The most emotional drama this week belongs to Shona Platt, when she receives devastating news regarding her unborn baby.

From what seemed like a normal prenatal check-up, the doctor suddenly asks Shona to go to an emergency consultation room.

The doctor’s face suddenly becomes serious, sending a chill down Shona’s spine — and just as she suspected, the news she’s about to receive is not easy to face.

The doctor announces that the fetus is a girl, but it comes with a diagnosis that makes Shona’s whole body collapse: during the ultrasound, they discovered an unusual growth near a vital area, possibly a congenital cancer.

This means she’s faced with three brutal choices:

Keep the pregnancy, but the risks for both mother and baby are very high.

Immediate surgical intervention — extremely dangerous and the possibility of losing the baby is very high.

Terminate the pregnancy.

Shona is speechless. She couldn’t be both happy and devastated at the same time. She was told she was pregnant with a daughter — the joy she had been waiting for — but then faced the risk of losing her immediately.

David rushed into the room, asking, “What’s wrong? Is the baby okay?” But Shona was choked up, unable to speak. After the doctor explained the whole situation, David fell into shock. He tried to act strong, but his trembling hands betrayed the fear gripping his heart.

When she returned home, Shona hid part of the truth. She only told her family that “the baby is a girl,” then smiled weakly as if everything was fine. But when she was alone in her room, she collapsed, clutching her stomach and sobbing.

The next episodes showed Shona waking up in the middle of the night, placing her hand on her stomach and whispering to her child:

“If you want to stay with me, you have to be strong. I don’t want to lose you… but I have to live to take care of my other children too.”

The next morning, Shona suddenly told David that she wanted to go ahead with the surgery, despite the risks. David strongly objected, saying they had to find a way to keep both Shona and the baby safe. The resulting argument left both of them extremely tense.
