Chapter 55
“ I don’t think they ‘re vitamins . I’ll let the pharmacists take a look to confirm what it is
Then she spilled some more pills and asked the nurse to send them to the pharmacist for checking . _
Not long after , the nurse returned while looking at me . _ “ The pharmacist said that they are not vitamins , but birth control pills ”.
Hearing that , I jumped to my feet . _ “ How is this possible? ”
“ What ‘s going on ? Isabel gasped in shock . _
“ Our reputable pharmacist is very professional . If he said they are birth control pills , it’s 100 % confirmed . ”
With that , Sara motioned for Isabel and me to sit down . _
“ Actually , at first glance , I thought the drugs looked a lot like birth control pills , but I could n’t confirm . Of course , if you don’t believe us , you can bring these pills to be checked at any specialized pharmacy .
Rather than doubting Sara or the pharmacist , I was more bothered by the fact that vitamins had turned into birth control pills . _ _ These were the pills I took daily _
Without passing the pills on to or through anyone , I would personally collect them directly from the hospital and return home . Assuming the hospital would n’t make such a careless mistake , the pills had obviously been swapped in
casa!
Clenching my fist tightly , I felt the resentment festering in me , making me wish nothing more than to kill that despicable couple ! _
From time to time I would ask myself why I could n’t get pregnant after miscarriage even after taking all those supplements and seeking advice from countless doctors so here was the reason ! _ _ Not to mention someone like me who has struggled _in conceiving , how could someone get pregnant by taking birth control pills every day ?
How terrible is this ! _ Who changed my pills ? Was it Carlos ? He was the first and only person I could think of .
Honestly , I didn’t want to doubt Carlos , but it was just the two of us and a child at home .
I would n’t be so foolish as to accidentally switch my own pills, and Bianca was so young , which left Carlos as the only suspect .
But why would he do that ?
“ Was it Carlos who switched the pills ? Isabel made her thoughts audible . _
Deeply absorbed in my thoughts , I didn’t answer because I was feeling very distressed . Frankly , I didn’t want to believe it was Carlos .
At that time , when I had my first miscarriage , the doctor had diagnosed that it would be difficult for me . get pregnant again . To improve my condition , Carlos took me to several doctors in hopes of a cure .
For a period of time , I had to take all kinds of traditional supplements that tasted terrible . _ _ When I couldn’t stand the taste anymore , Carlos would take these supplements with me so I could keep taking them .
Besides , Carlos even preferred to believe in the old wives ‘ tale , according to which , by adopting a child , the barren woman could conceive . So Carlos and Joana advised me to adopt Bianca . _ _
Now that I thought about it , Bianca had been in our house for almost four years . Although she never gave up taking medication or receiving treatment , she still could n’t conceive .
After a few years , I reached a point where I accepted the fact that I could n’t be cured . Since we had Bianca , who was obedient and adorable , I decided to give up the treatment . However , Carlos was very determined and encouraged me to _continue with my medication . With all his heart , he believed that we should not give up while there was still a ray of hope that one day we would have a child !
But now , it was all just a joke . _ I was not able to give you a child . Instead , her lover got her pregnant . _ _
As I thought of the affair between Joana and Carlos , as well as the child in Joana ‘s womb , I could n’t help but suspect that it was all
Carlos ‘s work .
