Chapter 1317

Lydia stopped in her tracks and turned to Quincy, disbelief flooding her eyes. She understood every word he said, but hearing them strung together like that felt utterly surreal. "So, you're telling me," she said slowly, "that your mother drugged you with that kind of drug?"

"Yes." Quincy nodded, though saying it out loud made him feel deeply humiliated.

Still, he had to tell her the truth. Regardless of whether they ended up divorcing or not, he couldn't let Lydia believe he was some heartless player messing around with other women's feelings.
