Mated To My Obsessive Stepbrother

Chapter 130

130

I got worse as the sun went down. At first, I thought I felt this sick because it was just a few more hours left for Kester to seal his fate with another woman. But as the clock ticked away, I realized it wasn't just emotional.

It was physical, too.

By the time I finished getting dressed for the occasion, my hands were trembling. My vision swam in and out of focus. Every little movement I made felt like wading through wet concrete.

Claire had offered to stop by. She said she'd braid my hair and fix my lashes just the way I liked. But I told her we'd meet at the venue instead. I hadn't seen her since our last conversation about Kester-and after everything she told me... I didn't know how to face her.

Didn't know how to face myself.

Didn't even know what I was still angry about... I was exhausted.

The moment I stepped into the car, the motion made it worse. My stomach twisted. My hands turned clammy. My head pulsed behind my eyes like a second heartbeat.

Something was wrong.

On our way to the venue, I decided that the driver should take me to Medix Hospital to get myself checked. Perhaps I needed some medicine to feel better. My big day is in five days. I wanted to be at my best.

I had also carried along the two birth control pills I had left intending to stop by the hospital close to the house and get a refill after the party, but I could just get it from Medix instead.

"The results will be out in two hours, ma'am. And the pills would arrive in another one hour. We're trying to restock on that. Would you like to wait for it?" The doctor said after taking some samples from me to run a series of tests. Although I didn't pay attention to the list of tests she had mentioned that she'd like to carry out after examining and asking me some questions.

I was too dizzy and lightheaded to even listen.

All I wanted was to feel better.

"Examine the pills and give me the exact same ones I've been using." I said, leaving the unlabelled bottle on her desk. She didn't need to ask why it had no label. She already knew. She was once a young girl who lived with her parents, right?

"Of course, fua'am."
