Chapter 1169


    Chapter 1169 Pale


    A nightmare jolted Johanna awake. When she woke up, her body was drenched in sweat, and she


    couldn''t see anything in front of her.


    Only after catching whiffs of the faint milky fragrance did she recall she had returned to Jadeborough.


    She also remembered that yesterday was New Year''s Eve, and she had drifted off to sleep in Timothy''s


    arms while hugging Asel.


    Her anxiety gradually dissipated. She groped around to get off the bed to go to the restroom.


    Johanna had been back for a few months now.


    During this period, Timothy had brought her to visit eye specialists at various hospitals. Unfortunately,


    those doctors couldn''t figure out why she lost her vision.


    Timothy had forked out a lot of money to hire the best ophthalmologist in the world, but even the doctor


    couldn''t treat Johanna''s blindness.


    Perhaps having experienced the ordeal of being kidnapped had numbed her, for Johanna didn''t panic


    or feel devastated even after she became blind.


    She felt at ease as long as she had Timothy and Asel by her side.


    She had also slowly gotten used to being sightless. As Johanna grew familiar with the mansion''s


    around.


    When she brushed her teeth, she identally touched the tip of her tongue with the toothbrush,


    prompting her to retch and suddenly feel ufortable.


    The difort didn''t go away even after she finished washing up and went downstairs.


    “Mrs. Jensen,” the housekeeper, Loraine Langdon, greeted when she saw Johanna descend the stairs.


    “I made pasta. Should I prepare a ss of warm milk for you?”


    Johanna hummed in response.


    “Where''s Asel?” Timothy would usually wake her up and apany her and Asel to have breakfast


    downstairs.


    However, Timothy and Asel weren''t there when she woke up that day.


    Loraine ced a te of pasta before Johanna and answered, “Today is New Year''s day. After Asel


    finished her milk, the nanny brought her outside to y. I think Mr. Timothy went out because


    something came up at the office. He left in a hurry and didn''t even have his breakfast.”


    As Johanna had lost her vision, Timothy rarely went to the office nowadays. He would only visit the


    Johanna didn''t expect he would have to work even on New Year''s day.


    She hadn''t recovered emotionally since her return to Jadeborough. In addition, she hadn''t gone out for


    a long time since losing her eyesight. It felt like ages ago since Ist contacted Genevieve.


    With that thought, Johanna nned to bring Asel to Swallow Garden to visit Lucian and the others after


    Timothy returned from work.


    Loraine brought the heated milk over. Johanna took a sip and caught whiffs of the warm, fresh milk''s


    scent. Right when she was about to gulp down the milk, her stomach churned.


    She hurriedly asked Loraine to pass her the trash can before lowering her head and puking out the little


    food she had just eaten.


    Loraine poured her a ss of water and asked concernedly, “Are you all right, Mrs. Jensen?”


    “I''m fine. I''m just feeling a little nauseous after drinking the milk.” Johanna rinsed her mouth with water.


    The difort in her stomach lingered. “Bring me a ss of orange juice.”


    “Sure.”


    Loraine took out an orange and ced it in the juicer. Two minutester, she served the ss of

    orange juice.


    She noticed Johanna consuming half a ss of the orange juice in one gulp and adding more


    condiments to the pasta than usual. As someone with experience in that area, Loraine realized


    something.


    After hesitating briefly, she leaned closer to Johanna and whispered, “Mrs. Jensen, did you not use


    any... protection when spending the night with Mr. Timothytely?”


    Johanna was momentarily taken aback, but she swiftly grasped what Loraine meant.


    Blushing slightly, she replied, “We didn''t.”


    Loraine chirped, “That must be it, then. After you finish your meal, I''ll bring you to the hospital for a


    health examination.”


    “Okay.” Johanna was feeling under the weather and was full after taking only a tiny portion of the pasta.


    Then, she went upstairs to get changed. When she was done, the driver chauffeured them to the


    hospital.


    Johanna leaned against her seat and caressed her lower abdomen.


    Although Timothy apanied her to sleep every day upon her return, they didn''t get to share many


    intimate moments because Asel would get between them.


    Due to her mood swings, her menses also became irregr.


    The color drained from Johanna''s face as she was abruptly reminded of something.


    Coincidentally, the car came to a halt at the hospital''s entrance. Loraine had gotten out of the vehicle


    and was about to help Johanna out of the car when she was met with thetter''s ashen face.


    Shocked, she asked, “Mrs. Jensen, you look very pale. Are you feeling sick?”
