Chapter 20 Second Attempt at a Reconciliation Smiling , I nodded and finished the entire glass .
Elsa saw me drink the last drop of juice and sighed in relief .
Then , she picked up the glass before her and began sipping it slowly as she chattered .
As I watched her drink the juice to the last drop , I could barely hide the smile in my eyes .
I patiently made small talk with her for a while before the doorbell rang .
Elsa eagerly got up .
Ill get it .
I was surprised by the person who entered when the door opened .
Jeremiah walked in holding a bouquet of babys breath .
He was stunned to see Elsa and subtly signaled to her with his eyes .
Elsa knew why he was here .
Despite her dissatisfaction , she held it back and forced a strained smile .
Youre here , Jeremiah .
I was trying to convince Jane not to get a divorce .
Jeremiah reached out and dotingly ruffled her hair .
Youre always this kind .
The corners of my lips twitched in utter helplessness .
The two people supposedly trying to dissuade me from getting a divorce were now putting on a display of affection .
When Jeremiah placed the bouquet in front of me , I raised an eyebrow and asked , What do you mean by this ? Considering the harsh words I had said this morning , it didnt seem likely hed come seeking reconciliation again .
Yet here he was .
It seemed Marcos had given him quite some pressure .
Otherwise , he wouldnt have repeatedly humbled himself to make amends .
Perhaps because Elsa was present , Jeremiahs tone sounded awkward .
Jane , I meant what Isaid this morning .
Come back with me , and I promise I wont let you down again .
I accepted the flowers he handed over .
Just as his face started to light up with a smile , I tossed the bouquet into the trash .
The smile froze on Jeremiahs lips , and his expression darkened instantly .
He glared at me , longer able to contain his anger .
no Gritting his teeth , he snapped , This is the second time Ive been trying to make it up to you ! Dont push your luck ! I sneered in disdain , Do I have to agree to reconcile just because youre begging for it ? Dont you think you think too highly of yourself ? Chapter 20 Second Attempt at a Reconciliation 2/2 Jane ! Jeremiah was about to erupt when Elsa clutched her stomach and groaned in pain .
She collapsed onto the couch with a pale face .
Jeremiahs expression changed instantly .
He immediately rushed to her side and urgently asked , Elsa , whats wrong ? 1 Elsa clutched her stomach and forced out a strained reply .
It hurts … My stomach hurts so much … C She looked up at me before glancing at the glasses on the table .
Realization hit her .
Jeremiah was visibly at a loss .
Why would your stomach suddenly hurt ? Are you … I got up and feigned concern .

What are you standing there for ? Take her to the hospital right away .
Only the hospital can figure out whats wrong .
My heart sank as I watched Elsa break out in a cold sweat from the pain .
It had just been less than ten minutes since she finished the juice .
The way she was suffering hinted at the high drug dosage .
I shuddered to think what mightve happened to me if Id been the one to drink it while pregnant .
Jeremiah bent down to pick Elsa up and was ready to send her to the hospital .
A trace of panic flashed through Elsas face .
She pushed him away and said in a fluster , No need for the hospital .
Its just a stomachache , and Ill be fine after using the restroom .
The reason why she was so reluctant about having Jeremiah send her to the hospital was simple .
She feared tests might discover traces of the drug , and even more so , she was terrified of having Jeremiah find out about my pregnancy .
