The Untouchable Ex-Wife

Chapter 185
In the Obstetrics and Gynecology ward at the hospital.
Briar was lying on a hospital bed, looking very anxious.
There were sufficient evidence and witnesses to charge her with stealing. She was currently on bail, pending trial. There were
police officers outside the door watching over her.
In other words, if Renee refused to drop the case, Briar would go to jail for at least three years.
Although she did not have to stay in jail during the pregnancy and breastfeeding period, she would be after that.
More importantly, once she was convicted of a criminal offense, her life would be completely ruined!
If she had known that Renee was such a tough opponent, she would have kept low and stayed far away from Renee!
Briar had tried calling Stefan many times, but he did not answer any of her calls. It was obvious that he did not want to talk to her.
She did not know if he would even save her.
She had really made a mess of things this time!
At that moment, her attending physician came in. He closed the door behind him and looked at her with a sad expression.
“Miss Desrosiers, your examination results are out. The situation is a bit complicated. I need to have a word with you.”
“What’s the matter? Is something wrong with my baby?”
“There is indeed a problem. Maybe we should wait for Mr. Hunt and discuss a solution together?”
Briar frowned and pondered for a few seconds, then said, “It’s fine. You can tell me first. After all, I’m the one bearing the child. I
can handle any issues and make my own decisions.”
“Alright then!”
The doctor sighed and handed the newly issued examination report to Briar, saying. “Miss Desrosiers, we’ve detected a genetic
defect in your baby. If you give birth to it, it’ll most likely have a mental disability, so we suggest...”

“What do you mean, mental disability?”
Briar was very emotional. She said, “There’s no way! My baby has always been doing fine. The baby’s parents are also very
normal. How can it suddenly become mentally disabled? You must have made a mistake!”
“Calm down, Miss Desrosiers...”
The doctor consoled Briar and explained, “Because it’s a genetic defect, it’s impossible to detect it in the early stage of
pregnancy. You’re now in the second trimester of your pregnancy, so your fetus has developed more, and that has revealed
many hidden conditions. We recommend performing an abortion as soon as possible before you reach the third trimester of
pregnancy. That’s the safest option for you!”
“No!”
Briar exclaimed, “I won’t let anyone touch my child. It carries the Hunt blood. If you dare to touch it, you’ll be messing with the
Hunt family. Can you bear the consequences?”
The baby was her last hope. If she lost the baby, it would be all over for her.
But to be honest, she was actually unsure if the baby’s biological father was Tristan Hunt.
Briar vaguely remembered that she had not only had sex with Tristan that day. She had gone to a bar in the evening and got
drunk with a bunch of friends. She could not remember clearly whether she had sex afterwards.
“Miss Desrosiers, aborting the baby now is the best solution because the baby has a genetic defect and may stop developing
altogether in the later stages of pregnancy – in other words, it’ll be a stillborn. That will be very harmful to your health!*
Upon hearing the doctor’s explanation, Briar’s face turned deathly pale. She was in despair.
“You... are you trying to scare me?”
“I’m not.”
The doctor looked sympathetically at Briar. This kind of thing was an extremely painful experience for any mother to go. through.
“Maybe we should ask Mr. Hunt to come over and hear what he thinks.”
“No, you can’t call him over!”

Briar grabbed the doctor’s hand and pleaded in tears, “Doctor, I beg you. Stefan loves the baby very much and looks forward to
having a child. You can’t tell him about this. I want to take the risk and give birth to the baby anyway. Even if the baby has a
mental disability, I think the Hunt family will still accept the baby and Stefan will still be happy!”
“This is not a matter of taking the risk or not. It’s that, nine times out of ten, the baby might not even live until the third trimester of
pregnancy. In just a month or two, it’ll stop developing...”
“Say no more, doctor, I’ve made my decision. If it successfully gets born, it’s a miracle. If it doesn’t, it’s an accident.” 1
Briar already had a solution in mind. She warned the doctor, “You better not tell anyone else about this. If news get out that the
Hunt family’s baby is mentally disabled, your career, and maybe even this hospital, will suffer!”
The doctor suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He gulped and said, “I understand, Miss Desrosiers. I should have been
more thoughtful. Don’t worry, the secret is safe with me!”
