NovelEnglishChapter 400 The old lady pleaded with heartfelt sincerity, her words gentle yet firm.
This time, Sean finally reacted.
"Isn't there a sample of my sperm at the Northcrest Hospital's sperm bank? Just use that." It had been the old lady's idea to freeze Sean's sperm in the first place.
She'd noticed her eldest grandson had absolutely no interest in women, and, fearing that the quality of his sperm would decline as he got older, she'd urged him to have it preserved while he was still young.
If he was truly set on never having a child the traditional way, at least this gave him another option to continue the family line.
The old woman let out a weary sigh. "Very well. But do you have any preferences for the mother of your child?" Sean stared blankly ahead, his eyes cold and unblinking. "I don't care," he replied flatly.

Seeing the emptiness in Sean's eyes, the old lady felt a sharp pain in her chest.
"All right," she said softly. "I'll have Jeffry handle the arrangements." Sean didn't react at all. He just sat there, utterly motionless.
Realizing she wouldn't get through to him, the old lady said nothing more. With Grace's help, she slowly left the room.
Three days later.
Jeffry hurried into the Foster estate, clutching a thick folder, his expression urgent.
"Sir, I've uncovered something very important," he announced breathlessly.
Sean glanced up, his gaze still hollow and detached. "What is it?" Jeffry took a deep breath, steadying himself before he spoke. “Sir, your sperm sample at Northcrest Hospital's sperm bank was tampered with-over two years ago." Sean simply replied, "Oh." His reaction was so indifferent, it was as if he were hearing about something that had nothing to do with him. Jeffry watched his boss's impassive face and let out a silent sigh. He knew Sean couldn't care less about this news.
But what he was about to reveal next would shake Sean to his core-a truth so bizarre, it was almost unbelievable.
After a moment to compose himself, Jeffry shared everything he had discovered over the past few days, leaving nothing out.
As Jeffry spoke, cracks began to appear in Sean's icy façade. The lifeless look in his eyes slowly gave way to a glimmer of emotion.
He stared hard at Jeffry, his voice raw and hoarse. "Claire and I... we have a daughter?" "Yes, sir." Jeffry nodded emphatically.
Sean's entire body jolted, his hands trembling.
The embroidered *Radiant Beauty* tapestry he'd been gripping slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs it turned out, after Claire had
been forced into surgery to have her kidney removed and injected with O fertility drugs, Sophia and Garnett N Brown hadn't tried IVF at Cresthaven as everyone believed. Instead, they'd gone all the way to Northcrest City. They were paranoid-determined to keep their dirty secrets under wraps, so they opted for a hospital far from home.
Once there, they selected over a dozen sperm samples from the Northcrest Hospital sperm bank and tried to fertilize just as many of Claire's eggs.
But, to their shock, nearly every embryo failed. The Browns ended up wasting a fortune, and their frustration with Claire only deepened.
By then, they were down to one last egg.
Desperate for success, they spared
no expense, combing through the sperm bank for the best possible specimen. By pure coincidence, they chose Sean's sample. Normally, sperm from someone of Sean's status would never be made available to just anyone.
But greed has a way of opening doors. Sophia pulled every string slipped money into the right hands, and eventually-managed to secure Sean's sperm.
