Chapter 374 - swollen feet

They are taking off to Geneva in Switzerland. The plane itself will be arriving at Geneva after flying straight thirteen hours. As the precaution and back up plan, they will be stopped over in Dubai overnight for the pregnant lady.

However, at this stage they will go straight to the Geneva International airport. It will be hard to park this wide body airplane to the private hangar. Ben and Brian already attained the permit for renting one of the gates in the Geneva International airport for them to use.

As soon as the plane already in the steady altitude, Jun is taking Bella to their private master room where they will be resting. There are five other room to use for all of them except Jimmy. He decides to stay outside on his chair. At least the chair can be turn as flat bed.

The head of the flight attendant is knocking Jun and Bella room to present the dinner menu from the chef who is busy preparing their dinner.

Jun is bringing the menu to his wife who sitting on the bed to rest. Bella read the menu and give it back to Jun with a nod on her face.

On the menu for dinner, there will be Malaysian chicken satay for starter with Asian salad, grilled barramundi with truffle mashed potatoes and roast seasonal vegetable and for vegetarian menu, mushroom risotto for the main course. The desert will be Japanese strawberry shortcake.

Bella is really happy with the assortment of the menu offered by the chef. She is one of the foodies which happy to see the food serve in front of her.

Lately, Bella needs to rest more as her feet gotten swollen easily. She even needs to use special stool when she did the operation with her swollen legs. Apparently, Mia already reduces her operation schedule and clinic time. She can rest more at home unless there is an emergency.

Jun is giving back the menu to the flight attendant and gives her the green light to pass to the chef before closing the door. Jun saw his wife lay down on the bed with her feet up on one from the pillow. He is surprised to see the amount of her swollen ankle.

"what happened to your feet, baby?" Jun is going closer to his wife and touching her swollen feet.

"It is normal for pregnant women like me. Do not to worry for my swollen feet," Bella tries to comfort her worry husband.

"No… I will ask Collin to check on you… I will see if we can break this trip to two-day journey rather than on thirteen hours flight," Jun did not want her to negotiate about this stuff.

"Jun, you are too much," Bella is complaining to her husband over possessive care.

Jun ignored his wife plea and walked toward his phone to tell Ben to go the second plan. They will stop over in Dubai and continue the day after tomorrow. Jun also tell Ben to come to his bedroom with his medical equipment to check on Bella.

It did not take a long time when Collin comes with Mia. He brought his medical equipment to check patient, including the baby heart detector. Collin comes to the room to see Bella lay down with her feet already elevate on top of pillow.

Collin opens his bag and take out his stethoscope to check her vital. He also checks her blood pressure as her visible symptoms include swollen on her hand and feet. Her feet swollen excessively compare to Cecile. 

"Bella, can you go to the bathroom and pee on this cup?" Collin handed her the small plastic cup with the cover. Bella moves her feet down and stand up slowly as her head started to a little bit spinning.

Jun is holding her arm and helped her to the bathroom. he helped her to sit on the toilet before standup next to her.

"Jun, you need to leave… I can not pee if you are standing and looking at me like this," Bella starts to protest to him.

"I am going to turn my body, but I am standing in here. I am worried with your condition like this," Jun is insisting to stay in the place where he stands up.

Bella can not argue anymore to Jun as he stands there like a statue. He did not want to take his wife protest when she can collapse any time due on her pregnancy.

Jun is helping her to stand up and hold the tube with her pee. She is going to the sink to wash her hand with soap. She put her body inside his right arm as his left hand is holding her pee.

They are going back to the room where Jun is handing her pee to Collin who already used his medical gloves to receives the pee. He dipped the stick on her pee when the indicator tells him there is blood on her pee. The indicator shows that her protein level is quite high. 

His suspicion on her level of protein lead to pre-eclampsia symptoms. However, the good news is her baby's movement and heart rate all within normal range and there is not opening on the birth way.

"how is she, Collin?" Jun is asking him about his wife condition after he is back from washing his hand from the bathroom. He is really worried with her condition at the moment.

"she is developing the symptoms of pre-eclampsia. It is still early at this stage and her blood pressure within the normal ranges. She needs to bed rest and not tire herself," Collin advises his best friend as Bella can lost her life if he did not careful.

"How bad is her condition at the moment? Do I need to cancel the trip and turn the plane back?" Jun is asking him the advice before he made a decision without consulting the doctor team.

"Jun… if you dare to turn this plane around, I will open the emergency door and jump out from this plane. Do not dare to think an inch of idea to turn the plane around…" Bella straightens her body after hearing the plan from his husband. She was so happy to know about their trip to Swiss and her husband wanted to cancel it. Bella cannot let that thing happens.

"Bella, I am still consulting to the medical team. You need to be patient with the result. However, if the verdict from Collin said that your life is in danger, I am still going to turn this plane back to Imperial city," Jun is telling her with his stern and no expression face.

Bella straight away pouted her mouth to give her protest expression. She even stares to Collin and let him to advise about the normal condition. She already suspected that she got pre-eclampsia on her pregnancy as the symptom already crystal clear.

However, her condition is getting worse as she saw the video when Jun is getting targeted by sniper this morning on the court room. She becomes agitated and stress out which resulted into her spike body condition. Her blood pressure actually quite high in the afternoon and she manages to drink the medicine to lower her blood pressure. 

"Jun, she just need rest at the moment to stabilize her condition. Bed rest will be the best option from her condition. She did not need to drink any thing as her condition is not that bad as I thought," Collin is telling the truth to everyone in the room, especially to his best friend, Jun.

"Jun…." Bella keeps protesting to Jun.

"Listen… you have to be on the bed regarding to the doctor. Let me arrange your dinner to deliver to the room and I will tell them to deliver the food to our room so you can enjoy it on the bed," Jun is telling his wife about the prescription he got from Collin about her condition. He makes her to lay down and put pillow to elevate her discomfort. He helped her to put her feet up to reduce the swollen feet.

"Jun, you do not need to react too much on your wife… she is not made from porcelain that need your constant check or tell… she just needs to rest and eliminate the bad thought inside your mind… remember your body is not the same as before," Collin advises her about her condition. Collin needs to hide the real condition of Bella to Jun. otherwise, Jun will be paranoid, and they will be doomed with his level of protection and care.

Bella understands that Collin is hiding her real condition as the blood pressure was giving hint to Collin. No one knows about the movement on the blood pressure machine except Collin and Bella. She nodded her face and whisper 'thank you to her best friend for hiding it well in front of her husband.
