Kapitel 64: Chapter 60
Earlier.
" Good day, Mr. Standford. " The middle-aged Female pediatrician greeted acknowledging his presence as soon as he entered her office.
" Hm. " He replied simply as he took a seat in front of the table.
" So you called for me, doc? "
" Yes, I did, Mr. Standford, it's actually about your newborn daughter. " She replied.
" Oh, so what about her? " He replied calmly though inside he wasn't.
" Well, the results of the blood test show that your daughter had gotten the sickle cell gene. " She said and paused a little Watching his expression from her large Spectacles.
" My God! So it means that she's Sickle celled? " He asked trying to confirm, his hands became cold all of a sudden as he still couldn't believe that his worst fear came true after all.
" You are right, Mr. Standford, She's indeed born sickle celled, her red blood cells are sickle-shaped instead of being the usual Disc-shaped that other people with other blood groups have, due to this she might experience episodes of pain as she grows older when her red blood cells get stuck at the joints in the body. " She explained.
Listening to this, Adam's face turned pale as he clenched his fists tightly that his knuckles turned white, the composed, Ruthless, and Blank-faced CEO was nowhere to be found at this moment as what's left is a father who's very worried about his newborn child.
" Is... Is there a way to avoid this pain? " He stuttered a little though he could already guess what the answer would be, He was scared not for himself but for his newly born daughter who was going to face a lot of pain.

" It can only be controlled, she'll be prescribed some meds that she'll take to reduce the pain. " She replied.
" Oh, but she's still a baby, doc! " He said.
" I know that but it still doesn't mean that she won't experience the pain once in a while though she might not experience it for now she might in her early childhood. " She Paused.
" You have to be ready and careful at all times, She must be kept warm at all times as she'll be very vulnerable to cold. "
" Alright, doc, but will she still be able to live her life as a normal child? " He inquired, he couldn't imagine his daughter living a life of pain just because of their choices, he wouldn't want her to suffer because of them.
" She will if and only if she's well taken care of and Nurtured. "
" Is this all, doc? "
" Hm, That reminds me, she might have some deformity in the parts of her body. " She noted.
" Deformities like? "
" Well, her toes might be more shortened when compared to others and she might also look paler than her peers but this can be prevented if she's getting the right multivitamins supplements. "
Adam just nodded as he was still having a hard time digesting all this information Will she has the episodes often? "
" Not really, perhaps once a week or month depending on her body, but well, we'll know when the time comes. "

" Do you have any more questions, Mr. Standford? " She asked.
" No, thanks for the information about gonorrhea. " He replied standing up as he took the doctor's hand for a handshake.
" My pleasure always, I hope you'll remember to bring the mother and daughter for postnatal care weekly. "
" I will, doc. "
" Okay, I will be expecting you guys then. "
Adam just nodded as he walked out of Doctor Rhea's office with bold steps.
Dr. Rhea the Middle-aged Pediatrician was Bemused by him, not only did he accept his newborn daughter wholeheartedly despite her ailment, but he was also very worried about her being in pain.
She now saw him in higher regard and she also has a very good impression of him now.
' How many men this day will be willing to accept a sickler as a daughter? ' she thought.
She recalled the determination she saw in his face earlier.
Just like the Female Gynecologist doctor, she thought.
' I wish all men were like this. '

As Lucy heard his words, she couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
She started to feel very guilty as she realized that because of their choices, their newborn daughter, jemmy might end up living a life of pain.
Seeing her expression, Adam could roughly guess what she was thinking.
He carefully dropped the child on the Bbedand then he pulled Lucy into his embrace as he comforted her.
" It's going to be alright, Honey, we just need to keep believing and hoping," he said.
" Hm. " Lucy nodded as she buried her head in his warm and comforting embrace.
The duo remained like that for a very long time in eerie silence.
