Pampered by Billionaires after Being Betrayed novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55 Contraceptive Pills
There was sadness in Mr. Satan's eyes. "Once you know the whole truth, you'll understand."

"When exactly are you going to tell me all the truth?"

"When I've dealt with everything."

Back to square one.

All her questions would eventually loop back here.

It was essentially a dead end.

After Mr. Satan left, Emily went to the supermarket as usual to buy groceries for cooking.

Her mind felt empty, aimlessly pushing the shopping cart.

She felt like her rationality was still intact; she compared prices when buying things, selected items skillfully, but everything seemed to move at a slower pace, always taking a few extra seconds to react.

Just like now.

The cashier reminded her softly, "Ma'am, that'll be one hundred dollars."

Emily stood there blankly for several seconds until the person behind her in line urged her, and she finally came to her senses. "Oh, okay."

She had already taken out a bank card from her wallet, but after a moment's thought, she pushed it back in and paid with cash from her wallet, then hurriedly left the supermarket.

That bank card was given to her by Mr. Satan before.

Emily found it somewhat melancholic that she seemed to have grown accustomed to having him around all the time.

She was used to paying with his card, sitting in his car always in the passenger seat, even to his indulgence and care.

She once thought she was just accompanying Mr. Satan for a while, and if his beloved woman returned, she would leave. But Mr. Satan had already ensnared her with a sweet net. Everywhere she went, there was his scent.

That black hairpin was like a wake-up call, abruptly pulling her out of her sweet dreams.

On her way back to the Hilton Hotel with her shopping bags, she walked into that pharmacy again. "Please give me a box of contraceptive pills."

The pharmacist this time was different from the last one, still asking her if she wanted short-term or long-term.

Emily gritted her teeth. "Short-term, please."

The side effects of long-term contraceptive pills on the body were too significant, and taking them every day might easily be noticed by Mr. Satan.

"Here you go, this one can be taken for emergency contraception within 72 hours."

Emily nodded and took the pill box, then went to the counter to pay.

"Ma'am, we have a promotion on condoms today, very cost-effective. Would you like to buy some?"

Emily shook her head, tugging at her lips. "No, thank you. Could you please give me a glass of water?"
