Joseph's body was slightly stiff. He looked shocked and did not know she had done it. How is it possible?
"When the baby had gone, I did. A birth control injection was used." At that time, she wanted to escape Joseph because of sadness and despair, but more of her own incompetence. She was not sure whether Joseph would understand. In case he would not let her go and she got pregnant again, she begged the doctor to give her contraceptive pills to avoid conceiving.
The doctor did not agree at that time. She had just finished the operation, so how could she allow her to take an injectable contraceptive? But Irish tried everything. She forced the doctor until finally, the doctor yielded and gave her an injection.
So, she didn't lie to Joseph at all when she told him she had been using contraception, which was true.
