After finishing his statement, Alex moved out, and old man Eliot sat in his seat. Most of the leaders of the marketing department were not pleased, but they couldn't do anything. The boss was the final word. The women were dressed to their best, and it was known how the females in the company tried to get Alex's attention at every chance they got. Unknown to most, Alex wasn't their everyday man who would go weak at the sight of thighs and boobs.
"Let's begin," Came old man Eliot's order, and just like that, the meeting started and continued.
Alex left the elevator and headed toward the car, waiting for him at the company's entrance. One thought was in his mind, and he was scared. He couldn't wait to get to the hospital to find out what doctor Henry had to say about Malia's health. He hoped that it was good news.
The fact that Malia had been unconscious for two days now wasn't sitting well with him, and he wasn't in the mood for any bad news. Yes, she was pregnant, but the test didn't give a specific reason why she wasn't waking up, so doctor Henry had to carry out more tests just to be sure.
When he entered the hospital, he found doctor Henry waiting for him outside his office. "Mr. Ford" He bowed in respect.
Inside the office, after sitting down, doctor Henry handed Malia's test results to Alex. He went through the results, but the medical terms were complex for him to understand, so he looked at doctor Henry, hoping for him to break them.
"You know that your mat..., I mean, Miss. Thatcher has two embryos...." doctor Henry looked at Alex to ensure that he understood him, to which Alex nodded his head.
"We also know that her body is frail; to put it literally, Miss. Thatcher is not healthy to carry..." doctor Henry was cut off by Alex's glare. He out it wasn't good to the ears, but he had no other way to put it.
"As I was saying, Miss. Thatcher's body is not healthy enough to carry a baby, not to talk about two. The situation is more complex because the babies are your kind and are healthy embryos for her weak body. As we speak, her body is trying to come to terms with the new strong beings living in her. It's just two weeks, and she is this weak"
Alex, who was so happy after hearing that Malia was pregnant, became sad again. Yes, he wanted to have his own family but not at the expense of his mate's life. "So, do we have to remove the embryos?"
He would jump at any suggestion as long as his mate would get to live. He didn't want the fate of Malia to be decided by embryos.
"That won't be necessary. I won't have to remove the embryos because there is another option to keep her and the babies safe." Alex breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he wanted to get rid of the embryos, he still wanted to have them. How beautiful would it be to have a whole family he can call his own?
"Malia would have to remain unconscious for one month" doctor Henry turned to look at Alex as if to check for any changes in his expression, but the man was looking at him.
Alex's silence was like a go-ahead signal for him "To ensure that the three of them get to live healthy during the period that she gets to carry them, I will have to keep her unconscious for four weeks. After that, Miss. Thatcher will feed through the tubes and avoid any stress or anything that would weigh down the progress of strengthening her body. During this period, I will nurture her body and ensure that her body is strong enough for the babies to grow healthy."
"And you are sure she will be fine after lying there for one month?" Alex was hoping that during the period that Malia would be living with him, he would take it upon himself to get close to her, but seeing that she would be unconscious, he had to satisfy his curiosity.
Doctor Henry expected this question from Alex; he is a businessman. The loss wasn't something that he welcomed readily. "Yes, it would work. That is, if the environment is safe and she never misses her dozes. Her body would need to be massaged three times a week just to maintain her blood floor."
Alex was glad that he would get a healthy mate at the end of the three months, but he was confused because Malia was still unconscious. So how was it going to be done?
"For now, we shall start her treatment after she wakes up to get the medicines. I sent a nurse to go and inject some medicine into her system.
"I thought you were the one in charge of her treatment. Please do not send any other doctors or nurses to treat my mate. It's either you or no one else" With that, Alex stood to leave the office. He was glad that it wasn't as bad as he had expected. At least he gets to keep both mother and children. He couldn't be happier, for the moon goddess was looking at him.
