Supreme Magus novel Chapter 252

’I never noticed any anomaly, the damage must be something subtle. Probably it just makes the changes of pregnancy really low. I would have never missed something that affected her health.’ He thought.

Lith stood up, placing his hand on Elina’s belly before activating Invigoration. He scanned her ovaries and uterus for a long time, but came up with nothing.

"Odd. Everything seems fine." Noticing his mother’s distressed expression, he tried to reassure her.

"Don’t worry, maybe it’s just because I don’t know what to look for. I just need reference material." Lith touched Rena’s womb, looking for clues.

"Good gods!" Lith snapped back with a shocked expression.

"Is there something wrong?" Rena was on the verge of panic. She had never seen her brother freaking out, not even after having an arm cut off.

"Yes, I mean no. I’m not ready to be an uncle, I’m too young." The room exploded with cheers, tears, and joy. Lith remained dumbstruck. He really was not ready.

’Guess they didn’t know either. For a moment I thought that Rena’s pregnancy was the reason behind mom’s request. Like knowing she is about to become a grandma made her aware of the passing of time.’ He thought.

"Thank the gods." Rena squeezed him between her arms, before putting his hand back on her belly.

"After being married for almost a year, I was starting to be afraid Senton or I was sterile. I was going to ask for your help right after mom. How is the baby?"

"This big." Lith’s index finger formed a circle about as big as a pea.

"I want to know if it’s healthy!" Rena slapped him on the nape.

"I guess." He shrugged. The fetus was too little, there wasn’t much he could see. Lith had no experience in the matter and didn’t want to give them false hope.

’Me and my big mouth. The chances of miscarriage during the first pregnancy are high, or at least, they are on Earth. I can only keep my finger crossed and keep an eye on her’

"Please, no more surprises." He said using Tista as a template this time. At those words, she became beet red but said nothing.

"I need a clean slate." He explained.

’I have no idea if Rena’s body has changed to better host the baby. Using her as blueprint could cause a false pregnancy.’

A few minutes later, he believed to have found the root of the problem. The difficult labor had caused the formation of adhesions in the tubes. Lith had no idea what they were, though. He only recognized them as an anomaly.

"I got good news and I got bad news. Which do you want to hear first?" He asked.

"The bad news." Elina hugged Raaz, who tried to act strong.

"It’s worse than I thought. Between the damage that you suffered and the passing of time, I can’t promise a full recovery."
