Chapter 3 The Morning-After Pill

Beatrice didn't know what happened in the hall afterward.

She only knew that her mother, Monica Baldwin, looked bad when she came back. It seemed that she had been bullied by other members of the Baldwin family again.

Ryan had no business acumen, and Xander had long given up on him, so the couple had always been looked down upon in the Baldwin family.

Although people still called them "Mr. Ryan Baldwin" and "Mrs. Monica Baldwin", they didn't really respect them.

Monica lightly pinched Beatrice's arm.

"Are you crazy? Such a great opportunity!"

What opportunity?" Beatrice asked back.

"Last night you came back in a sorry state. Do you really think I don't know what happened? You should have apologized! Now everyone is talking about this, and Caden must treat you well if he wants to secure his position as the heir. But you gave this good chance to Madelynn! I can tell that girl is scheming," Monica said angrily.

"If I had admitted that I snatched someone else's fiancé, drugged him, and slept with him, especially when he was my uncle, do you really think I would end up well?"

Beatrice withdrew her hand and wanted to ignore Monica.

As a mother, Monica did nothing wrong.

After her father disappeared, Monica did not abandon her. When she remarried, her only request was to bring her daughter along.

But Monica relied too much on men.

The Baldwin family was a cruel place, and she was destined to be disrespected since she relied on Ryan.

Monica was stunned and said, "That's better than having to please others! Their first son died early, and your stepfather is not as good at business as Caden. Caden will take over the whole^ family business sooner or later. If you could be with him..." "Mom, stop talking," Beatrice interrupted coldly.

"Can you think for me? Don't be so selfish. Your stepfather is honest, and I can't get pregnant anymore. The Baldwin family looks down on me. I have to rely on you!" Monica raised her hand and wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

Beatrice said straightforwardly, "Then you go ask Mr. Caden to marry me! Go now!" Monica was stunned and didn't dare to say a word.

No one dared to mess with Caden.

Monica was no special.

After a moment of silence, Beatrice suddenly thought of something and grabbed Monica's arm. "Mom, do you...do you have that pill?" What pill?"

The morning-after pill," Beatrice said helplessly.

"You... I'm too old. I don't need it anymore. And your stepfather has always been considerate of me, so I..."

"Mom, the whole Baldwin family must still be watching me now. Can you buy the pill for me? Yesterday was my ovulation period."

Beatrice opened the mobile app and looked at the highlighted dates. She began to feel anxious.

She loved Stella.

But she couldn't give birth to Stella.

Stella should be born into a happy family in this lifetime instead of suffering with her.

Monica furrowed her brows and let out a sigh.

OK."

"Thanks."

Beatrice finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After Monica went out, she didn't go to buy the pill herself. Instead, she sent a trustworthy servant to buy it.

Once the servant left, Monica didn't care anymore, as everyone's attention was now focused on what was happening in the hall.

Little did Monica know that what she had told the servant was heard by someone.

Half an hour later.

Monica entered the room, carrying an opaque bag.

"Take it now. If you delay, it might not work anymore."

Beatrice nodded and glanced at the words on the medicine box: Emergency contraception within forty-eight hours.

When holding the pill, she did not immediately eat it but subconsciously touched her belly.

Her beloved daughter used to live here.

She was so sensible and adorable.

But she really couldn't make Stella go through another birth without blessings and then die alone out of sickness.

How scared Stella must have been!noveldrama

Beatrice thought, "Stella, don't blame Mom.

"In this lifetime, please find a pair of parents who love you so that you can grow up happily." Beatrice's face was pale. She put the pill into her mouth with her trembling fingers, but she couldn't swallow it down her throat. She could only tilt her head back and gulp down the water, leaving herself no room for regret. Even though she was drinking warm water, she felt cold all over her body. After she swallowed the pill, her tears fell down. The thought, "Caden, you finally got rid of the two people you hated the most.

After calming down, Beatrice took a deep breath and quickly got up, preparing to destroy the medicine box. Suddenly

The door was forcefully pushed open and slammed heavily against the wall, causing the entire room to shake twice. Beatrice and Monica didn't have time to react at all before they were grabbed by the arms by Xander's servants.

In a short while. Beatrice was brought back to the hall again.

She was forcefully pushed forward by someone and fell directly to the ground.

Her body was exhausted from last night, and at this moment, she could only grit her teeth and barely support herself.

As she lifted her gaze, she met the disdainful gazes of the crowd, even more intense than before.

Caden's dark eyes were especially dangerous and cold.

The surroundings were so quiet.

She could only hear Madelynn's suppressed sobbing.

Beatrice turned her head upon hearing the sound. Madelynn's eyes carried a profound meaning although she was crying.

The next second, a medicine box was thrown at Beatrice's feet.

Xander slammed the table.

"What is it? Explain it to me clearly!"

Beatrice trembled

slightly

and said honestly, "The morning-after

pill."

Caden glanced sideways, his voice as cold as ice."Are you sure?"

The elongated, lingering question dripped with mockery.

Beatrice lowered her gaze and, after clearly seeing the name of the pill, her heart skipped a beat.

The pill box did say it was a morning-after pill.

But the aluminum foil shell said it was a fertility pill.
