Chapter 117 Logan Told Adeline the Truth
There was a silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Logan's slightly heavy voice came through.
"Are you sure?"
Olivia's heart skipped a beat. "Brother... I..."
"You don't need to speculate it. Recently, our mom and Adeline have been acting strange, and I knew something was wrong between them, but I didn't expect it to be this serious."
Olivia felt her heart sink deeper and deeper.
Her thoughts were more progressive, and she always believed that fertility did not define a woman's worth. Hearing her older brother say this, she felt somewhat disappointed.
"Brother, do you really care about this issue?"
"Olivia, I won't give up on Adeline just because she can't conceive, but marriage is not as simple as you think. There are many factors to consider, especially for a prominent family like us. Now, I'm asking you, are you sure about this matter?"
"Yes, I saw the medical report," Olivia responded.
"Good, Olivia, don't get involved in this matter anymore. I'll handle it."
Olivia wanted to ask how did he plan to handle it but Logan hung up the phone before she could ask.
Feeling frustrated and upset, Olivia didn't call back.
When she returned to the Bay Hall apartment, Adeline and Curtis were resting in their respective rooms.
Staring at the two closed doors, Olivia recalled her mother's words and felt a sharp pain in her heart.
She felt sorry for Adeline, being used as a pawn and pushed onto her Uncle Curtis' bed, only to be denied the promises she deserved.
Olivia didn't know how to face Adeline, so she quietly retreated to her own room.
The next day, Adeline went to work as usual.
During her lunch break, a stranger in her late twenties found her in her office.
"Hello, are you Adeline, the literature teacher for Class C?" The woman asked.
Adeline nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Can we talk for a moment?" The woman had a gentle appearance and spoke with a soft and polite voice, making it hard to refuse her.
Adeline thought she was a parent and glanced at her watch before asking, "Can we go to the coffee shop across the school?"
"Sure."
With that, the two of them walked to the coffee shop.
As soon as they sat down, Adeline spoke, "Hello, may I ask which student's parent you are? Is there something you want to discuss with me?"
"I'm not a parent. I'm Logan's senior colleague and a doctor. Here's my business card."
Saying that, Dr. Hawkins handed over her business card.
Out of politeness, Adeline took the card and nodded. "May I ask what brings you here to see me?"
"Well, Logan asked me to take you for a fertility check-up. He said that if there are any issues, he wants me to help you with the treatment."
"A fertility check-up?" Adeline's voice rose a bit, wondering if Logan had gone crazy!
"Miss Burton, there's no need to get agitated. Please rest assured that we have a privacy protection agreement. I won't disclose any personal information about your body. Please trust me." Dr. Hawkins spoke sincerely.
Adeline's emotions became somewhat agitated. "I'm sorry, but I don't need any kind of treatment!"
Dr. Hawkins wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Olivia, who had come specifically to apologize to Adeline during lunchtime.
"Sorry, you can leave now. I'll talk to Adeline." Olivia nodded at Dr. Hawkins. "I'm Logan's younger sister."
Dr. Hawkins smiled and stood up. "Alright, let me know if you need anything."
With that, Dr. Hawkins picked up her bag and left. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Adeline was completely confused and her eyebrows furrowed. "Do you know anything about this?"
Before she could finish speaking, Adeline's phone rang, displaying an unfamiliar number. Worried that it might be a parent contacting her, she couldn't afford to ignore it. As soon as she answered, she heard Logan's voice.
"Adeline, it's me. Did my senior colleague find you?"
Receiving a call from Logan at this moment, Adeline was furious.
"Logan, have you lost your mind? Why did you arrange for someone to give me a fertility check- up?"
Adeline felt that Logan was not respecting her!
Even if they were still together, he shouldn't have made such a decision without discussing it with her, let alone arranging for someone to take her for a fertility check-up.
Moreover, they had already broken up, and now she was his aunt!
Logan took a deep breath.
"Adeline, you don't have to hide anything from me. I know about your situation. I don't care that you can't conceive. On the contrary, I'm actively trying to find a solution with you. Can you understand?"
