The Divorce That Brought Us Back novel Chapter 405

Nora had actually thought it sounded reasonable.

She wasn't inherently opposed to having children.

But then Maloney had frantically gone out of his way to convince her that they should reject the idea together.

Besides, it wasn't like Leora was born yesterday. She was already over a year old and could clearly call him Uncle Maloney. Why was he suddenly filled with overwhelming joy today of all days?

Nora shot him a glare and said, "Cassidy is leaving the day after tomorrow."

Maloney pressed, "I'm serious about wanting a baby."

Nora sighed. "You are so annoying."

Despite her words, she found herself at the clinic with Maloney three days later for a full check-up.

They both went through a comprehensive battery of tests.

Maloney's health was impeccable; there wasn't a single warning flag on his entire chart.

Nora had a few minor issues, though her previous struggles with anemia and low bone density had significantly improved—a testament to her diligent self-care and exercise over the past year.

The doctor advised Nora to get a cavity filled beforehand and strongly suggested she have a breast fibroadenoma removed.

The fibroadenoma had been lingering for a couple of years.

It was likely the physical toll of bottling up years of emotional stress from her youth.

It wasn't severe, and previous doctors had told her to just leave it alone.

However, pregnancy could cause the adenoma to grow.

And that wasn't all.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, massive spikes in estrogen could trigger rapid tumor growth.

Before attempting to conceive, her body needed to be in absolutely perfect condition.

Otherwise, minor issues had a high probability of spiraling into major complications.

Maloney instantly dropped any further talk of having a baby.

She needed more time to heal.

They would wait until her vitality was fully restored, handle the minor surgery, ensure everything was perfectly resolved, and then dedicate another solid two years strictly to her recovery.

There was absolutely no rush.

Maloney's entire world revolved around her well-being.

The moment they walked out of the clinic, Nora frantically dialed Cassidy to ask if she had undergone any pre-pregnancy screenings.

"No," Cassidy replied. "I just ended up pregnant out of nowhere."

Nora sighed. "That's because you two weren't using protection."
