Chapter 840

“Right away, she asked to buy seven or eight Evergreen Pills. I suggested she only needed two–one for childbirth and one for postpartum recovery. There’s really no need for more at other times,” he said, based on his observations.

“You could tell she had been crying, right?”

“Absolutely. She hadn’t even dried her tears when she walked in.”
