said.

They both walked to the doctor’s cabin. "Please sit," the doctor said.

"We will get the results in five minutes. Please wait," she said.

After some time the results were out. Seeing the results the doctor furrowed her brows.

"Mr. Emerson, you said she is eating soil. What else did you notice?" she asked.

"I saw her eating soil once. I don’t know if she was eating on daily basis or not. but I don’t think she eats on daily basis. And she is not eating food. She mostly plays with food. She is a big foodie but nowadays she either eats very little or skips eating. I am worried about her," he said.

"Mrs. Emerson, please be honest with me," the doctor asked. Eleanor felt embarrassed for getting caught by Cedric. But nevertheless, she nodded her head to the doctor.

"What else do you eat apart from soil?" the doctor asked.

"Food, of course," she said.

"I mean like... ice chips, soap, clay, chalk, dry paint, raw rice something like those things," she said.

"Ice chips," she said. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Hmmm.... From when?" the doctor asked.

"Ice chips from a week or two. And the soil... I only had one time," she said in a low voice as she lowered her voice.

"Mr. Cedric, Mrs. Emerson have the signs of Pica. This is normal for pregnant women. Because they have to share all their nutrients and blood with the child, right? So the amount of nutrients that a pregnant lady takes should be taken twice than normal. If she don’t, then the insufficiency of nutrients would take a toll on her. And even as days passed the baby grows bigger. The supply of nutrients should be increased day by day.

"If that doesn’t happen, the baby would start sucking the stored nutrients from its mother body. This would lead to the heavy drop in iron in the mother body. And lack of iron would make the mothers want to eat soil, raw rice, and other things. These things would suppress the incoming nutrients and would harm their body and even baby.

"Since, its in the early stages, it would be easier for them to get over their bad temptations. As for her poor appetite... their mind would feel that eating food would make them feel like its a heavy work. And whatever they eat would be bland. So they lose interest in food. Don’t worry about that. I will prescribe some supplements to her. Make sure she takes them on time. I don’t suggest meds, after all this is her first pregnancy. All you can do is... cure her with food. Even if she doesn’t like it. Just make her. Have a watch on her, and be strict. So that she would avoid eating them and which may harm her and the baby." the doctor said. They nodded.

Eleanor never thought that her bad habits were diseases. She felt sad at her condition.

She wondered if she was going to die or what. She was so young and doesn’t want to die. Eleanor wants to live a longer life.

"Will I die?" Eleanor asked feeling scared.

The doctor and Cedric looked shocked at Eleanor. The doctor laughed at Eleanor’s innocence.

"No, Mrs. Emerson. It would be fatal if you don’t take it seriously. All you have to do is eat healthy food and stay healthy. Even if you don’t like eating, force yourself. If you want to puke, puke it out. But again and again. For you and for the baby," the doctor said.

Eleanor reminded herself of not to do something that cause harm to her baby. She will remind herself from now on,
