Michelle was dazed as she took in the words of the OB-GYN who was a part of her surgery team.
"If even the IVF is not effective, you could always consider adoption."
The doctor had already left an hour ago, but she still had a hard time processing the information. She knew a lot of languages, and she understood each word the doctor uttered. Why can't she comprehend the thought in those sentences?
Tears started to well up in her eyes.
Riley just came from a nearby family restaurant. The takeout in his hand almost crashed onto the floor when he saw her expression.
She is hurt.
He calmed himself and placed the food on the table, then he sat on the bed.
He reached out to caress her cheek. He smiled, ever so gently at her.
"Riles, would you be okay if we could only adopt a child?"
He felt like an arrow had landed on his chest. He was also given the same explanation before she woke up.
She was already thinking of the worst case on her fertility.
