Debbie sighed with resignation as she watched his retreating figure.
‘Maybe I should apologize to him. After all, I shouldn’t have slapped him.*
Since the hospital belonged to Carlos as well, it didn’t take a long tto finish the exam. After several minutes, Debbie walked out.
She saw Carlos smoking at the end of the corridor. Instead of coming up to him, she found a bench and sat down.
She turned things over in her mind. ‘We’re both right. Each of us is too possessive, but it’s because we love each other so much.

Carlos didn’t cback until the results cout.
One of the doctors told Carlos, “There’s no problem with Mrs. Hilton or her periods. We tested for the common compounds found in birth control pills and her results were positive. That’s why her periods might be a little off. Carlos, I suggest you use condoms instead. After all, birth control pills”
“Wait!” Debbie interrupted the doctor.
“What did you just say?”
“Mrs. Hilton, birth control pills aren’t the right contraceptive option. If you don’t want a child for now, you can choose—”
Again, Debbie interrupted him.
“That can’t be right. I only took it once, a long tago. Would it still be showing up in my system?”
Meeting Carlos’ cold gaze, Debbie felt her heart hit rock bottom.
She had only taken the birth control pill once. And after she had promised Carlos that she would give birth to their baby once she got pregnant, she hadn’t taken any since.
But now, the doctor said that she had been taking the pills. It was all too much.
The two doctors looked at one another, and one of them told Carlos apologetically, “Carlos, here are the results. You can have a Look. And we can run the test again if you think they’re in error.”

“Let’s try this again!”
Carlos and Debbie spoke at the stime.
Despite Carlos’ objection, Debbie looked at the doctors and said in a stern voice, “Think very carefully about what you’re saying. I need another test. If it turns out I haven’t been taking the pills, I’ll sue you!”
Carlos cast a glance at her and said, “I said, there’s no need for that. Let’s go home.”
“No! I’m not going home. I need another test! They can’t just lie aboutlike that.” Debbie had seen disappointment in Carlos’ eyes when the doctor said she had been taking birth control pills. She wanted to clear her name.
Carlos, however, turned around and left.
Debbie overtook him and said anxiously, “Carlos, I only took the pill once. Trust me.”
