Chapter 55


    “ I don’t think they ‘re vitamins . I’ll let the pharmacists take a look to confirm what it is


    Then she spilled some more pills and asked the nurse to send them to the pharmacist for checking .  _


    Not long after , the nurse returned while looking at me . _ “ The pharmacist said that they


    are not vitamins , but birth control pills ”.


    Hearing that , I jumped to my feet . _ “ How is this possible? ”


    “ What ‘s going on ? Isabel gasped in shock .  _


    “ Our reputable pharmacist is very professional . If he said they are birth


    control pills , it’s 100 % confirmed . ”


    With that , Sara motioned for Isabel and me to sit down .  _


    “ Actually , at first nce , I thought the drugs looked a lot like birth control pills , but I could n’t confirm .


    Of course , if you don’t believe us , you can bring these pills to be


    checked at any specialized pharmacy .


    Rather than doubting Sara or the pharmacist , I was more bothered by the fact that vitamins had turned


    into birth control pills . _ _ These were the pills I took daily  _


    Without passing the pills on to or through anyone , I would personally collect them directly from


    the hospital and return home . Assuming the hospital would n’t make such a careless mistake , the pills


    had obviously been swapped in


    casa!


    Clenching my fist tightly , I  felt the resentment festering in me , making me wish nothing more than to k


    ill that despicable couple ! _


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    From time to time I would ask myself why I could n’t get pregnant after miscarriage even after taking all


    those supplements and seeking advice from countless doctors so here was the reason ! _ _ Not to men


    tion someone like me who has struggled _in conceiving , how could someone get pregnant by  taking


    birth control pills every day ?


    How terrible is this ! _ Who changed my pills ? Was


    it Carlos ? He was the first and only person I could think of .


    Honestly , I didn’t want to doubt Carlos , but it was just the two of us and a child at home  .


    I would n’t be so foolish as


    to identally switch my own pills, and Bianca was so young , which left Carlos as the only suspect .


    But why would he do that ?


    “ Was it Carlos who switched the pills ? Isabel made her thoughts audible .  _


    Deeply absorbed in my thoughts , I didn’t answer because I was feeling very distressed . Frankly , I did


    n’t want to believe it was Carlos .


    At that time , when I had my first miscarriage , the doctor had diagnosed that it would


    be difficult for me . get


    pregnant again . To improve my condition , Carlos took me to several doctors in hopes of a cure .


    For a period of time , I had to take all kinds of traditional supplements that tasted terrible . _ _ When I c


    ouldn’t stand the taste anymore , Carlos would take these supplements with me so I could keep taking


    them .


    Besides , Carlos even preferred to believe in the old


    wives ‘ tale , ording to which , by adopting a child , the barren woman could conceive . So Carlos an


    d Joana advised me to adopt Bianca .  _ _


    Now that I thought about it , Bianca had been in our house for almost four years . Although she


    never gave up taking medication or receiving treatment , she still could n’t conceive .


    After a few years , I reached a point where I epted the fact that I could n’t be cured . Since we


    had Bianca , who was obedient and adorable , I decided to give


    up the treatment . However , Carlos was very determined and encouraged me to _continue with my me


    dication . With all his heart , he believed that we should not give up while there


    was still a ray of hope that one day we would have a child !


    But now , it was all just a joke . _ I


    was not able to give you a child . Instead , her lover got her pregnant .  _ _


    As I thought of the affair between Joana and Carlos , as well as the child in Joana ‘s womb , I


    could n’t help but suspect that it was all


    Carlos ‘s work .


    An indescribable sadness came over me .  _


    In sickness and in health , love and care , until death do us part ? _ As


    I thought back to our wedding vows , I still could n’t think of a reason why he would do such a terrible th


    ing to me .


    Giving me a shove , Isabel nudged me when I didn’t respond . “ Linda , say something ! Was Carlos th


    at imbecile who switched the pills ? _ ”


    Now that things have gotten to this point , what else can I say ? _ With a bitter smile , I


    replied : “ Besides him , I ca n’t think of anyone else ”.


    “ That scoundrel ! Why is he doing this to you ? _ Isabel thundered . _ She could n’t help but curse him


    . _ “ He ‘s just despicable for treating you this way. Burning bridges now , huh ? FDA – if that . II


    seriously can’t take this anymore ! Linda , let’s ughter them ! ”
