NovelEnglish“Thank you, but I’m good. Don’t worry. I just need to go to the Esastin
Villa 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 the company. Just Leave it in the manor, and I’ll grab it later.”

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 minutes later, 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 seafood lately. And scientists had recently found contraceptive compounds in fish. Could the doctors be detecting that, instead?
Sometimes, she would pull over and think about whether there were the ssteroidal compounds in seafood and what kind of seafood might have the schemicals.

When she arrived at Esastin Villa, she plugged her phone in to charge it, since the battery died. It was lunchtime; she ordered sfood 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 another large 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?”
“It’s me.” Megan’s voice reverberated in the car.
