Victor was amused when he saw her peeping at him, "Eden, what are you doing?"
Being found out by him, Eden flushed slightly, "Nothing..."
"Then why did you peep at me?" Victor picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in her bowl.
Eden ate a mouthful of rice and replied, "If you didn't look at me, how would you know I was peeping at you?"
"You are quite eloquent." Victor gently patted her forehead, "Hurry up and eat. The food will turn cold in a while."
"Okay." Eden nodded. Since he didn't want to tell her, she would observe him on her own. She wanted to know why he took the pills secretly.
"Victor, I'll go to Abby's house after lunch. You're busy, so just stay at home and work." She wanted to go to the hospital and know about the pills. She was very anxious.
"Let Thalia go with you. But you haven't recovered. If you have a fever again, you will suffer. Go there tomorrow." Victor was a little worried about her.
"It's all right. I am rather bored at home. I'll recover soon if I go out to get some air." Eden said with her head lowered and looked normal.
Victor looked at her. Seeing that she insisted, he did not stop her anymore, "Okay, but don't stay there for too long. I'll pick you up after I finish my work."
"No, I can drive there by myself. It's too tired for you to drive back and forth." If he was really not in good health, he could not be so tired.
"I see. I'm very happy because you care about me so much." Victor reached out and pinched her pink cheeks.
Eden smiled and lowered her head to eat.
After lunch, Eden changed her shoes and drove away directly.
She did not call Thalia. It was not easy for Thalia to have two days off, so she did not want to bother her.
As soon as Eden left, Victor received a phone call from Dean.
"Mr. Alwynn, Barrett is making a scene in the company right now."
Victor's face was livid, "I've been waiting for him to do so. Inform the media and let them go to the company. I'll be there right away."
"Okay!" After hanging up the phone, Victor changed into a black shirt and trousers. His tall and straight figure looked very eye-catching.
Half an hour later, Eden arrived at a hospital. She knew a doctor here. She knew him when she was in Gate City. After seeing his post online, she knew that he had been transferred to River City.
She sent Doctor Roerig a message before coming. He was at work that day.
Eden went straight to his consulting room. Doctor Roerig was over fifty years old, and he liked drinking tea. Eden bought two boxes of nice tea and a basket of fruit. These things were quite heavy for her.
There were not many people in the room, and it was cold in the corridor. Eden knocked on the door and walked in. Only Doctor Roerig was in the room.
"Doctor Roerig, long time no see." Eden looked at his amiable face and smiled. He had a receding hairline.
Doctor Roerig's two sons were in college, and his wife was a nurse. Their only wish was to educate their sons to be useful people for the country, and their two sons studied medicine as well.
"Eden, here you are. Have a seat." Doctor Roerig looked at her and smiled lovingly.
Eden put the things on the table before sitting down.
Seeing that he was surfing on the recruitment net, Eden thought for a while. His two sons had graduated from the medical university.
"Doctor Roerig, your two sons have graduated from university, right?"
Doctor Roerig nodded with a smile, "Yes, my wife and I have worked hard for so many years, and they finally graduated. But they haven't found a job yet. You know it's hard to get a job now."
Eden nodded. It was not easy to get a good job indeed.
Eden was stunned. She wanted to hear the answer.
"Eden, you have three children."
"Yes." Eden couldn't wait anymore. Why did he mention the children?
"Doctor Roerig, what's wrong with my husband? I'm quite worried, because he takes the pills secretly." Eden looked at Doctor Roerig nervously, and her face was pale.
Seeing that she was disturbed, Doctor Roerig didn't say anything else. In fact, it was quite difficult for him to say this. He didn't know if she and her husband were deep in love.
"Eden, the pills are contraceptive. If your husband takes it, there will be a lot of side effects. You'd better ask him to stop eating it."
The answer was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky.
Eden couldn't believe what she had heard and stared at the pill in Doctor Roerig's hands with her eyes wide open.
"Contraceptive?" She couldn't help but say. Why didn't Victor let her be pregnant?
Why?
Didn't he want another child?
She was afraid of morning sickness and the pain of giving birth, but she just wanted him to accompany the child to be born and grow up.
She was so eager to have a child, but he didn't want it at all.
Since he didn't want it, he could tell her directly. She was not unreasonable. Why did he have to take the pills to hurt his body?
"Eden, are you okay?" Doctor Roerig felt a little guilty, but he would feel sorry for her if he did not tell her the truth.
