ording to thews, females could have multiple male partners. But males couldn''t unless they ended their existing partnership before seeking another mate.
Emily thought that although the child would be adopted, Lester would still be her first partner and legal husband. Since the child would be biologically rted to her, they would still recognize him as a father figure and treat him as such.
Besides, this scenario had happened before. Thousands of years ago, a powerful family faced the same problem. Their sessor''s psionic strength was so overwhelming that it caused the tamily bloodline to die out. But they managed to keep their bloodline alive by adopting a child from a distant family branch.
Emily quickly softened her expression and tried to look as gentle as possible. "Lester, we''re going for our wedding photoster. What style do you like? Let''s discuss it beforehand."
As always, he replied indifferently. "If you like it, that''s all that matters."
Emily forced a smile and fell silent.

"Okay.

"I''m so sorry, I didn''t see you there," she apologized.
The woman Daphne had bumped into was friendly, and she waved it off with a quick "No worries,"

When Daphne stepped into the hospital, she felt her nerves kickin Hospitals had never been aforting ce for her.
She headed straight to the obstetrics department and checked in, where she was greeted by the same doctor, Sylvie, from herst visit. After speaking with Renwick, Sylvie still hadn''t received a clear response. For safety''s sake, she asked Daphne to undergo another blood test.
As the blood slowly drained from her body, Daphne''s vision went ck, and she fainted,
