The phone was met with a prolonged silence, as pale as a piece of paper.
"Young master? Young master?"
"You said... pregnant?"
"Yes. Our people personally verified the blood. There can be no mistake."
Another silence ensued.
A faint murmur escaped Brian's throat, his rationality seemingly unable to control his vocal cords.
"Are you sure? Is this verifiable?"
"Certainly. After the embryo is implanted, it can be detected in the blood 8-10 days later. When a woman is pregnant, her body secretes a hormone that can be detected by medical equipment. However, this blood is not very fresh, so we are not entirely certain about the result. A woman's words may deceive, but hormones do not. Miss Allard never told you?"
