ENCHANTED LOVE, VOLUME 3 - Season 13 Episode 88

‘I deserve this…I tried to set up others but I ended up getting myself into trouble. Now, I can’t ever be a mother. I can’t have children in this lifetime…’

At this thought, Leila felt her heart grow heavier. As she recovered from her grief, she intended to whip harsh remarks at the guy on the phone only to find that he had already escaped the situation and ended the call.

Even when she called the number back, nobody answered the phone.

Suddenly, her pale face was overcome with anger. Her phone made a loud bang when she threw it against the wall. It broke into cracks and crashed onto the ground.

Despite that, she was still too upset. Glancing around the room, she ended up just grabbing a pillow and throwing it at the door.

Suddenly, she heard a knock from the other side.

“Come in!” Leila shouted testily.

It was Cassie. When she heard some shouting coming from the room, her hand which was on the doorknob shook slightly.

Pushing open the door, she stepped inside and subtly surveyed the room. Politely, she said, “Miss Ramirez, it’s time for your regular check-up.”

Still engulfed by anger, she turned around and yelled at the nurse, “What’s wrong with you? Don’t you have anything else to do? Clearly, I’m not sick. I don’t need a stupid check-up.”

Having heard Leila’s conversation over the phone, Cassie wasn’t freaked out by the former’s fiercely rude response. Otherwise, she would probably be shocked and irritated.

While Leila was on the phone, Cassie had been standing just outside the door. Even though she grasped snippets of Leila’s conversation, she had figured out why the patient had gotten ill.

‘It turns out this was all Leila’s doing. She poisoned herself and framed Sheryl. Now, she’s infertile because of the poison. Even if she deeply regrets it, she can’t do anything to change the fact,’ Cassie brooded.

Clearly, Cassie wasn’t fond of Leila. If Nick hadn’t asked her to do him the favor, she wouldn’t have even set foot in the ward.

“Miss Ramirez, please cool down. You should take care of your health for our own sake. Nothing should be more precious to us than having good health. What do you say?” Cassie said with a slight smile.

Her words drew the patient’s attention. Suddenly, Leila raised her head and stared at Cassie, standing there, clad in her nurse uniform.

‘I feel like someone has said those words to me before.

You should take care of your health just for your own sake. Nothing is more precious to us than having good health.

Oh, I remember now. It was the guy I called. He only said that the infertility was a possible side-effect. There is still a chance for me. I need to keep taking good care of my body to get better. I can’t give up, even if the chances are slim.

Besides, there are so many fertility hospitals and specialists out there. I believe I’ll be fine,’ she told herself.

Much relieved, Leila tried to regain her composure until a calm look took over her expression.

“What’s your name?” she asked abruptly, looking up at Cassie. As Cassie replied, she made sure to put on a courteous smile.

“Miss Ramirez, please call me Cassie. Can we start now?”

Internally, she sighed in relief, realizing that Leila was less hostile to her. ‘It’ll be much easier to get some useful information out of her.’

As Cassie began examining Leila, the latter actively followed her instructions—she even asked the nurse some questions about her illness, which Cassie answered, as long as they were within her reach.

Half-way through the examination, Leila began, “Cassie, you must have met many patients. Have you ever met a barren unmarried woman?”

When she heard this, Cassie guessed that Leila’s biggest fear was her infertility.

Without stopping what she was doing, she naturally replied, “Having the baby is a woman’s biggest ordeal. They want to have children even if they’re afraid of the pain during labor. But I’ve met some infertile women and some of them ended up failing to get married due to their infertility. Some who got married ended up getting a divorce. Anyway, it’s pretty much a disaster for those who can’t have children.”

Upon hearing this, Leila started to feel uneasy. ‘I haven’t gotten married yet. All I want is to marry into the Taylor family. I’ve spent so much time and energy on Melissa. If I still can’t marry Charles, I’ll probably break down,’ she mused. “If the couple can’t have the baby, then they could adopt one…

Why would they get a divorce?” Leila asked, trying to sound as casual as she could.

With a shake of her head, Cassie sighed, “The adopted children aren’t related to them, after all. Of course, they want to have their own children. No matter how much you treat them like family, they’re still someone else’s children.”

When she heard that, Leila’s face instantly darkened.

After taking a look at her, Cassie continued, “Miss Ramirez, you’re so beautiful and young. I’m sure that many women are always envious of you. I’m sure you won’t have this problem.”

When Cassie spoke, Leila’s face dimmed even more.

“Oh, Miss Ramirez, I heard that you’re close to Charles’s mother. The Taylor family is one of the most notable families in our city. I have a cousin who wanted to work in Shining Enterprise but failed because of its high demands from its employees. If we knew some superior in that company, my cousin could get a job there.”

What she heard made Leila perky.

“I do know Mrs. Taylor. She treats me like her own daughter. We’re very close,” she smugly responded.

“Is that so? I can’t believe that. I’m so lucky to have met you, Miss Ramirez. It would mean the world if you could do my cousin a favor,” Cassie flattered her with expectant eyes.

“Of course. When I leave, you can always contact me,” Leila agreed without thinking twice.

Hurriedly, Cassie said, “You’re too nice, Miss Ramirez. If you can help my cousin get a position in Shining Enterprise, my family and I will be so grateful to you.”

All of a sudden, a thought came to her. With a hesitant expression, she added, “Oh Miss Ramirez, I wanted to ask you something…but I don’t know if I should say it…”

“Tell me, what do you want to know?” Given what happened, Leila was quick to treat the nurse like her friend.

After getting on alert and glancing around to make sure no one was around, Cassie drew nearer and deliberately whispered, “Miss Ramirez, I heard that you were admitted to the hospital because you were poisoned and that it was Charles’ wife who did this to you. Is that true? How could she do such a horrible thing to you? What an awful woman…”

Of course, the topic interested Leila. If Charles hadn’t asked her to keep this to herself, she would have already told everyone that Sheryl poisoned her.

“You’re right. That woman is cursed. She poisoned me and pushed Charles’ mother down the stairs.

Until now, Mrs. Taylor is stuck in bed,” Leila said with interest. “What?”

Cassie covered her mouth with her hands in shock. “Charles’ wife pushed his mother down the stairs? I never would’ve thought she would do so much wrong.”
