Chapter 153 Logan Wakes Up to Find
Moore rode his motorcycle with Jodie to a suburban hospital and explained their intentions to the doctor.
"Doctor, my sister is in her ovulation period. She wants to have artificial insemination."
The female doctor in her fifties removed her glasses and looked at the siblings, finding their request somewhat unusual.
It was her first time seeing a brother accompanying his sister for artificial insemination.
She extended her hand. "Show me your marriage certificate."
"Marriage certificate?" Jodie was bewildered.
Moore quickly signaled her, then said to the doctor, "Doctor... we rushed out and forgot it."
"Then you'll have to return tomorrow with your husband and bring the marriage certificate. We can arrange it then," the female doctor said.
Moore looked troubled. "Doctor, we've been waiting for this day for a long time... We're just worried that it won't be as effective tomorrow. Could you make an exception?"
"That's not possible!" The female doctor refused firmly. "If everyone did this without a marriage certificate, it would create chaos in society! What if someone wanted to frame their boss or become a home-wrecker? Absolutely not! You need a marriage certificate and should come with your spouse to sign written consent forms."
Moore continued to persuade and even attempted to bribe the doctor with money.
However, the doctor's response was quite stern. " Don't get me into trouble! Doctors cannot accept bribes!"
In the end, Jodie and Moore left with disappointment.
As they left the doctor's office, Jodie furrowed her brows and looked at her brother. "What should we do?"
"How should I know? I never thought you needed a marriage certificate for this."
Moore complained and cast a disdainful glance at his sister. "It's all your fault! You couldn't even handle a nerd like that! He kept calling his girlfriend's name when he held me just now! If you can't get pregnant with his child, you probably won't have a chance to marry into that rich family!"
Jodie's face darkened when she heard that Logan, in his drunken state, had been calling out Adeline's name. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
She handed the freezer to her brother. "You wait for me here. I'll go to the restroom."
With that, Jodie headed towards the women's restroom.
As she squatted down, she noticed a flyer on the restroom door.
It read: "Infertility treatment, artificial insemination with male offspring guaranteed, ultrasound scans for gender." Below were a series of phone numbers.
Jodie's eyes lit up, and she quickly tore off the flyer and ran out.
"Moore, there's a solution! These small clinics surely won't have such strict requirements as the big hospitals!"
Moore's eyes brightened, and he immediately called the doctor's number from the flyer.
They were given an address, and Jodie and Moore followed the instructions to find a run-down small house.
Seeing the entrance, Jodie felt a bit uneasy.
"Moore, is this going to work?" she asked hesitantly.
Moore pulled her forward. "Of course! Fortune favors the bold! Don't you want to be like the elite ladies of high society, driving luxury cars and spending days on beauty treatments and shopping?"
Jodie imagined that scenario and nodded.
Upon entering the clinic, they saw an older man in his sixties wearing a white doctor's coat.
The older man looked them up and down. "You come here for medicine so late at night? Don't worry; my family has three generations of expertise in gynecology."
Jodie frowned and glanced inside. "Is there no female doctor?"
The older man snorted. "Our family specializes in medical techniques for conceiving sons, and we pass our skills down only to males! Take it or leave it!"
Moore quickly shook the older man's hand. "Sir, we'll take it!"
He then glared at his sister. "Do you not want to marry a rich guy?"
Thinking about having this older man examine her, Jodie felt uncomfortable.
But then, she thought about Logan calling out Adeline's name while drunk. She clenched her teeth and nodded.
Seeing Jodie's compromise, the older man softened his tone. "Give me your hand; let me check your pulse."
Moore quickly explained, "Doctor, we're not here for health check-ups; we want to have artificial insemination."
He showed the older man the test tube.
"Oh? You're here for that?" The older man sounded surprised, but his eyes grew sinister after glancing at Jodie. "I can do that, but you must be fully anesthetized."
Jodie followed the older man into a separate room, leaving her brother outside.
After being injected with anesthesia, Jodie lost consciousness.
An hour later, she felt her body had been torn apart, and she struggled to get out of bed.
"Doctor, why am I in so much pain?"
The old man touched his beard and replied, "You have no sexual experience, and you're also taking in the man's sperm. Naturally, it will be quite uncomfortable."
Jodie realized it made sense and paid the money. Despite the pain, she gritted her teeth and limped back home with her brother.
As dawn broke, Logan woke up and immediately sensed that something was different about his body.
