After the hangover, Ellis's head still throbbed slightly.
Groggily, he reached for the glass of water beside him, wanting to take a sip, only to find that it contained alcohol.
The moment he placed the glass on the coffee table, he heard the lawyer's voice and paused slightly. He then slowly set the glass down.
His eyes cast downward, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the result?"
As he spoke these words, he didn't notice the anticipation in his own voice.
The lawyer hesitated for a moment, seemingly afraid to answer, and only after a long pause did he respond softly.
"It's... azoospermia."
"..."
Fear tinged the lawyer's voice as if he had learned his own boss's darkest secret.
Ellis fell silent.
After a while, he replied calmly. "I see."
He ended the call.
Ellis's head dropped powerlessly, and then he gave a self-mocking laugh.
How stupid of him!
