Joan had accompanied Linda to buy her myna. Before she went to prison, the bird finally learned how to say her name.
After three years, even the myna didn't recognize her. The name "Joan" had been deleted from its brain.
"Is it so easy to forget the past?" She gently caressed the bird's mouth and gave it the sunflower seeds on her palm.
"Joan, I'm back!"
From the hallway came the voice of Linda. Joan quickly put on her slippers and walked towards the hallway.
"What did he say?" Although Joan showed a sign of indifference on her face, she was really looking forward to the answer. Is Darren so indifferent that he didn't care about the resignation at all? Or did he feel sorry for her?
Linda poked her nose and said, "You're too stubborn. You always think too much. Everyone has a past. But I think Mr. Lu is really nervous about you. You don't know how nervous he was when I looked at his eyes when I lied!"
She led Joan to the sofa and sat down. "He really wants to know where you are. Perhaps he really wants to have a talk with you. Why do you refuse to see him? Maybe you should meet each other in the future. Just let it go. If he doesn't like you, why does he have a straight face when he received the resignation letter?"
She thought to herself, 'He really didn't want me to resign, neither did I.' Suddenly, a feeling of nausea surged in her stomach. It's probably because that she hasn't eaten well these days which hurt her stomach. In recent days, no matter what food Linda bought, she always have no appetite.
She felt better after spitting out the acid saliva in the bathroom.
"Are you all right, Joan? Why have you been like this all the time? Are you having a stomachache because you haven't eaten well recently?"
"No, I'm good. Don't worry about me..."
She had been trying very hard to control herself. However, the strange feeling in her stomach was so strong that she had to swallow saliva to prevent the sour water in her stomach, which was in vain in the end.
"No way!" Linda stood up, grabbed some of her clothes, and put them on Joan's head. "Get up. I'll take you to the hospital right now. I'm not sure until you go to see a doctor. Even if you and Darren get angry, you should take care of yourself."
She could tell from Darren's caring eyes that he had been angry with her for only a few days. And they would get well soon. So she must take good care of Joana these days, or Mr. Lu would hate her for sure.
Joan raised her knee from the cold ground and sat down on the sofa to relax. "Linda, judging from his expression, can you tell that he doesn't want me to resign?"
She stared at the ceiling speechlessly. She was not blind, and his expression was obvious. Everyone could tell what was going on.
"Miss Gu, you have been pregnant for a month."
The doctor looked at her with a smile. A mother should be the happiest, shouldn't she? But the woman in front of her was obviously not happy. The girl who should be her bestie looked at her with worry.
"I have a baby? It's been a month. " Joan gently stroked her belly.
Darren, it's our baby. It's our baby.
Scott and she had married for half a year, but she had never got pregnant. Unexpectedly, she was pregnant on her birthday after having a romantic night with Darren.
Is it fate that didn't let her go?
"Joan, why are you so stubborn? Don't you want to see Darren?" "Don't torture yourself like this. You should give birth to your baby as well. After all, he can't be born without a father."
It turned out to be a young couple who had a quarrel. The young doctor had seen too many men and women like this, so he also persuaded, "It's better for a child to grow up in a complete family. Or he will have psychological defect when he grows up."
However, she had disappeared for so long, and she did not hear that Mr. Lu had any reactions. He was still reporting the results of the Lu Company on financial newspapers.
Austin followed them to the hospital. The Department of Obstetrics and gynecology. Was it...
He got through to Darren without hesitation. The content on the phone was brief.
X hospital. Joan was put on a gynecology examination.
The implication was that your girlfriend might have some good news and you decide whether you will come.
All the people in the Lu Company seemed to meet a ghost today. Darren rarely stopped the meeting at the critical moment, and when he walked out of the door, he used a trot.
The young men and girls could not wait to gossip. They all leaned on the window and door frame, looking at the flustered back of Mr. Lu who was rarely seen like this.
No wonder they were curious. They had never seen Mr. Lu discomposed. For so many years, no matter how difficult the cases he encountered, he was always confident with a smile.
When having a meeting, he always says: "Is there anything to be panic about?"
