My voice was calm and firm, without a trace of wavering.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Linda's face. She seemed not to have expected that I would refuse so directly.
"Mandy, don't refuse so quickly. At least meet him and get to know him better. Maybe you'll get a surprise."
I could almost imagine Linda's plan. She was just trying to get me to marry Toby. Then she would give birth to a son and I would give birth to a daughter. She wanted me to experience the feeling of being ignored by Susan.
I found an excuse to go to the bathroom, and when I came back, she was still trying to persuade me earnestly.
After I refused many times, she saw my firm attitude and had to give up.
However, just when I let my guard down, I suddenly felt dizzy and everything in front of me started to become blurry.
"Linda, why I..."
Before I could finish my words, I felt a strong sense of dizziness. My consciousness gradually became blurred, and finally I was quite unconscious.
