Compared to Kate, Eddie felt even more embarrassed and didn't know where to look.
For the first time, his calm face had a tinge of red, and even his neck blushed slightly, while his ears perked up.
He had never bought such a thing before.
While working at the hospital during the day, he somehow thought of Kate and went to the pharmacy, asking his colleague to get him a box of emergency contraceptive pills.
Eddie had never been in a relationship, so when he bought emergency contraception at the pharmacy, some of the young nurses felt rather disappointed.
They wondered what woman had such charm to hook up with Eddie, who appeared gentle and easygoing but was actually extremely guarded and aloof.
As fate would have it, Mr. Owen happened t o come out of theoperating room on the left side of the first-floor lobby. He glanced at what Eddie was holding and smiled brightly, much like a sunflower in the sun. He patted Eddie's shoulder and advised him with a profound tone, "Eddie, you're a man."
"Yes."
"You're twenty-seven years old."
"Well, that's my nominal age... I'm actually twenty-five."
Mr. Owen's gaze fell on what Eddie was holding, and Eddie was left speechless, gaping and attempting to explain. "Mr. Owen, let me explain. This isn't for me; it's..."
He stopped mid-sentence, his flustered expression leading Mr. Owen to wear a "I understand" expression. "I know it's not for you. This is for women. But let me give you a piece of advice. You're not young anymore. If you meet someone right and sleep with her, remember to take responsibility."
"No, I didn't do anything..."
"No need to explain. Morning-after-pill has side effects. If you don't want children, remember to take precautions. I speak from experience."
With that, Mr. Owen had other matters to attend to. He smiled meaningfully at Eddie before turning away and leaving with a group of other doctors.
Eddie was left speechless. That phrase, "I speak from experience," sounded strangely familiar.
Two days later, the weather was bright and sunny. Kate's mood had improved after resting at home for two days. When Cheyenne came to visit, Kate was wearing a retro-style, bright red, floor-length dress. The dress had a tight, cinched waist that accentuated her perfect figure, and a high slit that revealed a white lace underskirt, which swayed like water ripples as she walked.
Naturally, Kate had a doll-like face, and this outfit made her look even more beautiful than Nora, the school belle.
Graeme messaged her on Line, telling her that the court hearing was today. The lawyer they had hired was Zechariah, who had been deeply involved in criminal cases in the country for over a decade. After a brief discussion, the attorney confidently assured them of winning the case.
Kate and Cheyenne finally arrived at the scene. A sleek black Lamborghini adorned with gold trimmings, even the wheels had intricate gold carvings; it exuded opulence from head to toe.
