It wasn't until Ruby Gregory felt as if she were about to faint from the intense pressure that the elderly chief physician put away her instruments and nodded to Dr. Madris: "Indeed, we made a mistake."
Then she turned her body, and spoke with a hint of apology: "Ms. Gregory, I'm really sorry. We made some errors during your previous prenatal examination…"
Although she was saying words of apology, Ruby could clearly hear a trace of surprise in the chief physician's voice: "Ms. Gregory, you are not carrying twins, but triplets."
It wasn't a problem with the babies… Ruby was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when she realized what the doctor had just told her.
Not twins, but triplets… she was pregnant with triplets… triplets…
