"Have you experienced any major trauma in the past?" Doctor asked Zayn very solemnly.
"I had broken my legs before. I went through physical therapy as well as high technology surgery later on, so my legs have recovered now," Zayn answered.
"Then that makes sense. When you had broken your legs at that time, it indirectly affected your..." The doctor stopped mid-sentence, but Zayn understood what he wanted to say.
This information was like a bolt from the blue for Zayn. It never crossed his mind that his broken legs would affect that aspect of himself. After all, he had never thought of checking that aspect during his previous health checks. He asked quietly, "Can this...be ...cured?" 1
The doctor shook his head. "Nobody dares to promise anything on that. In any case, looking at the numbers, you are infertile."
Zayn was speechless. He turned to look at Tessa, who looked stunned.
"Tessa...I'm sorry," Zayn first apologized to Tessa.
The doctor had already left. He was only there to notify them of the result. Whether the patient had the ability to accept the news was not part of the doctor's responsibility.
"You may leave!" said Zayn calmly and miserably.
"I will leave without you telling me to!" said Tessa fiercely.
Zayn was speechless. Tessa turned around and left. After taking a few steps, she turned back. Zayn suddenly felt touched. He thought to himself if Tessa was willing to be with him at that moment, and was willing to go through thick and thin with him, then he would give the entire Smith Group to her. However, Tessa only said calmly, "Mister Smith! After what happened today, my bright future in the Ford Group is also gone!"
Zayn did not understand. "What does this have to do with your future in the Ford Group?"
