Chapter 261 The Truth (Extra)

Mina's face grew paler and paler, quickly turning into a full expression of uncontainable

anger.

"I always knew it, I always knew that Adrian, that kid, couldn't have done something

like that!"

The Moxley family raised him well, so how could he possibly take advantage of you when you were drunk? It's that beast from Church of Hope who has caused misery for both the Moore family and the Moxley family!"

Evelyn was completely puzzled, "Mom, what on earth is going on?"

After hesitating for quite a while, Mina finally told the truth.

"You've been married to Adrian for half a year now, and you still haven't gotten. pregnant. You even lied to me, saying that you two have tried everything. So, I thought of praying to the Blessed Virgin Mary and went to Church of Hope.

While climbing the mountain, I overheard a few people ahead chatting. They mentioned that they were on their way to the Church to offer prayers of gratitude.

Before, they came to ask for a child for their daughter-in-law, and now that she's

pregnant, they came to express their gratitude to a father. I asked them to help with the introduction, and then..."

Mina said with a guilty and regretful tone, "How could I have known that this

seemingly legitimate priest, who could actually enter a church, would turn out to be a

con artist?"

Evelyn recalled what she had just heard on the news: the so-called fertility pills that the priest had sold contained aphrodisiac ingredients.

Recalling the hazy memory from that night, it was after Mina had led her into the bedroom that I ended up in Adrian's bed.

He hugged her and started right away, as if gnawing on a chicken leg.

After that, she doesn't quite remember what happened, but it was something like that.

Both of them seemed to have gone mad, and when Evelyn thought back on it later, she still felt as if she had been drunk.

Chapter (Extra)

As for Adrian, there's no excuse for his behavior. He wasn't even drunk; he simply took advantage of her and exploited the situation.

Upon recalling his flirtatious nature, it's likely that he's the type who wouldn't refuse. any advances.

How could someone so fickle and casual ever settle down? If she really married him, she wouldn't even know when she might get cheated on. That's why she made up her mind to break up with this man.

As for having children with him, that was even more impossible.

Upon seeing the news and hearing Mina's words, Evelyn had already faintly guessed the

truth.

Mina, filled with anger and regret, said, "I really messed things up for you and Adrian, didn't I? Otherwise, that baby wouldn't be gone, right?"

As a mother, she couldn't be more familiar with her daughter's thoughts.

Evelyn claimed that she had no feelings for Adrian.

In fact, she had unknowingly started to accept him a long time ago.

The two of them have feelings for each other, and after all this time, Adrian truly cares. for her daughter wholeheartedly.

He hardly went out for social gatherings and fun anymore, and as for those messy. rumors, he had completely suppressed them.

He was making an effort to get closer, adopting the demeanor that Evelyn liked, and indeed, he began to win her heart.

Just that night's events were something Evelyn could never accept.

Their relationship could definitely progress further.

If it develops to a certain extent, it's not impossible for it to naturally reach that stage.

But it's definitely not like that.

While Evelyn was drunk, he took advantage of her without seeking her consent, touching her in her intoxicated state. Mina lamented with a heavy heart, "What a pity! I finally had a precious grandson, and now I can't help but kick myself for it!" Suddenly, she thought of something and hurriedly went upstairs to fetch a package.

Immediately, she pulled Evelyn up from the sofa, "Let's go report this right now. That scammer is the one who gave me this medicine. That day, I gave both you and Adrian a portion each. As for the leftovers, we must have them tested. We can't just let this matter go!" She was filled with hatred toward the person who caused the death of her precious daughter's child, wishing they could pay with their life. Moreover, at this point, she didn't even know if her daughter and son-in-law could get back together again.

Evelyn first went to the police station with her mother to file a report, and then she brought some medicine to the station for testing.

The test results came back quickly, and they were not surprising - it was the same kind of medicinal herbs mentioned in the news.

The same case has been reported by many people already.

Some people even went to that fake priest to get medicine, claiming it could protect the fetus, and there were even rumors that it could change a female fetus into a male one. As a result of taking the medication, many experienced varying degrees of pregnancy symptoms.

The most severe case even led to a dangerous miscarriage.

As for those people who were discussing how amazing the priest was while on their way up the mountain to the church, they were also part of the same scam group.

The case has caught the high attention of the Richmond Police Station, where an officer expressed his regret.

"Please rest assured, we will thoroughly investigate this case and deal seriously with every lawbreaker involved. As soon as there are further developments, we will immediately contact both of you."

He looked at Evelyn and said, "Ms. Moore, don't be too upset. The fact that the baby couldn't stay might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Under the circumstances of taking that medication, if the fetus is still present, there

may be issues with various aspects of the fetus's body.

I suggest that you and your husband go to the hospital for further examination to ensure that the medication has not caused any other effects on your bodies."

Upon hearing this, Evelyn's expression stiffened slightly.

After quite a while, she finally came back to her senses and said absentmindedly,

"Alright, thank you, officer."

The police station questioned them to understand the situation, made a record, and

then allowed them to go home and wait for further updates.

Now that the fake priest has been arrested, all the other related lawbreakers have also

been captured.

Coming up next, the police will quickly proceed with gathering further evidence, preparing for the court hearing, and determining the sentence.

The number of victims involved is quite significant, and the impact of the case is

extremely negative.

Without a doubt, the judgment cannot be taken lightly.

A sentence of at least ten years, or even life imprisonment or the death penalty, could be

imposed.

After finishing the report, Evelyn and Mina left the police station together.

Once outside, as they were about to get in the car, Evelyn stopped in her tracks.

Mina turned around strangely and looked at her, "What's wrong? Let's go to the hospital first. Although the baby is gone, you should still follow the police's advice and get a further check-up for your body." She thought of Adrian, who had taken the medicine before, "Adrian should also get checked. Should I contact him, or will you?"

What's going on with this commotion?

Evelyn stood silently for quite a while, feeling that now was not the time to keep hiding

the truth.

Just now, the police said that after taking that kind of medication, there's a high

likelihood that the child conceived could have issues.

She couldn't possibly give birth to a child with issues all by herself in secret.

This is no small matter; I'm afraid I'll have to discuss it with my family first.

She finally spoke up, "Mom, actually, the baby is still there."

Mina's face suddenly froze, but she quickly snapped back to reality. With an expression

of disbelief, she hurriedly walked over to Evelyn.

"What did you say? Is that true or false? You can't just talk nonsense about this matter.

My heart can't take it anymore, you know?"

Evelyn's face turned pale, "It's true... it's still there. I thought Adrian went too far with

what he did. There's no chance for us anymore, but the child... I kind of want to keep it for myself."

Mina was both anxious and excited, reaching out to pat Evelyn a few times, but then, thinking of something, she withdrew her hand. "You, child! How could you hide such a big matter! It's one thing to hide it from others, but you even hid it from your own mother!"

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she was excited or worried, as she paced back. and forth anxiously for several minutes.

Finally, making up her mind, she reached out and held Evelyn's arm, "In that case, let's go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up now and ask the doctor's opinion. We'll discuss further after that, and for now, let's not overthink the other things!"

Evelyn followed Mina and got into the back seat of the car.

Mina urgently instructed the driver in front, "Chad, please drive carefully and head to The People's Hospital now."

She gently patted Evelyn's hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, everything will be fine."

Get Boy

Evelyn nodded, and somehow, her eyes welled up with tears, which suddenly started to

flow down her cheeks.

She didn't even know why she was crying, but in that moment, she just couldn't help it.

Mina gently held her shoulders and said, "Adrian is a good kid, I told you, my judgment is never wrong. And your judgment, that can't be wrong either."

Evelyn's face turned red. "Mom.
