Chapter 47
In the car, Xandar drove a bit before starting the conversation, “Lucy, Christian asked me to thank you.”
Lucianne blinked in confusion, “For what?”
Xandar explained sadly, “For not asking Annie why they don’t have kids.”
Lucianne then shrugged and said, “There’s no need to thank me for something like that. The absence of kids is only for two reasons. One is because they don’t want them, in which case, who am I to question their decision? Or two, it’s because…unfortunately, they can’t have them. If that’s the case, then why bring it up to hurt them even more?” 15
Xandar laced his fingers with hers and kissed the back of her hand as he uttered, “You’re amazing.”
Xandar drove a bit more before he said, “I was supposed to let you know about the…delicate subject of kids for Annie before you met her but…Christian and I forgot to brief you beforehand. We only remembered when Russell came up to you when we arrived. By then, we thought it was too late. But when you didn’t ask them about not having their own children at all, even when Annie herself started talking about kids, Christian was more assured that you weren’t going to bring it up throughout our stay. And he really appreciates it. It’s not something that he and Annie… are comfortable talking about. What surprised us though is today was the first time in a long time that we saw Annie talk about kids with zero strain. She spoke about your interaction with Russell like she was just explaining what she saw. There wasn’t any sorrow in Annie like there was in the past whenever the subject of children came up. Neither Christian nor I know how you encouraged Annie to talk about your interaction with children without her breaking down but, sweetheart, keep doing it.”
Lucianne frowned as she whispered, “What happened…to Annie?”
Xandar took a breath before he said, “In the first year of their marriage, when they both visited a cafe one day, someone laced Annie’s coffee with a drug that suppressed pregnancy indefinitely.”
Lucianne was shocked. She thought that even if it were infertility, the cause would be a natural one. Xandar’s explanation had shocked her to the bone.
Xandar gave her a moment before he continued, “We worked around the CCTV footages and caught the culprit but before the interrogation could start, he committed suicide. It was a dead end from there. Christian and Annie visited every doctor and healer we know but they all said there was no cure.”
Lucianne digested the information before she asked cautiously, “Is that why Annie never attends government events with Christian?”
