"I don't know, James," Hendry Covern menggeleng lemah. "What would your mother say if she heard all this?"
"She doesn't need to know about this," kata James. "Please, Father … just keep this between us. Besides, I always monitored the progress of these scientists' research in secret, Father. They managed to get one in a hundred women to become pregnant."
"But that's only one woman in a hundred, James. Can't you see? You still risk that woman's life."
"The chances of success are slim, Father. I know it. But still, it didn't make my hopes go away. After all, not a single woman who became the scientists' guinea pigs had their lives threatened in the test. They are still doing it today in the underground research room."
"I don't know, Son," Hendry Covern menghela napas dalam-dalam. "You've gone way beyond my presuppositions."
