The Call
He just hoped that the problem was minor and that he could fix it without his wife even knowing. He just wanted to make her happy again. It wasn‘t until the following Wednesday that Scott finally received a call from the doctor.
But as soon as he saw his name on the screen, he froze. The doctor had finally called to tell him what was going on, and he was terrified. But he knew he had to answer the phone.
The Results
Scott took a deep breath before finally answering the phone and bringing it up to his ear. Hello? he said. He sat quietly in his office at work, his body shaking with nerves. Mr. Jones, I have your results here with me, The doctor said.
Scott held his breath as he waited for the doctor to continue. But what the old man said next shattered his entire world.
Heartbreaking News
Mr. Jones, I am afraid it is not good news for you,? The man said on the other end of the line. Scott’s blood ran cold. He prepared himself for the worst, and then, the doctor said the words he hoped he would never have to hear.
The tests have determined that you are infertile. I am afraid there is nothing we can do to rectify this issue,? He said.
Not Listening
Scott felt like he was going to be sick. However, the doctor kept speaking despite the fact that Scott was no longer listening. ?I could recommend a few adoption agencies in the area that you and your wife could try out if you are interested?
But Scott didn‘t want to hear another word. ?I have to go,? He said, his voice thick as he hung up the phone.
