Chapter 130
“ Carlos , Joana told me that tomorrow she would be discharged from the hospital . She was
going to tell him that I would bring her home , but today we left in such a hurry that I forgot to tell her . ”
* Did she look for you ? ” Carlos was stunned . “ When was that ? ”
“ Last night ; _ not long after you left . _ It
seemed like something was bothering her , and she even mentioned that she wanted to move out . It
took me a while to convince her to stay .
Meanwhile , Carlos began to look worried . _ I could tell he had found out what Joana was doing . _ “ S
he can move out if she wants to . Why did you convince her to stay ? ”
“ Carlos , what ‘s going on ? ”
“ No big deal . I just think that Joana has been a pain
in the ass lately , and she will annoy you from time to time . You are a pregnant lady now , so why shoul
d she burden you with her problems ? _ _ ”
From the sound of it , it sounded like Carlos was worried about
me , but I could almost tell how unhappy he must be in his heart . This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Instead of staying away from us ,
I did n’t expect Joana to play that card and expected me to protect her . I could imagine how annoyed
Carlos must be with her .
At that point , I intentionally threw the question back at him . “ Is this a good idea ?”
“ Of course . As a
friend , you’ve already helped her to the best of your ability . If she mentions to you again that she
wants to move out , you should let her do it .”
“ But I still want to share some thoughts about my pregnancy with her . ”
“ Did you tell her you were pregnant ? ” Carlos almost jumped in fright .
“ No. _ I remember what you said to me . _ I wo n’t say a word until I’m three months pregnant . ”
Carlos exhaled in relief as I felt speechless . _ _ “ Carlos , are you going to
bring her home from the hospital tomorrow ? ”
“ Ask her to call a cab with Mom . _ _ ”
“ Of course . I ‘ll call her then . ”
When I was going to call Joana , I heard my mother-in- law ‘s voice . “ Where is Charles ?”
It must have been my father-
in- law who contacted her after seeing all the bruises on Carlos ‘ face . She must have come home to s
ee her son . _
By
the time Carlos and I got up and opened the door to our office , we saw the nervous look on her face as
she grabbed my father -in-
law ‘s arm and asked , “ Why did n’t you ask him right ? Who hit him ? Perdid that person beat you ?
Being as ignorant as she was , he could only shake his head . “ Carlos refuses to say anything . _ _ ”
“ Mom , are you home ? _ ”
Upon learning it was me , my mother-in-
law turned around and let out an expression of regret when she
saw the bruises on Carlos ‘ face . “ Carlos , who hit you ? Why did that son of a bitch hit you ? Huh ? ”
While she was anxiously firing off all the questions to Carlos , someone else came through the door – it
was Joana , who shouted at the door.
see Carlos ‘s face . _
It was obvious that Joana felt extremely bad for Carlos . When I saw Joana , my heart sighed . “ Joana
, are you at home too ? ”
“ Yes , I
am . I immediately returned with Mrs. _ Morais the moment we learned that Carlos had been beaten . _
What actually happened ? _ _ ” Joana came through the door behind my mother-
in- law . Although they returned together , Joana did notI
couldn’t walk so fast because of the pregnancy .
“ So what really happened ? _ _ Your father only told me that you were beaten , but
he did n’t say why ” , continued my
mother-in-law
“ Are you really asking me that ? Carlos looked at my mother-in-
law a little impatiently . “ Didn’t you cause this ? ” “ What ? _ Me ? What did I do ? ” She looked totally c
onfused .
