"No need. I don't want to disturb you with such a little thing. I've already got the prescription. By the way, I met Auntie and Shelly at the hospital," Joyce politely declined. Thank God she had not asked Jamie to come today, and she didn't want Luther to know she was pregnant.
"What? Did they give you a hard time?"
"Nope. I'm ready to go back now."
"Shall I ask Aaron to pick you up? I've got some things on my hands and I can't get away for a while." Luther said.
"No need. I'll just take a taxi back by myself." Joyce added, "Don't worry, the thugs won't dare to come to me again anytime soon. I feel much more comfortable getting some air in the street."
"Well, you take care of yourself. By the way, the new phone for you this time, according to Karl's request, was installed with the police department's location tracker. To ensure your safety." Luther explained.
"Oh, so, I see. See you at home then."
"Hmm."
Joyce hung up the phone and breathed a long sigh of relief.
She was worried that Jacqueline and Shelly would tell on her, but she didn't realize she had a location tracker in her phone. She was lucky she didn't hide her whereabouts.
She walked into the pharmacy next to the hospital.
She then went to buy a random box of stomach medicine on the counter to help digestion and protect the stomach mucosa. Since she lied, she also had to put on a full show and couldn't go back empty-handed.
After buying the medicine, she walked out of the pharmacy.
The sky was blue and high, and the sunlight fell on her shoulders. The strong light in turn made her dizzy and her nausea returned.
Knowing that she was pregnant, maybe it was a psychological effect, and she felt worse than before.
She gently stroked the small of her back.
It turned out that the recent sporadic nausea and sleepiness were all due to the presence of this little life in the belly.
This was too sudden for her, and there was no way to accept it at the moment.
