    Chapter 1254 Give Up On This Child


    Not wanting to waste time arguing with Timothy, she continued asking Loraine, “When did he take


    Johanna away? Where did this happen?”


    “It was the day after Ms. Joule and Mr. Timothy quarreled,” said Loraine. The incident was still fresh in


    her mind.


    That morning, when Loraine went to the kitchen to get something, she saw Timothy throwing


    something into the trash can before walking out with a ss of warm milk.


    After he left the kitchen, Loraine picked up the small medicine box from the trash can.


    She recognized some of the words on the box and could roughly tell the medicine was for halting fetal


    development.


    Loraine was shocked and puzzled.


    When Johanna found out she was pregnant, Timothy was overjoyed and cautious about protecting the


    child. Since Johanna couldn''t see, he would always carry her up and down the stairs, worried that


    walking would tire her out.


    Why did Mr. Timothy put that medicine in Mrs. Jensen''s ss of milk?


    Timothy happened to have left the house when Loraine exited the kitchen. Johanna was ying with


    Asel in the living room and was about to take a sip of the milk that was ced on the table.


    Thinking about all the hardships Johanna had to endure during her pregnancy, Loraine couldn''t help


    eximing, “Ms. Joule, don''t drink that!”


    Johanna paused in her tracks and looked in the direction where Loraine''s voice came from. “What''s


    wrong, Loraine?”


    Loraine walked toward Johanna and whispered, “I saw Mr. Timothy adding some medicine that stops


    fetal development into the milk.”


    Johanna froze in disbelief, widening her unfocused eyes.


    “I''m not lying to you, Ms. Joule.” Loraine handed the box to Johanna. There was a set of instructions


    written in Braille inside the package.


    Having lost her vision for a long time, Johanna spent her free time learning Braille at home. As such,


    she recognized many words.


    Feeling the Braille writings with her fingertips, Johanna shuddered upon understanding the meaning of


    the words.


    Loraine said, “I think Mr. Timothy must''ve misunderstood something. You should exin to him that


    being pregnant is tough and getting an abortion will bring extreme harm to your body as well.”


    After calming down, Johanna called Timothy herself, asking him to return home.


    When Timothy returned and saw the untouched ss of milk, his eyes flickered. He then walked over


    and sat down beside Johanna. “Why didn''t you drink the milk?”


    “Asel rummaged around the kitchen just now and found this in the trash can.” Johanna tried her best to

    contain her emotions as she handed the medicine box to him. “Besides, you know that I seldom drink


    milk in the morning. Why did you serve me a ss of milk today?”


    Pausing, she faced Timothy and could feel his breath despite being unable to see his expression.


    “What did you put in the milk?”


    Timothy merely responded, “Jojo, let''s give up on this child.”


    Johanna stiffened, thinking she might''ve heard it wrong. After a long while, she finally came back to her


    senses and reacted. “Give up on this child? I''ve gone through so much carrying this child. You even


    prepared a nursery and listened to the baby''s heartbeat every night. You spoke and crooned to her


    lovingly. Why are you giving up on her?”


    A thought suddenly urred in Johanna''s mind, and she seemed to have understood Timothy''s


    sentiment. She added, “I go for prenatal checkups with Loraine every month. The doctor said that the


    baby is healthy.”


    Johanna asked Loraine to bring over the album that contained prenatal checkup reports that she had


    put together.


    However, when Loraine returned with the album, Timothy didn''t even bother taking a look. He merely


    ordered Loraine to bring Asel—who was ying with building blocks—away from the living room.


    Then, he spoke. “I checked with the hospital. You''re not only nine weeks pregnant.”


    “What do you mean?” Johanna was confused.


    Complete silence ensued in the living room. Soon, realization dawned on Johanna, and she


    immediately pped Timothy across his face. “Timothy Jensen, you b*stard!”


    Her fingernails scratched his face, leaving a bloody scar.


    Consumed by rage, Johanna felt suffocated and almost couldn''t muster a word. “I told you the moment


    I came back that I got some birth control pills from Frank, so I wouldn''t get pregnant. Besides, I only got


    pregnant a long time after I returned. I can''t believe you still think this child isn''t yours!”


    Johanna had never felt so humiliated in her life, not even when she was confined by Zephyr back then.


    At that moment, she felt her blood run cold from the devastation of being suspected by her own


    husband.
