Chapter 1171
After finding out that Johanna was pregnant, Loraine helped her into the car carefully. Loraine was afraid that the
younger woman would injure herself. When they arrived home, she also refused to leave Johanna unsupervised.
Her actions rendered Johanna speechless. “You don't have to worry so much. I can navigate my way at home just
fine.”
“We need to take extra care as the child's development isn't stable in its first three months,” Loraine said as she
helped Johanna into the living room. She prepared some peaches and carried them over before continuing, “Should
we give Mr. Timothy a call and inform him of the news?”
“No. I'll tell him myself when he returns.” It wasn't as if it was Johanna's first time being pregnant. Besides, she did
not want to interfere with Timothy's work.
Loraine merely hummed in response before hurrying off to prepare food that was good for pregnant women.
Asel, who had gone on an outing with her nanny, came back around ten o'clock in the morning. Holding a bright

Asel jumped into Johanna's arms the moment she spotted her mother.
Johanna propped the little girl onto her lap. Although she could not see Asel, she knew that the pretty little girl had
chubby pinchable cheeks.
Johanna teased, “Asel, you're going to have a little sister.”
Although Asel could not understand the words spoken by Johanna, she flailed her arms happily. “Balloon... Mandy...”
Asel was smarter than an ordinary child. Moreover, her nanny would occasionally teach her new words.
Hence, she could already utter many words even though she wasn't even a year old.
Johanna knew that Asel wanted to give her balloon to Amanda. Lowering her head, she planted a kiss on the little
girl's face. “When Daddy comes back, we'll go see Lucian and Amanda together, okay?”
"Okay!” Asel giggled.
Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, but Johanna felt slightly sluggish. She felt very sleepy after playing with
Asel for a bit after lunch.
She lay on the couch and napped for some time. Since she could not see, her hearing was unusually sharp. When
she woke up, she could hear another person breathing next to her.
Johanna felt relieved after detecting the familiar scent. She reached a hand toward the man.
“When did you return?”
“I just got back.” Timothy helped Johanna up and sat down beside her. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat
something?”
Johanna shook her head. “I ate a lot earlier in the afternoon. Could you get me a glass of water?”
Timothy grabbed the glass pitcher from the coffee table and poured Johanna a glass of warm water.
He asked curiously, “Loraine appeared to be incredibly excited when I came back. She told me you had news to
share. What is it?”
Johanna continued to sip from her glass leisurely.
It wasn't until Timothy asked a second time did she break into a laugh. She guided his hand and placed it over her
stomach.

“Really?” Timothy asked excitedly. He caressed Johanna's belly through her sweater. “Have you gotten a checkup at
the hospital?”
Johanna smiled. “How else would I have known that I was pregnant if I didn't go to the hospital? I'm about nine
weeks in. The doctor said that the baby is developing well.” Johanna grabbed the pregnancy report she had placed
under the cushion and passed it to Timothy. “However, the doctor did not tell me if the baby is a boy or girl.”
Timothy's eyes grew soft as he stared at the baby's tiny limbs on the ultrasound scan.
He kissed Johanna's face and held her in his embrace. “It doesn't matter if the baby is a boy or girl; I will still love
them. I'll also continue searching for an eye specialist. There must be a doctor who can cure your eyes.”
Johanna hummed in response and hugged Timothy back.
Before this, she did not care if she could see as long as she had Timothy and Asel by her side. However, she now
wanted to regain her eyesight as soon as possible so that she could see the birth of her child.
“I haven't had a chance to contact Genev since I got back. Could you give her a call? Since it's New Year, I would
like to visit her. Asel wants to play with Amanda too.”
Timothy's expression turned gloomy when he heard Johanna's words.
