"Lis, what brings you here?"

Linda's response confirmed her expectations, and she smiled, "I've been back for a while now. No worries, I'll be quick. I'll send you the address, so come over soon."

Elisa promptly shared her location with Linda.

Elisa and Rachel then devised a plan to deal with the hospital discreetly.

She exchanged a sturdy look at Rachel, who reassured her and said, "Why bother finding someone else? I'm right here! We can easily devise a reason or excuse in no time."

She froze upon hearing the phrase "in no time."

She said bluntly, "Using minor illnesses as an excuse definitely won't work."


"Where there's a will, there's a way," Rachel chuckled and teased Elisa.

Soon after Linda's arrival, Elisa and Rachel welcomed her to join them at the table. However, Rachel's meal was interrupted as she suddenly covered her mouth and backed away from the table.

Feigning an alarmed appearance, Elisa asked with concern, "Rachel, what's wrong? Did something you eat make you feel sick?"

Rachel tugged on Elisa's sleeves, her beady pupils communicating her thoughts.

Just as she was about to fetch water for Rachel, a sudden thought flashed through her mind.

Rachel's face lost all color as if she was struck by a sudden illness.

"F***! Ever since I came back with Vincent, I've been feeling off. Elisa, can you come with me to the hospital later? I want to get checked out."

Pretending to be overwhelmed by the news, Elisa stood frozen on the spot.

Rachel's so good at acting that there's no way anyone would be able to tell it's all a setup!

Rachel finally pulled her out of her intruding thoughts when she said, "Lis, what's wrong? I'm mature enough, and with Vincent's wealth, having a child is normal, right?"

Convincing Linda would be an easy task in Vincent's absence.
