“What?”
Adrian thought he must have misheard, asking again after a moment of stunned silence.
Being sterile was one thing.
But not being able to have a physical relationship? What did that mean?
Dr. Lawson was very direct. “You’re impotent.”
Adrian was rendered speechless.
Daniel broke out in a sweat. It really was a hot summer.
He spoke up, asking, “Can it be treated? What about with Ms. Hayes’s medicine?”
Dr. Lawson replied, “I’m not sure about that. You’d have to ask Ms. Hayes. All I know is that the test results show impotence.”
*Please, stop saying that word,* Daniel thought.
He politely saw Dr. Lawson out.
Returning to Adrian’s side, he said, “Don’t worry, sir. It could just be a side effect of the trauma. Maybe it will get better with time.”
Adrian was silent for a long moment. “You said I took the X-1 she gave me?”
“Are you implying that… she did this?”
It was hard not to be suspicious.
After all, Isabel had poisoned Adrian before.
But their current relationship was incredibly fragile.
Daniel said, “Mr. Blackwell, I don’t think she would…”
Suddenly, a thought struck him. “But her right hand is still weak. She called that boy, Edmund, to help her. So…”
Perhaps Edmund had slipped something into the medicine when Isabel wasn’t looking.
But that would need to be verified.
“I’ll look into it. If your wife comes, please don’t ask her about this. If you’ve misunderstood, your relationship with her…”
The words had barely left his mouth when the door to the hospital room opened.
Isabel walked in.
She had her hands in her pockets and wasn't carrying anything.
Clearly, this wasn't a social visit.
“How are you?” she asked directly. “Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?”
Daniel’s heart sank. *Could it really have been her?*
He felt it was best not to stay and slipped out of the room.
Inside the room.
