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.

“Let’s go! I’m not scared!” Adrien huffed. He added, “You promised me if I’m proven to be a real man, you have to marry me.”

“Of course!” Emmeline nodded. “Let’s go.”

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!

“Follow her!” 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. “So how is it, Adrien? Are you capable?”

Adrien was on the verge of tears. “I… This is impossible. I was perfectly fine this morning, but how did… It didn’t want to stand up no matter what they did!”

“I knew it!” Emmeline pretended to look frustrated. “You’ve been messing around in the Imperial Palace for too long. Who knows what you caught back there?”

“This is impossible! Impossible!” Abel’s face turned pale. “How am I going to live?”

The nurse handed Adrien his test report. “Adrien Ryker? This is yours.”

Adrien grabbed the nurse’s hands. “Tell me, am I still capable?”

The nurse pulled her hands away and shot a derisive glare. “Go and ask the doctor. I can’t tell.”

Adrien ran to the doctor’s office.

“Please, you have to save me! I have a woman waiting for me to marry her!”

“Of course, that’s the entire reason my patients come here. Take your medicine and do what I say. The road to recovery is a long one,” the doctor said.

“How long will it take?” Adrien asked frantically.

“I don’t know. Next!”

Another man came into the office defeatedly and shoved Adrien away.

“Sorry to hear about that, Adrien,” Emmeline said as she took the report from Adrien’s hand. “I’ll be meeting your grandfather.”

“What for?” Adrien asked.

“I’m handing this to him.” Emmeline waved the report in her hand. “This is the proof that I can’t marry you.”

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 Ryker’s Hospital. She saw Abel coming her way.

Emmeline showed him the report in her hand. “I’m here to look for Oscar.”

Abel took the report and flipped through it. His eyes widened.

Adrien is…

“How did you know?” Abel asked.

“I was guessing. It’s not a surprising conclusion for people who frequent those places,” Emmeline said.

“I thought…” Abel dared not finish the sentence.

“You must be overthinking. Don’t you trust the doctors?” Emmeline said coldly.

“Ahem. I’ll bring you to visit Grandfather,” Abel said.

Emmeline took the report from his hand. “You should go and accompany Alana.”

“Emma, I’ll put an end to this.”

“It doesn’t concern me!” Emmeline waved without looking back before she entered Oscar’s ward.

Abel remained there, dumbfounded.

“I’m here to visit Mr. Ryker.”

“He’s inside,” Oscar’s assistant said without looking at Emmeline.

“So how’s Adrien?” Oscar asked.

Emmeline handed the report to Oscar.

Oscar flipped through the pages and sighed. “That useless kid.”
