Chasing After My Beloved Wife novel Chapter 60

"Don't be afraid, I-I'll drive!”

Janina threw her mobile phone into the bag. Her expression was terrible. She prayed that everything would be okay.

After being helped into the car, Joye looked at Janina, who was sweating. Janina held her trembling hand and said, "Janina, don't drive. I can wait for a taxi."

"We can’t wait. There are too many cars going to work now. The baby is more important.”

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She pursed her dry lips and deliberately smiled. "Joye, little baby, trust me for the sake of you and our child!"

The corners of Joye's mouth moved, and she nodded with distress. Since what had happened five years ago, Janina had never dared to drive. That day was going to be difficult for her.

The car started slowly, and Janina didn't even dare to blink her eyes. She had a driver's license, but she was more afraid than a rookie. The ten-minute drive took fifteen minutes. When the car arrived at the hospital gate, she was drenched in a cold sweat.

Joye stretched out her cold head and touched her belly. She lay on the bed with her hair stuck to her cheek. "Doctor, is something wrong with my child?"

"Miss Leonard, your pain is not from your pregnancy, but because of acute appendicitis." The doctor pressed her belly, and Joye was in pain again.

"Doctor, are you sure that it’s only appendicitis?”

Janina shook out of the fear she had from driving. When she heard that Joye had appendicitis, she felt relieved.

"From the looks of it, it’s appendicitis. You must have been stressed out recently and have not been eating well. That is what caused it. Even though you’re pregnant, we can still do the surgery.”

"Surgery?"

Imagining herself on the operating table, Joye became worried. “Will it affect the baby?”

Seeing her nervous expression, the doctor shook his head and said, “Don’t worry, it’s just a small surgery. You will be anesthetized, so it won’t affect the baby. You must eat healthily after the operation. Everything will be fine.”

Hearing the doctor's words, she was relieved. "Can I undergo the operation now?”

"That should be fine."

"Then please arrange it for me."

Janina paid the deposit for the operation, but there was still some worry in her eyes. "Do you really need this operation?"

Joye nodded. She might be able to relieve the pain by taking medicine, but her baby was growing. If it kept on hurting, it would affect the baby.

"Well, I'll wait for you outside the operating room later. Don't be afraid."

Janina was afraid, but she had to comfort Joye. Joye said to her baby, “You must be safe, okay?”

The Richard Group.

Shawn lowered his head and read through the documents sent by his secretary. Salmon stood at the side, contemplating whether he should report the information he had just received.

"What are you trying to say?"

"Boss, the person who was keeping an eye on Joye sent a message saying that she went to the hospital early in the morning."

Shawn was signing halfway when he stopped. He furrowed his brows but did not raise his head. “She can do whatever she wants. They don’t have to follow her anymore.”

If she didn't want that child, even if he could stop her this time, he could not keep an eye on her forever.

"Yes."

Salmon replied, but his expression became more complicated. The boss clearly cared about Joye and the child in her belly, but he pretended not to care. But on second thought, if Joye truly didn't want the child, it might be a good thing.

Miss Hilary, Mr. Shawn, Joye, and the baby in her womb had to be put aside.

Shawn squeezed the pen tightly and wanted to continue to sign his name, but his fingers were stiff. He raised his head and suppressed the irritation in his eyes. "Go back to work first."

"Okay."

He was the only one left in the office. He threw the pen aside. His expression was stiff, and there was irritation in his eyes.

Did Joye go to the hospital because she was unwell or because she wanted to get rid of the child?

The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became. He pulled out a few sheets of paper from the top of the drawer beside him. The divorce agreement on the cover made his breathing more rapid.

He signed this divorce agreement, but he did not go to the notary. He didn’t even know why.

His cell phone rang, and his anger subsided. He put the agreement back into the drawer and answered the phone.

"Shawn, have I disturbed your work? Can I take Jasper to have lunch with you today? He said that he wants to eat with you.”

Vivian spoke gently. Shawn's eyes became colder, but he didn't refuse. "I'll ask Salmon to pick you up later."

"Great, you go ahead with your work."

Vivian smiled and hung up the phone. She looked at the clock with a strange smile.

Joye, I don't need to deal with the baby in your belly. Someone will help me. What I have to do is to rub salt into your wound.

The Richard family's home.

Usually, Xaria would wander in the living room when she had nothing to do, but that day, she stayed in her room and didn't come out. When her mobile phone rang with a notification, her body immediately trembled.

"I don't want to go against my grandson, but Joye can't bear this child. Otherwise, everything from the Richard family will become hers."

"Dear, what are you ranting about in the room?" Maisie pushed the door open and came in, frightening her.

"What did I say? What are you doing here? Get out. I want to nap.”

After pushing Maisie out of the bedroom, Xaria patted her rapidly beating chest. She forced herself to calm down. She was going to be the female head of the Richard family. All she had to do was deal with a child, and yet she was so worried.

Her phone beeped twice and she quickly opened it to check. She smiled happily.

Very good. As long as Joye lost her baby, everything would be fine.

In the hospital, after waiting for a long time, Joye finally arrived in the operating theatre. She changed into surgical clothes and lay nervously on the operating bed.

"Doctor, please don’t hurt my baby.”

The doctor, who had a mask on, nodded with a smile. "Don't worry, it's just a minor operation."

"Yes."
