Chapter 1461: She’s Lying to Him
Willow Crawford said, "This pill was developed by my mommy. My mommy said there are three pills, and this is the first one. Once you take all three, the poison of Break Heart Grass in your body will be cured."
Morgan Ashworth didn’t expect the pill to come so quickly. He never doubted his mother-in-law’s medical skills, but the poison of Break Heart Grass had already invaded his organs, so he felt uncertain and prepared for the worst.
Now, the pill had actually arrived.
Morgan Ashworth didn’t want to die at all; he really wanted to live. This unexpected joy made him smile from ear to ear. He took the pill, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.
"I’ll go get you some water." Willow Crawford went to get water.
Morgan Ashworth hugged her from behind, "Thank you, honey."
Willow Crawford curled her red lips, "Hubby, you don’t need to thank me. Five years ago, it was because I fell victim to the Demon Bell Charm Skill that I poisoned you with Break Heart Grass. I caused you harm, and it’s all because of me; I’m merely atoning for my sins."
Morgan Ashworth buried his handsome face in her neck, rubbing affectionately, "Honey, I have never blamed you. It wasn’t your fault. Every beautiful day now is your gift to me, and I’m very content."
Willow Crawford turned around and hugged Morgan Ashworth’s strong waist, "We will be good, happy together forever."
"Yes, honey, we’re already married. When do you think I should formally visit your family?"
"Do you want to go?"
"I know your family might not accept me, but I will try to show my sincerity to let them like me, accept me, and we are already married. That’s my biggest confidence."
Silly.
Willow Crawford knew his apprehension, but there was no need to worry; her family would accept him.
However, she couldn’t let him meet her family.
"Let’s not go for now. My mommy is busy researching the pill and can’t be distracted. Once the pill is fully developed and your health recovers, we will visit my daddy, mommy, and older brothers," Willow Crawford said.
Morgan Ashworth thought this made sense. He nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to my wife."
"Honey..." At this moment, Morgan Ashworth placed a hand on Willow Crawford’s fragrant shoulder.
Ouch.
Willow Crawford quickly let out a cry of pain.
"Honey, what’s wrong?" Morgan Ashworth immediately asked with concern.
Willow Crawford’s face didn’t look good, seeming very pale. She covered the spot below her shoulder, "It’s nothing. I accidentally bumped into the wall in the shower, and it hurts a bit."
Morgan Ashworth immediately wanted to take off her clothes, "Let me see, is it a serious injury?"
Willow Crawford instinctively dodged back, not letting him touch her, "No need to look, it’s a small injury, I’m fine."
"Honey, what’s wrong?" Morgan Ashworth squinted his dark eyes, almost suspecting something.
Willow Crawford immediately raised her eyebrows, feigning coquettishness, "Are you trying to take advantage of me again? You’ve exhausted me these past few nights, and now my shoulder is hurt, so you’re punished not to touch me for a few days."
Morgan Ashworth frowned, "Honey, can you change the punishment? Not touching you is difficult to accept."
"My mommy said you need to abstain after taking this pill."
"Why didn’t you say earlier? Are you lying to me?"
"I’m not lying; believe it or not." Saying that, Willow Crawford ran away.
Morgan Ashworth chased after her, "Honey, don’t run."
...
Willow Crawford stood in front of the mirror, she undid two buttons and exposed her skin. The place where she started using a needle to extract heart’s blood bruised a bit; she didn’t know extracting heart’s blood would be so painful.
Also, she felt a little dizzy now. Since she extracted a drop of heart’s blood, she felt her vitality was completely drained.
Willow Crawford took a large band-aid and covered the needle spot. She feared Morgan Ashworth would see it and become suspicious.
At this moment, Morgan Ashworth’s voice came from outside, "Honey, what are you doing in there?"
"Oh, I’m taking a shower." Willow Crawford immediately turned on the shower, letting the sound of water flow out.
In the room, Morgan Ashworth felt she had been a bit confused lately. She went to shower but didn’t take any pajamas.
Morgan Ashworth took the pajamas, intending to give them to her, but accidentally bumped into the small jar of folic acid placed on the bedside table.
Crash, the small jar fell to the floor, and the pills inside scattered all over the ground.
Darn.
These were the folic acid she took every night, to assist with pregnancy.
Morgan Ashworth knelt down, picking up the folic acid pills from the carpet.
Soon, he discovered something wasn’t right.
He placed a folic acid pill under his nose, and the smell was very similar to vitamin pills.
He was familiar with vitamins, and he shouldn’t mistake them.
But Willow Crawford had told him these were folic acid pills to assist with pregnancy.
Morgan Ashworth thoughtfully glanced at the closed bathroom door, then put the small bottle in his pocket and walked out.
Entering the study, Morgan Ashworth made a call, summoning a private doctor.
He knew he shouldn’t doubt Willow Crawford, but he had to find out the truth. The best way was to let the doctor diagnose it.
"Young master, what do you need?"
Morgan Ashworth handed over the small bottle, "Can you look at what’s inside, whether it’s folic acid or vitamin?"
The doctor took the small bottle, carefully studying it, and after a while, he said, "Young master, this is vitamin."
Morgan Ashworth immediately pressed his lips into a grim line, "Can you confirm it, isn’t this folic acid?"
The doctor assured, "Young master, I have practiced medicine for decades, and I will definitely not mistake folic acid for vitamin. These are definitely not folic acid; they’re vitamins. If you don’t believe it, I can conduct a medical component analysis."
Morgan Ashworth already believed it. After several seconds of silence, he said, "I understand, you can leave now."
"Yes, young master."
The doctor left, and Morgan Ashworth sat at his desk with a gloomy expression. The truth was now clear, it was not folic acid.
When she said something about pregnancy, she was lying to him.
Why did she lie to him, why did she say vitamins were folic acid, was it that she didn’t want to have a baby?
Is it possible she didn’t want to have a baby so much that she resorted to deception?
Just the thought of this made a surge of anger build up in Morgan Ashworth’s chest.
"Hubby~" At this moment, Willow Crawford’s called from outside.
Willow Crawford had finished her shower, she arrived at the study doorway and pushed open the door, "Hubby, are you still working tonight?"
Morgan Ashworth looked up, his gaze landing on Willow Crawford’s face.
Willow Crawford sensed his oddness, "Hubby, what’s wrong?"
Morgan Ashworth threw the small bottle on the carpet, "Willow, what’s actually inside this small bottle? Shouldn’t you give me a proper explanation, huh?"
