Boss, Your Wife's Asking For A Divorce, Again

Chapter 623 Sonia’s Choice

“Really?” Tim asked with narrowed eyes, clearly a bit suspicious.

An unhappy Toby lifted his chin. “If you don’t believe me, you can cross-check with her later.”

“Well, since you’re saying that, I’ll explain it to you then.” At this point, Tim sobered and twirled his scalpel in between his fingers. “I assume you know about Sonia sending the woman named Jessica Reed to me for egg retrieval.”

“Yeah.” Toby inclined his head.

As Tim twirled the scalpel even faster, he continued, “I won’t beat around the bush then. I had the gynecology department conduct a detailed inspection of her body. Her reproductive system is a bit special wherein we cannot retrieve any eggs from it.”

“What do you mean by that?” Toby frowned.

“It means she’s a premature baby,” Tim answered. “Her reproductive system isn’t fully developed and her eggs are too weak to be viable once they’re taken out of her uterus. So, there’s no way to send them abroad for in-vitro fertilization.”

At that point, Toby pursed his lips as he never knew Jessica had such an illness. “Are there any solutions?” he asked in a low voice.

Leaning back in his chair, Tim replied, “While I don’t know why Sonia is insistent on having a child with Jessica’s genes, there is a solution if she’s hellbent on doing so. The solution is to have Jessica carry the pregnancy herself so that the eggs won’t have to be retrieved for in-vitro fertilization. Only then will her eggs be useful.”

While running a finger along the rim of his mug, Toby processed Tim’s words. “I see. I’ll let Sonia know and see where she plans to go from there.”

“Alright. You go ahead then.” Tim nodded. “But I have to warn you both that it won’t be easy for this woman to get pregnant either. As I said, her reproductive system isn’t fully developed and she’s going to need a long period of recuperation and a second complete puberty before her body can successfully carry a child.”

“How long would that take?” Toby cut to the chase.

After a moment of thought, Tim answered, “At least half a year, based on the report from the gynecology department. Furthermore, even if she manages to get pregnant, she’ll have to remain bedridden or risk miscarrying.”

“I see.” Toby then coolly asked, “She doesn’t know about your examination, does she?”

pig. How would she have found out?” Tim placed the scalpel away. “Relax.

“Good.” Toby relaxed.
