The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 92

He forced a calm, reassuring expression, as if it were a simple gesture of friendly support. "Don't worry," he said softly. "We'll find a way."

Vivica's heart had begun to race, a blush creeping up her cheeks. But seeing his open and sincere expression, and how he withdrew his hand right after, she realized she was overthinking it. For a man as proper and serious as him, it was merely an act of comfort.

Still, the warmth from his palm, though it lasted only a few seconds, felt like a spark that quickly chased away the cold enveloping her.

"Ms. Lynn, please rest assured, these two options aren't mutually exclusive," Dr. Warren continued. "We can start with chemotherapy to control the illness while we search for a suitable donor. In a way, the chemo buys us more time for the transplant search."

His explanation clarified things for Vivica. She nodded. "I understand. I was just getting ahead of myself."

"It's completely understandable," Dr. Warren said kindly. "Every mother wishes she could bear the suffering for her child."

Having practiced medicine his entire life, he had seen countless tragic cases and empathized deeply with the families.

"Clinically, we often recommend transplants from relatives or suggest the original couple have another child and use the cord blood. Both methods are much faster than waiting for a donor from the national registry."

Dr. Warren paused, a frown creasing his brow. "However, I understand the patient was conceived via a sperm donor, which makes both of those options unlikely. So, for now, chemotherapy is our best course of action."

Vivica remained silent, a profound sense of regret and self-blame washing over her. She shouldn't have given in to Fletcher's pleas for an IVF procedure with a donor. Now Chaim had no siblings to turn to for help.
