Chapter 137 Morning–After Pills
Emma tried to coax Aella.
“Mrs. Winter, take a bath first. I’ll tidy up in here.

“Mrs. Winter, no matter how angry you are, don’t punish yourself for someone else’s mistakes.”
Aella forced a blink.
Emma helped her out of bed; Aella’s legs trembled.
She lay in the tub for a long time.
It was the first time Tyrone had forced her.
He was relentless. Even when she cried and begged, he didn’t stop–like she’d committed some unforgivable crime.
When Emma finished cleaning the room and changing the sheets, she came to help Aella dress -and froze at the “marks” on Aella’s skin.
Once everything was in order, Aella lay back down. “Emma, please buy me a box of emergency contraception.”
Emma hesitated. “What if Mr. Tyrone finds out … ?”
Aella told her Tyrone didn’t want a child and had reminded her to take it before he left. Only then did Emma dare go.
After Aella took the pill, sleep dragged her under.
Emma stood outside the bedroom door and didn’t leave for a second.
Tyrone didn’t come back that night.
At first light the next morning, he returned.
Emma hurried to meet him. “Mr. Tyrone, you’re finally back.”
Tyrone glanced toward the main bedroom, worry obvious in his eyes. “… Is she any better?”
Emma sighed. “Since yesterday noon, apart from taking the pill, Mrs. Winter hasn’t had a drop to drink.”

His brow slashed tight. “Pill?”
Seeing his face change, Emma ventured carefully. “Mr. Tyrone, didn’t you remind Mrs. Winter to take the morning–after pill?”
His hands at his sides clenched. “It’s fine here. You can go.”
Emma hesitated. “I’m only a servant, but I watched you and Mrs. Winter grow up. Those pills are hard on the body. She’s young, but not made of iron.”
She added, “The grits I made are in the dining room. Please persuade her to eat a little.”
After she left, Tyrone stood there, eyes shut against the fatigue.
She had always loved children.
After they married, because she wanted a baby, she’d tried to push it.
He’d once worried she was too young, too carefree, and made her take the pill.
Since then, every time he touched her, he handled the contraception himself.
