Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Bai Lulu

After Joanne White found out she was pregnant again, her anxiety grew day by day.

Seeing her in this state, Zane Simmons, perhaps out of pity or as compensation for separating her from their first child, finally agreed a few days ago to let Joanne White’s mother move in to keep her company.

Mrs. White quickly hugged Joanne White, gently comforting her. "Oh, honey, you’re pregnant," she murmured. "Crying like this is bad for you. Please, stop crying. Rest assured, no matter what happens, Mom is right here by your side..."

Seeing Joanne White in this state broke Mrs. White’s heart.

Especially after learning about Zara Walsh.

Mr. and Mrs. White had only one daughter, Joanne White, whom they had doted on since childhood. She was an art major, which was incredibly expensive, but they had gritted their teeth and put her through one of the country’s top universities.

However, after the disaster struck, Mr. and Mrs. White had turned a blind eye to Joanne White becoming someone’s mistress in order to ensure the family’s security.

But Zane Simmons and Joanne White were around the same age, and he was single. So, they could fool themselves into believing their daughter was simply dating him and that they would eventually get married.

But if Zane Simmons really married that Miss Walsh, once he had a wife, the very nature of the situation would be completely different...

Mr. and Mrs. White would no longer be able to lie to themselves.

Thinking of the hardships her daughter had endured, Mrs. White gritted her teeth and said, "...Joanne, if it really comes to it, you should just get an abortion. Pregnancy is too dangerous for you in your current condition. Even if... even if you and Mr. Simmons break up, your father and I have saved some money. It’s enough for us to live on for a while."

Joanne White’s heart was torn by her mother’s words, but after a moment’s thought, she shook her head.

Joanne White struggled to speak. "Mom, we don’t know when this disaster will end... Prices will only get higher, and medical resources will become even scarcer..."

If she left Zane Simmons, Joanne White had no idea what she would do if her father’s heart condition were to relapse!

At this thought, Joanne White gritted her teeth and continued, "Mom, as long as Zane Simmons doesn’t marry Miss Walsh, I still have a chance..."

Joanne White hadn’t wanted to tell her parents about Zara Walsh.

She had never dared to mention these things, not wanting to worry them.

As the saying goes, you don’t appreciate your parents until you become one yourself. Ever since having her own child, Joanne White had increasingly understood the hardships her parents faced and was even more reluctant to worry them.

But now Zara Walsh had shown up several times, growing more aggressive with each visit, and Joanne White just couldn’t handle it anymore.

Mrs. White sighed. She patted Joanne White’s back soothingly, then leaned in and whispered mysteriously, "Don’t be afraid, my dear. I’ll go find Mr. Caelus and get a peace charm for you. Everyone says his charms are very powerful. It’s sure to protect you and guarantee a safe delivery!"

Joanne White frowned. ’A charm?’

’Surely my mother hasn’t been tricked by The Cult?’

Just as Joanne White was about to ask for more details, the door was suddenly pushed open.

The maid who entered said to them, "Miss White, Mrs. White, staff from the community’s emergency office are conducting a household survey. They’re already downstairs. Could you both please come down?"

Mrs. White was taken aback. "A household survey? Why, all of a sudden?"

The maid suppressed her impatience and replied quickly, "I’m not sure. You two should just get ready and come downstairs as soon as you can."

With that, she turned and left.

Feeling they had no choice, Mrs. White and Joanne White quickly straightened their clothes and went downstairs.

In the villa’s main hall, the servants and bodyguards were gathered together while four members of the emergency office staff verified their identities one by one.

While checking his list, one of the officials asked, "Is all the hired staff in the villa present? The numbers don’t match our database... you’re short two people... Can you tell me where they are?"

A bodyguard immediately answered, "The two missing people are a married couple. They worked here as a driver and a maid, but they quit two days ago and have already left the community."
