I'll Teach You, Marianne.

5 days later.

Stefi's eyes were wet after crying for almost 30 minutes. She still couldn't believe what was happening to her right now. After returning from Tromso, the Norwegian woman immediately went to the obstetrician recommended by one of her socialite colleagues and it turned out that she got results that were beyond her expectations.

"You have fibroids and endometriosis, these two things are not too dangerous for your life, but this is what makes it difficult for you to get pregnant, Mrs. Ganke," said the gynecologist, who was quite old, to Stefi courteously.

"But how can it be, Doc? I've been to many obstetricians and none of them have said this. You're the one who told me this," Stefi stuttered, her hands tightly squeezing the laboratory results that a nurse had just given her. 

Doctor Bryan pursed his lips at his new patient's words. "Fibroids are abnormal cell growths in the uterus. They can be so small that they are difficult to see with the naked eye, or so large that they can distort the shape of the uterus. It is normal for fibroids to change sizes. Some can even enlarge and shrink quickly. There is even a possibility of fibroids disappearing without any medical treatment at all. And it seems that in your case, this is a bit unique, as your fibroids are changing according to your hormonal conditions, Madam. Maybe when you did an examination with your obstetricians before, your fibroids were shrinking so that they couldn't read them, and it just so happens that right now when you come to me, your fibroids are getting bigger, so I could detect them, Madam. Besides fibroids, you also have endometriosis. Endometriosis occurs when the inner lining of the uterine wall (endometrial tissue) grows outside the uterus. In women with endometriosis, the tissue undergoes a process of thickening and shedding, which is the same as the menstrual cycle. However, the blood eventually settles and cannot come out because it is located outside the uterus. These deposits will irritate the surrounding tissue. Over time, scar tissue or irritation marks are formed. This condition can prevent pregnancy due to the presence of endometrial tissue that grows and covers the fallopian tubes, thereby blocking the meeting of the egg and sperm. That's why you have not been able to get pregnant until now, Mrs. Ganke, even though your eggs and your husband's sperm are healthy, if you have these problems, then you will still have difficulty to have children."

Stefi's heart felt like it was being squeezed from the inside, it hurt. so much that it made her difficult to breathe. Stefi, who had been feeling fine all this time, didn't expect to have these kinds of problems. She felt like the sky was falling on both of her shoulders. Her hopes of having a child from Leon were even further away, especially as she knew that Leon didn't want to touch her if she didn't give him a stimulant.

"Then what should I do, Doc?" asked Stefi in a trembling voice.

"Surgery, Madam."

Stefi's eyes widened. "S-surgery?"

"Yes, we have to do surgery to remove your fibroids and endometriosis, Madam," answered Doctor Bryan again with a smile.

Stefi was silent for a long while to digest the obstetrician's words. Sitting in front of him, her brain was processing the words the doctor had just said to her.

"Will such a surgery leave scars on my body, Doc?" asked Stefi again.

"Of course, Madam, it's just that nowadays technology is fast developing..."

"No!! I don't want to do any kind of surgery! I don't want my perfect body to have surgical scars, especially on my stomach. I don't want my sexy body to be ruined if you do that major surgery," said Stefi quickly spontaneously. She didn't hesitate to say that for fear that Leon would leave her if she had surgery scars.

Doctor Bryan took a deep breath. He then reached for his laptop trying to show the healing process after performing such a surgery. However, just as he was about to turn on his laptop, Stefi suddenly stood up straight, her breath was ragged with emotions. "I will never ever want a scalpel to tear this body that I have treated for millions of dollars!. I'd rather not get pregnant if I have to do that. Maybe I'd be better off using a surrogate mother to carry our child."

"But Madam..."

"Excuse me," Without hesitation, Stefi then left Doctor Bryan's office after saying goodbye in anger.

Seeing the attitude of his new patient, Dr. Bryan just smiled faintly while shaking his head. He did not expect that there would be a woman who would prefer to hire a surrogate mother rather than carry her own child when she still had the chance to have a normal pregnancy. Because there were still many patients, Doctor Bryan continued to examine other patients who had been patiently waiting for him outside.

Full of anger, Stefi walked to her car after getting out of the elevator that took her down to the basement. After she got into her car, Stefi hit the steering wheel repeatedly to vent all of her frustration and emotions. Her initial purpose to check herself to find out whether she was pregnant or not after returning from Norway, had in fact, ruined, and she got this unfortunate news that she had never expected at all.

"No, I will never let those doctors use a scalpel to damage my beautiful body! I will not let that happen, my body is my asset, my body is my future! I can't let Leon be disappointed in me because I have a permanent scar on this beautiful body of mine ...! Aarrggghhh! That is impossible! I don't want that to happen, I'd rather not be pregnant instead of doing that stupid thing! Stefanny Ganke must remain perfect, without any flaws and blemishes on her body!" said Stefi ambitiously while touching her voluptuous body, which was the result of treatments to a special beauty doctor secretly. Stefi didn't want anyone to know that she was doing the treatments. Because all this time, Stefi had always boasted that her sexy body was obtained from a strict diet and regular exercise for years. Therefore, she had to pay her doctor very dearly to keep her mouth shut.

While feeling her chest, Stefi smiled. "These breasts, I don't want my beautiful breasts to be ugly when I got pregnant. Well, I've decided to just use the surrogacy method. There must be many poor women out there who are willing to be paid to get pregnant and give birth to other people's children... Stefi, Stefi, you are indeed very smart! By doing this, then you don't have to turn fat and lose your beautiful body. All you have to do is just sit back, shop, and just enjoy life until that woman gives birth to our child. Yes, I just need to do that! Hahahaha... oh my brain smart, I adore you!"

After finished praising the beauty of her body, Stefi finally decided to leave the hospital where Doctor Bryan practiced. She chose to go home and try to discuss her plans with Leon. Stefi was sure that Leon would agree with this grand plan.

< Luxembourg >

With a private jet belonging to Muller Finance International, Erick and Alice arrived in Luxembourg. Their arrival was immediately picked up by Anne alone. In fact, Anne could not leave the Clarke family's residence because Alan kept asking her to be near him. Since returning from Norway, Anne had deliberately kept her distance from Alan so as to frustrate him. The man was tormented by his passionate desire for Anne. That was why today she had asked Luis for help to keep Alan away from her, so she could pick up Erick and Alice alone.

"That's Madam ...."

"Anne!!!"

Erick's words stopped when Alice screamed loudly in his ear. Before he had time to protest to his girlfriend, Erick was suddenly shocked when Alice immediately handed over her heavy handbag and immediately ran to Anne with joy, like a child meeting her mother.

"Oh my God, I don't know whether my girl is actually normal or not. Why is she more excited to meet my boss's wife than me, her boyfriend?" Erick said in his heart without taking his eyes off Alice, who had hugged Anne tightly after previously jumping up and down in front of Anne.
