Chapter 467: Isaac Knows the Truth
Rhys was silent.
He almost forgot about this!
Rhys cleared his throat and asked, "So you think the baby Nora is carrying isn't yours?"
Isaac replied irritably, "It's not what I think, it's a fact!"
Rhys was a bit unhappy, "Why don't you trust Nora's love for you? With you around, how could she possibly look for another man? Who around Nora do you think is better than you?"
Isaac gritted his teeth, "I want to trust her, but I had a vasectomy. There's no way she's going to get pregnant with my baby."
Rhys asked, "Maybe you didn't have a vasectomy?"
Isaac frowned, "How could that be! You did it yourself. Did you lose your memory, or did I?"
Rhys awkwardly touched his nose, "You didn't lose your memory, and neither did I. The fact is, you didn't have a vasectomy."
Isaac looked puzzled.
Rhys stopped beating around the bush and explained guiltily, "I didn't perform the vasectomy that day, and Nora knows it too."
"Because you insisted on having it, I just pricked your penis with a needle to fool you."
"If it were a real surgery, the wound wouldn't be as small as a needle prick. You can check online if you don't believe me. Look up what a real vasectomy wound looks like."
"If you can't find it, I can send you pictures."
Isaac was shocked and stunned.
He didn't have a vasectomy.
Rhys continued, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Nora yourself. I told her at the time to help me deceive you, otherwise, you would be suspicious."
Isaac was completely dumbfounded.
He didn't have a vasectomy?
So, Nora's baby was his?
After the shock, he felt uncontrollable joy and guilt.
He actually doubted that the baby Nora was carrying wasn't his and even asked Nora to abort the baby.
He was truly despicable!
Isaac couldn't help but raise his hand and slap himself hard.
"Don't hit yourself. If you ruin that face, Nora won't love you," Rhys teased.
Isaac ignored his mockery. He was eager to find Nora and apologize to her.
However, just as he reached the office door, Rhys grabbed him.
Isaac said unhappily, "Why are you grabbing me? Let go!"
Rhys didn't let go, "Where are you going?"
Isaac replied irritably, "I'm going to find Nora. Last night, I thought the baby she was carrying wasn't mine and asked her to abort it. She must be furious. I need to apologize. Don't waste my time!"
As he spoke, he shook off Rhys's hand.
Rhys pointed at Magnus, "With a new baby, you don't want the old one?"
Isaac froze, suddenly remembering Magnus.
Isaac turned to see Magnus sitting timidly on a chair, his short legs dangling, his little hands neatly placed on his thighs, his small face tense, and his big eyes filled with nervousness, looking at him eagerly.
Although Magnus's condition had improved a lot, he was still a bit reserved outside.
Rhys teased, "If you don't want Magnus, I'll sell him."
Isaac glared at him.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Can you watch him for a while? I need to find Nora. I saw her come to the hospital when I brought Magnus over."
Rhys answered, "I'll check which department she registered in and her appointment time to see if she's still in the hospital. If she's already left, you won't have to make a wasted trip."
"You brought Magnus over two or three hours ago. She might not still be in the hospital after such a long time."
Isaac thought he made sense and urged him to check quickly.
Rhys sat at the computer and checked for a while, then smiled, "Good thing I was smart enough to check first, or you would have made a wasted trip."
"Nora checked into the obstetrics and her gynecology department and had an ultrasound done a couple of hours ago. By now, so she should have already left the hospital by now."
Rhys suddenly frowned.
Isaac's heart tightened, and he asked urgently, "Is there a problem?"
Rhys's frown deepened, "She scheduled an abortion for tomorrow."
Isaac's heart sank.
"It's all my fault. It must be because I asked her to abort the baby last night that she scheduled the abortion. I need to go back and apologize to her now!"
Isaac walked over to Magnus, picked him up, and asked Rhys, "How is Magnus's condition? Are all the tests done?"
Rhys responded, "Magnus is stable now, and his incontinence has improved a lot. Now his sphincter and pelvic floor muscles are gradually coming back, so he can manage to hold a little bit of stool. With active rehab training, he will slowly get better."
Isaac asked, "What about his ears and throat?"
Rhys sighed, "Not much progress there, unfortunately. There's a slight chance his ears might recover a bit, but for his throat, we'll have to wait for new technology to develop."
In other words, with current technology, it was almost impossible for Magnus to speak!
Isaac's excitement instantly turned to gloom.
He looked down at the well-behaved Magnus sitting on the chair, feeling heartbroken.
Magnus was truly a pitiful child.
At such a young age, he had to endure so much pain.
Rhys comforted, "Don't be too pessimistic. Technology is advancing rapidly, and medical technology is progressing quickly too. He will definitely be able to speak again in his lifetime!"
Isaac pressed his lips together and said nothing.
If Magnus wouldn't be able to speak until he was ninety years old, what would be the point?
If it took that long, even if his throat was repaired, he would have forgotten how to speak by then.
"I'll take him back first. Don't just idle around. Spend some time in the lab and do some research."
"I spent so much money setting up the lab for you, spending billions of dollars on equipment and materials, not for them to be decorations!" Isaac said sternly.
Rhys's mouth twitched, "I only come to the hospital when Magnus has a check-up and to help out with some tricky cases. The rest of the time, I'm in the lab—eating, drinking, and sleeping there. How am I idling?"
He had practically made the lab his home. Wasn't that enough?
Isaac snorted lightly.
He picked up Magnus and walked out, "I'm leaving."
Rhys said unceremoniously, "Get lost!"
Isaac didn't argue with him.
He took Magnus back to the villa, spent some time with him, and then drove to Nora's house.
