The next morning, she still felt a sense of unease.
For the past two weeks, she'd been meticulous about contraception; there was no way she was going to let herself get pregnant with Felix's child.
Besides, she had been to the doctor before, who had told her that due to her frail constitution and a history of catching colds as a child, it wouldn't be easy for her to get pregnant.

That night, she thought he would torment her again, but he didn't. Instead, he just held her tightly.
