“Mr. Schmidt, I have a feeling about this.” Even if he needs to face the
consequences.
Zaire knew he had made up his mind, he sighed softly. “If only I had known earlier, why bother in the first place.”
Johanna was waiting anxiously outside.
She saw Zaire come out and hurried over, “Mr. Schmidt, how did it go? What did Theron say?”
Zaire shook his head gently.
Johanna’s body shook, she felt like she was falling straight from the clouds into an ice cellar, her blood seemed to freeze all over.
Zaire went to talk to Theron about defining their relationship. She thought it would work out, but all her hopes and plans, at that moment, seemed to have gone up in smoke.
She tightly held onto the hem of her clothes, her knuckles turning white from the force.
Zaire saw her like this, thought she was worried about Theron, and comforted her, “He will be punished, the worst case scenario is just a demotion, so don’t worry too much.”
Johanna bit her lip hard, she still wanted to be a professor’s wife, how could she let Theron be demoted and punished!
She took a deep breath and quickly put on a fragile yet strong expression on her face.

“Mr. Schmidt, I caused trouble for Mr. Howland, but I can clear it up for Theron! Theron has always protected me and the children, now it’s time for me to repay him!”
Johanna walked into the Bureau of Investigation, saying.
Half an hour later, Theron came out.
Zaire and Johanna were outside.
The moment Johanna saw him, all her strength seemed to drain away, and she felt like collapsing.
Theron subconsciously tried to help him, but hesitated and didn’t reach
out.
Johanna stumbled back two steps before grabbing onto the tree next to her to steady herself.
“Theron, you…” Zaire saw Theron reaching out and stopped. Seeing Johanna like that also startled him.
Theron’s thin lips tightened into a line, he hesitated for a moment, then cautiously asked, “Are you okay?”
“You know Johanna’s condition. She’s been worrying about you. You’re fine now all because of her. For you, a woman, she even risked her own precious reputation!”
Theron frowned, “What do you mean?”
“She explained to the organization that she was pregnant with Efren’s child, and all the care you showed her was at Efren’s dying request. Now, it won’t be long before Equinox Research Institute fin‘ out about her pregnancy.
Theron’s dark eyes widened suddenly.

Johanna looked thin, with a hint of bitterness but a calm smile, “It’s okay. Mr. Howland, Mr. Schmidt, you don’t need to worry about me.”
She raised her hand and gently touched her stomach.
“The thing about the kids…actually, even if I don’t bring it up now, in a little while, when I get bigger and my belly starts showing, everyone will know sooner or later.”
She stood in the cold autumn wind, her skirt fluttering in the wind. Like a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain, she looked so fragile yet strong, it’s heart–wrenching.
Theron’s heart sank suddenly.
A familiar sense of guilt, like vines wrapping around, tighter and tighter.
He remembered Efren’s bloody face before he died.
If this kid got teased because he didn’t have a dad, he really owes Efren an apology!
His Adam’s apple bobbed as he looked at Johanna, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions.
Johanna noticed the struggle in his eyes, slowly lowered her head, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She had guessed right.
The baby in her belly really outweighed the weight of Lizzie in his heart. But even though she won over Lizzie, she didn’t feel any joy of victory.
Now she doesn’t care so much.
She deliberately touched her slightly bulging belly gently, showing a

motherly tenderness in her actions.
“Don’t worry about Theron, I believe he is Efren’s child. In the future, he will definitely be strong and brave like his biological father, and become a fearless and upright person.”
This sentence, like a heavy hammer, smashed hard on Theron’s heart.
Theron felt a tightness in his chest, the guilt and sense of responsibility from deep within almost consuming him.
He looked at Johanna’s tearful yet pretending–to–be–strong face, and the last trace of hesitation in his heart seemed to crumble.
“Let’s get married.”
Johanna held back her excitement and didn’t agree right away.
was thinking about how to agree in order to highlight her indifference, forced by the world of emotions to agree, when a desperate cry came from afar.
“Theron, Theron, something bad happened!” Vanessa ran over, stumbling.
She grabbed Theron’s arm and stared at him with red eyes, “Theron, you finally came out. You don’t know, Jasmin and I were being bullied to death! Jasmin, she, she got into trouble! Go check on her quick!”
