After the shock of the ultrasound results, the Platt family fell into a spiral of crisis.

The doctor called Shona and David into a private consultation room: the abnormal mass on the fetus’s neck could be a congenital tumor.

This news completely broke Shona.

She was silent, her eyes blurred with tears, while David tried to stay calm so as not to make her panic more.

But as soon as the door closed, that strength also collapsed.

The doctor said that if she wanted to keep the baby, Shona would have to undergo a complicated surgery, with the risk of seriously affecting her mother’s life. She only vaguely heard words like “cancer”, “complications”, “high risk rate”, and her heart felt like it was falling into an abyss. The director slowed down the scene – only Shona’s gasping breaths and her choked cries could be heard.

As she left the hospital, Shona sat silently on the bench, the wind blowing through her hair, her hand still clutching the ultrasound results. David sat beside her, not daring to say anything. There was a long, heavy silence. In that moment, we saw Shona, both weak and strong – a woman carrying a small creature, facing a life-or-death decision. Would she have the courage to keep the child, knowing it would cost her her life?
