Chapter 691

The examination lasted three full hours.

Queen Eleanor clutched the hem of her dress, her voice trembling. "Dr. Laurent, my baby...how is he?"

Vivian handed the ultrasound images to the queen, pointing at a shadowed area. "Look here."

The fetus's limbs were clearly visible, but two areas showed abnormal adhesions.

"Besides the malformation adhesions, the fetal heart rate is unstable." Vivian paused. "Even if delivered, the child would likely suffer chronic illnesses."

Tears spilled from the queen's eyes.

"Six months...he already kicks me." The queen caressed her swollen abdomen. "I can't give up on him."

"The royal family has the best medical resources. Money is no object." She grasped Vivian's wrist. "Didn't Lulu recover too?"

Vivian felt the queen's fingers shaking.

"The surgery would be extremely difficult." Vivian pointed at the image. "Separating this area requires millimeter precision."

The queen immediately offered, "I'll assemble the nation's top surgeons to assist you."

Vivian shook her head. "Your current physical condition isn't suitable for immediate surgery."

The queen's blood pressure and heart rate remained unstable.

"Wait two more days." Vivian closed the medical report. "You must remain calm."

Ethan stood at the corridor's end, his gaze fixed on Vivian.

He watched as she rubbed her temples wearily.
