The Billionaire’s Secret Quartet novel Chapter 593

She was puzzled, wondering who could have been so courteous as to knock before entering an already open door.

In walked a maid, carrying a tray laden with food.

She set down a bowl of chicken soup with sweet corn, oatmeal porridge, and pork ribs on the bedside table. And lastly, she set down a glass of water and two white pills.

"Ms. Everhart, please enjoy. I'll be right outside should you need anything," the maid said politely before exiting the room.

Thalassa scanned the food with her eyes, but her gaze finally landed on the two white pills. She stared at them for a moment before a bitter smile played on her lips.

It was a smile filled with helplessness, sadness, and self-mockery.

Without hesitation, she picked up the pills and swallowed them down with the water.

She had been through this too many times. So she knew precisely what those pills were.

They were birth control pills!

Before, she was given one. And then, she was given two.

Did Lysander know he was too reckless? So he feared she might get pregnant? And to play it safe, he gave her two pills to prevent her from conceiving?

What a heartless, cold man.

After taking the pills, she didn't rush to eat. Instead, she leaned back against the headboard and closed her eyes.

For the pills to take full effect, it was best not to eat within half an hour after taking them.

Lysander had gone to great lengths to prevent her from getting pregnant. She couldn't let him down.

Besides, not being pregnant was a form of protection for herself.

In the past, she didn't know who the fathers of her children were, but they were born anyway.

But then, things were different. She feared that even if she got pregnant, she would have been forced to abort.

Rather than that, it was better not to conceive at all. It was a protection for herself and respect for a potential life.

Thalassa closed her eyes, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Lysander finally managed to put the children to bed.
