Chapter 246

When Nicole heard this, she became nervous, stared at him, and asked, "Did you say the success rate is low?"

"Yes"

"How low?"

She was so nervous that she could no longer maintain her elegant demeanor. She grabbed the doctor by the collar, eager to know how low the success rate was

The doctor maintained his good demeanor and appeased her, saying. "Miss Duarte, I can understand your emotion! Please calm down. The success rate is low, but it is not as low as you think. It's about forty percent!" "So, the possibility of me getting pregnant is only forty percent!"

Nicole widened her eyes in disbelief.

The doctor nodded, adjusted his glasses, and explained, "You are in poor health. Even if the sperm enters your body, you may not be fertilized. The low success rate is partly due to your physical weakness Nicole heavily bit her lip.

The doctor added, "Fortunately, the sperm is in good quality and condition. I want to ask if you can accept ivf-et!"

"What is ivf-et?"

"Embryo transplantation."

Nicole had never heard of it.

She had learned about artificial insemination technology because Charlie had planned to use it two years ago. He had wanted to select an excellent surrogate mother and let her give birth to his child through artificial insemination. Nicole had been surprised to hear it. When Nyasia had mentioned artificial insemination not long ago, Nicole had remembered the matter. Then, she somehow wanted to gamble and put all her chips on it.

But she didn't know what ivf-et was

"It is also called test-tube baby in your country. To put it simply, we will take eggs and sperm out and let them complete the insemination in an artificially controlled environment. Then, we will transplant the early-stage embryos into your uterus and. let it grow. However, you will feel pain during the process. It is more painful than ordinary artificial insemination. Are you willing to try it?"

"What's the success rate?"

"Ninety-nine percent."

Nicole's heart skipped a beat. She turned around and glanced out the window with a complicated look in her eyes.

She didn't care how painful it would be. She had made up her mind. So, she would do it no matter what. Moreover, the doctor had said the success rate was as high as Ninety-nine percent. It was enough!

She turned around and asked, "How long will it take?"

"It will take some time."

Nicole nervously said, "How long? I don't have much time!"

"At least half a month."

"I will do it right now!"

"Miss Duarte, calm down. Please be patient. We will do

it as soon as possible."

Chapter 240

Then, the doctor left in a hurry.

When the door gently closed, Nicole weakly slumped on the sofa and blankly looked at the ceiling.

She had pulled many strings and spent a lot of money. She hid it from her family and secretly transferred eight-figure money from her father's bank account. It was a large amount. The cost of artificial insemination was much higher than she had imagined. Charlie's indifference had made her disheartened that day. She knew he would no longer care about her. She had tried to force herself to give up and move on. But she had suddenly discovered he had become her whole world. If she left him, her world would become dark and hopeless.

Despite her resentment and hatred for him, she could not leave him. So, she had decided to carry out the appalling plan. She would secretly conceive his child with artificial insemination technology.

She thought, 'Kamryn used her children to gain Charlie's favor, so I can do the same thing. My child will help me gain at foothold in the Franco family. Kamryn is lowly, so she is unworthy of the Franco family. But I am different. I am from the Duarte family! If Kamryn can use the children to win Charlie's heart, I can also do it! If I get pregnant with his child, he will not blame or abandon me. The child will forge a bond between us. If he cruelly rejects me, I will have spiritual sustenance after giving birth to his child. No matter how cruel he is, he cannot ignore me. Even if he doesn't like the child, the Franco family will value it! After all, all wealthy families attach importance to their descendants. I will not force myself anymore. I will accept it even if I cannot marry Charlie. There will be ample time in the future. I believe I can defeat Kamryn sooner or later.

At the thought of this, Nicole clenched her fists so hard that her nails almost cut her palms.

Nicole had gone missing. She had left home without saying goodbye, leaving only a note.

Everyone in the Duarte family was anxious. Nicole's mother was so worried that she called Charlic. She cried and told him Nicole was missing after he picked up the phone in confusion. He didn't take it seriously, thinking Nicole was playing a trick again. Maybe she was hanging out with her friends without telling her family. He did not think she would disappear into thin air for no reason.

After Nicole had disappeared for several days, Charlie finally realized things were not simple. He did not think she was in danger. After all, she had left a note before leaving. If it were a kidnapping, the kidnapper should have long contacted the Duarte family. But it didn't happen.

She had suddenly disappeared into thin air. Charlie smelt something fishy in it, although he had no evidence. Therefore, he immediately sent people to investigate it.

Today, his assistant suddenly called and told him they had found something. When he hurried back to his office, his assistant had waited for a long time. Seeing him enter the door, the assistant hurriedly said, "Mr. Franco, we found Nicole." "Where is she?"

"Nicole is in Baltimore. We've gotten her whereabouts. Don't worry. Our people are monitoring her without alerting her." COMMINE
