Dumped My Cheating Ex. Now I'm Sleeping Next to a Billionaire CEO novel Chapter 1763

By the time Sylvia finally finished reviewing and signing the last document, the clock had already struck ten. Even though she had grabbed a bite earlier, Steve could not bear the thought of her going hungry. He insisted on driving her to a high-end, twenty-four-hour private restaurant, forcing her to drink a large bowl of nourishing hot soup. It was well past eleven by the time they finally returned to their villa.

Steve went to the bathroom to shower. Sylvia sat down at her vanity, pulled open the bottom drawer, and took out a white pill bottle. It contained the antidepressants she had been taking. Tapping two pills into her palm, she stared at them for a long time. Over the splashing of the shower from the bathroom, her gaze gradually grew resolute.

She figured that with Steve constantly by her side lately, she was feeling so much better. Her emotions were stable, and she had not suffered a single depressive episode. Since fate had handed her this child, and since she could not bring herself to get rid of it... she was going to keep the baby. All medicines came with side effects, especially psychiatric drugs, which could cause immeasurable harm to the fetus. For the baby's sake, she simply could not keep taking them.

Flicking her wrist, Sylvia dropped the pills back into the bottle and shoved it deep into the back of the drawer. In doing so, she completely ignored her psychiatrist's repeated warnings to take her medication on time, attend regular check-ups, and absolutely never stop her medication abruptly, lest the rebound effect cause unimaginable consequences.

A little while later, the water stopped running. Steve walked out with just a towel wrapped around his waist, his skin slick with steam. Toweling off his damp hair, he sat on the edge of the bed and locked his gaze on Sylvia. For the past two days, he had been waiting for her to bring up the news herself. But as she finished washing up and slipped under the covers without a single word, he finally lost his patience. Tossing the towel aside, he leaned in close. "Sylvia, is there something you want to tell me?"

Sylvia glanced up, colliding straight into his deep, bottomless eyes. Her heart skipped a frantic beat. She remained silent for a good ten seconds before finally mustering the courage to speak. "Do you... remember that time in the bathroom about two months ago?"
