Chapter 1008
Back when she was in the art gallery's bathroom, she discovered that there were paparazzi outside, seemingly chasing
after a well-known painter.
After seeing her, the paparazzi gave up chasing the painter and came for her instead.
Joanne managed to shake them off after hiding in the bathroom for a long time, but as she did, she heard the paparazzi
talking about Edwin.
Apparently, someone photographed him entering the hospital in the middle of the night, and that hospital happened to
be the private hospital where Catelyn had her prenatal checkup.
Joanne inquired about the ward number at the registration desk, took the elevator, and arrived at a ward.
It was after-work hours, so the floor of the hospital was rather vacant.

walking inside.
Joanne perked up and listened into what was in the ward, and she heard a woman's voice.
"Eddy, thank you for helping me last night. If you hadn't intercepted that blow for me, I'd be the one lying in the
hospital now, and they’d even..." The woman suddenly choked up and sobbed.
Edwin raised his eyebrows casually and said, "The bar you went to was an entertainment industry under my
protection. I saved you only because I didn't want anyone to cause trouble in my territory."
'I know your bark is worse than your bite..." The woman's voice became softer. She looked at Edwin affectionately
as if she was his lover.
From Joanne's angle, she could only see the woman's side profile.
She was sexy in a completely different style from hers. She was wearing a low-cut shirt, her coat was wide open,
and there was faintly jasmine perfume in the air.
"Wait a minute, don't move. The gauze on your head is about to loosen." As
Noah spoke, she leaned down slowly, holding Edwin's head gently with both hands.
Since Noah moved to another place, Joanne could not see her anymore, and she became even more suspicious.
'This has to be Noah, right?'
It was also because of her that Edwin left in a hurry last night.
Joanne scratched her head and cheeks, trying to see Noah's face properly, but she was too anxious and did not
stand firmly on her feet.
As a result, she accidentally knocked open the door...and fell forward in embarrassment.
The creaking door attracted the attention of the two people inside the ward. Edwin and Noah turned their heads to
look at Joanne and saw her leaning on a table by the entrance.

"Joanne?" called out Edwin, surprised. "What are you doing at the door?"
'Could she be eavesdropping?’ he thought.
Joanne straightened herself and raised her head, but she was dumbfounded when she saw that Noah's chest was just
above Edwin's chin.
If she had not broken in suddenly to interrupt, Noah would have bandaged the gauze on Edwin's forehead.
Gulping and staggering, she awkwardly greeted, "Hi!"
"Did you fall?" When Edwin saw that there was no one behind her, her face was ashen.
He could tell that this was her guilty expression. Joanne must have done something unlawful.
Joanne quickly shook her head, her eyes looking at Noah curiously.
Just as she thought, it completely conformed to Edwin's aesthetic preference for a perfect girlfriend: the standard model
face, with majestic but glamorous facial features.
As Noah's gaze met Joanne's, she smiled and introduced herself. "Hello, my name is Noah Sinclair. I'm-'
"She is my classmate from abroad," interjected Edwin, who was at Noah's bedside, before she could finish. "She just
came back to America for career development and is planning to apply for Eclipse."
