Chapter 999
Edwin did not return all night.
Joanne suffered from a severe lack of sleep and woke up with two big dark circles under her eyes the next morning.
Her eyes were closed when she went down for her breakfast.
'Joanne, I heard from Kelly that Eddy came back angrily last night. Did you both argue? Is that why you couldn't sleep?"
asked Old Madam Atherton with concern.
"Ah?" Joanne's eyes widened in shock. She shook her head repeatedly.' No, no! We didn't quarrel, but I had a
nightmare..."
"Look at your dark circles... Get some more sleep after dinner. Don't tire yourself out," said the old lady.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Okay. Thank you, Grandma." Joanne nodded.
Old Madam Atherton admired Joanne's simple temperament.
She had seen a lot of women with bad intentions in her life. Joanne's character was something very pleasing to her.
Catelyn was the calmest among the people present, as she knew what had happened in the room between Edwin
and Joanne.
From the outside, Joanne was a pregnant woman, and Edwin could not touch her. However, Catelyn knew very well
that it was a lie.
In fact, she and Edwin were busy making babies!
Later in the afternoon, Joanne accompanied Catelyn to a private hospital for her regular pregnancy check-ups. The
Atherton household was not equipped with advanced medical items. Therefore, they had to go to the hospital.
"We must be quick! If someone sees US here, we will be in trouble," said Joanne as she tugged Catelyn's hand,
looking very vigilant.
They both wore sunglasses, masks, and long hooded coats.
"Don't you think it's more eye-catching when we dress like this?" asked Catelyn.
Joanne had been a celebrity for a long time, and she was used to concealing herself in this kind of outfit. ' Anyway,
we can take the elevator directly to the gynecological department," she said.
The two entered the elevator. In the closed space, Catelyn stroked her lower abdomen.
She hoped the baby was in a healthy state...
On the seventh floor, in the corridor of a certain department, a doctor was reporting to Cedrick.
He glanced past the doctor and looked at Edwin in the room. He was seen leaning on the sofa lazily with gauze

’How is he?" asked Cedrick
"It's just a minor skin injury, nothing much to worry about. He should have more rest. Try to quit smoking and drinking,
especially," said the doctor.
"Okay, I'll tell him." Cedrick nodded slightly.
Apparently, Edwin had a fight with someone in a bar last night. With his brute strength, he would usually win in a
fistfight. However, his opponent played a dirty trick and punctured the tire of his car.
Afraid that Old Madam Atherton might be worried about him, Edwin chose not to go home for the night.
When Cedrick arrived to see him in the hospital during the afternoon, seeing that Edwin was awake, he asked, ’What
happened to that woman last night?’
Edwin remembered that Noah was drunk and surrounded by a few hooligans last night and went to save her by himself.
"What do you mean?" he asked knowingly.
"Stop pretending. I've asked the bar owner. The woman had been shouting your name non-stop while being drunk," said
Cedrick.
