Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 43

Early in the morning, Joye drove to Leonard Group. Sitting in the passenger seat, Janina smiled with satisfaction. "I suddenly feel as though I am satisfied with my new job. There’s a place for me to live, free food, and my boss picks me up. It can't get better than this.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Joye stepped on the break. Janina's face turned pale in an instant, she turned her head to look at Joye with fear in her eyes.

"Sorry. I was a little dizzy just now."

Joye quickly released the brake, her expression was still pale. She stopped the car abruptly because her sight was growing hazy as well as her consciousness for that brief moment. She had almost forgotten Janina was sitting next to her.

"Stop by the side and let me rest for a while."

Janina pointed to the side of the road. Joye quickly pulled over and watched as Janina threw up. She regretted stepping on the brake so hard just now.

"Janina, are you feeling better? Sorry. I didn't mean it."

After emptying her stomach, Janina raised her head. She managed to smile at Joye. “I’m fine. I just need some time to recover.”

"I'll get you some water to rinse your mouth."

Joye turned around and walked to the trunk. She felt dizzy again. Fortunately, she held the lid of the trunk and did not fall. Although Janina was still unwell, she was worried about Joey. “Are you okay?”

"I'm fine. Maybe I didn’t rest enough recently. I'll be fine after a good sleep tonight."

Joye shook her head and felt much better. She took the water and handed it to Janina. Seeing color returning to Janina's face, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'll get a driver over to drive us." She was not suited to drive in her condition, and neither was Janina.

After making an appointment with the designated driver from the app, they continued to make their way to the office.

"President, I have informed all the departments about the meeting at 10 o'clock this morning. You will have a new product meeting this afternoon, and President Lee of Packard Bank wants to have a dinner appointment with you tonight."

As soon as Joye entered the office, Linda roughly told her about the plans for the day. When she saw Joye, she frowned for a moment and said, “You don’t look well.”

"Refuse the appointment with President Lee. If the meeting is not urgent, push it to another day too. Joye was dizzy on the way here.”

Janina had recovered, and there was no trace of pain and paleness on her face like before. On the contrary, Joye looked terrible.

"Don't mind her nonsense. I'm fine, so just go with the scheduled ap”

As soon as Joye finished speaking, her stomach suddenly churned. Almost instinctively, she covered her mouth and rushed straight into the bathroom. Janina and Linda hurriedly followed in. Seeing that she was continuously retching, they were deeply concerned.

"Oh my god, it’s not that, is it?"

Joye understood the meaning of Janina's words. She was shocked, but she discounted the possibility. She and Shawn had been married for more than three years. He had never left his seed in her body. How could she be pregnant?

Linda was also worried. "You should go for a check-up at the hospital. Just to be safe."

"I'm fine. I'm just exhausted. Please head out first, and let me have a rest.”

Joye's stomach was no longer uncomfortable. She stood up and rinsed her mouth.

"Well, if you are still unwell, you must tell me."

Janina left uneasily. Before leaving, she asked Linda to inform her if anything happened.

"President, about today's arrangement..."

"As usual."

"Okay, I'll go and prepare for the meeting."

Linda nodded and went out of the office. Joye came out of the bathroom, feeling weak. She lay down on the sofa.

When she was at the hotel the last time, Yelena had accused Joye of being barren. How could she be pregnant?

She thought that she would be well after a few days of rest. But a few days had gone by, yet her condition had not improved. Instead, it had gotten much worse.

"That's it. You've been like this for a good few days. You have to go to the hospital. I know how much work means to you, but your life is more important than your work."

Displeased, Janina dragged Joye out of the Leonard Group. Joye had no choice but to listen to her and got into the taxi. “I’m just tired. It’s nothing else.”

"Let the examination results make sure of that.”

Janina rolled her eyes and smiled at the driver. “Please send us to the hospital.”

Soon, the taxi arrived at the hospital. There were not many people around. Watching her blood being taken and transmitted into a bag, Joye felt dizzy again. She couldn't help but feel worried that she would be diagnosed with cancer like in the TV shows.

"The result will be released in thirty minutes.” After saying that, the nurse continued taking blood from the next patient emotionlessly.

Thirty minutes felt particularly long. Joye looked at the report nervously, and her face suddenly changed.

"What's wrong? What did it say?"

Janina looked at the report from the side and her gaze widened. Joye was pregnant with that scumbag’s baby!

"Impossible! This is impossible!"

Joye was stunned as if she was struck by lightning. He would always pull out every time they had sex, and he specifically told her that she didn't deserve to carry his child.

It must be wrong! The result must be wrong!

"Don't panic. Let's ask the doctor about it."

Afraid that something would happen to Joye from her surging emotions, Janina comforted her. She handed the result to the female doctor who gave them the results. The doctor looked at them then adjusted her glasses, saying, "You are pregnant."

"I'm not pregnant!"

Unable to accept such an answer, Joye stood up abruptly, slamming the table with her hands, her voice quivering.

The female doctor was shocked. She pursed her lips a few times to calm herself down. "The results can't be wrong. You are around one month pregnant now. Since it's different for everyone, you'll only know the specific weeks by getting a B-scan."

One month?

Joye felt her head getting heavier. Her mind cleared up, and she remembered the time Shawn took her in the bathroom.

Reminded of her wound, she felt her legs go weak. Luckily, Janina supported her so that she didn't fall to the ground. Was Shawn crazy?

“Joye, don't think too much about it. It doesn't mean anything." Janina was also shocked by the sudden outburst of emotions and tried to comfort Joye.

“It doesn’t mean anything?”

Joye's gaze was blurring, and her expression was ugly. How could it not mean anything when she had a new life inside of her?

There were still three days left until the one-month deadline! She was about to cut all ties with Shawn and had nothing to do with him. But how could she leave the relationship she dreaded when a child was tying them together?

"If you don't want this child, you can get rid of it while it's still early. It would hurt less.”

The doctor's advice made Joye's lips tremble. She was so frustrated that she couldn't decide if she wanted to keep the child or not.
