Chapter 76: Don’t Forget to Take Your Medicine

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she seemed to feel his breathing pause on the other end of the phone.

After a moment of silence, he said in an extremely faint voice, “I’m your brother-in-law.” He paused for a moment and then said in a gentle tone, “Selena was very worried about you last night.”

The word ‘brother-in-law’ reminded her that he was questioning her from a slightly more authoritative and removed perspective.

It cut open the scar in her heart again, which felt so painful that she lost all her strength to rebuke him.

“Mr. Grant. Please tell my sister that I’m fine and that she doesn’t have to worry. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I’m at work.”

Before John Grant could say anything, she had already hung up the phone. Her grip on her phone tightened as she stared at the darkened screen. It felt as if her heart had gone numb.

After calming herself, she made a call to the Rivers family. Mrs. Walter picked up the call and immediately said, “Miss Serenity, where did you go last night? Madam was worried about you all night.”

She had already thought of an excuse. “Mrs. Walter, I’m fine. Last night, a colleague fell sick and was hospitalized. 1 was in the hospital with her. I forgot my phone in the office.”

Mrs. Walter was relieved after hearing what she said. Then, Mrs. Walter updated her on how the family reacted last night. As expected, Benjamin Rivers could not care less but Master Samson was quite dissatisfied and lost his temper.

She smiled as she listened to Mrs. Walter silently. Then, she hung up.

She knew Master Samson was not concerned about her life or death. He was just afraid that she would cause trouble and embarrass the Rivers family.

She had almost no feelings for that family.

During lunch, a female colleague in the department suddenly retched when she smelled a fishy smell. Another colleague asked, “Miki, are you pregnant?”

This female colleague Miki had been married for three years and the entire time they knew her, she had never reacted in this way around seafood. At home, she was often picked on by her in-laws.

“1 don’t think so…” Miki knew her body very well. She had been in a car accident previously and the doctor had said that the chances of her getting pregnant were very small.

When she heard the word ‘pregnant’, Serenity suddenly froze. She had been too caught up in the moment last night with Gabriel that she didn’t think they had taken any precautions.

After work, she went to the nearby pharmacy to buy some emergency morning-after medicine. She also bought a bottle of water and drank it. Only then did she relax.

Her relationship with Gabriel was purely sexual and there was already someone else deep in her heart. Besides, Gabriel did not love her either, so she had never worried about getting pregnant with him.

Just as she was about to hail a taxi home, Caleb called. “Miss Serenity, President Jones wants me to remind you not to forget to take your morning-after pill.”

She threw the half-filled bottle of water into the trash can beside her. “Caleb, please tell President Jones that he doesn’t have to worry about this. 1 know what to do.”

Caleb heard how calmly she responded but he was still a little worried and felt the need to remind her kindly.

“Miss Serenity, if President Jones doesn’t agree, you won’t be able to give birth to the child even if you’re pregnant.”

She had a relaxed smile on her face as she looked up at the bright sunshine. “Caleb, I just took some of the very medication President Jones wants and bought some extra. Why don’t 1 take a photo of them and send it to you?”

That was when Caleb felt that he had been a little too nosy. Serenity was different from the other women. She was not greedy for money, so she probably would not use her child to threaten President Jones.

“There’s no need. I know that Miss Serenity is a smart person and would know

what to do..”
