Chapter 38
Asher had lost count of how many times he had tapped his fingers on the table. His brain seemed to be working hard, trying to figure out how to unravel the mystery of who the man was that had impregnated Nicole.
From the medical results provided by Ezra, it was clear that Alex was indeed diagnosed with infertility. The amount of sperm he produced was significantly lower than that of a normal man. That’s why Alex had difficulty fertilizing. Even if he underwent treatment, it would take quite some time.
“Asher… sorry to disturb you. These are the examination results of the patient who just underwent surgery.”
Alden arrived and immediately handed over the file containing the diagnosis results of the patient he had just handled. Seeing Asher nodding disinterestedly, Alden became curious.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem with the patient?”
Asher shook his head.
“No. It’s about Aurora.”
Hearing Aurora’s name mentioned, Alden became instantly interested. It seemed like he knew what his colleague might be thinking.
“About her husband’s affair?”
Asher turned to look at him. He quickly glanced at Alden.
“Sorry…” Alden corrected himself hastily. “I didn’t mean to meddle in your family affairs.”
“It’s okay,” Asher replied afterwards. “It seems like it’s become common knowledge. Besides, according to Aurora, you were the one who showed her evidence of her husband’s behavior.”
Alden nodded. At that time, he just wanted Aurora to know what was really going on. He certainly didn’t want the woman he still loved to claim she was happy with a faithful husband when he was fooling around with another woman outside.
“I didn’t mean to interfere. I was just afraid Aurora would think I deliberately broke up her marriage. But, I couldn’t bear to see Aurora being played around like that.”
“Yes,” Asher nodded. “In fact, I’m grateful because you opened Aurora’s eyes to see what kind of man her husband really is. Now, we just have to wait for Aurora and Alex to officially divorce.”
Feeling a breath of fresh air, there was a sense of joy enveloping Alden when he heard the news that Aurora would be divorcing soon. It wasn’t that he was happy about his ex-girlfriend’s sadness. It’s just that, this way, Alden had the chance to get closer and try to win Aurora’s heart back so they could resume their serious relationship like before.
“But…” Asher continued after a brief pause. “Unfortunately, there’s still an important matter I need to help resolve.”
“Are you referring to Aurora and Alex’s marriage?”
“Yes. It’s about Nicole. My cousin and the woman who became Alex’s mistress. She claims to be pregnant with his child. And now, she even insists on living together with Alex.”
“Oh my God.”
Alden inadvertently whispered softly. It must feel very painful to be Aurora, knowing that her husband not only cheated but also impregnated another woman.
“The problem is, Alex has medical records which show that he has difficulty having children.”NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Infertile, you mean?”
“Yes,” Asher nodded. “Because he’s considered unable to produce offspring, Aurora once invited Alex to undergo medical examinations together. And the result showed that Alex had a problem. But, foolishly, Aurora never shared the results with Alex or his family.”
“So, Aurora is still considered infertile until now?”
Asher sighed and nodded again.
“That’s why I need to find out. Who is the man who impregnated Nicole? Because it’s definitely not Alex’s child.”
Alden finally understood. He thought for a moment, then soon remembered something.
“Wait a minute. Some time ago, I saw this woman named Nicole leaving the apartment twice with another guy, and I’m sure it wasn’t Alex.”
Asher was startled. As if receiving a clue, he immediately shifted his attention to Alden.
“Seriously?”
Alden nodded.
“I remember one day after showing Alex’s affair to Aurora, the next day, this Nicole entered the apartment lobby with another guy. And two days ago, when I returned from my late shift, I also met them coming out of the elevator. I’m sure it’s the same guy.”
“Do you remember what he looked like?”
“I do,” Alden replied confidently. “But if you want a clearer picture, I can help you ask the apartment security to check the CCTV. From there, it can be investigated directly. Who knows, this guy might be the one who impregnated Nicole.”
Asher nodded happily at the information provided by Alden. Not wanting to waste time, after work, he immediately joined Alden to go to his colleague’s apartment.
