Since it wasn’t healthy to conceive all three Embryos, the couple decided to only take a single female and reduce the number of twins. During her pregnancy, she meets Grace and Corgan, who are also expecting the child. Things look good for the time however, it’s just the beginning of Lucy’s nightmare. During the reduction of Lucy’s embroys, Lucy faints and starts bleeding. Even though Hindle says it’s nothing major but Lucy feels something is off.

What is Relationship Between Adrian and Hindle?

Lucy starts seeing Adrian and Hindle having sex in her dreams. She feels like there’s something more to their relationship. When Adrian gives Hindle an award for what he has done, she becomes even more suspicious. Even the advice from Corgan doesn’t help her as she becomes warier. Her abdominal pain keeps getting worse but Hindle is still not much concerned. He just gives her the medication and assures them it will be better after a while.

What Was in the File?
