Chapter 352 Samples

After a few moments, Cain and Kimmy soon arrived at the Derhan Palace. They were earlier than expected, but it was still a good thing, in their opinion.

"Wait a sec, I have to go into my office real quick," Cain whispered into Kimmy's ear just as they reached the door to the reception hall. "Will you be okay alone?"

Looking at her, Cain unknowingly let his nose linger on Kimmy's scent. He just loved her intoxicating smell, a pleasant sensation that just made her so addicting to him.

"Stop sniffing me like that. There are people around," Kimmy scolded him as soon as she noticed, a blush forming on her face as she ignored the growing heat inside her. Somehow, Cain's subtle gesture was making her body feel aroused. And to think that they were in public! Not to mention the cameras that were clearly present from every corner.

Smirking, Cain chuckled and kissed her cheek as he murmured, "Who cares if they watch us? Let them die of envy. We both know that you're my Princess."

At his teasing, Kimmy gently hit him on the chest as she pouted, "Stop teasing me. Just go. Geez…"

Giving Kimmy one last wink, Cain turned around and quickly left as she entered the reception hall to do her job. Knowing that she was going to be busy attending to and assisting the guests who arrived early, he then hastily walked towards his private clinic in the palace. He still had to get a sample of himself to give to Cedric.

"There…"

As soon as he was done getting his own samples, he then immediately walked to the Forbidden Wing to see Cedric. There, he handed the samples over to the man that had saved him.

Grabbing the vials from the doctor, Cedric creased his forehead as he mumbled, "I only need some blood. What's in the other bottle?"

Cain blankly uttered, "My sperm sample… I want to know if I'm still fertile or not."

Hearing about the other's bottle's contents, Cedric let out a slight cough before returning the bottle to him. He scoffed, "Can't you analyze that alone in your hospital?"

"I can't," the doctor bluntly denied. "What if it'd need some high-tech machine just for your kind? You do know that my hospital equipment is rated solely for humans."

"Fine then," Cedric plainly whispered with a sigh. "I guess I can squeeze this in somewhere."

"When can I know the result?" Cain inquired.

Raising an eyebrow, Cedric smirked as he replied, "Growing impatient, are we?"

"Who wouldn't be?" Cain shrugged. "And why are you here anyway? It's your brother's wedding. Shouldn't you be showing yourself to the public?"

"I'll show myself soon enough, so don't grow too impatient," Cedric scoffed. "Remember, I'm only taking over the throne since my brother has something important to do and his body won't be able to handle the task of juggling both it and ruling over a country." He then shooed the doctor away with a wave of his hand, "Now you better go back to Kimmy. I'll just call you once the results are in. By the way, are you sure you aren't feeling any alarming symptoms that can cause danger not just to Kimmy, but also to the people around you?"

Cain shook his head, "Nothing really, except for having a bit stronger senses than normal along with a heightened libido. I'm also healing faster than usual, though it still creeps me out, making me wonder if it's a good or a bad thing."

Cedric brushed off his friend's concerns with a small chuckle. "Don't worry, we'll find out the answers soon enough. Either way, it's good that your body's having a positive reaction," he shrugged. "Maybe it's because I didn't bite you, or something inside your body is fighting the negative effects of the infection. Anyhow, just make sure you're alert enough to run away from Kimmy as soon as you experience any unforeseen negative symptoms," the prince reminded.

Only nodding at the suggestion, he then soon left to go back to Kimmy's side. They still had a reception to attend, and he didn't want his princess to be suspicious of him by any means.

"Out of our way!"

"Clear the area!"

He was walking down the hallway, almost near the reception hall when he heard the beginnings of a commotion. Looking out, Cain quickly ran as soon as he saw Kimmy rushing out of the door with his father and assistant, Sean.

"What's going on?" he asked as soon as he reached his fiancee's side.

"Brione lost consciousness while walking her way here," Kimmy informed. "Come. They rushed her inside the bedroom and Gavin must be looking everywhere for you by now."

Cain only nodded in understanding as he then looked at Sean, who returned the gesture as he ordered, "Go in there now. I'll accompany Daniel here. Will already rushed outside to handle the media…"

"Got it."

With a slight nod, Cain pulled out his phone and quickly made a call to his team. In particular, he called for an obstetrician as he walked to Gavin's wing, making a beeline to him and Kimmy's shared bedroom. As soon as they arrived, he and his team immediately attended to Brione, while Kimmy held Gavin by the arm to pull him away from the scene and give some much-needed space to the medics.

"Calm yourself. Cain told me that he thinks Brione is pregnant, so I think she's just tired," Kimmy harshly whispered to the man, trying her best to appease her cousin.

Gavin was speechless at the chance that Brione was pregnant. Mixed emotions ran through his chest, and he didn't even notice as Kimmy pulled him onto the couch to wait for the scene to end. Meanwhile, she began assisting the rest of the family so that they wouldn't worry too much over something that could be natural and non-threatening.

"I-I hope Cain's right," Uncle Lucas excitedly stuttered as he sat beside his son, having only heard the news by the time he arrived.

"I'll handle the press as soon as the test results come out," Kimmy's mother offered.

Kimmy smiled, seeing how the two elders looked so excited while patiently waiting for Cain to announce the good news. A few moments later, Cain finally appeared from within the room, approaching everyone sitting on the couch as he looked at Gavin. With a smile, he said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty… You're going to be a father. Queen Brione's a bit fatigued, but she's well and healthy. She'll be waking up soon enough."

At the good news, Leila quickly hugged her brother, Lucas, as she squealed, "Ah! Congratulations, Brother! You're finally going to be a grandfather!"

On the sidelines, Kimmy couldn't help the tears welling within her eyes as she watched the joyful sobs coming from the elders. Ah, she couldn't wait till she got pregnant as well. She was sure her mother would scream with joy as soon as that happened.

As if sensing her emotions, Cain pulled Kimmy closer to him, his arms wrapping around her shoulders as he hugged her.

"This is such a joyous event; having a tone of good news coming out in a row," Kimmy murmured.

"Yeah," Cain agreed, his mind wandering to the subject of his test results. He could only hope that Cedric would give him some good news the next time he contacted him.

After all was said and done, Princess Leila informed the citizens of the good news. It was a joyous day after all, and the celebrations continued with Kimmy and her mother handling the guests.

"Hey. You're sweating hard," Kimmy noted of Cain when she finally managed to walk and fix her attention on her fiance, the guests finally having left one by one and giving her some time for her own.

Hearing her concern, Cain unconsciously loosened his necktie and murmured, "It's nothing. Just let me just go back to the office for a while. You and Dad can go back home without me."

Kimmy was about to say more, but Cain didn't let her do so as he quickly turned around and walked out of the hall.
