Chapter 277 Unbearable Love

Excluding the uncle, the incidence rate for the three generations of the Shelbys was close to 100%. Anna did not know what to say to comfort Jacob as well. “The heritability rate is 95%, and if the attack happens during labor, then the death rate is almost 100%. We can’t afford to take the risk.” Jacob’s eyes were misted. ‘I know how much you were looking forward to the child, Susie. But for all of us, nothing matters more than your life, so don’t blame us. Besides, even if the child is born, there is a huge chance that he or she will inherit the disease as well. It is not fair for the kid.’ Jacob was comforting himself with all sorts of excuses, hoping to lessen the ballooning guilt within him but to no avail. His heart was still very heavy. Anna did not know how to comfort him. She could just stand beside the bed and watch him with a worried expression. The night was dark. When Susan woke up in the middle of the night, she realized Julian was hugging her very tightly from behind.
