Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Oligozoospermia
Sophia shouted, "You've done something dirty yourself, admit it! Why should I regret anything?"

Emily nodded, glancing at Nathan.

Her gaze made Nathan uneasy. "Is this about me?"

"Yes," Emily nodded. "Your grandfather arranged for us to marry to protect you and the Reed family."

"Hah!" Sophia sneered. "Don't make yourself out to be so noble. You're just a poor girl. What can you do to protect the Reed family?"

Emily remained unfazed, just looking at her quietly.

"The Reed family really does need me," Emily said. "Even though I'm a poor girl, I can keep a secret."

"What secret?"

Nathan asked. After four years of marriage with Emily, he had no idea there was still a secret between them.

However, Emily's current expression gave him a bad feeling.

"Nathan has oligozoospermia."

"What?!"

"What..."

Nathan and Sophia both stood frozen in place. One surprised, the other bewildered, their expressions grim.

Emily sighed and continued, "If you insist on forcing me to reveal the truth, then I will. Nathan, you were diagnosed with oligozoospermia when you were a teenager. Your grandfather kept it from you, but you are his only grandson. You carry the responsibility of being the heir. If you were to marry another girl, your condition would inevitably be discovered."

"The sole heir of the Reed group has oligozoospermia. This news is likely to unsettle some shareholders, and some ill-intentioned individuals might target the Reed group. Before he passed away, your grandfather entrusted me to keep this secret. I promised to never speak of this secret."

"Oligozoospermia isn't azoospermia; it's still possible for a woman to get pregnant with you, but the chances are slim. Your grandfather thought I had a good temperament and patience, so he begged me to tolerate you and your mother. I agreed, so for these four years of marriage, I've endured it, until you and your mother thought I was infertile and kicked me out."

Emily tugged at her lips, her expression inscrutable. "Nathan, even if we divorce, even with you and your mother treating me like this, I still want to keep this secret for you. But Sophia's rumors and defamation of me and your grandfather's reputation leave me no choice but to fight back."

"Nathan," she glanced at him, "your grandfather's arrangements were all for you. I hope you stay clear-headed and don't let the Reed family fall apart because of you. Also, I don't know how Sophia got pregnant, but I suggest you be cautious. It's very unlikely for someone with oligozoospermia to impregnate a woman quickly. I've said my piece. I hope you'll think about it carefully."

As soon as she finished speaking, her hand touched a button in the corner of the wall, and she pressed it with some force.

There was a loud noise, and a door in front of her opened, revealing a narrow, dark passage.

"I've found the way," she said, her face showing a joyful expression. "I'm going to find Herry. Goodbye."

With that, she disappeared into the passage.

Nathan quickly followed. "It's too dangerous for you alone. I'll come with you."

The room remained dark as their figures swiftly disappeared, leaving Sophia alone.

The scene in the haunted house was hair-raising, accompanied by a cold breeze. Sophia's mental state had shattered after what had just happened. She couldn't stay there any longer and immediately turned and ran out of the haunted house.
