Chapter 96
I glared at Henriques , but he did n’t seem willing to pay any attention to me . Deftly unlocking my cell
phone , he punched in his number before handing it back to me . “ This is my number . _ When you are
free after _go home , call me about medical expenses . _ _ _ _ Oh yeah , do n’t call me before 8:00 a
m , between 12:00 pm and 1:00 pm , or after 10:00 pm at night . “
I ‘ve never known a man like him
to be totally arrogant , rich but mean , and has nothing going for him other than his good looks . Not wa
nting to talk to him any longer , I took Bianca ‘s hand and walked into the hospital building .
When I pushed open the door to Joana ‘s infirmary , I immediately saw
her lying on the bed , looking very warm . Meanwhile , my mother-in-
law was sitting on the couch , watching television . However , there was no sign of Victory . where did s
he go
Victory ?
While I was reflecting on this , my mother-in-law caught sight of us . Rising to her
feet , she greeted me with a bright smile . “ You ‘re here , Linda ! ”
His attitude was so pleasant that it
surprised me . Judging by her kindness , Carlos could have told her about . _ _ my pregnancy . Howev
er , I was a little intrigued . _ She ‘s always been an open – mouthed person , so he doesn’twould he
be afraid that she would tell Joana everything if he told her the news ? Perplexed , I smiled at her back
. _ “ Mom , you must have been bored in the hospital , right ? ”
“ No way . _ I can watch
television here , so it’s not much different than being at home , ” replied my mother-in-law .
While we were talking , Joana , who was lying on
the bed , opened her eyes . The moment she saw me , a surprised expression blossomed on her face .
_ _ _ “ Linda , you ‘re here ! ” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
With that , I walked over
to the hospital bed and looked at her with concern . “ I’ve been busy these days , so I have n’t had time
to come visit . How are you , Joan ? ”
“ I’m much better . It’s
just that I ‘ve been bothering Mrs. Morals these days , so I feel really bad for making her fuss over me .
_ _ _ _ Joana looked at my mother – in – law with all the gratitude in the world .
“ That ‘s true . We gave her work these days , mother ” . Likewise , I thanked my mother – in –
law with gratitude engraved on
your face .
“ No way , so do n’t mention it . Now we are a family since we are living together . There’s no need to st
and on ceremony with the family , ” my mother-in- law blurted out at once .
Oh ! Who is a family with you ? That bitch on the bed is family with you ! I inwardly criticized . The fact t
hat she and Joana were imitating each other was really beyond my expectations . Their conversation s
eems to have been rehearsed .I inwardly raised my guard . _ Are they trying to corner me again ? _ _
Right after a thought like that crossed my mind , my mother – in-
law continued : “ Joana , didn’t you say you had something to say to Linda ? Now that she ‘s here , why
do n’t you tell her ? _ ”
“ Mrs. _ Morals ! ” A conflicted expression appeared on Joana ‘s face . _ “ Forget
it . I ‘d better not say anything .”
“ Joana , I do n’t want
to punish you , but Linda is your friend and we never considered you an intruder . Now that you’re in tr
ouble , you should tell Linda right away . Why are you saving this ? _ ”
The fact that they ‘re singing the same song makes
it obvious that they ‘re setting me up , I scoffed inwardly . However , if I do not say anything at
this time , it will certainly arouse suspicion . “ Disturbed ? Why are you worried , Joana _?”
Joana let out a sigh , with an expression of pity .
“ You really are making me lose my temper ! It does n’t matter , if you ca n’t say it , I ‘ll help you say it to
Linda . My mother in law looked at me . “ Linda , Joana has been worried about her son recently“.
“ Her son ? _ Is there a problem with the child ? ”
“ There is no problem with the child . Joana is only worried about the future . Since she is not married t
o the child ‘s father , the child will be born out of wedlock . She is afraid that the child will not be able to
have the registration documentscivil when born , and you know how crucial that is . Without these docu
ments , the child will be an unregistered natural person . In the near future , he will not be able to
attend school , and in the distant future , he will be affected even on time .to work and if
marry … ”
That said , even an idiot would be able to decipher her intention –
this bitch , Joana Ramos , actually wants to register her illegitimate child with Carlos Morais and me as
the legal guardians ! _
