He didn’t respond to Theron’s request, just shouted outside the office.
“Jarred.”
Dealt with Anton’s Jarred, walked in.
“I’m in!”
“Bring Dr. Duffy in.”
“Yes!” Jarred obeyed and left.
In the office, Johanna’s painful groans got louder and louder, driving Theron crazy.
Just as he was about to take Johanna to the hospital no matter what, footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer.
An old man with silver hair walked in.
The old man had white hair, but his face was rosy, making it hard to guess his age.
Theron’s anxious expression eased as he had seen this doctor from an old man before.
This doctor was good at using special tools to treat illnesses, with the ability to bring the dead back to life, very impressive!
When he arrived, Theron felt relieved.
The doctor’s arrival put Theron at ease, but it made Johanna’s uneasy feeling suddenly grow stronger!

Terrence raised his chin and pointed to Johanna, “Show her.”
Blaine Dully nodded and walked straight up to Johanna.
Theron was really nervous about Johanna, holding her hand and about to hand her over to Blaine.
Johanna leaned against Theron, snuggling in his arms, with her arms folded.
But she didn’t have as much strength as Theron. He gave a little push, and her arm was pulled forward towards Blaine.
Blaine reached out his finger and gently placed it on Johanna’s wrist.
Johanna’s face was pale as a sheet, looking like death warmed over.
Lizzie saw Terrence’s move and almost burst out laughing.
She gave Terrence a thumbs–up under the table.
Terrence was really impressive, tough and didn’t say much!
Bringing her own doctor, just waiting to expose Johanna’s disguise, just ask Johanna if she’s scared!
Hahaha!
Lizzie’s raised eyebrows made Terrence’s mouth curl into a smile.
Lizzie was so happy, it was worth him waiting for Blaine to come here when he had time.
The way they were flirting made Johanna so mad she was shaking!
“Pregnant, don’t get upset, if you want the baby to be healthy, just relax and take care of yourself.” Blaine closed his eyes and focused, carefully feeling the pulse beating, then said to Johanna.

Theron looked down at Johanna when he heard that.
Johanna quickly looked down, hiding her emotions in her eyes.
Time was passing by minute by minute, Johanna felt her heartbeat getting louder, almost about to jump out of her chest.
Finally, Blaine withdrew his hand.
He opened his eyes and looked at Terrence, his tone calm yet confident.
“Back to commander, the lady is in good health and the baby is normal.”
Blaine’s words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing Johanna’s last glimmer of hope.
She wobbled and almost couldn’t sit still.
At the same time, it also washed away the beautiful filter Theron had for Johanna in his heart.
He couldn’t believe it, “But, Johanna was in so much pain just now.”
His world was falling apart.
“If she was okay, then why was she so miserable?”
Blaine studied medicine all his life, and when he was questioned like that, his face looked really bad.
“She’s fine,” Blaine said and then fell silent.
Lizzie’s lips curled up slightly, her eyes scanning Johanna’s pale face, “Some people might get a stomach ache when they’re emotional.”
Johanna’s body tensed for a moment, she felt like Lizzie’s words

weren’t good, but she had to go along with it, otherwise it would confirm that she was faking being uncomfortable!
“Yes, I, I get stomachaches easily when I’m nervous. Just now, just now it was really painful, I, I thought… I thought something was wrong with the baby.”
Theron’s eyes landed on Johanna’s face, those eyes that used to trust Johanna completely, now had a hint of doubt creeping in.
He remembered the past, those details he had ignored, now flooding back like a tide.
Every time, at a critical moment, she would have a stomachache. Whenever she had a stomachache, it would make him ignore Lizzie a little more and deepen the misunderstanding.
And he, time and time again, chose to believe in Johanna’s vulnerability and tears.
Johanna keenly felt the change in Theron’s gaze, so she immediately lowered her eyes, feeling guilty and avoiding looking into Theron’s
eyes.
Theron’s heart sank a little.
He might have really been tricked by Johanna.
This realization made him feel a wave of suffocating exhaustion.
However, everything seems to have been too late.
They have already gotten married, so it’s a done deal.
Terrence didn’t give Theron much time to process his emotions, then announced, “After investigation, Johanna was found guilty of plagiarizing Ms. Trevino’s research findings. Effective immediately,
