Pregnant With Twins: My CEO’s Tricky Love

Robert smiled. He seemed calm and capable of accepting his current results, even if they could be bad.

“Robert, I think your checkup results look a lot like you have cancer. But for other people, it might be lymphatic cancer, lung cancer, or stomach cancer, et cetera, something that relates to a certain organ. With you, though, I feel like every single one of your organs is going through cancerous mutation, while it also doesn’t seem like a real tumor.”

Robert felt like he didn’t quite understand his brother’s explanation, and chuckled exasperatedly.

“Can you explain it in simple words?”

“You learned this in high school biology too. Cancer cells are a type of mutated cells. They’re different from normal cells and can reproduce endlessly, then destroy normal cell tissue and cause cancer. That’s why the cancer medication on the market right now focus on killing cancer cells. But actually, cancer cells themselves have a substance known as cyclic adenosine monophosphate, or cAMP. This can turn cancer cells into healthy cells to begin with, and it’s part of the body’s immune system.

“I feel like large swaths of your body have already undergone cancerous mutation, but similarly, there’s a large concentration of cAMP in your body. Seems like that’s causing part of your body to undergo cancer, while the other part is keeping it at bay. Those two seem to be conflicting with another, so part of your organs seem normal, while the other parts seem abnormal, instead of it being wholesale deterioration as it is in cancer, or being completely cancer-free like normal people. Of course, that’s just my hypothesis.”

That was easier for Robert to digest, and he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Two poisons battling for dominance in my body? Sounds like science fiction. There are two battling forces in my body, one hurting me, one protecting me, and the two forces are in equilibrium, which is why I look normal, correct?”

“Generally, I guess, but the cancer cells count as poison, while cAMP is a substance that’s protecting you. I just don’t understand why your body became this way. Normal people don’t go through this. If there’s a large enough concentration of cAMP, the cancer cells would just die off instead of evening out.”

Ivan felt like he’d encountered an academic conundrum.

“This is the most astonishing checkup report I’ve seen in my life. I’ll have the overseas side ready to test you. We have to hurry. You might look fine right now and what’s in you is protecting you, but who knows. One day, there might be a sudden change. It’s daytime over there right now, so I’ll give that friend of mine a call.”

Saying that, Ivan hurriedly took up his phone and walked to a quiet corner, dialing said friend’s number.

Robert sat quietly on the sofa, a bit at a loss right now.

He wasn’t afraid of death, but it’d been such a hard drudge getting back to Georgia and Annie’s side.

He wanted to live long together with Georgia, wanted to watch his daughter grow up, watch Wesley grow up.

He didn’t want his mother Maisie to have to see him go into the earth when he was supposed to be the younger.

So there was a strong desire in his heart.
