Athana Hospital.
Rose dragged Sherri straight to the pharmacy after lunch. They had stuck to each other closely after
Natalie left.
Sherri asked, "What are you planning to buy from the pharmacy? Cod liver oil? Don't hospitals have
it?"
Rose held Sherri's wrist as they walked inside the pharmacy. "It's not cod liver oil. I still have plenty of
those at home."
Sherri became more curious. Her parents were not at home. There was no need to buy them any
nutritional supplements. "What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? Are you buying
contraceptives? I still have a few boxes of these in the drawer of my room. Go get them yourself."
Sherri was honest with Rose. She said, "Hackett bought them. They are of good quality. They are not
bad."
Rose frowned. She looked at Sherri and said, "There's no need to share those details with me. I'm not
buying that. I'm buying a pregnancy test kit."
Sherri was surprised. She was loud. "If you're pregnant, you should go for a blood test. Why are you
buying a pregnancy test kit?"
Rose stopped in her tracks. She decided to explain clearly to Sherri. She said, "Firstly, I'm unsure if I'm
pregnant. We both know the doctors in the laboratory. If it turns out that I'm not pregnant, I'll be
embarrassed. I'll use a pregnancy test kit to test first before going for a blood test. It will be better."
Sherri felt that Rose's words made sense. There were too many people in the hospital. There might be
a few people who would talk about it. "That's true. I didn't consider it thoroughly. I've been exercising
too much at night recently. My brain isn't working well."
Rose knew what Sherri meant when she said she had been exercising. Rose smirked. "You're good
with your words. You've been led astray by Hackett ." Rose shook her head and pushed Sherri forward.
She was a little embarrassed to buy the pregnancy test kit herself. That was why she had dragged
Sherri along.
Sherri grinned. She strode forward after she heard what Rose said. "I agree."
Rose could not help but roll her eyes. She said, "Let's change the topic."
Sherri shrugged. "Fine."
Sherri and Natalie used to frequent this pharmacy in the hospital. When they walked in, Sherri realized
that the store assistant manning the pharmacy was an unfamiliar face. Sherri had not been to this
pharmacy for a long time. She asked, "Has there been a change in the boss?"
The store assistant stood behind the counter. "That's right. The previous boss was arrested for selling
fake medicine. I think he was sentenced."
Sherri did not look carefully when they went into the pharmacy. "Isn't it still the same name? Is it alright
to continue to use the name?"
The store assistant replied, "Yes. Our boss had thought about it. This pharmacy has been around for
many years. He was afraid the regulars would not come if he changed the name. That was why there
was only a minor change. He did not change it completely."
Once the store assistant had finished explaining, Sherri exited the pharmacy again. She used her hand
to block the sunlight. She looked up at the billboard above. There was only a slight change to the
name. It was hard to notice if one was not alert enough.
Sherri could not help but praise the pharmacy boss.
It was intelligent of him to have thought about retaining regulars.
Sherri took a good look at the name. She then entered the pharmacy again. She pointed at the glass
cabinet with her fingertips. "Give me six boxes of that pregnancy test kit."
Rose looked at her questioningly. She wanted to ask Sherri why she asked for so many boxes.
Sherri explained, "What if the pregnancy is too early to be detected? You need to test more often.
Besides, the expiration date is quite long. It'll not expire in a few days or months, right?"
The store assistant was a youthful girl in her early twenties. She nodded and answered, "The
pregnancy test kits here all have a one-year shelf life. You don't need to buy so many if you want a
simple test. You can get two boxes. The kit's separately packaged inside each box."
The store assistant was honest. However, Sherri thought her boss would probably be upset and fire her
if he heard what she said.
Rose nudged Sherri. She agreed with the shop assistant. There was no need to buy six pregnancy test
kits. She immediately decided, "I'll take two."
While Rose was still looking at the packaging, Sherri had already paid for them. Rose had seen the
price for the pregnancy test kit. There was a sound that indicated the payment had gone through.
However, Rose did not even look up.
Rose was about to leave. However, Sherri did not intend to leave. Rose stood at the side. She was
puzzled. She nudged Sherri. "Let's go. What else do you want to buy?"
Sherri replied, "I'm not buying anything. I've something to ask." The shop was previously caught selling
fake medicine. She had to probe. Besides, they often bought nutritional supplements from the
pharmacy. What if they happened to be those customers who were duped?
Sherri approached the store assistant. "Let's have a chat. Anyway, there aren't many people around
now. We'd bought things from this pharmacy in the past. Can you tell us what fake medicine the
previous boss sold? Do you have any insider information? Let's talk about it. I can't help but feel scared
at the thought of it."
Sherri looked worried. She was covering her chest with one hand. She wondered if she had taken the
fake medicine the previous boss had sold.
Rose subconsciously took a few steps away. If Sherri were an actress, she would be too
unprofessional. Her acting skills were too bad. She had acted too exaggeratedly.
The store assistant smiled. She replied reassuringly, "The previous boss was also timid. The other
medicines in the shop were all real. Only the contraceptive pills were fake. You would not be a victim if
you hadn't bought them. The boss who was arrested only sold fake contraceptive pills."
Sherri felt like she had been struck by lightning. She had never taken any medicine but contraceptive
pills. She thought about how she never had such lottery luck. Sherri licked her lips nervously. She was
not expecting such a reply. She asked, "Were all the contraceptive pills in the entire shop fake?
Including those imported types?"
Sherri exclaimed loudly. The store assistant was taken aback as she nodded timidly. "Yes, that's what
our current boss said. It would be a huge risk to use fake medicine for others. However, if it's the
contraceptive pills, they won't be a big problem as they would only be ineffective at preventing
pregnancies."
Sherri replied, "Thank you. Let's go."
They walked out of the door. Rose could not help but ask, "Why do you care so much about those
pills? Have you taken them before?"
Sherri grinned as she slapped her thigh. She was laughing animatedly. "I think Ruby was born due to
those ineffective pills. Are you surprised? No, I have to tell Natalie about it."
Rose was surprised.
"Does that mean Jasper as well?" Rose's mouth was wide open. She was in shock.
Sherri nodded. Rose said, "Oh my god, it's true love between the parents. The children were
unintentionally brought into this world. It applies to both you and Natalie."
Natalie had just finished her lunch. She was taking a nap on the sofa. She had just put down her phone
after speaking to Trevon. After she placed it on the coffee table, it did not take long for her phone to
ring.
When she saw the name on the phone screen, she picked it up again and turned on the loudspeaker. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
She placed the phone on her stomach and straightened the blanket on her body. She asked, "Don't you
need an afternoon nap?"
Sherri was on the other end of the phone. There was no hiding her excitement. "No, I don't need.
Natalie, I've some big news for you."
Natalie was extremely calm. It was a contrast to Sherri on the other end of the phone. Natalie asked
slowly, "What are you so excited about?"
Sherri replied, "Why do you sound so annoyed? I've something serious to tell you. It's big news. It's
about our pregnancies."
Natalie did not understand what Sherri was saying. She asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?
Are you pregnant again?"
Rose's voice could be heard from the other end of the line. She sounded anxious. It was apparent that
Sherri had also turned on the loudspeaker. "Can you just say it directly? Don't say what's unnecessary.
You've already made Natalie confused. If you continue talking like that, you'll take ages."
Sherri ignored Rose. She spoke into the phone again. "Do you still remember I asked you to buy those
contraceptive pills before we got pregnant?"
Speaking of that, Natalie felt guilty. After all, she had bought those that were going to expire soon. She
replied calmly, "Yes."
Sherri's voice suddenly rose a few notches. It made Natalie subconsciously move her phone away. "Let
me tell you, that boss had been arrested for selling fake medicine. Do you know what kind of fake
medicine he sold?"
Natalie could tell from Sherri's excited voice. "Could it be those contraceptive pills?"
It meant that she and Sherri would get pregnant. There was no way to avoid it.
Sherri's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Did you hear me?"
Natalie replied, "I heard you. I'm listening. Do you have any other things to say?"
Sherri asked, "Aren't you surprised?"
Natalie replied, "Even if I'm surprised, I'm not the type to dance and cheer like you. I'm the introverted
type."
After saying that, Sherri laughed out loud. She lamented that she did not have the intelligence to do
business. She could only deliver babies. Content of Draмąոovels.com
They chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up. After hanging up, Natalie sent a message to
Trevon. She told him that it was fate for them. They were destined to remain together.
The Wilson Group.
Trevon was signing some documents. He had accumulated a lot of work because of what happened
with Theo. Now, he was working overtime. He even used his lunch break. Jim rubbed his eyes as he
worked alongside Trevon.
Trevon read the message from his wife. He interpreted the message as Natalie's way of telling him that
she missed him.
Natalie replied to tell him that she was sharing her thoughts on how they were fated to be together.
Trevon put down his pen. He replied to Natalie and told her he had always known that he was the only
one for her. There was no way she would marry anyone else.
Trevon had said those words to Natalie at the staircase after Jenny left. Now that Natalie thought about
it, she felt that some things were destined.
Natalie smiled. She replied to her husband to tell him to get on with his work. She would prepare for an
afternoon nap.
Trevon reminded her to put on the blanket. He was afraid she would catch a cold.
After replying, he put away his phone. There was a smile on his face. Jim did not even need to ask. He
could tell that he was texting Mrs. Wilson.
