Erica felt like crying when she looked at the number on weighing scale and then at Matthew's eight pack abs. "Matthew, we agreed to eat together to gain weight. What's your secret? How is it that you've lost weight?" 'But I've gained five kilograms more!' she thought sadly.

The man's face remained unchanged. "There is no secret. I just make sure to exercise every morning and go to the gym regularly. I have never done anything else to lose weight."

Erica was speechless. The secret to keeping a healthy and fit body was to exercise a little bit in the morning and to maintain a regular gym life.

Forcing the words through gritted teeth, Erica said, "Just wait. I'll do morning exercises with you every day from now on. I'll be as lean as I was before!"

Matthew held her in his arms and comforted her, "Well, honey, you don't look that fat. You've just gained a little weight. Besides, it's easier to hold you now."

Erica wasn't going to fall for his sweet words!

What if he was just trying to make her fat and ugly because he wanted to have a beautiful girl on the side?

Erica was determined—the excess weight had to go, by hook or by crook.

After breakfast, Erica dropped her sons off to the kindergarten and her husband to the company, before heading to the hospital.

After a thorough examination in the gynecology and obstetrics department, the doctor finally told her, "Your body is fit to have a baby now. You can eat some folic acid supplements when you go back home. Try not to stay up late..."

Erica responded to the doctor's suggestions with a respectful smile. "Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome. Besides, you were pregnant with quadruplets before. You must be careful this time. You should stay in bed and get as much rest as you can get, just in case if you get pregnant with more than one baby again."

Erica replied, "I understand. I don't think I will be pregnant with multiple babies again, but thank you for your concern." She would strangle Matthew to death if she were pregnant with a set of twins or more.

After the doctor's appointment, Erica left the hospital in a good mood. When she came across a big pharmacy just across the street, Erica wondered if she should pick up some folic acid supplements.

When she walked past the traffic light intersection, she unsuspectingly glanced at a car with the window half open, revealing the face of Michel.

The moment her eyes caught sight of him, the smile on her face transformed into a frown and she quickly hid herself before he could notice her. She turned around, waiting for his car to pass by before she hail

e in the sky.

Frightened, Erica quickly downloaded the video she had just recorded into her mobile phone and then ran away with the remote control. In fact, she didn't really have a need for the drone anymore.

By the time the security guards came to Erica's location, she was already long gone.

In the Parasol Resort, Michel stared at the drone in his hand and asked someone to pull out the memory card and connect it to the computer.

Unfortunately, there was nothing on it.

"Go and find the owner of this drone," he ordered calmly. The drone was brand new and relatively expensive. Only a handful of people in the city could afford such a drone. As such, it wouldn't be difficult to find the owner.

Michel's subordinates took the drone and left to fulfill their boss's command.

They had already found a scapegoat to pin the death of Noreen on. This man was a nobody, who claimed that he had killed her because he was too envious of her fame, even though he didn't have any connections with Noreen prior to the incident.

This was the explanation provided for the public, but Matthew didn't believe a word of it.

The discovery of the drone led Michel to believe that the Parasol Resort was no longer the safe haven he thought it was.

Three of Michel's bodyguards took the drone and drove towards downtown. However, when they reached a corner halfway, they were intercepted by a woman.

The woman was a pitiful sight to see, face covered in grime and clothes barely hanging on to her shoulders. She limped to the driver's window and asked, "Sir, I haven't eaten for three days. Can you spare some money for a meal?"

The three men in the car were annoyed by the woman and the driver pushed her hand away. "Go away!"
