CHAPTER 005 The big problem!

Sophia

“Uhmmm, no, I can't, you don't have to worry about that Miss Sophia, all you need now is a lot of rest.” The initial hesitation in his voice made me think he was asked not to say a word.

“But… I tried to say, and before I could put my words together, he already left the ward room.

Great!

“You don't seem to have a trace of memory of who could have possibly brought you here Soph?” Lindsay asked, looking deep into my eyes as if she wanted to read my mind.

“No, I can't seem to put together anything right now Lindy” I winced in discomfort and frustration, the pain in my head intensified the more I tried to put in place the things that happened to me before now.

It came as dim flashes, I tried to gain control of myself, as I laid down and drifted to deep sleep.

Next morning

I squeezed my eyes open, as the buzzing sound from my phone woke me up, “Who in their right senses would want to talk to someone this early!" I turned and grabbed my phone, because this was the third time it rang.

“Are we on line with Miss Sophia Davies?”

“Yes, how may I help you?

“We're calling from the ‘We Care Fertility Clinic’, please we need your presence urgently at the clinic” The voice was a familiar male voice.

“Is there a problem?” I asked, “what could they possibly need me for now?” My curiosity piqued.

I thought everything was already a wrap a few days ago.

“Yes, there is a big problem." The male voice came again.

A big problem!

“Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible!” I said, preparing myself mentally for the worst that could happen. My life has always been full of surprises, what more could surprise me now.

I feel much better now, I think I'm good to go. I thought to myself, looking at myself in the restroom mirror. My brown curly blonde hair matched my hazel eyes, and pointed nose.

I looked a bit pale, I was lost looking at myself in the mirror, until I remembered my appointment.

Lindsay already left yesterday evening since she had something important to attend to.

I arrived at the clinic twenty minutes later, I waved at the receptionist with a smile, and walked down to Dr. Brown's office.

He had an uneasy expression that would tell anyone that something was amiss.

“Miss Sophia Davis”, he called out my name, and took his gaze to the window.

I watched how he furrowed his brows, beads of sweat breaking out from his forehead even with the air conditioner on. I wondered what could possibly be wrong, did I pay my bills to the wrong account?

Or did I do something wrong which I wasn't supposed to do before, during or after the procedure? I can't even think straight right now.

“Can you go ahead to tell me what exactly the problem is? I honestly do not like this suspense.” I said, trying to be calm as ever.

“Uhmmm, there was a mistake in the insemination procedure, and…” Dr Brown struggled to say as if his words got choked up in his throat.

"And what? I rubbed my temple, already frustrated by this drama.

“The sperm injected into you belongs to, I mean to say, the child you're carrying is not your husband's, it belongs to Mr. Ethan Williams, the future heir to the Williams …

“What!!! What are you saying!" I couldn't believe my ears.

“I'm so sorry ma'am, the sperm was mistakenly swapped with that of your husband's sperm, I can't seem to explain how this happened”

"I know this is going to cause a lot of damage to my name, and I'm ready to take up for the consequences." Dr Brown confessed, his gaze made me feel unsettling, but what has he done now, how do I erase this mistake. I want this child too.

Looking at Dr, Brown, one could tell he was still a young doctor, who had barely had up to two years of experience. He could lose his license or even go to jail at this very young age for this terrible mistake.

Jeez! That is going to be bad.

Wait, did he say Ethan Williams?I'm carrying his child?

“See that it's perfect, I do not tolerate mistakes” his words rang through my head, that very day he visited the coffee house.

This is bad, Ethan Williams is a very dangerous person.

“Do you have any idea who Mr Ethan Williams is, and how bad this situation is Dr. Brown? I asked, furrowing my brows at him.

"Yes, I do know ma'am, even more than you do. He doesn't tolerate mistakes, he always sees to it that everything that he does is perfect , and I just have to take it in and face the consequences.” he said, bowing down his face in shame.

“You must be very disappointed in me, in this clinic as a whole, this is a very terrible mistake, nothing like this has ever happened.” I watched him blame himself, as he cursed under his breath.

“Mom, will be very disappointed in me too” he murmured, but I could hear his words clearly.

“Mmmm, sorry I didn't mean to say that in front of you, it's nothing.” He said, fixing his gaze to the window.

“You can tell me," I said, giving him a go ahead look.

He hesitated for a while before speaking up.

"My dad never cared about my mum. My mom caught dad cheating with another woman when she came back from the grocery store. My dad was no longer interested in her, and made her sign a divorce agreement.”

“My mom didn't realize she was pregnant then, because my mum was married to my dad for five years without a child, which made him take the advantage of being unfaithful.”

“It has always been my mom who has catered for me, and trained me during my years in college. It has always been my dream to become an Obstetrician Gynecologist. But now, the rest of my life will be spent in jail.”

“I wish I could take back the hands of time to correct this horrible mistake” he covered his face with his palm, and began to sob. I felt a pang of compassion for him, and it resonated deeply within me.

“That’s Alright, Dr. Brown. So who then is carrying my husband's child, that should be the surrogate mother right? I asked, getting irritated by the word ‘husband’.

"Uhmm, that, the sperm’s count was way too low, and couldn’t even impregnate the surrogate. He confessed, and I gasped.

So that means my foster sister is not pregnant for Liam?
