Forbidden Passion

Chapter 650 Sponsors

Hubert, Boris, and Noomi messed around outside before hitting the sack. After chugging their bedtime milk, they crashed. Phoebe tucked them in with little towels and grabbed the bottles.

Evelyn, fresh out of the shower and still toweling her hair, strolled into the kitchen. "Hey, when you were playing with Hubert, Boris, and Noomi on the slide earlier, Astrid from across the street came over and quietly asked me for the prescription. Should I give it to her or not?"

Phoebe paused, rinsing the bottles under the faucet. "Did she see Hubert, Boris, and Noomi?"

"Yeah, Astrid's desperate for a grandkid. She's been fighting with her daughter-in-law about it for the past two years. Compared to her, Taylor seems pretty chill and smart," Evelyn sighed.

Phoebe said, "The prescription works differently for everyone. If it doesn't work and causes problems, they'll blame us."

"That's what I thought too," Evelyn agreed. "But Anthony said it could nourish the body and wouldn't cause harm."

Phoebe gave Evelyn a look. "If you want to give it to them, make it clear it can nourish the body, but we can't promise it'll help them conceive."

"Yeah, I was thinking the same. We've been neighbors for years; we should help if we can, right?" Evelyn used to play cards with the neighbors and got to know Astrid that way.

Phoebe knew Evelyn had a good relationship with the neighbors. They'd share local goodies when they came back from their hometowns and looked out for each other.

Now that Astrid had asked, it was hard to say no, but Phoebe still hoped Evelyn would be careful.

Phoebe put away the bottles and dried her hands with a paper towel.

Evelyn looked at her. "You went to the hospital to see Sarah today. How is she?"

Phoebe was speechless.
