His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1287 Infertility

Was it simply because they indulged their affair too many times, enough that she developed such

delusion?

Despite the fact that Rachel offered him an impressive romantic experience, in his mind, Alan only

laughed at Rachel's stupidity—he would not satisfy her demand as she hoped. All he offered was a

spoken promise. "Alright, shares are not a big deal. I'll arrange a meeting with Holley to buy her

shares."

Upon hearing this, Rachel gained some hopefulness and it made her day.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Suddenly enveloping Alan in an embrace, Rachel kissed him excitedly.

Of course, Rachel was delighted to know that she had Alan's help. With his support, she could certainly

take back the company. Unfortunately, she was not aware that as soon as he left the hotel, he rang up

Holley immediately.

"Hello, Miss Ye? This is Alan. I was wondering when you would be available—I have some information

that may interest you."

It took Holley a moment to recall that Alan was the general manager of a company of the average scale

as Tarsan Corporation.

Because of his nasty habit of staring at women with creeping eyes and flirting with basically any woman

he met, she already had a vague impression of the man. With such little business talent, chances were

that he was simply a man slumbering in the tender land.

On that note, Holley wasn't inclined to meet Alan. Moreover, she didn't believe he knew of any crucial

secret—he was simply making something up to take advantage of her.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, I'd love to, but I'm really busy these days. Why don't you just tell me what it is over the

phone?"

Even with her response, Alan wasn't phased—he was convinced that he could somehow make it

happen.

"As for the secret, it's better to discuss it face to face. Talking over the phone isn't so convenient, is it?

So, when are you available, Miss Ye?"

This time, Alan was completely certain that Holley would agree to come. Conquering such a woman

sounded incredibly engaging.

Alan's little excuse sounded hilarious to Holley. 'Please, is there really anything that can't be discussed

on the phone?' Without any more time to waste on him, Holley merely claimed to be busy and hung up

the phone immediately.

Unsurprisingly, Holley didn't take it seriously and just went back to her loads of paperwork. Ever since

she became the general manager, she was put in charge of far more business than in her previous

position. Fortunately, Rachel got used to assigning all the hard tasks to her. That served as good

training for her to adapt and gain competence in handling the work with ease.

Yet, soon after, her phone rang. Once again, Alan was on the other end of the line, testing Holley's

patience.

After a long while, she eventually picked up the phone.

The way Holley abruptly hung up the call left Alan irritated. Because he was in a rather high rank,

people usually treated him with appropriate respect. No one would dare do what Holley just did to him. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After a second thought, however, he decided to forgive her—a beauty like Holley deserved such

privilege.

"Miss Ye, I do sincerely hope to share some news about Rachel. Are you sure you don't want to meet

and discuss things, face to face?"

Initially, Holley didn't mean to take it so seriously. But once she heard Rachel's name, she was

engaged instantly—she couldn't help wondering if Rachel was causing trouble to her again.

"Well, Mr. Zhao, I suppose I can try to make it." It was very clear to Holley that Rachel was a silly

woman and wouldn't succeed at achieving her clumsy goals, no matter how hard she tried. Still, her

curiosity drove her to accept Alan's invitation.

"I'll see you tomorrow at Red Leaves Club. I'm looking forward to meeting you, Mr. Zhao."

With that, all Alan could do was think about his meeting with Holley and let his imagination run wild.

After a while, Holley called Black to inform him that he didn't need to pick her up the next day because

she had her own arrangements.

Black was a little too close to her. From her perspective, however, Tarsan Corporation was already

under her control so he was no longer considered a valuable asset. Still, she couldn't simply shoo him

away so she had to distance herself from him gradually.

Meanwhile, at the hospital, Cassie made inquiries about Leila's ward.

In order to be in charge of checking on Leila, Cassie had her shifts switched with her colleagues'.

It was the first time Cassie ever went so far to stick her nose into someone else's business, so she was

inevitably feeling nervous. As she went about her normal round, she went to the front of Leila's ward

and prepared to knock when she heard Leila talking to someone, making her freeze in her place and

wait.

Apparently, Leila was on the phone.

"What are you talking about? The poison had components that could lead to infertility?"

Incredibly angry, she suddenly raised her voice. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Clearly, Leila was almost pissed off to death. When the bastard was selling the medicine, he was

completely sure that it had no side effect at all. So of course, she was reassured and bought it.

The doctors told her that the rest of the poisonous matter had already been extracted so that her body

could start recovering. They only needed her to stay in the hospital a few more days for observation.

However, since she was in the hospital, Leila felt that there was something wrong with her body. The

first symptom was her unusually prolonged period, which she didn't regard as anything serious at first

because she never got it regularly, anyway. It might have been just because she was taking a lot of

medicines and getting treated at the hospital.

Since the other day, she had been experiencing a dull pain in her underbelly with an increasing amount

of leucorrhoea—an indication of gynecological symptoms. But when she consulted with the

gynecologist, she was told that nothing was wrong with her body. That night, the pain in her belly

escalated but the doctor just kept telling her the same thing—everything was fine.

After experiencing so many troubles back and forth, Leila began to truly believe that something was off.

The medicine seemed to put her in a worse condition so she thought, perhaps, the problem was in the

drug.

Perturbed, Leila called up the salesman. But even he explained that such reactions were only

temporary. The medicine was smuggled from foreign countries so, in truth, he had no idea about its

components. All he knew about was the abdominal pain that could occur after taking it.

Hearing his vague answers, Leila didn't believe the guy anymore. Judging from his ambiguous

statements, she could tell that he was holding something back.

After she insisted on questioning him repeatedly, he got embarrassed enough to admit the drug's

biggest side effect—it could lead to a woman's lifelong infertility.

'Lifelong infertility?!'

Leila was outraged.

Almost crushing her cellphone in her hold, she was shocked speechless. Infinite fears came surging

toward her like huge waves.

Never did she imagine that she would be given such outrageous news.

After all, what could be more damaging than infertility for a woman at her age who had not yet been

married or given birth to a child?

Leila's face turned ashen as her lips trembled—she couldn't say a word.

Because she was frozen speechless, the guy on the other end of the line could only hear her gasps for

air. Although he wanted to try and console her with kind words, he was too afraid that Leila would snap

at him again so instead, he hung up at once.
