“Thank you, but I’m good. Don’t worry. I just need to go to the Esastin


    Vi first to fetch my luggage, and then head to the manor.” Debbie took a deep breath, pretending to


    be calm.


    Left with no choice, Emmett handed her the car keys.


    “Carlos has the


    Emperor. This Mercedes-Benz belongs to thepany. Just Leave it in the manor, and I’ll grab itter.”


    “Sure. Thank you, Emmett.” Debbie took over the car keys and cranked the ignition. After hearing a


    satisfactory roar from the engine, she drove off.


    Little did she know that Emmett walked into the hospital as soon as she was out of sight. He went


    straight to the obstetrics and gynecology department.


    Several minutester, Emmett called Carlos.


    “Carlos, Debbie just drove herself back.”


    “Mmm.” After a short pause, Carlos asked, “The test results?”


    Recalling what the doctors had told him, Emmett swallowed before stammering, “Carlos, the pills would


    harm a woman’s health. The doctors suggested Debbie stop taking—”


    Before he could finish, Carlos hung up the phone.


    Emmett looked in the direction where Debbie left, and wondered, ‘I thought Mr. and Mrs. Hilton loved


    each other. Why take the pills?


    What’s more, everyone knows long-term use of birth control pills is harmful. Why did Carlos allow his


    wife to take them?‘


    On her way, Debbie was absent-minded. She kept going over it in her head. What foods had she eaten


    recently? Could any of those foods cause the results to skew?


    She had eaten a lot of seafoodtely. And scientists had recently found contraceptivepounds in


    fish. Could the doctors be detecting that, instead?


    Sometimes, she would pull over and think about whether there were the same steroidalpounds in


    seafood and what kind of seafood might have the same chemicals.


    But she had to admit that she knew next to nothing about this.


    When she arrived at Esastin Vi, she plugged her phone in to charge it, since the battery died. It was


    lunchtime; she ordered some food delivery on Meituan app. She sat down for a quick meal, then


    checked to make sure she had all her Luggage, and drove towards the manor.


    On her way to the manor, she kept thinking about what the doctors had told her. ‘There must be


    something wrong with the two doctors. Is it possible that they were bribed? Maybe I can get a second


    opinion somewhere else.’


    There was anotherrge hospital not far away. Debbie decided to turn around and drive to the hospital.


    She stopped at a red light.


    That was when her phone rang. She saw the caller ID, and it was an unknown number.


    She connected the Bluetooth and then answered, “Hello?”
