1994 (#23) - The night with Malcolm and the discovery of Drucilla's pregnancy

In spite of Neil's initial perplexity in accepting to put behind him the antipathy and the bad judgments he has towards his brother Malcolm, very soon every problem and conflict is overcome; and this, as we have said, also thanks to Drucilla's precious intermediation between the two brothers. However, this relationship would undoubtedly and irreparably be compromised if Neil were to discover what is about to happen when he is forced to leave on a business trip. First of all, it must be said that Malcolm, from the first moment he saw Drucilla, who has always fought for him in an attempt to convince Neil to give him a second chance, has developed a deep friendship and understanding with the woman, to the point of falling madly in love with her. Malcolm keeps his feelings to himself, not wanting to interfere with his brother's marriage. However, when Neil goes away on a business trip, Malcolm goes to see Drucilla, who welcomes him home with a very sensual attitude. In reality, Drucilla, who is ill and therefore delirious and confused because of her drug abuse, mistakes Neil for Malcolm, who doesn't realize that the woman's advances are not really meant for him. Unable to resist the woman, Malcolm ends up making love to Drucilla, who only realizes the following morning the incredible mistake she made. Distraught, Drucilla chases Malcolm away, who, mortified, justifies himself by thinking that she was well aware of what she was doing the night before. Desperate, Drucilla and Malcolm eventually decide to put this episode behind them and continue their lives as if nothing ever happened. However, the woman is devastated when she realizes that she is pregnant and doesn't know who the father of the baby is.
