Chapter 1207
“The child is fine for now. But, they found some drugs in Ms. Garcia’s system, and there’s still a risk of miscarriage. The doctor said they’ll do their best to ensure that she and the baby are safe,” Keegan withdrew his gaze and said in disdain.
Albert was taken aback. “Drugs? What kind of drugs?”
Stella casually glanced at Hylda. As expected, her face turned paler upon hearing about the medicine.
Keegan did not hold back. “Abortion pills,” he said.
“Abortion pills?!’’ Albert’s heart trembled. “Wasn’t it the fall that caused her to bleed?”
“I’m not too sure about the details. Maybe you should ask the doctor,” Keegan replied. He knew that some things were better left unsaid to avoid suspicion.
Not long after, Xenia’s attending doctor arrived and explained her condition to Albert. The more Albert listened to what the doctor said, the darker his expression became. “We’ve asked Ms. Garcia about the pills, and she insisted that she didn’t take any. However, she mentioned that she had a glass of juice at the wedding that tasted strange. She thought it was just that it had gone bad, so she didn’t drink much of it. As a result, it did not cause any serious complications.”
After a brief pause, the doctor added, “Mr. Jewell, if the drugs were administered during the wedding, I suggest Mrs. Jewell should get a blood test as well. It’s possible that her miscarriage was caused by the pills.”
Hylda realized that Xenia wanted to pin the blame on her, and she quickly retorted, “There are two types of abortion pills, Mifepristone and
Misoprostol. The former terminates pregnancy from within, while the latter induces contractions to expel the embryo from the body. There’s no way someone could’ve drugged her with those on the same day she nearly had a miscarriage.”
The doctor was taken aback and said, “I never specified the type of drugs found in Ms. Garcia’s system, Mrs. Jewell. Why are you so certain that it’s one of the two you mentioned?”
Hylda, who was caught off guard, replied, “Aren’t those two the most common ones in the market?”
