He sat cross-legged on the sofa, absorbed in watching TV.
He emanated an air of unparalleled arrogance.
Lucinda couldnât help but feel puzzled.
âYou finished work early today.
Arenât you busy?â
âNo really.
â
Nathan had deliberately returned home early.
âThe thing is, Iâve received an urgent mission from the National Security Bureau for tomorrow night.
I have to head to the border.
â
âTomorrow night?â Lucinda sat down beside him and inquired, âHow long will you be gone since you have to leave in such a rush?â
âProbably about three days.
Canât say for sure now.
â
Lowering her head, Lucinda fell into deep thought.
âAlright.
I have made an appointment with the doctor at the hospital the day after tomorrow.
I initially wanted you to go with me.
â
Nathan held her in his arms and examined her carefully to ensure she was unharmed.
âWhy are you going to the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?â
âNo.
â
Recalling Nortonâs words earlier in the day, Lucinda forced an awkward smile.
âWhen I went out earlier during the day, I met grandpa.
He seemed to be.
.
He wants to have a great-grandson.
To say the truth, Iâm quite confused as well.
Weâve been intimate so many times.
Why havenât I gotten pregnant?â
Nathan followed her eyes and looked at her belly.
He narrowed his dark eyes and said nothing.
They had been intimate countless times, yet she hadnât conceived.
The reason was thatâ¦
Something was wrong with his body.
The S404 Virus on Nathanâs body posed an insurmountable challenge.
Even if Lucinda truly carried his child, the likelihood of passing on the virus to the child was very high.
Inevitably, the child would endure immense suffering.
Nathan hesitated to suggest contraceptive pills to her, fearing it might raise suspicion.
Fortunately, there were pills available for men that had no adverse effects on their bodies.
So, each time they engaged in intimacy, he discreetly took those pills without Lucindaâs knowledge.
