Chapter 186: The Decision
Levi's POV
The moment the doctor mentioned termination, something in my chest twisted.
None of us said a word. We just stood there, silent, emotionless. My eyes stayed fixed on Anita. She looked so weak on that bed, like she was barely holding on.
I didn't want to be here.
But I couldn't leave either.
Two nurses returned with equipment while a doctor wheeled over a small machine. One of the nurses gently pulled up Anita's dress and applied a clear gel over her stomach. It made a soft squelching sound as she rubbed it in with a gloved hand. Anita didn't move. She wasn't unconscious, but she looked too tired to even react.
"She's stable enough for the ultrasound now," the doctor said quietly. "We'll check the babies."
Babies.
The word made my chest tighten again.
These might be our babies.
Louis and Lennox stood silently beside me. We were all watching, but none of us said a word.
The nurse pressed the probe against her belly, and after a few seconds, black-and-white images flickered on the monitor.
