Chapter 678
Sie's roving gaze fell on Megan's belly, and she suddenly laughed, "It's still better to be a man. Just a word, and it's artificial insemination. Men only need to provide a simple sperm, but women have to endure all kinds of suffering. In the early stages, they have to get daily injections and take medication. I've heard that the process of inserting it is also extremely painful and unbearable. I really admire you. Your love for Joseph is something I can't match."
Megan's face changed instantly. She knew everything Sie said was true. She didn't want it either, but Joseph simply couldn't touch her. She had no choice.
"Have you said enough? You're just jealous," Athena angrily accused.
"Jealous? Me?" Sie shrugged. "What do I have to be jealous of? Someone as amazing as me naturally conceives twins without needing to suffer like this. It seems I set the bar too high before; Joseph can't even look at a single child now."
"You're going too far." Megan bit her lip pitifully, and tears suddenly fell.
Sie glanced to the side and sure enough, saw Joseph walking over with a few hospital administrators.
When he got closer and saw Megan crying, he immediately glared at Sie, "What did you do again? I've already divorced you. Why do you keep pestering us endlessly?"
Megan was about to speak, but Sie cut in first, "I said it's a bit much to make her go through artificial insemination. Why not let her get pregnant naturally? Don't you know that before artificial insemination, she has to get daily injections and take medication? Megan, I wasn't lying, was I?"
Megan, who had been planning to complain, was suddenly stunned. Sie did say that, but her tone made it seem like she was standing up for her. Especially when she saw Joseph's ugly expression, she immediately explained, "Joseph is afraid that having children back-to-back would harm my health."
"If you really cared about her, you'd advise her to get pregnant just once. There's no need to treat women like baby-making machines," Sie mocked. "Usually, people who go for artificial insemination are either infertile or incapable. But I know best whether you're capable or not. Could it be that Megan is infertile...?"
She covered her mouth in feigned surprise, "I just remembered, you two have been together for years, and she hasn't gotten pregnant."
Megan's face turned pale with anger.
She could get pregnant, but Joseph couldn't make it happen. Yet she couldn't say that and had to endure the strange looks from the hospital administrators, tears streaming down her face in frustration.
"Sie, say one more word and see what happens." Joseph angrily pulled Megan into his arms and furiously told the hospital administrators, "Throw her out. I don't want to see her."
The hospital director said awkwardly, "Joseph, this is Mr. Leo's daughter. Mr. Leo is staying in our hospital today..."
"Tell Leo to switch hospitals. I don't want to see her here," Joseph said angrily and walked away with Megan in his arms.
"Joseph, it's all my fault. I embarrassed you." Megan sobbed in his arms.
"It's not your fault. It's mine for making you resort to artificial insemination." Joseph was also full of regret. Sie's words had hit his sore spot, making him feel extremely humiliated.
"It's okay. I'm happy to give you children," Megan said sweetly.
Joseph sighed, feeling deeply pained.
