Chapter 440


    SSteffan gazed at Xara without a word, his emotions hidden.


    “The doctor suggested a treatment n. If we choose conservative treatment, Jacob…” Xara paused,


    then hesitated, saying, “So… should we go for in vitro fertilization?”


    Steffan smirked, tauntingly responding, “Xara, let’s simplify it further. Just give me your genes, and you


    won’t need to worry about anything else, right?”


    “What do you mean, Steffan?”


    Suddenly, Xara grasped his meaning, her emotions igniting. “Are you saying you still want a physical


    rtionship with me?”

    “Xara, you should know your ce after five years.” Steffan rose, advancing toward Xara. He observed


    her tense figure and spoke condescendingly. “Once, you called me an animal. Now, I prefer being a


    man.”


    “Steffan, what are you trying to say?”


    Xara was confused. Could Steffan really be suggesting that? No, it seemed impossible. She couldn’t


    agree with his idea.


    However… were they really going to resort to in vivo fertilization?


    “Steffan, our only goal now is to save Jacob. Can you please not be so impulsive?”


    Steffan smirked and asked nonchntly, “And?”


    “Is it not a good idea for us to undergo in vitro fertilization? It doesn’t inconvenience you at all. You just


    need to…’


    ”


    Xara was not mentally prepared to rekindle an intimate rtionship with Steffan.


    “Need to what?” Steffan arched his brow. “Xara, you should understand that many women are willing to


    have a child with me.”


    Xara’s gaze dimmed, her heart raced, and she felt inexplicably ufortable.


    “Yes, yes, yes. You’re Steffan Sanderson. You can change women every day. But I only have Jacob as


    my son. I want him to live….”


    Steffan nced at her coldly and said in a deep voice, “It’s you who’s pleading with me now,


    understand?”


    “Steffan, I beg you. Let’s go ahead with in vitro fertilization!”


    Steffan suddenly put a safe distance between them as soon as Xara said that. He strode briskly toward


    the study door.


    Gathering her courage from an unknown source, Xara hurried behind Steffan and tightly grasped his


    hand.


    “Steffan, don’t leave just yet. Let’s talk this out.”


    Steffan stood straight, his expression still cold.


    “You’re unwilling to ept in vitro fertilization? Is it because you find it embarrassing? I can


    help you…”


    Steffan turned slightly, asking mockingly, “Help me?”


    she could ept


    “Yes, I can help you.” Xara thought that this might be the most intimate way she could with Steffan. “I


    promise not to hurt you in the slightest.”


    Steffan shook off Xara’s hand and sat down on the sofa.


    “Prove it to me.”


    Xara asked, rmed, “Now?”


    “Xara, do you really think I’d still lust after you after five years?”


    Steffan’s words flustered Xara. She suddenly failed to discern the true meaning behind his actions and


    words. Despite that, she was ready to risk it for the sake of conceiving a child to save Jacob.


    “Are you agreeing to undergo in vitro fertilization with me as long as I seed?”
