CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Fortunately, Joe wasn't in any serious condition. The doctor emphasized he should only be getting out of bed occasionally, let alone leaving the hospital. While the doctor was explaining, his gaze lingered on Yvonne, making her feel uneasy. Sensing her discomfort, Nina stepped forward, pulling Yvonne behind her and locking eyes with the doctor. "Excuse me, why are you looking at my friend like that? The family member listed in the patient records is Winona Turner, not Yvonne. Are you sure you've got the right person?"

The doctor offered a nervous smile. "Oh, I definitely recognize Mrs. Turner. It's just that while Mr. Turner was unconscious, he kept calling out Yvonne's name. And hearing you all refer to this young lady as Yvonne, I was curious to know what kind of person could have such a hold on Mr. Turner's heart?"

His comment left everyone stunned, all eyes shifting to Joe.

Nigel, clearly unsettled, stepped in front of Yvonne and snapped back at the doctor, "Just because he mutters her name in his sleep, does that mean it's about Yvonne? Maybe he's just a weirdo."

"And who are you calling a weirdo?" Winona's voice rang out as she stormed into the room. After a brief glance at Joe on the bed, she turned to glare at Yvonne.

Noticing Nigel by her side, Winona's lips curled into a mocking smile. "Well, that didn't take long. Already got yourself another sucker, huh, Yvonne? How should I even begin to describe you? Haven't you done enough damage?"

"Mrs. Turner, please be respectful," Nigel interrupted, fully intent on defending Yvonne without knowing the full story.

Winona's eyes gleamed with more disdain as she looked Yvonne up and down, shaking her head. "Not that attractive, but somehow men keep falling all over themselves for you."

Yvonne remained silent, knowing

nothing she said would justify her complicated history with Joe. She also understood Winona's

resentment. If the roles were

Yvonne far more than he ever did for

his wife.

A nurse sensing the tension quickly made an excuse to leave the room under the guise of checking on other patients.

Winona moved to Joe's bedside, and a helper immediately handed her a damp towel. She gently wiped his face, playing the part of a devoted wife.

"Still here? What are you waiting

for-him to wake up? Oh, right, didn't you say you'd leave forever once he woke up What's wrong, changing your mind?" Winona's voice was cold and condescending, each word hitting Yvonne like a knife to the

heart.

At that moment, Nash and Nigel both received updates regarding the gallery investigation. While Nigel's face lit up with relief, Nash frowned slightly.

Yvonne, standing between the two

men, didn't notice their reactions. She was too fed up to hold back any longer and shot back with a bitterAll rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

gone!"

"Oh, really?" Winona chuckled softly. "Whoever did that did quite a job. Have they caught the person? Be sure to thank them for me. It really did me a favor."

She handed the towel back to her helper, wiped her hands with a tissue, and stepped toward Yvonne. "Honestly, they should've made sure you never hold another gallery again. Make sure you're down for good." "You-"

Yvonne began to retort, but Nash quickly pulled her aside, speaking in a low voice, "Jucas Lynch confessed. He took your paintings to settle a gambling debt."
