Chapter 522: Chapter 538: To Leave or Not to Leave? (3)

Percy Stanton remembered his mistake only after Isabel Smith reminded him. Since they hadn’t made love in a while, in the heat of passion, he forgot to use contraception.

It wasn’t her safe period, and they had had intercourse two or three times. There was a high chance of pregnancy.

Percy Stanton immediately thought of the child that had passed away inside Isabel Smith, and regret tinged his face. He moistened his lips, then said, "Taking pills is bad for your health."

People can make mistakes, but they shouldn’t repeatedly make the same ones.

Many things become true because of wishful thinking.

All along, she wasn’t the best version of herself. Now she couldn’t let herself betray others over and over again.

Feeling a sting in her eyes, Isabel Smith closed them, her voice lacked emotion as she said, "It’s worse to cause someone’s death."

Percy Stanton was at a loss for words. He gazed at Isabel Smith’s face for a while, then, seeing her lips were a little chapped from their intense lovemaking, he kept silent for a moment, got up from her, picked up the clothes scattered around, quietly got dressed, grabbed his mobile phone and wallet, and left.

Isabel Smith lay on the bed, listening to the soft closing of the door in the living room outside her suite. She then opened her eyes.

...

Redleaf Manor’s pharmacy operated twenty-four hours a day. Percy Stanton had never bought contraceptive pills before and didn’t know which ones would be least harmful to the body. So, he chose the most expensive one. At the checkout, he asked the salesperson, "Does this pill have a big impact?"

"Any contraceptive pill is bad for the body. We suggest you take it with some vitamins, it can have a mild alleviating effect."

So Percy Stanton also purchased a bottle of vitamins.

As he was leaving the pharmacy, his mobile phone suddenly rang. He peered at the screen, didn’t recognize the number, continued walking down the street with his medicine, then finally answered the call.

"Hello, who is this?"

There was no reply on the other end. Percy Stanton frowned, waited for a little while, and was about to hang up when Evelyn Osbert’s voice came through, "Percy, it’s me."

Percy Stanton didn’t know how Evelyn Osbert knew his number. He didn’t feel like asking and instead instinctively wanted to hang up.

"I know you might be angry, but I’m calling to apologize. I really didn’t know that the little boy today was your son. If I did, I wouldn’t have treated him like that..."

Percy Stanton didn’t listen to any more and hung up the phone straight away.

He stared at his phone for a moment, thought for a while, then added Evelyn Osbert’s number to his blacklist before striding back to the room.

Isabel Smith lay on the bed, seemingly asleep. He placed the medicine he had bought gently on the bedside cabinet, thinking that it could be taken within seventy-two hours, so it could also be taken tomorrow morning, and then prepared to leave quietly.

He made a slight noise when closing the door. Isabel Smith on the bed turned around and opened her eyes, asked in a groggy voice, "Percy, did you get the medicine?"

Percy Stanton nodded, walked over, picked up a bottle of unopened mineral water from the table, twisted it open, and handed it to Isabel Smith. He then took the medicine box from the table, opened it, took out a pill, and handed it to her.

When Isabel Smith reached out to take the pill, Percy Stanton’s hand withdrew slightly, and he said half-heartedly, "Isabel, this medicine is really bad for you."

Isabel Smith frowned, "Percy, you know why I have to, and must, take this medicine."

Percy Stanton closed his eyes and pressed his lips together. Only then did he slowly put the pill in front of Isabel Smith.

Isabel Smith stared at the small white pill for a moment, then reached out, picked it up, and without any hesitation, put it in her mouth. She took a gulp of water and swallowed it down hard.
