Cayden looked at Shane with a look of bafflement. They shared a close relationship and knew each other very well.
Cayden discovered that Shane seemed to be in low spirits and even seemed to have just cried.
Shane sighed and said, âCayden, Iâd better tell you the truth. Your condition may have improved now, but there are after-effects.â
âThe doctor said that your fertility might be affected!â
Caydenâs expression suddenly changed, and he turned pale!
For a man, having his fingers and arms broken wouldnât be a major issue!
A manâs dignity is the most important!
Although Caydenâs body was now complete and intact, he had already become infertile!
In other words, he could no longer have children of his own!
Cayden grabbed Shane agitatedly and asked, âWhat did you say? I can never conceive for the rest of my life?â
Shane comforted, âDonât get too worked up. Itâs only a probability. Besides, the level of healthcare here isnât that advanced. It might be a misdiagnosis. Iâll take you back to New York and have this checked out. You might be perfectly fine.â
Cayden was dejected. The health care standards here were indeed inferior to that of New York.
However, it was considered one of the best in the country, so it wasnât likely a misdiagnosis!
âAh!â
Shane waved his left arm and pushed the water cups and food on the table next to the hospital bed, all onto the floor, before punching the glass furiously with both hands.
âJordan Steele! Iâm going to kill you!â
Caydenâs right hand was still injured, and Shane hurriedly walked over to hug Cayden to stop him from moving.
âCayden, calm down!â
Shane was distressed to see the way his brother was.
Many descendants of prestigious families were often engaged in intense fights for assets. If Cayden was infertile, it would undoubtedly be an excellent thing for Shane.
However, Shane and Cayden had always been very close and had never fought over the familyâs assets.
Cayden sat on the floor for a full thirty minutes.
During that time, he called all his ex-girlfriends and asked them one by one if they were pregnant with his child.
However, they all said no.
Gradually, Cayden burst into tears. As a man in his twenties, he had a poor tolerance level.
The sorrowful expression on Caydenâs face suddenly became menacing.
âI canât let Hailey have an abortion! Thatâs Jordan Steeleâs child. I must make her give birth to it!â
Since Cayden couldnât conceive and Hailey, whom he wanted to marry, happened to be pregnant and was one month along with her pregnancy.
They could just get married now and not tell others the truth.
Once Hailey gives birth, his friends would definitely think that the baby is his child.
Caydenâs social circle in New York was composed of prestigious figures who didnât know people like Jordan and Victoria at all. They wouldnât bother finding out about him either.
Cayden cried and said to Shane, âShane, if I really become infertile, donât tell anyone about this, not even Mom, Dad, or Grandpa!â
âIf others find out about this, Iâll be too ashamed to stay in New York!â
Shane knew how vital pride and dignity were to a man.
Shane said, âRest assured, I wonât tell anyone about this. Iâll make sure the doctors and nurses in this hospital who know about this matter keep their lips sealed too. I wonât let them spread a word about this.â
Cayden nodded and revealed his thoughts out loud.
âShane, I want to marry Hailey.â
Shane was a little surprised. âWerenât you planning to just toy with her before kicking her away?â
Although Cayden had promised Hailey that he would marry her, he was just trying to coax her.
Just as Jordan said, itâs not that easy to marry a wealthy man from a prestigious family, especially since Hailey was divorced.
Cayden initially planned to make Hailey get an abortion, sleep with her for a few months, and kick her away.
He wanted her to have a taste of what it was like to be toyed with by a man.
However, Caydenâs plans had changed.
He needed Hailey and the baby in her womb.
The baby she was carrying could give him the pride and dignity he needed as a man.
Cayden said, âI absolutely canât let a third person know that Iâve become infertile. Iâve been so conceited for so many years. My pride is more important than my life!â
âIâm going to lie to everyone and make them think that Haileyâs child is mine. Iâll make Hailey give birth and then raise it!â
Shane knew Caydenâs temper too well and was aware of why he would do that.
Shane nodded and said, âYes, itâs going to be yours and Haileyâs child. If you want to let him or her inherit the Huxleysâ assets, I wonât have any objections, though itâs going to be an advantage to that punk Jordan Steele.â
Cayden said, âYouâre wrong, Shane. I donât mean to raise Hailey and Jordanâs child as my own!â
âJordanâs child is not worthy of inheriting a single cent of our assets!â
âHereâs what I intend to do. If Hailey gives birth to a boy, Iâll send him away to do hard labor.â
âIf she gives birth to a girl⊠Hehe, Hailey is pretty, and Jordan Steele is quite good-looking too. Their daughter will definitely be gorgeous.â
Caydenâs eyes were full of perverted greed when he mentioned this!
Shane could tell that Cayden intended to vent his hatred for Jordan on Jordanâs child!
âIâll raise his daughter until she reaches the age of eighteen and give her an unforgettable experience before sending her away to become a prostitute! Iâll make her sleep with thousands of people!â
âOnly then can I vent the resentment within me!â
âŠ
An hour later, Hailey arrived at Caydenâs VIP ward.
When Cayden saw Hailey, he hurriedly went over and said to her, âHoney, youâre finally here. Why didnât you pick up my calls just now?â
When Hailey arrived, she put her purse down and said, âOh, I was at a checkup, and I couldnât take my phone in with me.â
Cayden hurriedly said, âCheckup? Is it a pre-abortion checkup? Have you gotten an abortion?â
If Hailey had already aborted the baby, then all of Caydenâs plans would have been ruined!
At this moment, Cayden was even more anxious than Jordan!
Hailey shook her head and said, âI had an appointment with the doctor to have an abortion today, but for some reason, I had to undergo another checkup. I was told that my body is not suitable for an abortion now, so I have to wait for some time.â
Cayden let out a long sigh of relief.
In fact, Jordan had asked someone to arrange for it.
There was no way Hailey could get an abortion now, regardless of which hospital she goes to in Orlando.
Jordanâs grandfather had expressed clearly his intention to keep the baby, and no one could take him or her away.
Cayden took Haileyâs hand and said emotionally with great affection, âDarling, donât abort the baby. Iâm willing to be his or her father!â
