Chapter 804 Caught Buying Medicine
The car pulled up in front of the apartment building, and Juniper suddenly remembered something very important.
She hadn't taken her medication yet.
Frantically calculating the time in her head, it had been almost three days, and the maximum effective period of the medication was 72 hours.
Right now...
Her mind was in chaos.
"Juniper..." Brice wanted to say something, but Juniper wasn't in the mood to listen.
She hurriedly said, "I'm really tired today, let's talk about it tomorrow," and then anxiously got out of the car.
She circled around to the back door of the pharmacy.
She picked up a box of 72-hour emergency contraceptive pills.
Just as she stepped out of the pharmacy, Brice suddenly appeared in front of her, startling Juniper who quickly hid the pills behind her back.
"Juniper, are you feeling unwell?"
"No, no."
"If you're not unwell, why did you go to the pharmacy? What are you hiding behind your back?"
"It's not medication, it's..." Before Juniper could finish, Brice snatched the medication from her hand.
Juniper felt like dying; she was doomed.
Sure enough, the moment Brice saw the box, his face changed dramatically, "You, how could you..."
"I bought it for my girlfriend," Juniper quickly said.
"Didn't your girlfriend already go back home?"
"I'm taking it to her house."
"You're still lying at this point?" Brice was furious, "Is this the secret you've been hiding? Who is that person? Charles?"
"It's not him."
"It is him! He forced you, didn't he? I'm going to kill him!"
"It's really not Charles, I swear," Juniper hurriedly grabbed him, "It's, it's... I don't know."
"That night, my girlfriend and I went out drinking, and I got drunk... I don't know who that man was." She stammered.
"You're still trying to deceive me? You're not that kind of person. If you were, you wouldn't have rejected me so many times."
"You're right, I'm not that kind of person, but I got drunk, and in my confusion... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have drunk."
"Brice, I've always wanted to break up with you, but I didn't know how to say it... I feel so guilty, I'm really sorry..." Juniper was overwhelmed with guilt.
"Sorry? Just a 'sorry' and that's it? While I was waiting for you in the hospital, worrying about you, you were with another man—"
Brice was furious. "I thought you were a good woman, but I didn't expect you to be so casual!"
"I'm really sorry, I didn't want it to happen either, but since it did... I can't face being with you anymore. I let you down, you can scold me, I'm sorry!"
Juniper could only apologize, unable to say anything else.
Her throat felt tight, and she choked up.
Tears welled up in Brice's eyes as he tightly gripped the medication box, deforming it.
He had been wholeheartedly devoted to her, carefully protecting her.
Even though he wanted her desperately, he respected her wishes and controlled himself, but he never expected... she would casually sleep with another man after getting drunk.
How ridiculous he felt.
"Hahaha..." Brice laughed bitterly, "I gave my all, and this is what I get? Are you playing with my feelings?"
"You knew I genuinely wanted to marry you, so why did you do this to me, why!" He yelled at her, "Do you even have a heart?"
Juniper lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Juniper, I misjudged you, I loved the wrong person!"
Brice threw the box away and walked off in large strides.
Juniper, heartbroken, bent down to pick up the medication and swallowed it dry.
She absolutely couldn't get pregnant.
The next day, at MG Real Estate Company.
Jack was in high spirits, looking a bit chubbier.
"You look great," Juniper said with a smile.
"Yeah, after almost a month in the hospital, being fed all kinds of nutritional supplements and not moving much, how could I not be? I've even gained weight, got a double chin now."
"Being a bit chubby is good, it looks prosperous," Juniper chuckled.
"No way, I still need to work out and get my six-pack back."
"You never had a six-pack to begin with."
"Why are you exposing me?"
"I'm just joking."
"Are you getting back at me for making you work so hard alone during this time?" Jack joked.
"Of course, you owe me a big meal."
"No problem. But... you've been busy for over a month, handling the most hectic and tiring times, and now you're handing it over to someone else. They'll get all the credit, including the commission... Are you okay with that?"
Of course, Juniper wasn't okay with it, but to her, money wasn't as important as feelings.
She couldn't shamelessly stay with Brice any longer, and Anthony was also at KD Company. The best solution was to disappear from both of their lives and start anew.
How many times had she talked about starting over, but never really did? This time she thought she could, but it turned out...
'God, are you trying to exhaust me completely?' she thought with a bitter smile.
"I'm fine with it."
"Alright, since you've made your decision, I support you. This is a big project too, and if you do well, the commission won't be small. Go for it. If you can complete this project before the end of the year, I'll promote you."
"You said it, I'll hold you to it."
"When have I ever gone back on my word? Do your best, you're the one I have the most faith in. While I'm still at the company, I want to help you rise, but you need to show results first."
"Yes, I will."
For the next week, Juniper buried herself in work, returning to her previous routine of working late every day, with no men in her life, just work and home.
Everything seemed to be returning to how it was before.
During this week, Anthony hadn't called her. Maybe he didn't care, and they should both forget about it.
That was how adults should handle things, but... she felt a faint, indescribable sense of loss.
As for Brice, she could only hope he would meet the right girl.
That afternoon, while everyone else was waiting to get off work, Juniper was still buried in her work.
"Wow, look, someone's proposing."
"Where, where?" Everyone flocked to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
"That man downstairs, look, he laid out a heart shape with roses and is holding a bouquet. So romantic."
"How do you know it's a proposal? Maybe it's just a confession?"
"I don't think so."
"That man is so handsome, who's the lucky girl?"
"If he proposed to me, I'd say yes immediately."
"In your dreams, he's so handsome, he's definitely pursuing a beautiful woman."
"Are you saying I'm not beautiful?"
"He's a mixed-race hunk, after all."
Hearing this, Juniper's hand trembled. Could it be...
She immediately rushed to the window, and it was indeed Brice.
Everyone was surprised to see her, "Juniper, aren't you usually not interested in gossip?"
"That man is really handsome, isn't he?"
"Juniper likes handsome guys too."
Juniper didn't have time to think and immediately rushed downstairs.
