"What's wrong, doctor? Mia murmured in a weak voice. #Finished
"Nothing is wrong, Mrs. Valentino. I just wanted to talk to your husband about some precautions during your pregnancy, that's all," the doctor replied gently. But Mia wasn't convinced; she sensed there was something more the doctor wasn't sharing.
Alessandro could feel the tension in the air as well. He sensed the urgency in the doctor's tone, but he maintained a calm exterior. He gently squeezed Mia's hand. "Amore mio, nothing can be wrong when I'm with you. Remember, I promised to protect you from everything, and I mean it. I will keep you and our kids safe, no matter what."
He paused for a moment before continuing. "You go check on the kids while I discuss a few things with the doctor, okay?"
Mia sighed, nodding in agreement. Alessandro helped her up, holding her hand as she stood. He walked her to the door, holding it open for her as she stepped out. Once she was gone, he closed the door, his expression turning serious as he turned to face the doctor. Alessandro closed the door behind Mia, his expression tense as he turned back to the doctor. His intimidating eyes questioned her intentions.
"Mr. Valentino, please take a seat," the doctor urged calmly.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Letting out an exasperated breath, Alessandro approached the chair, pulling it back before sitting down with a heavy sigh.
"Doctor, tell me it's not something serious," he said, his tone sharp and warning.
The doctor hesitated, her demeanor serious. "Mr. Valentino, unfortunately, I need to discuss some critical issues regarding your wife's pregnancy." Alessandro frowned. "What is it?"
"She's Rh-negative, and her firstborns are Rh-positive, the doctor began, her voice measured.
"So?!" Though Alessandro didn't fully understand the implications, he remained composed.
"I reviewed her reports from her previous pregnancy, and..." She paused as she read the report again, intimidated by the fearsome personality of the Italian don-oh, the ex-Italian don, as he had stepped down, but no one yet knew about it since the official announcement was still pending
"She didn't have a shot of RhoGAM at that time, and now it's causing complications in her current pregnancy," the doctor added with a sign of worry in her tone.
Alessandro's jaw tightened. "What does that mean?"
"Look, the first pregnancy can sometimes proceed without sensitization, but it's still a risk, especially with a subsequent pregnancy. In severe cases of sensitization, it can lead to significant complications during delivery. In Mrs. Valentino's case, the risk is too high," the doctor admitted, looking directly into his eyes. "We need to act quickly."
Alessandro's heart sank with realization.

"Doctor, Aria's health is my priority," he said firmly. "Do anything necessary, but she shouldn't be harmed." He made his choice clear.
He loved her he loved her too much to care about anything else but her...and only her.
"I understand your concern, Mr. Valentino, and trust me, I will do my best to keep both mother and baby. safe," the doctor assured him.
"So, what's the next step?" he asked urgently, needing to know. "I want to know everything about the progress of your treatment. The doctor nodded in understanding.
"We'll schedule the RhoGAM injection immediately; in fact, I will give her the first shot today. She'll also need regular blood tests. Early intervention is essential, the doctor replied firmly. "We can manage this, but it requires vigilance."
Alessandro nodded. "Make sure not to miss anything. I want the best for my wife and the baby. Money is, not an issue, and you know that," he said authoritatively.
"I understand, and don't worry-your wife is in good hands. I'll coordinate the necessary tests and treatments, and I'll keep you informed every step of the way," the doctor assured him.
"Okay," he said, standing up. The doctor handed him the report file and the prescriptions before he left, feeling the weight of the moment pressing down on him.
"I've included everything in this prescription. Continue with the multivitamins and maintain a healthy diet," she suggested.
Alessandro took the papers and nodded before turning to leave the room. His mind buzzed with stressed thoughts; fear gripped his heart, and another worry loomed-what was he going to tell Aria?
Should he lay bare the truth and risk shattering her hope, or should he hide it, waiting for the moment everything might be alright? He was far too torn to think straight.
