No More Waiting, She Chooses Love novel Chapter 736

"Does it hurt?" Sinclair asked, his tone tinged with concern.

Fanny nodded obediently, always so well-behaved in front of Sinclair, almost like a child.

Yet, she was barely younger than Sinclair himself.

"Ah, stop fidgeting," Fanny winced, trying to pull her arm away.

Sinclair didn't loosen his grip but instead suggested, "Let's get an X-ray done."

Fanny's eyes widened in surprise. To her, the pain was just muscle soreness. An X-ray seemed excessive, didn't it?

Lack of common sense can be alarming!

She sighed inwardly before declining, "No need, it's nothing."

"If it wasn't anything, it wouldn't hurt. Pain means something's up," Sinclair reasoned.

Standing at the doorway, I watched as Fanny found herself speechless and couldn't help but snicker quietly. I had always found her and Yates sweet, but the dynamic between her and Sinclair was reminiscent of a domineering CEO and his gentle girlfriend, equally captivating.

"Uncle," Fanny softly pleaded against Sinclair's insistence on an X-ray, her tone almost pleading, "It's just a little bump, and if I go for an X-ray by a colleague, I'll never hear the end of it."

Her words were truthful, yet her soft-spoken manner sounded almost like she was being coy, which was almost too much for me to handle.

Sinclair visibly softened, his gaze melting under Fanny's tender look, eventually conceding, "Are you sure you're alright?"

I hurried over to Fanny, teasing her about her 'uncle's' concern. Despite her insisting it was nothing, the look of pain when she moved was undeniable. "Seriously, if it gets worse, you should get that X-ray. Your arm’s crucial, especially for surgery."

She shook her head, "It's just sore muscles."

"Your uncle really cares, you know," I teased, unable to resist.

Fanny rolled her eyes, dismissing my insinuations with a forced laugh, her mind clearly elsewhere.

Curious about the commotion outside, I inquired, and Fanny explained from the window, "The pregnant woman was 39 weeks and 2 days into her term but hadn’t shown signs of labor, so she hadn't come to the hospital. Recently, she felt reduced fetal movements and came in for a check-up."

Pausing, she continued, "The check-up revealed almost no amniotic fluid and severe fetal distress, leading to an emergency C-section. But the mother developed eclampsia during the procedure, ultimately leading to both her and the baby’s demise."
