My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 53 Good News Bad News

?

As the two were notified of the reports, Alex looked at the nurse and said, "let me see."

Nicole didn't say anything about this. She let Alex go through it because even if she were to see it, there was hardly anything she could decipher from it.

The nurse handed the report to Alex and left after getting an autograph from him.

Alex had become pretty famous in the entire hospital and every nurse and doctor wanted to have a glimpse of him.

He was treated no less than a celebrity.

The fame however didn't matter to Alex and he just wanted to get things because he wanted to go home.

Reading the reports, Alex's expression turned to that of surprise. Continuing further, he found a few interesting things.

"Come with me," said Alex and took Nicole back to the car where they could talk freely.

Once they were inside, Alex looked at her and asked with a neutral face, "Miss Nicole, I'd like to know, did you indulge in sexual intercourse and then take an emergency birth control pill?"

Nicole was surprised with the sudden question. "Doctor… What's with the sudden question?"

She had no idea how Alex had come to the conclusion to ask her such a question.

Alex replied calmly, "you've been a healthy adult for a long time with no illness and even common cold. You take great care of your body, but… there was a hormonal imbalance within you at one instance, which had caused some severe problems."

"This imbalance occurs only when ladies take emergency pills such as those. It interferes with your normal progesterone and oestrogen secretions, delaying ovulation and preventing fertilization."

"It is commonly used as plan B everywhere, however, some may suffer with side effects. So… do tell me if you indulged in sexual intercourse and such was the case or if the matter was something else."

Nicole finally realized what Alex was asking about. She was glad he explained it to her in such a simple and easy to understand manner.

She was starting to doubt Alex and have trust issues when he asked her such a personal question, but understanding that it was only for her own good and he meant no harm, Nicole felt relieved.

Nicole shook her head at Alex's question and said, "I didn't indulge in sexual intercourse. As a matter of fact, I have to do it despite being thirty-one."

It was an awkward conversation since most people lose their virginity in their teenage years and here she was, a virgin in her 30s who hadn't gotten laid even a single time.

Being the director of the FBI, nobody in the world had the power to get an answer like this from her, not even her own father or the President himself.

But this guy right in front, a mere twenty-one year old, he ended up making her say those things.

Nicole was having a hard time digesting this. But she was also glad it was Alex and not someone else who got to know this.

Alex nodded his head in response. He felt nothing from knowing a beautiful woman in her 30s, sitting in front of him, was still a virgin. It really didn't matter to him as he was looking at her like a normal patient.

"Then Miss Nicole… I am afraid the only other outcome from these reports are that you were drugged." Alex answered.

Nicole nodded her head. "It's true. I was indeed drugged this one time during a meeting in Washington. It happened, I think three weeks ago."

"That seems to be the case." Alex nodded as well. "If you were drugged and didn't die on the spot, this meant someone wanted to have their way with you. The drug was probably a combination of birth control plus anaesthesia. If it was just birth control, you may not have had side effects."

Alex's analysis was spot on.

In Washington when she was drugged, she felt dizzy while on her way to her hotel room.

Thankfully, there were undercover officers around her, ensuring her safety.

The officers thought she had just fainted and took her to a recovery room.

After Nicole had woken up, she felt no pain or anything wrong with her, thereby not going to a hospital and getting her checked.

This may be the cause of her not knowing that there was a hormonal imbalance within her body.

Nicole explained this thing to Alex and he listened to everything calmly.

When everything was finished, Alex said, "right, there's some problems that you still have and I have both good news and bad news for you."

Nicole's expression turned grave. "Bad news first," she replied immediately.

Alex nodded. "The bad news, you indeed have breast cancer."

Nicole felt goosebumps arise all over her body hearing that. She trembled right in front of Alex, but composing herself, asked, "good news?"

"It can be treated." Alex said quickly.

Nicole sighed in relief.

"But, there's another bad news."

Nicole's body stiffened.

Alex continued, "the doctors here can treat you, but it isn't a hundred percent assurance that they'll succeed. If they somehow have any mishap happen, the cancer will spread to your whole body and would need to go through complicated procedures such as chemotherapy and whatnot, leading to hair erased from your whole body, you being sick and…"

One by one, Alex listed all the possible things that could happen to Nicole if the treatment failed.

Nicole was almost on the verge of tears and wasn't able to think straight.

"T-then what do I do?" Nicole asked with a heavy throat.

Alex shook his head. "Nothing. You just have to get the treatment. But don't worry, there's another good news for you."

Nicole turned her face up to look at Alex, some hope rekindling within her.

Alex took a deep breath and said, "I am not a licensed doctor to operate on women's breasts, but… I can give you a hundred percent assurance that if you let me do your treatment, I can bring you to full health."

"The choice is yours, Miss Nicole."

The advanced anatomy book had brought great knowledge to Alex. He could do almost any surgery due to this and wasn't just limited to the brain and spinal cord.

Nicole was dumbfounded when she heard that.

The guy in front of her was saying that he could do what doctors with years of experience couldn't? What sort of bullshit was this? Where did he get this confidence—

'Unless…' Nicole suddenly became suspicious of something.

"Are you a Blessed?" She asked Alex immediately.

Alex didn't even have to guess why she came to such a conclusion.

Despite knowing her doubts, he shook his head and said honestly, "I am just a normal neurosurgeon. I have sadly not been Blessed by anyone."

Nicole squinted her eyes. "Then… what gives you the confidence?"

Alex stared back at Nicole. He then said with a serious face, "Miss Nicole, you don't have to be a Blessed to be talented, and you don't have to be born genius to be talented."

"Hard Work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

"I am merely someone who has worked hard, that's about it. Now the rest is up to you to decide. Choose whatever option suits you best."

Nicole was stuck in a rock and a hard place with this.

Alex's words indeed may not seem to be hoax, but with how young he was, did he really have the experience of seasoned surgeons?

Her mind was asking her to be rational and choose the option where she was treated by experienced surgeons, but her heart… it said otherwise.

Even though her time with Alex was short, Alex had always done things to ensure her well being. He didn't even go home when she asked him to stay, what more did she need?

It could be due to Alex wanting to form a connection with her and Nicole was well aware of it. But, she still had a hunch that even if she hadn't told Alex that she was the director, he would've helped her.

Not to mention, Nicole had hardly shown any proof to Alex that she was a director. He just took her word and didn't question her further on it.

Whatever be the case, this was a really bad situation she was stuck in.

Nicole had no idea what she should be doing and when in peril, she joined her hands, closed her eyes, and started praying.

Alex felt nothing from her praying, but he did have a thought:

'What if she's praying to no one else but my wife? And what if she then decided to go for some other surgeon because she has no faith in me?'

Alex had no idea what he would feel if such a thing happened.

When Nicole was done praying, she drew a cross gesture and taking a deep breath, said, "I've decided."

Alex nodded. "I'll respect whatever decision you make, Miss Nicole."

Nicole nodded lightly. "My decision is, I'll go with you."

"Understandable," replied Alex. "I don't have a clinic with me so—"

"I'll arrange it. Give me a minute," saying so, Nicole dialed a number and said, "X, I want a few things arranged…"
