The doctor shook his head gently, his expression serious. "I'm afraid not. You were indeed pregnant, but due to the early stage of the pregnancy, along with the impact and injuries you sustained, we were unable to save the baby."

Emma's face was drained of color. Her breath hitched, and her mind struggled to keep up with the doctor's words. She looked at Melissa, who stood frozen beside her.

"I... I was pregnant?" Emma's voice trembled as she tried to comprehend what she was hearing.

The doctor nodded, offering her a sympathetic look. "I know this is overwhelming, but the early stage of pregnancy made it difficult for us to detect the situation in time."
