Alexander was squatting at the doorway, looking like he''d just been hit by a truck.


    People passing by couldn''t help but give him a look, thinking his kid must be seriously sick or something.


    The doc grabbed his arm, trying to help him up, but the dude wouldn''t budge.


    "What''s up with you?" the doc asked, totally confused.


    Seeing Alexander in a hospital gown, the doc figured he might not be in great shape either.


    After what felt like forever, Alexander finally got up on his own. He turned to the doc and croaked out, "How old''s the kid?"


    His face was ghostly pale, freaking the doc out. He looked like he was on death''s door.


    The doc''s face went all weird as he said, "The kid was just born."


    "Just born?" Alexander echoed, stunned. "How many months?"


    "I said just born, like not even a day old!" the doc snapped, getting impatient.


    Alexander was totally floored. He stared at the doc, looking all dazed like a sloth in slow motion.


    "Wait," Alexander said, rubbing his head. After a few seconds of frantic thinking, he suddenly grabbed the doc''s arm and blurted out, "Not even a day old?" "Yeah," the doc replied.


    "The kid''s not hers?" Alexander asked, bewildered.


    The doc just stared at him, speechless. If it wasn''t such a serious moment, he might''ve rolled his eyes.


    "Aren''t you her husband? Don''t you know if you have a kid?"


    In the next second, the doc saw Alexander go from looking like a zombie to someone ready to throw down.


    "Why didn''t you say so earlier?" Alexander demanded.


    The doc was even more confused, asking, "Say what?"


    "Never mind. So what''s the deal with that kid? Why''s she here?" Alexander pressed.


    The doc shot him an irritated look and said, "She found the kid in the bathroom."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    While the doc gave him the lowdown, Alexander''s face kept shifting.


    The doc added, "I see she really likes the kid, but she''s on the fence about adopting, probably ''cause of your rtionship. So I told her you two should talk it out." He sighed, "Actually, it''s not a rare condition. After surgery, the kid can be just like any other."


    Alexander cut him off, "No need to think it over. How do we adopt?"


    The doc''s words came to a screeching halt. After staring at Alexander for a few seconds, he got it and excitedly pulled out his phone to call the cops. The cops, who had just left, came back in a hurry.


    Hearing Alexander was Quinn''s husband, they checked his marriage certificate and ID. After confirming his identity, they quickly led him to handle the paperwork. They were scared if they dyed even a second, he might change his mind.


    With Alexander adopting the kid, they didn''t have to worry about the kid''s future anymore.


    One moment, they were feeling sorry for the kid; the next, they were amazed by the kid''s sudden stroke of luck. Born and immediately adopted by Alexander. Meanwhile, Quinn had no clue about Alexander''s actions and was still stressing over what to do with the kid.


    She wanted to adopt the kid but didn''t have the means. If she decided to adopt out ofpassion, how could she stand to see the kid suffer with her in the future? She tossed and turned in bed. It wasn''t even dark yet, and sleep was out of the question.
