Liesel looked down, and her voice was barely audible when she said, “Actually, Jacob is also quite innocent. That night was truly an accident. He has done a lot for me by marrying me.
“On the first day of our marriage, he told me he had feelings for someone else and that we would eventually divorce.”
Denzel stared at her. “I understand Jake is innocent, but from the perspective of your marriage, everything he did as a husband was wrong. You’re now carrying his child.
“Ms. Sharp, whether to keep the child or not is entirely your choice. You are the one who carries his child. You need to make a decision that you won’t regret.”
Denzel was known for his deep aversion to wrongdoing. He had once acted impulsively, which led him to study psychology to calm himself.
As the heir of the Johanson family, he was a genius physician capable of performing surgeries across various specialties. Even abroad, he had been involved in rescue missions and had helped many women give birth.
He had witnessed the pain of women in labor, seen some use their last ounce of strength to give life, and observed the satisfaction of those who saw their children after childbirth.
Though a man, his empathy was profound. Having seen so many women in such situations, Denzel approached problems from a female perspective.
At present, he focused on listening to Liesel’s thoughts rather than Jacob’s. It was her body and her decision to make after all.
Liesel felt a sense of relief. “I finally understand why people call you ‘Professor Johanson.“”
“Thank you for your praise.” Denzel smiled and put his glasses back on. He then said, ” Let’s start with the examination. The time it takes for the results should be enough for you to think everything through.”
“Okay.”
The results came through urgently. When Denzel saw the report, his expression grew somber. Liesel had nearly exhausted her health over the past three years in trying to prove her worth at Ford Corporation. Not only was she physically weak and suffering from stomach issues, but…
She had no choice now. Terminating the pregnancy carried a high probability of lifelong infertility.
“I’ve prescribed a seven–day course of alternative medicine. After seven days, come back here for a follow–up. I will personally check the results.”
Chapter 19
Denzel had a special preparation of alternative medicine made and arranged for it to be delivered to Liesel. He told her, “Once the medicine is prepared, I will have it sent to you.
Although Denzel said nothing else, Liesel understood that he was aware of her condition. His silence was simply to avoid adding to her distress.
Liesel forced a smile and nodded. “Okay.”
Jacob had already left, having to leave early for business. Liesel was not surprised by this.
As Liesel left the hospital, Denzel sent a copy of the examination report to Jacob, ensuring he understood how much Liesel had endured over the past three years.
Upon receiving the report, Jacob wore an even gloomier expression. The office lighting cast a glow over him, which accentuated his souring mood.
Just then, Natalie entered the office.
Jacob paused and furrowed his brow slightly. However, he said nothing.
