“The child is fine for now. But, they found some drugs in Ms. Garcia’s system, and there’s still a risk ofmiscarriage. The doctor said they’ll do their best to ensure that she and the baby are safe,” Keeganwithdrew his gaze and said in disdain.
Albert was taken aback. “Drugs? What kind of drugs?”
Stella casually glanced at Hylda. As expected, her face turned paler upon hearing about the medicine.
Keegan did not hold back. “Abortion pills,” he said.
“Abortion pills?!’’ Albert’s heart trembled. “Wasn’t it the fall that caused her to bleed?”
“I’m not too sure about the details. Maybe you should ask the doctor,” Keegan replied. He knew thatsome things were better left unsaid to avoid suspicion.
Not long after, Xenia’s attending doctor arrived and explained her condition to Albert. The more Albertlistened to what the doctor said, the darker his expression became. “We’ve asked Ms. Garcia about thepills, and she insisted that she didn’t take any. However, she mentioned that she had a glass of juice atthe wedding that tasted strange. She thought it was just that it had gone bad, so she didn’t drink muchof it. As a result, it did not cause any serious complications.”
After a brief pause, the doctor added, “Mr. Jewell, if the drugs were administered during the wedding, Isuggest Mrs. Jewell should get a blood test as well. It’s possible that her miscarriage was caused bythe pills.”
Hylda realized that Xenia wanted to pin the blame on her, and she quickly retorted, “There are twotypes of abortion pills, Mifepristone and
Misoprostol. The former terminates pregnancy from within, while the latter induces contractions toexpel the embryo from the body. There’s no way someone could’ve drugged her with those on thesame day she nearly had a miscarriage.”
The doctor was taken aback and said, “I never specified the type of drugs found in Ms. Garcia’ssystem, Mrs. Jewell. Why are you so certain that it’s one of the two you mentioned?”
Hylda, who was caught off guard, replied, “Aren’t those two the most common ones in the market?”
“Mrs. Jewell, I think the most important thing now is to find out whether you have been drugged. Don’tyou care about finding out what happened to your child?” said Olivia.
Hylda’s abnormal reaction raised strong suspicions in Albert’s mind. Her fear of checking thesurveillance footage, her aversion to getting a blood test, and her fall from the gazebo all pointed to herwanting to get rid of the child.
“Isn’t having a child later in life supposed to be a joyous occasion? Why does she seem so indifferent?It’s not like she was pregnant with someone else’s child,” Felicity muttered.
This statement struck a chord in Albert’s mind. ‘Hylda had no reason to reject the child, especially afterlearning that Xenia was also pregnant.
She’s a smart woman. She must’ve known that having another child meant that she would get a largershare of the family’s wealth. Yet, she still didn’t want the child. The only possible reason for that is thechild was not mine.’
Hylda’s heart sank upon hearing that. Sophia pointed at Felicity and yelled,” What kind of nonsense areyou on about, you moron?!”
Felicity’s eyelids twitched as she yelled back, “You know I’m right, bitch!”
She was about to roll up her sleeves and teach Sophia a lesson, but Vermont hugged her from behindand pulled her away. “Let’s stay focused on the situation and not cause any trouble,” he said.novelbin
Felicity kicked her feet in protest and complained, “That bitch literally called me a moron when shelooks dumb as hell.”
She pounded Vermont’s shoulder as she continued, “Can you be more like Keegan? He couldn’t wait totear Sophia apart when she disrespected Stella. Yet, here you are, pulling me away while she’s callingme names. You’re my boyfriend. Shouldn’t you be on my side?”
Vermont put his arm around her shoulder and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll avenge you.”
Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Albert had already figured out everything.
He stared at Hylda with a tense face and asked, “Whose baby was that?”
