Chapter 120


    He was n’t worried about the problems hispany was facing , but someone had sent a set of picture


    s of him and Joana having an affair in his mailbox to ckmail him . _ _ _


    Carlos paid the other party some bribe , but he was still worried that I would find


    out and wanted to send Joan away .


    After talking to me a little longer , Carlos looked at his watch and got up . “ It’s gettingte . I ‘ll go  back


    and help Bianca pack . ” _


    I naturally did n’t want him to stay in the ward another minute , so I insisted he leave .  _


    After Carlos left , I called Isabel and told the cell about Carlos ‘ strange behavior . _ _ She was a little c


    onfused . ” It stands to  reason that Carlos should n’t be so concerned about a contract . “


    “ Yes , I also find it strange . While a $ 100 million contract sounds daunting , it is all toomon to


    find ws in the business arena . It’s not the first time that Carlos has


    suffered a failure , so he should n’t act that way for this one .reason . ”


    “ Are there other things that we do n’t know are bothering you ? Or perhaps he feels that Joan ‘s existe


    nce is a threat and wants to deliberately send her


    away to probe his thoughts of her ? Isabel conjectured for a moment .  _


    “ That ‘s possible . But I don’t think Joana will leave like


    that . Her goal is to  rece me instead of just being a _


    lover . ”


    “ If it was Carlos ‘ intention , Joana would definitely not be so submissive . She would definitely manage


    to stay , agreed Isabel . _ “ There , right . She already knows the news of your pregnancy . As you gue


    ssed , that bitch canreally hide your thoughts . She didn’t show any emotion . I


    think right now she ‘s trying to think of a way to deal with you .”


    “ I’ve already made my preparations . I’m just worried that she won’t make her move . ” I scoffed .


    I didn’t believe that Joana would be able to stay calm . If Carlos really meant


    to send her away , she woulde to me first and try to find a way to stay .


    Sure enough , as I thought , Joana really came to see me in my room that night . When she walked


    in , she had a look of extreme concern on her face . “ Linda , why did n’t you tell me when you were in


    the hospital ? ”


    “ Carlos did n’t want me to tell you . He said you ‘re pregnant and he was afraid that telling


    you would make you worried . “ I put the me on Carlos .


    “ And did you hear him ? We are best friends . I was concerned when Mrs. _ Morais treated you like


    Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g!


    that . You have no idea how excited I was . _ ” Joana ‘s hypocritical concern disgusted me . _ _ “ Beauti


    ful , does your waist still hurt ?”


    “ I feel so much better . Honestly , there was no need for me to go into the hospital . I wanted to


    go back to recover , but Carlos disagreed and insisted that I be hospitalized for observation ” . I  mentio


    ned this deliberately to annoy her .


    “ Carlos treats you so well , ” said Joana bitterly .


    “ Yes , he always treated me well . He ‘s kind and thoughtful , and he’s always thinking about


    the future for me . ” I put a happy and contented look on my face . I wanted to piss this bitch off .


    “ You ‘re right . Carlos is like a helicopter husband . I ‘m so jealous of you , Linda . Giving me a pained


    smile , she rubbed her stomach with her hand and sighed .  _ _


    I knew this bitch wasing at me today not to make small talk with


    me , so I looked at her with concern . “ Joana , how are you recovering now ? _ ”


    “ I am almost fully recovered . I am preparing to


    be discharged in two days . ” Joana referred to being discharged . _ _ “ Linda , I will not live in your hou


    se after I am discharged from the hospital ”


    “ Why would you want to move when you ‘re living perfectly there ? ” I asked with a look of surprise .
