The doctor hesitated, his expression conflicted. "But Mr. Lopez, if you plan to deceive your wife with Xandra’s child, what if she finds out?"
"Newborns all look alike. She won’t notice. I’ll take the baby over later," Samuel answered flatly. "Dispose of the body properly. And give me the sterilization drug you have at your hospital. I’ll feed it to Lydia."
The doctor was stunned and exclaimed urgently, "Mr. Lopez, you’ve already killed your wife’s child to bring Xandra’s into the family. Why do you still want to sterilize her? Isn’t that too cruel?"
The chill from the morgue seemed to spill outside, yet Samuel’s words were even colder.
"I promised Xandra that I’d ensure our child never suffers in this life, and there will be no other siblings competing for his affection. Even though she’s someone else’s wife now, I want her to feel at ease."
The doctor appeared reluctant as he continued, "Mr. Lopez, I must warn you, this sterilization drug is still in the research stage and hasn’t undergone clinical trials. The side effects are severe. Can you really bear this?"
