Chapter 1354 There Is Something Wrong With...


    So engrossed in the fabric of their fondness, the duo found themselves resisting separation when


    the studio loomed ahead.


    Only when the summons of his professionalmitments became unavoidable did Brandon, with a


    pang of reluctance, release his hold on J. No sooner had J stepped into the studio, a grin


    of satisfaction adorning her face, than Lexi rushed up to her, dropping a low whisper into her ear.


    "Boss, Mrs. White has made her appearance."


    Confusion colored J''s features as she ventured into the studio, questioning, "What could


    possibly bring my mother here at this hour? Is there an issue?"


    Lexi, equally at a loss, trailed J, whispering her uncertainties, "I wish I knew, but something


    about Mrs. White''s demeanor isn''t right. She seems troubled."


    With a nod of acknowledgment, J made haste to her office.


    Upon J''s entry, Johanna was seen perched on the couch, a storm of unease apparent in her


    demeanor.


    Maintaining her smile, J approached her mother, masking her perplexity. "Mother, what brings


    you here all of a sudden?"


    Johanna, dismissing her daughter''s query, hurriedly moved to lock the door before approaching


    J with a gravely serious tone. "The prenatal check-up fromst week, did the resultse in?


    What did they say?"


    The abruptness of Johanna''s question stunned J


    into silence. Regainingposure, she queried in amazement, "Mother, how did you find out about


    our prenatal appointmentst week?"


    Exhaling in exasperation, Johanna responded, "My dear, have you forgotten? Vivi caught you two at


    the hospital entrancest time. Were you not heading for a check-up?"


    Suddenly, J connected the dots. "Oh, indeed."


    Johanna shook her head ruefully. "That fiasco created quite themotion, impossible to ignore.


    However, that''s water under the bridge now. That''s not why I''m here."


    Drawing J''s hand, Johanna sat her down on the sofa, her voiceced with concern. "Now, tell


    me truthfully, were there anyplications with the check-up?"


    Johanna''s stern gaze sent shivers down J''s spine, raising a sense of foreboding. Nheless,


    she masked her anxiety behind a reassuring smile. "Everything''s perfectly fine, Mom. Why are you


    so concerned about this out of the blue?"


    Witnessing J''s attempt at evasion, Johanna''s suspicions heightened, her brow furrowing as she


    insisted, "J, don''t conceal the truth any longer!"


    After a moment''s hesitation, J broke under Johanna''s persistent gaze and reluctantly admitted,


    "It appears there may be someplications..."


    Her voice dwindled. Noting the grief that shed across Johanna''s face, J rushed to reassure


    her, "Mother, worry not. The marvels of modern medicine can rectify any problem."


    J''s attempt at soothing only deepened Johanna''s distress.


    Holding J''s hand tightly, she muttered, guilt etched across her face, "I am to me... I failed to


    protect you..."


    Perplexed, J replied, "Mother, what are you saying? How can any of this be your fault?"


    J couldn''t make heads or tails of Johanna''s self -incrimination. Even if there were issues


    concerning Brandon, Johanna was hardly responsible. Why was she shouldering the me?


    Tears welled up in Johanna''s eyes, threatening to spill as she stroked J''s hand, struggling to


    voice her regret, "If we hadn''t been so reckless... you wouldn''t have had to endure such hardship for


    all these years, and even more... even more..."


    Johanna choked on her words, unable to continue.


    Why was she implicating herself?


    J''s unease deepened. Before she could make sense of her mother''s words, Johanna wiped


    away her tears, her voice resolute. "It''s alright, no matter the cost, we''ll find a way to treat and cure


    you. I''ve reached out to a renowned gynecologist. He''ll surely be able to assist."


    Johanna''s words detonated in J''s mind like an explosive, leaving her in a state of disarray.

    "I..." J pointed at herself, her mind whirling. "I''m the one with issues?"


    With firm determination, Johanna gripped J''s hand, ready to lead her to medical assistance.


    "Let''s not waste any time. Let''s see the doctor right now."
