“Curtis, from where did you learn of this medication?” Jeremy cut him off in a solemn tone. “Who’s taking it?”

Curtis recalled the list of medications he sent to Jeremy a while ago which he didn’t receive a reply on. Now that the latter was questioning him in a strange tone, the concerned Curtis asked, “Is there anything wrong with them?”

“Tell me who’s taking them first? Is it Rayna?”

“Mmm-hmm.”

Jeremy continued, “Tell her to get rid of them. Those medications have been confirmed five years ago to contain substances that are harmful to the mother and her fetus. That’s why they have long been banned internationally. I don’t know where she had gotten them from, but long-term use will cause the fetus to die in the mother’s womb.”

“Are you sure it’s a banned drug?” Curtis’ expression had grown extremely sullen. “She received the drugs from the hospital. If there’s something wrong with them, there’s no way the hospital would have dispensed it to her.”

Jeremy reminded him, “Curtis, there are all sorts of characters in a hospital. Since you don’t work there, how would you know they give the same drugs to all pregnant mothers?”

The gravity of the situation immediately dawned upon Curtis, after which, he strode out of the VIP lounge with a scowl on his face and a growing sense of dread.

Meanwhile, Rayna had changed into her bridal gown. With Kristie and Roxanne escorting her, she entered the car and headed for the church.

Despite feeling the urge to say something, neither Roxanne nor Kristie dared to do so.

Their car sped through the streets and arrived at St. Paterlica’s Church in half an hour.

Outside the church, the press had already set up camp on both sides of the red carpet in an orderly manner. With their cameras aimed at Rayna, they started clicking furiously the moment she alighted from the car, hoping to get the best shot of the bride.

Linda, who had arrived ahead of time, came up to receive her daughter.

As she stared at Rayna in her wedding gown, it finally dawned upon her that her daughter was all grown up and about to get married. “I’m sorry that I failed to take good care of you.”

“Mom.” Rayna gave her a look of resignation. “Can you not say such things on my wedding day?”

Linda nodded. “Fine, fine. I’ll stop.”

Holding Linda’s hands, Rayna walked on the red carpet in the direction of the church.

As she approached the building, anxiousness began to descend upon her previously calm mind, causing her to feel a little lost.
