"Have you experienced any major trauma in the past?" Doctor asked Zayn very solemnly.
"I had broken my legs before. I went through physical therapy as well as high technology surgery later on, so my legs have recovered now," Zayn answered.
"Then that makes sense. When you had broken your legs at that time, it indirectly affected your..." The doctor stopped mid-sentence, but Zayn understood what he wanted to say.
This information was like a bolt from the blue for Zayn. It never crossed his mind that his broken legs would affect that aspect of himself. After all, he had never thought of checking that aspect during his previous health checks. He asked quietly, "Can this...be ...cured?" 1
The doctor shook his head. "Nobody dares to promise anything on that. In any case, looking at the numbers, you are infertile."
Zayn was speechless. He turned to look at Tessa, who looked stunned.
"Tessa...I'm sorry," Zayn first apologized to Tessa.
The doctor had already left. He was only there to notify them of the result. Whether the patient had the ability to accept the news was not part of the doctor's responsibility.
