Chapter 62 Conceiving A Baby.
The first two words that registered in Leonica’s brain was ’Conceive’ and ’Baby’ and best believe it, her brain hung, trying to reboot itself but always failing as the confusion she was experiencing acted like a bug.
Unbeknownst to Doctor Bailey, he continued on, tone urgent. "Medically speaking, I advice that the child be conceived as soon as possible, because as it stands, he or she needs to be at least five years of age before they can undergo any form of surgery. And looking at Ashley’s medical charts, he only has that long, no more, no less."
"That...you have to be kidding me, right?" Leonica questioned, shifting in her seat as she felt prejudice against the doctors words.
Much to her dismay, Doctor Bailey shook his head. "As a matter of fact, I’m dead serious. Ashley’s life depends on that marrow transplant."
"But...can’t, can’t they be another way? Must we...must it be him?" Gabriel’s brows creased in a questioning and very much offended manner at the way she addressed him.
"Yes, of course. Ashley’s sibling must have matching genes in other for the operation to be a success. So in other words, his sibling must be conceived by the same mother, from the same sperm seed." Doctor Bailey explained. However, only after a few seconds did he register the look of hesitancy on Leonica’s face. This led him to ask. "Is something perhaps wrong?"
"Pardon?"
"Is Mr. Bryce perhaps having some... issues in bed?"
Leonica instantly choked on his question, coughing a few times. Gabriel on the other hand, was quick to speak.
"Absolutely not, doctor. As a matter of fact," He glanced at Leonica, a smirk stretching across his lips. "Leonica and I, just had one of the best sex a week or so ago."
Once again, Leonica choked, coughing more severely than the previous one. This time around, she had to request for water, which Bailey scrambled to get her, all the while Gabriel held back his laugh.
