"Why don't you take medicine when you have a cold?"
Rhys looked towards the medicine box, and the medicine box was still in its original position, without even a trace of being opened.
Does Jenna hate me so much that she can't even stand a few minutes of taking medication?
Rhys' face looked a little unpleasant.
How should Jenna answer such a question?
She was not sure what kind of cold medicine she could even take.
"I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable; I don't want to take medicine."
Jenna tensed up, and hesitantly said her reasons.
However, such reasons did not even slightly ease Rhys' expression.
Rhys still had a straight face, and his scrutiny made Jenna feel that almost all her little secrets had been read by Rhys.
"You don't want to take medicine, or you don't want to see me?"
If Jenna really didn't want to take medicine, she wouldn't have come here and wouldn't be standing next to the medicine box.
He was not a fool, how could he possibly believe such a clumsy excuse?
Jenna stiffened all over and didn't know how to respond at all.
She couldn't possibly tell Rhys that she was pregnant.
She didn't say anything, it looked like she was acquiescing to Rhys' statement.
An awkward and dull atmosphere suddenly spread around the two people.
Rhys let out a self-mocking chuckle.
In fact, he had a lot of things in his mind that he wanted to tell Jenna, but under such circumstances, he couldn't speak at all.
Rhys left with these words and turned around to leave.
After watching Rhys leave, Jenna went to the hospital once she was sure he had left home.
She was a little anxious, so she went to a nearby small clinic.
In order to avoid being recognized, she deliberately wore masks and hats.
"Hello, I would like to ask if you have any cold medicine that pregnant women can take here?"
Jenna asked carefully, looking down at the transparent counter.
Upon hearing this request from Jenna, the doctor looked surprised but didn't ask any further questions about it. However, his strange gaze made Jenny feel extremely uncomfortable nonetheless
Silently taking over all of those medications from him after they were repackaged into new bottles without any mention of being specifically for pregnant women written on them anymore, Jenna didn't know what else to say except "Thank you." After paying for everything, she left hurriedly.
As soon as she got home, Jenna received a call from Lorelai asking why she had done such things . "Why did you do this to me?" Lorelai questioned repeatedly over the phone. "I trusted you enough to tell you everything! Why did you have to go ahead and post those pictures?"
Jenna couldn't make out what Lorelai was saying on the phone, but she could tell from her tone that she was extremely agitated. She kept repeating the words "photo" and "internet" over and over again.
"Calm down, Lorelai. What's going on?" Jenna asked, worried that it might have something to do with the money Lorelai had borrowed before. As far as Jenna could remember, all of those loans were from online loan sharks.
Did those people do something to her?
"What's wrong with you now? I'll come find you right away!" Jenna became anxious and started asking for Lorelai's location.
"I don't need your fake concern! It's already all over the internet now. What else do you want?" Lorelai was so worked up that she didn't even think about telling Jenna where she was.
What happened on the internet?
Jenna was confused because she had been busy dealing with Rhys and Mrs. Williams these past few days and hadn't paid attention to anything else.
"Isn't this what you wanted? We're supposed to be best friends, but you're trying to ruin me like this?" Lorelai accused Jenna of being responsible for whatever mess they were in now. It hurt Jenna deeply because there wasn't much she could do in a situation like this, not even for herself, let alone someone else.
Although technically married to Rhys, in reality, it felt more like living under someone else's roof without any real say or power.
