"What's going on?" I said almost afraid of the answer. What if he had changed his mind about marrying me. “Lila, just like your son Kyle, I was born with a heart defect,” he said, the words hanging in the air between us like a heavy cloud. “A congenital condition.

“The boy has the same arrhythmia you had as a child.” A heavy silence settled between them. Alexander’s fingers curled into a fist. His expression remained unreadable, but Kelvin had known him for too long not to recognize the tension in his shoulders, the way his jaw clenched ever so slightly. “How common is this condition?” Alexander finally asked, his voice controlled and measured. “Extremely rare,” Kelvin answered immediately. “There are only a handful of recorded cases in the country. The odds of two unrelated individuals having it are nearly impossible.” The weight of that statement thickened in the air.

“That’s all it is.” Dr. Walker’s expression doesn’t change. He sets the chart down and clasps his hands in front of him. “We ran some tests after you were admitted.

"Wait, I see one heartbeat there." "So she's having only one?" Adom asked. "I'm not sure just yet." She answered. "I can see a flutter on the left as well. Heartbeats are strong, which is good. I see only one; well, it's rare for an omega to carry one child; many times they carry more than two children, and sometimes only two." She took more pictures of the baby. "I thought a baby would be the size of a grain of rice; he or she looks bigger than that," Allen says, looking at Monika.

[Elara] Two hearts. Just thinking about it gives me shivers. Not because the reality of it terrifies me, but because it should be impossible. How can someone even have two hearts? Have I read something about this before? A similar case of a human born with two separate but perfectly healthy, functioning hearts? No. I didn’t. Not in my lifetime. But yes, there have been rumours. Stories. Something you hear, marvel at, and then forget. But this…this isn’t some rumour. Or story. This is real. As real as it can be.

She is a hundred times more scarier than Gorilla herself! I smiled shaking my head and I opened the page 224. Cardiology, great. The thing about cardiology is, a heart is a muscle.

] "This smells like much more problems." [You Have obtained Skill - Calm Heart] [Calm Heart (Unique) -Rid of Emotions] [Active Skill] "What the hell?" My eyes squinted. I had a feeling in my heart... Both of my hearts appeared to have slowed dramatically. I put my hand on my chest Thump. … … Thump. I then put my hand on my lower stomach. Thump. … … Thump. Finally, without even a small difference, both of my hearts began to beat in the same rhythm simultaneously!

He'd stuck the third needle where Leland's heart should be, so why wasn't he dead? Just what on earth was going on? Unless… Leland's heart wasn't on the left! Cassian started considering that possibility. It was common knowledge that the human heart was on the left side of the chest, but there were rare exceptions. In extremely uncommon cases, due to rotation during embryonic development, a heart could grow on the right side instead. It was a condition so rare it appeared in only one out of a million people.
