But Camila was quick to refuse.

“That's not necessary. I'll be fine by myself. The doctor said it's just fatigue.”

"I see. All right, then.”

Glenda left after Camila finished her meal. When she was alone again,

Camila took the bottle and uncapped it.

She poured a bunch of pills into her open palm. They looked just Like the pills she usually took. She took a sniff, then popped one into her mouth.

Only then did she realize that something was not right.

The contraceptive pills were a little bitter, which was why she used to swallow them down with a gulp of water

Unfortunately, it seemed to be the same reason why she had failed to notice that Isaac had swapped the pills with real vitamins.

Because the one she was currently chewing was not bitter at all. In fact, it had a sweet, fruity taste.

Camila recalled then that Isaac had a recent collaboration with a huge pharmaceutical company. He would have gotten his hands on any drug he wanted with no difficulty.

She scoffed to herself. It Looked Like he really wanted a daughter.

To think that he would resort to such an underhanded trick.

A bitter smile curved on her Lips.

Just then, her phone started ringing. Camila glanced over and saw Isaac's name flashing on the screen.

Right on cue, she didn't waste a second picking it up. "Isaac."

Camila didn't expect that Isaac would call her

Twice already, he went abroad to go on some vague business

During both times, he had never contacted her of his own accord.

That was why when he took the initiative today, Camila found it really surprising.

"You.

"I heard from Glenda that you are sick," Isaac cut her off.

Camila tightened her grasp on the phone and pressed it harder against her ear. It turned out that the reason why he had called her was because Glenda had told him that she was sick.

It wasn't because he missed her.

Her eyes cast downward, hiding the dejected Look on her face. "I'm fine. I just passed out because I was too tired.”
