CHAPTER 51 FATE IS CHALLENGING ME

"Good morning," Deo greeted anxiously as he handed me my daily calendar.

"Here's the schedule I made for the entire day until nine in the evening."

It has been a month and my condition has improved although not totally healed yet. I forced myself to resume office work or else I'll just go mad inside my room.

This decision was unannounced and I believe Wenziel and Eriez will totally disapprove it.

"Are you really sure you're fine to work now?"

Deo fidgeted as we walked nearer to my office.

"When will Eriez and Wenziel arrive back to the country?"

I ignored his question.

"Next week."

Just as Deo answered, Eriez's presence greeted me inside the room. He creased his forehead in surprise and total upset when he saw me.  

"You're here?" I remarked casually and sat at my office seat.

I dismissed Deo to talk privately with him.    

"What are you doing here?" he asked angrily while maintaining a low voice.

He looked seriously worried about something.

"I don't tolerate you coming in today but anyway maybe it's time for you to know."

He dropped a folder on the table and waited for me to look,

"What is it?"

"The results of your childish disobedience," he scoffed.

I picked the document and read it silently while Eriez murmured its content.

"Your semen analysis," he rumbled "showed zero count of sperm."

I sheathed the document back and tossed it to the table.

"Nonsense!"  

"Utterly stupid joke!" I repeated.  

"How I wished it is indeed a joke."

It was the biggest problem I'd ever received so far. I was speechlessly worried that I'd fail father's last wish.  

I need to have a biological heir.  

"There are many causes of Non-obstructive Azoospermia and I believe it isn't genetics on your case," Eriez explained while I bit my lip in attempt to understand.

"I've ordered, and I believe you were undergoing already, a hormonal treatment session. After that you'd probably be fine in about another month or so. You'd also need to change your lifestyle for a bit."  

"Probably? So we can't exactly be sure?"

I grunted while I remembered to have refused some sessions that I didn't know the purpose of.

"In some cases, this condition doesn't get cured. But positivity doesn't hurt either," he answered as he stretched his back,

"I've just gotten back from Bahamas and you're already giving me this much headache."

A long pause.

"As soon as your sperm count hike up even just a little you have to do something immediately," Eriez advised.  

"You want me to marry just anybody?" I hissed.

"Why not?" he crooned.

"But there are also alternatives if you don't want sex to do its thing. We'll harvest your sperms once you're able to produce, choose the healthiest, and then select a female egg to fertilize in the lab. In vitro fertilization with intracytoplasmic sperm injection would be helpful."

Silence again.  

Fate is challenging me
