"Ah, really? Well, looks like you have a type. It turns out that you prefer those kinds of women too,"
Monica said sarcastically. To her, Fiona and Ivy were the same—they were both home-wreckers.
"Shyla's an evil woman, and Joshua is corrupt. Do you believe that? He's definitely not going to have
another term. He'll probably be investigated soon." Malcolm finally turned and faced her. He eyed her
sharply.
Monica didn't know much about politics. All she knew was that Joshua was the current mayor of City A.
He was dubbed as the best mayor in recent history considering the rate at which City A was
developing.
However, Malcolm knew for a fact that the mayor was involved in some dirty businesses. It could put
him in jail or destroy his family. That was one of the reasons why he didn't want his son to marry Shyla.
Upon hearing this, Monica widened her eyes in utter surprise. "Are... Are you serious?"
"When did I ever lie to you? Everything I say is true. Just watch and see what happens to Joshua."
Joshua can still get away with it for now because he has bribed officials. However, he can't hide from
justice forever. Sooner or later, he was going to be exposed.
Being mayor was desired by many. It was a position that was highly coveted. Joshua could actually
lose the job at any given moment.
"Why… Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Monica pursed her lips, feeling guilty.
"Would you have listened to me? You would still hate Fiona, wouldn't you? Honestly, you're too biased
against the girl. She hasn't done anything wrong. I've already looked into her. Would I purposely allow
my son to get harmed?" Malcolm asked. He wanted Monica to think about this.
Monica was lost in thought. After a while, she realized that she was wrong. Still, she wasn't going to
apologize to Fiona as she didn't want to lose face. Besides, there were many other upper class young
ladies in City A. Ethon didn't have to marry Shyla.
In the JR Hospital
A bodyguard had brought a lot of delicious food, including the beef noodles that Adrian loved.
Sitting on the bed, Adrian was so excited at the sight of the beef noodles that he cried, "Wow! Beef
noodles!"
Mandy looked at him helplessly as she picked up her hair and tied it up. She stood up and opened the
bowl of noodles for him.
Sitting on the other side, Fiona caught a whiff of the greasy soup, and it instantly made her stomach
churn.
"Urgh… Urgh..." Covering her mouth, she stood up and dashed to the bathroom.
"Nana, what's wrong?" Mandy immediately dropped what she was doing and followed her into the
bathroom.
Bending over the sink, Fiona could feel her stomach stirring. Soon, she felt the vomit climb up her
throat. The discomfort was too much for her, and she started crying.
"Nana, are you okay?" Mandy grabbed some tissue and handed it to Fiona.
She tried to force herself to vomit, but nothing came out. She took the tissue from Mandy. She figured
this was only caused by her unhealthy diet, so she didn't think too much of it.
"I'm fine." She wiped her mouth, smiled at Mandy and threw the tissue into the trash can.
"What happened? Why did you vomit all of a sudden?" Mandy eyed Fiona suspiciously. She began to
consider if Fiona was pregnant. She'd experienced this before, and this was how she felt when she
was pregnant.
"I haven't been eating on time recently. Maybe my stomach's just acting up." She put on a sweet smile.
She felt much more comfortable now that she was away from the greasy smell.
"Nana, I'm serious. Were you and Ethon safe when you two were still together?" Mandy asked, a
serious look on her face. Suddenly, she grabbed Fiona's arm.
Noticing the weird look in Mandy's eyes, Fiona already knew what she was thinking.
When they lived together, they made love almost every night. Most of the time, they used condoms.
However, there was one instance last month when Ethon didn't use one since Fiona was in her safe
period. Could that have been it?
"Umm... We didn't use one last month because I was in my safe period." She lowered her head, and
her face turned red immediately. Standing in front of Mandy, she felt like she had done something
wrong.
"Safe period? That's not reliable! You might be pregnant." Mandy frowned as she looked at Fiona.
She didn't know if this was good news or bad news for Fiona.
"What? How could that be possible? No, I've already broken up with him." She pouted. At the mention
of Ethon, she felt her heart ache.
"Why would it be impossible? Before I got pregnant, I would take contraceptive pills. It was thoughtless
of me. I didn't want a baby then, but I still got pregnant. Nana, don't do that, okay? Adrian's had a
congenital heart disease ever since he was born. It was caused by the pills. When I was still pregnant,
the doctor even suggested that I have the baby aborted. I just didn't listen to him. To me, Adrian is my
fate. I didn't want to lose him. I insisted on having Adrian. Now, looking back, I think I was too stubborn.
If I hadn't insisted on doing it my way, maybe Adrian wouldn't be suffering so much now," Mandy slowly
said. She suddenly looked at Fiona, a guilty look on her face.
Fiona had a complicated look on her face, feeling aggrieved.
What if she was really pregnant? Should she have the baby?
She had already broken up with Ethon. If he found out that she was pregnant, he would insist on
having the baby together. Monica would definitely meddle. She could even force Fiona to give up the
baby. Just the thought of this stressed Fiona out already.
