Olivia Taylor did not immediately respond to Luke Perkins' words.
The sentence carried a whirl of concealed emotions.
That Luke Perkins had wanted a grandchild was a hope he had since Tobias Perkins and Olivia had just married.
At first, indeed, this was one of Tobias's and her own desires. Olivia had made every effort to prepare for pregnancy under the doctors found by Luke Perkins.
Because of this, her illness had been treated conservatively all along. Even though there was progress, relapses were frequent. Like now, a mix of psychological factors exacerbated her fear.
There were even new symptoms.
On the one hand, Luke Perkins wanted her to cooperate with the treatment, but under her current severe condition, he was still so insistent on her getting pregnant. No matter how she thought about it, it made Olivia feel uncomfortable.
It felt as if she was a baby-producing machine for the Perkins family.
