The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 457

Harvey's words made Joseph’s mind race, and a look of grave concern crossed his face. He turned to his friend. “What’s wrong with me? Did the drug have lasting effects?”

His first thought was whether it would affect their plans to have another child.

“The ER doctor said you were given a large dose of a powerful sedative mixed with an aphrodisiac,” Harvey explained. “It was designed to induce a strong physiological reaction even while you were unconscious. Thankfully, your willpower is incredible. You fought it off. Otherwise…”

Otherwise, once the sedative knocked him out, his body would have remained in that hyper-aroused state. Even unconscious, the woman would have found a way to be “assaulted” by him.

Joseph stared at his friend, his expression unreadable. Clearly, he hadn't imagined they would resort to such a venomous tactic.

He would make them pay for this, tenfold, a hundredfold, once he found out who was behind it.

The effects of the drug hadn't fully subsided. After being awake for a short while, Joseph started to feel unwell again. A doctor came to treat him, and soon he drifted back to sleep.

…

At Riverdale Children’s Hospital, Vivica woke up just as the doctor was making his rounds. Chaim, noticing his father wasn’t there, asked curiously, “Mommy, did Daddy not come to stay with us last night?”

Vivica was slowly recovering and could now get out of bed and walk around a bit. Though she still felt occasional waves of dizziness, they were manageable.

She straightened her son’s clothes and looked into his expectant eyes. “Daddy had some very important work last night and couldn’t get away,” she explained gently. “He’ll come over as soon as he’s free today.”

After examining Chaim and comparing his latest results, Dr. Warren’s expression visibly softened.

“Ms. Lynn, the leukemia cells in his body have been effectively suppressed. This round of chemotherapy was quite successful. With the holidays approaching, you two can be discharged in the next day or two.”

“That’s wonderful! Thank you so much, Dr. Warren,” Vivica said, overjoyed and deeply grateful.
