This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Continuing, Viola said, “Among us sisters, we should harbour no grudges.”
Mary was pleased to hear this and swiftly responded with a grin, “Viola is right, there’s nothing that sisters can’t get through.”
Was this the Viola she knew?
Or was this who Viola always has been?
Has she been overestimating Viola all this while?
Thinking about this, Sylvia slightly narrowed her eyes.
Cynthia Wilkins visited.
Her main purpose was to meet Viola.
“Viola, my friend has taken the medicine you prescribed and nothing has happened yet. Shall we go and visit her?” Cynthia asked.
Viola gave a slight nod, “Yes, we can.”
They went to the Phils family following Cynthia’s lead.
Claire was still impeccably dressed in a luxurious outfit, “Cynthia.”
Carrying her medical kit, Viola took Claire and Benjamin’s pulses, then looked up slightly, “Have both of you been taking your medication religiously?”
“Absolutely on time!” Claire replied.
She now desperately wanted a child, whether it meant taking medicine or even possibly undergoing surgery; she was willing.
Viola slightly furrowed her brows and continued to ask, “Did either of you take any contraceptive measures?”
Contraceptive measures?
Claire and Benjamin exchanged bemused glances.
A moment later, Claire said, “Miss Thompson, are you kidding? We are struggling to conceive; how could we possibly take contraceptives?”
“If no contraceptives were used, then such a problem shouldn’t arise,” Viola continued, “Both of you are very healthy and fit the criteria for conception.”
Claire looked at the young girl in front of her, not older than seventeen or eighteen, her eyes filled with doubt.
She was so young, she probably hadn’t given birth herself, how could she possibly treat this sort of issue?
It just didn’t seem plausible!
But since Viola was invited by Cynthia, she couldn’t disrespect her. Claire continued, “Miss Thompson, what do you think our issue is? I assure you that neither my husband nor I have taken any contraceptive measures!”
At this moment, Benjamin nodded as well, “Right, maybe Miss Thompson could check us out again?”
Viola maintained her composure and said, “I’ll prepare a new prescription for both of you.”
With that, she pulled out a paper and pen from her bag and began writing a prescription.
After a moment, she handed the prescription to Claire.
“Madam Martins, I have some words for you alone.”
Claire nodded, “Okay.”
She followed Viola outside.
“What is it that Miss Thompson wants to discuss with me?” Claire asked proactively.
Viola continued, “Madam Martins, please tell me honestly, have you been taking contraceptives?”
“No,” Claire continued, “I have been wishing for a child even in my dreams!”
Speaking about their previous DINK decision, Claire felt deep regret.
Had she known how hard it would be to have a child, she would never have chosen to be DINK.
Viola nodded slightly, “If that’s the case, I suggest you pay more attention to Mr. Martins.”
“My husband?” Claire asked.
Claire laughed and said, “That’s even more unlikely! I’ve been married to him for over ten years; I know him better than anyone.”
Firstly, Benjamin loves her.
Secondly, she trusted Benjamin’s integrity.
Thirdly, it was her who proposed the DINK lifestyle; now that she didn’t want it anymore, Benjamin would be more than happy! How could he possibly use contraceptives!
Therefore, Viola’s suggestion was simply absurd.
“Madam Martins, I’m merely suggesting,” Viola continued, “Since you’re confident in your knowledge about your husband, it might be that I made a mistake. Continue with the medication I prescribed, getting pregnant isn’t something you can rush, it should come naturally.”
Claire then asked, “Cynthia mentioned that you previously helped a couple conceive, how long did they take to get pregnant?”
“Four months,” Viola answered.
Claire nodded her head, feeling suddenly less anxiously. Well, if they got pregnant after four months, it hasn’t even been a month for her.
Perhaps, by the time she reaches the four-month mark, she will be able to conceive too.
“Alright,” Claire nodded, smiling, “If I can successfully conceive, I will certainly express my gratitude to Miss Thompson.”
Viola responded with a slight smile, “You will indeed get what you wish for.”
After leaving the Phils’ home, Cynthia asked curiously, “Viola, tell me honestly, between my friend and her husband, whose problem is it really?”
