Mei gradually realized something was off in the conversation, and a bit of her soul returned to her body.
Mrs. Sinclair nodded. This child was indeed very good, but how could they hide something like this from the parents? She asked,
"Does your family know about this?"
Otis shook his head. "This… isn't really something that needs to be told to my family."
Mrs. Sinclair's expression turned stern.
"How can you not tell your family? This is important."
Otis froze for a moment, then nodded.
"Yes, you're right, Mom. I should tell them."
Mrs. Sinclair nodded approvingly.
"Mn. It's alright, I'll contact a doctor I know later, and have them check your condition."
Otis blinked.
"Condition? What condition?"
Mrs. Sinclair said,
"Well, it's not exactly a 'condition.' It's just that you and Mei can't have children. But it has to be addressed. It's fine, even if it doesn't work, it's nothing to be ashamed of…"
Otis was stunned.
"Huh?"
