At this moment, his thoughtfulness felt like cruelty in disguise.

At the sight of the pill, Olivia's mind flashed back to her lost child, and that Raphael didn't even know she once lost a baby. He was coercing her into taking a pill so that she wouldn't fall pregnant.

But the doctor had informed her that her chances of conceiving again were very low.

Olivia didn't think it was Raphael's fault because he was in the dark about her pregnancy and then miscarriage all along. They were both too young to realize they needed to use protections in the first place.

However, right now, his actions had hit a nerve.

The color drained from her face. Summoning all her strength, she stood tall in front of him, and even managed to give him a small smile as she said, "I'm in the safe period and won't get pregnant."

Raphael's expression darkened.

He took a few steps toward her and stopped. Then he smiled and remarked, “It's safer to take the pill. Don't you agree, Miss Evans?"

Olivia stared at him, her lips quivering.

After a long time, a self-deprecating Laugh suddenly burst forth from within her and she replied, "You're right. The situation would be bad if I get pregnant."

She snatched the pill from his hand without hesitation.

But she didn't take the bottle of water.

She swallowed the pill dry and felt it scrape against the inside of her throat as it made its way to her stomach. But she ignored the pain and continued meeting his eyes.

Even if tears were blurring her vision, she could clearly see how he forced her to take the pill.

As the pill slipped into her stomach, she felt a burning sensation, but she kept her smile in place and asked, "Mr. Jones, may I leave now?"

Raphael scanned her face.

After all, they were in a relationship for a while. He could at least see through her. Olivia was on the verge of tears. He couldn't figure out why his heart clenched, but something prevented him from getting that "yes" out of his mouth.

What was he just supposed to say at that moment?

Last night, he had taken advantage of her. This morning, he had insulted her by offering to give her money and then even forced her to take the morning-after pill.

And she took the pill obediently. What reason did he have to be dissatisfied?
