Chapter 847: A hybrid of a vampire and a human, should we save the older one or the younger one?
The locomotive passed through the clouds and sped across the sky.
Aaron packed up all the props that might be used and stopped in front of Karen's single-family house.
Along with him came the werewolf Jacob.
"How did you get here?" Jacob frowned.
"Alice invited me here, what about you?"
"Charlie said something happened to Bella, and I... came over in a hurry to ask."
Hearing this, Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly.
You stayed away from Bella when she got married, but you were so concerned about her when she was pregnant. It's easy to be misunderstood!
Aaron and Jacob walked towards the villa together, and Carlisle opened the door and brought them in.
“Hello, Jacob.
Hello, Aaron. "
"Listen, tell me the truth." Jacob said straight to the point, but before he could ask any questions, Bella's weak voice reached his ears.
"Abu, is that you?"
"She's here?"
"They came back two weeks ago." Carlisle said in a deep voice.
Jacob immediately went to the second floor, and Aaron looked at Carlisle, "He doesn't know yet?"
"We didn't tell him, and the fewer people who knew about Bella's pregnancy, the better.
Whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, no vampire child will be allowed to be born."
"I don't know much about this, so I won't comment on it casually."
"Mr. Gaius, Bella..." Carlisle hesitated to speak.
"Before I know for sure whether the problem can be solved, I can only do my best." Aaron said bluntly, and then changed the subject, "But I still have some confidence in my medical skills."
Going up to the second floor, Rosalie stood in front of Bella, and the other Cullens stood apart.
Jacob looked at the familiar but haggard face behind Rosalie and moved his feet unconsciously.
"I'm glad you could come."
Jacob looked at her expressionlessly and continued to move forward.
"Close enough."
"What's your problem?"
"Rosa, it's okay." Bella said, and Rosalie reluctantly stepped aside, revealing Bella with a haggard face.
Compared with a few weeks ago, her condition was much worse. Her skin was dull and her body was thin. The thick dark circles under her eyes were particularly obvious, like a cancer patient who had not eaten for a long time.
"Ah!" Jacob forced a stiff smile, "You look terrible."
"Yeah! Nice to meet you too."
"Are you ready to tell me what happened to you?"
Bella forced a smile, "Rosa, help me."
Rosalie carefully helped Bella up, and Jacob realized that she was pregnant.
"What the hell!" Aaron's eyes widened in astonishment. He looked at Bella in disbelief, then turned his gaze to Edward. "It's been eight or nine months! How did you do it?"
"You did a great job." Jacob walked towards Edward angrily, but before he got close, Emmett stopped him by holding his shoulder.
"We had no idea this would happen," Carlisle said.
"What is it?"
"I'm not sure. Neither ultrasound nor needles can penetrate the embryonic sac."
"I can't see it either." Alice said, "I can't even see Bella's future anymore."
“We have been looking up historical materials, but the results are limited.
What we do know is that it is very strong and it grows very quickly.”
"Why don't you do something?" Jacob asked in confusion, "Take it out."
"It has nothing to do with you, you stinky dog." Rosalie cursed angrily. She dreamed of having a child of her own, but her identity as a vampire meant that this was just a dream.
Now Bella has the opportunity to realize her dream of becoming a mother. Whether the child is removed or not, Bella will not be able to get pregnant in the future. She can't let her regret it for the rest of her life!
"Rosa!" Esme yelled angrily, "All this bickering is not good for Bella."
"This fetus is not good for Bella." Alice said seriously.
"Say it, Alice." Rosalie turned to look at her and said, "'Baby', it's just a baby."
"Maybe," Jasper said.
"Carlisle, you have to do something."
"No." Bella interrupted firmly, "It's not up to him to decide, and it's not up to you to decide."
"Jacob, we need to talk," Edward said, and headed downstairs.
Jacob looked at Bella deeply and followed her down.
"Aaron." Alice said hesitantly, "Can you help check it?"
"Okay, but before that, can you tell me why you are so nervous about the life in Bella's belly?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After a few seconds of silence, Carlisle, the patriarch, began to explain, "If a vampire is transformed before the age of ten, he will become a bloodthirsty demon child.
The bloodthirsty demon boy is not bound by any system and is moody. Once he reveals his desire for blood, he will commit large-scale massacres and is completely unable to protect the secrets of vampires.
Therefore, once a bloodthirsty demon child appears, whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, they will be tacitly eradicated. "
"Not only that," Alice added, "if the Volturi knew Bella had given birth to a vampire baby, they would have a legitimate reason to start a war, and the Cullens would be no match for them.
The Drina family once created a bloodthirsty demon child, and then... paid a terrible price. "
"I think I understand. However, the life in Bella's belly was born naturally, not transformed by a vampire. It should not be considered a bloodthirsty demon child!"
“There’s never been anything like this before, so we’re at a loss as to what to do with it.
What's worse is Bella's current condition." Alice hesitated, "You can see it! It's much worse than a normal pregnant woman.
I'm worried that Bella's life will end before this baby is born..."
......
Meanwhile, Edward and Jacob come outside.
"I knew you would destroy her." Jacob looked at Edward angrily.
"She believes Carlisle can turn her into a vampire at the last minute, just like Carlisle saved me and Esme."
"Can he?"
"The chances are slim. Once her heart fails..." Edward paused and didn't finish his words, but the meaning was self-evident.
"Listen, Jacob, I need you to do something for me."
"Hmph!" Jacob snorted disdainfully. His disgust towards Edward now skyrocketed.
"For her," Edward continued, "there is a bond between you and her that I will never understand.
If even Gaius can't solve the problem, you might be able to convince her, change her mind, and let her live."
Jacob hesitated for a few seconds, "What if I can't do it?"
"If she dies, you can get what you want and kill me."
......
[Mother and child are safe, ensuring that Bella Swan successfully gives birth to a human-vampire hybrid;
Completing the mission will reward you with 600 magic points; there will be no penalty for mission failure; do you accept it? 】
Aaron sat on the sofa, looking at the freshly baked system tasks, and fell into a brief contemplation.
Six hundred magic points was not a small amount, especially for him whose magic points were only in the three digits now.
But helping someone give birth to a child and ensuring the safety of both mother and child, this job... is not easy!
Before he came to Karen's house, he thought he was just going to do a simple checkup and give some guidance, but he had no intention of being a nanny.
"What happened?" Edward and Jacob hurried back.
Aaron looked at Bella, who was pale and thin, then looked at Edward's face that looked like Cedric, and sighed helplessly.
Forget it, I'll accept the task. After all, I have a kind heart!
"I know everything I need to know. I'll tell you the details after checking."
"How?" Jacob asked.
"That's a good question." Aaron snapped his fingers, then took out a silver box from his space ring. When he opened it, he saw neatly arranged silver knives.
"Is this... a scalpel?" Carlisle's face twitched, somewhat incredulous.
"I studied anatomy when I was eleven or twelve years old. I know the body structures of humans, vampires, and werewolves very well, but there are still differences between the two worlds."
"Don't tell me you're going to operate on Bella?" Jacob asked in astonishment.
"Practice makes perfect! I have confidence in my skills. Combined with the specially made potion, I am 80% sure that she and the baby in her belly will be safe."
"No, I absolutely don't agree to that." Edward refused sternly, "Bella is a living person, not a specimen. I won't allow you to do that."
"Edward, this is the simplest and most direct solution I can think of."
"Aren't you a wizard?" Jacob looked at him puzzledly, "Can't you use magic?"
"Well... okay! I'll make an exception this time." Aaron said with some hesitation, "As long as no one finds out that I'm using magic, my identity won't be exposed."
"Using magic won't hurt Bella, right?" Alice asked.
"No." Aaron rolled his eyes at her, then stretched out a finger and pointed it at Bella's forehead, "Probe."
Boom!
Invisible ripples spread from Aaron's fingertips, and Bella's physical condition was clearly presented in his eyes.
The body is extremely weak, and the functioning of the internal organs and the flow of blood are almost all serving the thriving little life in the abdomen, so a large amount of nutrition from the mother is lost.
However, judging from the baby's posture, she seems to be a girl and not an alien.
Retracting his fingers, Aaron met the anxious and expectant eyes of the people around him, "Ahem, one good news, one bad news, you..."
"Good news." x2.
Edward and Jacob said at the same time that it was mainly because of too much pressure and they urgently needed good news.
"The good news is that there is indeed a baby in Bella's belly, not a monster. If I am not mistaken, it should be a girl with a normal human temperature.
Based on my experience in dissecting a large number of alien species, this baby is not a bloodthirsty monster.
On the contrary, she combines the best qualities of both humans and vampires, without any flaws."
"What do you mean?" Rosalie asked.
"This means that this baby will have the lifespan, speed, strength, and even superpowers of a vampire, but it can live normally in the sun and does not need to suck blood to survive. It can replenish energy by eating food like humans."
Bella and Rosalie looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
The others also showed a slightly relaxed smile on their faces, as if it wasn't a bloodthirsty demon child.
"Wait, what about the bad news?" Alice asked.
"That's the point." Aaron said seriously, "The bad news is that this baby is growing too fast, almost squeezing out the mother's nutrition and even life.
If Bella had better luck and a stronger will, she might have been able to hold on until she was born, but even so, she was already exhausted.
If we were to be more pessimistic, she might not have survived until her daughter was born, and the result would have been two deaths.”
"That means at least one of Bella and her daughter will... die." Jacob found it hard to accept. "Is there any way to avoid this outcome?"
"There was a perfect solution," Aaron said, "but she refused it."
"Is it too late to regret now?" Alice asked apprehensively, "Bella and I can both become your dependents."
"I'm sorry, but a good horse never turns back.
I gave you many chances, but you didn’t take them.”
"Is there any other way?" Edward asked.
"Yes! After she gives birth to the child, we can turn her into a vampire."
"The chances are slim." Carlisle shook his head slightly, "If it's really as you said, after the child is born, Bella's body functions will be worse than a dead person, and she won't be able to withstand the transformation of a vampire.
To put it bluntly, I can't turn a dead person into a vampire."
"If we abort the baby now, Bella can survive, right?" Edward's voice trembled. Making a decision between saving the adult and the younger one is extremely difficult for any man.
"No." Bella didn't know where she got the strength from. "Absolutely not, Edward, she is my daughter, our daughter."
"But, she..." Edward's voice was choked and hoarse, "I don't want to either, but what do you want me to do?
If you are gone, what is the meaning of my life?"
"Uh... that..." Aaron raised his hand awkwardly, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but there is actually a way to solve the problem."
"Hurry up and tell me." Jacob said impatiently.
"Hey, hey, hey! Watch your attitude!" Aaron glared at him unhappily and said, "Just because I'm approachable doesn't mean there's no difference in our status. Speak politely to me."
Jacob's face twitched slightly, and he resisted the urge to curse and said, "Sorry."
"Although I know you don't mean what you say, I am a man who doesn't bear grudges, so I will forgive you with reluctance." Aaron coughed and said, "The solution to the problem is very simple. Before the baby is born, we just need to maintain Bella's physical condition and provide her with enough nutrition."
"Is this your solution?" Rosalie frowned and said, "We have prepared various nutritional packages for Bella these days, and Carlisle has also prepared a lot of nutrient solution, but even so, she still turned out like this.
Although I don’t want to admit it, the rate at which nutrients are replenished is far behind the rate at which they are consumed.”
