Adrien felt as though he had walked into a trap, but he could not tell how.
He wondered if he was overthinking it.
However, there was no turning back. It would be very awkward if he decided not to go to the male fertility specialist instead.
âLetâs go! Iâm not scared!â Adrien huffed. He added, âYou promised me if Iâm proven to be a real man, you have to marry me.â
âOf course!â Emmeline nodded. âLetâs go.â
Adrien strode proudly out of the suite.
At the parking lot, Adrien wanted Emmeline to sit in the backseat of his car. That way, they could mess around a little on the way there.
He did not expect Emmeline to put on her helmet, ride on her motorcycle, and drive off without him!
âFollow her!â Adrien said sullenly to the driver.
The two people went to the male fertility specialist.
Adrien followed behind the nurse confidently.
Fifteen minutes later, the door to the examination room opened, and Adrien stepped out defeatedly.
Emmeline went up to Adrien eagerly. âSo how is it, Adrien? Are you capable?â
Adrien was on the verge of tears. âI⦠This is impossible. I was perfectly fine this morning, but how did⦠It didnât want to stand up no matter what they did!â
âI knew it!â Emmeline pretended to look frustrated. âYouâve been messing around in the Imperial Palace for too long. Who knows what you caught back there?â
âThis is impossible! Impossible!â Abelâs face turned pale. âHow am I going to live?â
The nurse handed Adrien his test report. âAdrien Ryker? This is yours.â
Adrien grabbed the nurseâs hands.
Tell me, am I still capable?â
The nurse pulled her hands away and shot a derisive glare. âGo and ask the doctor. I canât tell.â
Adrien ran to the doctorâs office.
âPlease, you have to save me! I have a woman waiting for me to marry her!â
âOf course, thatâs the entire reason my patients come here. Take your medicine and do what I say. The road to recovery is a long one,â the doctor said.
âHow long will it take?â Adrien asked frantically.
âI donât know. Next!â
Another man came into the office defeatedly and shoved Adrien away.
âSorry to hear about that, Adrien,â Emmeline sald as she took the report from Adrienâs hand. âIâll be meeting your grandfather.â
âWhat for?â Adrien asked.
âIâm handing this to him.â
Emmeline waved the report in her hand. âThis is the proof that I canât marry you.â
Adrien teetered and nearly fell on the floor.
What happened? I was still capable in the morning! Adrien could not find an answer.
Emmeline went to the VIP ward of Rykerâs Hospital. She saw Abel coming her way.
Emmeline showed him the report in her hand. âIâm here to look for Oscar.â
Abel took the report and flipped through it. His eyes widened.
Adrien isâ¦
âHow did you know?â Abel asked.
âI was guessing. Itâs not a surprising conclusion for people who frequent those places,â Emmeline said.
âI thoughtâ¦â Abel dared not finish the sentence.
âYou must be overthinking. Donât you trust the doctors?â Emmeline said coldly.
Ahem. Iâll bring you to visit Grandfather,â Abel said.
Emmeline took the report from his hand. âYou should go and accompany Alana.â
âEmma, Iâll put an end to this.â
âIt doesnât concern me!â Emmeline waved without looking back before she entered Oscarâs ward.
Abel remained there, dumbfounded.
âIâm here to visit Mr. Ryker.â
âHeâs inside,â Oscarâs assistant said without looking at Emmeline.
âSo howâs Adrien?â Oscar asked.
Emmeline handed the report to Oscar.
Oscar flipped through the pages and sighed. âThat useless kid.â
