A Vengeful Bride novel Chapter 387

"How's Joanna now?"

After a long time, the whole corridor became extremely quiet. Both Athena and the housekeeper did not speak. Then Nacho asked the housekeeper.

"She is in the villa now. She seems to be greatly frightened. I asked the servants to take good care of her."

Nacho's eyes darkened. He straightened up and looked at Athena, who was wiping her tears, and said, "Aunt Athena, please stay here and look after Cedric. I'll go to the Xis' first. Tell me if anything happens to Cedric."

"Okay." Athena had always trusting Nacho.

Because Nacho had been obedient and thoughtful since he was a child.

"Madam, the young master is crying and looking for you." The servant held Kerr, who had been crying, walked into the room and said to Joanna who was in a daze.

Joanna rolled her eyes slightly. She tightened her body and said hoarsely, "Give Kerr to me."

When she reached out her hand and held Kerr, her whole arms stiff.

Kerr cried so sadly that his face turned red, which looked extremely pitiful. Looking at Kerr's pitiful appearance, Joanna lowered her head, kissed him and whispered, "Good boy, mommy is here."

"Madam, don't you go to the hospital to see Mr. Xi?" Seeing that Joanna relaxed a little when she held Kerr, the servant asked.

Hearing Cedric's name, Joanna's back trembled again.

She gently clenched her fists and pursed her lips.

"Mr. Xi is still being rescued. I don't know how he is at the moment." Looking at Joanna, the servant shook her head and sighed, and then left Joanna's bedroom.

In the quiet bedroom, there seemed to be a faint smell of blood. Joanna's back and even her whole body tightened.

She took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. She blinked her eyes, then tears rolled down her pale cheeks and slowly fell on Kerr's face.

Kerr blinked his red and swollen eyes, bubbled and touched Joanna's eyelids.

Being touched by Kerr's soft fingers, Joanna's body trembled a little.

She kissed his eyelids lovingly and muttered, "Kerr, what should I do? I'm so scared. I'm so afraid of losing you and your daddy."

"Since you're so afraid of losing Cedric, why don't you visit him?" A faint voice sounded at the door.

Hearing it, Joanna's back became stiff.

She slowly turned around and saw Nacho standing at the door and looking straight at her with shrewd eyes.

At the moment she saw Nacho, her hold her breath and her body began to tremble slightly.

She clenched her fists and asked dully, "Why... are you here?"

"I just came from the hospital and want to see how you are now." Nacho walked straight to Joanna and said.

When Joanna heard the word "hospital", she breathed rapidly.

She held the Kerr tightly in her arms with her stiff hands, and her pale lips made Nacho feel that she was very fragile.

"Do you want to know Cedric's current situation?"

Nacho looked at Joanna's pale face, moved a chair and sat next to Joanna.

Joanna raised her head and looked at Nacho. She vented the emotions that she had been suppressing in an instant, "I don't know what to do."

"I know. Joanna, it's time for you to forget your past. Those things should not be your burden. Cedric knows he is wrong. He should be punished for what he had done. If you don't want to love him anymore, I won't blame you. I just want to know what you're thinking about now. Do you really want to leave Cedric? Don't you want to be with him?" Nacho's words made Joanna want to cry.

She had never thought of leaving Cedric. She just felt that she didn't deserve Cedric in her heart.

"I think I don't deserve to be Cedric's wife." Joanna touched Kerr's soft hair and muttered.

"No, you deserve him." Nacho shook his head and said with gentle eyes.

"If you want to leave and calm down, I can help you. Come back when you figure it out. I will take care of Kerr."

"Okay." Nacho understood Joanna very much. He knew that Joanna only wanted to calm down and think about what she should do in the future.

Just like the last time, Joanna left the Xis alone quietly.

Cedric was really lucky. He was not seriously injured, and the knife just scratched his skin.

When he woke up, he was unusually calm, but his eyes were fixed on the door.

Seeing Cedric like this, Nacho knew who Cedric was waiting for.

"Give her some time." Nacho handed an apple to Cedric and said blandly.

"Why did you come here to see Arvin? Don't you love Cedric very much? The man who asked his bodyguards to rape you."

A gloomy voice sounded behind Joanna.

When Joanna heard the strange and hoarse voice, she immediately turned back. Then she saw a woman in black standing behind her.

The woman was thin, wearing a black cloak and a mask on her face. Joanna couldn't see her face clearly, but she could feel that this person hated her very much.

"How does it feel to fall in love with a man who allowed his bodyguards to r*pe you? I didn't expect you to be so lascivious." The woman approached Joanna and said gloomily.

"Who are you?" Joanna got up and squinted at the mysterious woman.

The woman covered her face with a mask and spoke with a voice changer. Joanna didn't know who she was at all. "Someone who wants to kill you." The woman chuckled and took out a syringe from her cloak. Before Joanna could react, she had already given Joanna an injection.

Joanna let out a muffled groan and fainted.

Looking at Joanna who had fainted, the woman sneered evilly under the black cloak.

She clapped her hands, then someone came over and carried Joanna out of Arvin's tombstone. A gust of wind blew, as if someone was crying.

"Not here?" Nacho took his assistants and wanted to drive Cheryl out of Beijing. But there was nobody in Cheryl's house. Nacho asked his assistants to inquire around and got the news that Cheryl didn't come back all day. No one knew where she went, and she was not in the company.

"Yes, the neighbors don't know where Cheryl has gone, and her best friend is Joanna."

Nacho's eyes turned a little cold as he asked, "Where is Joanna now?"

"You asked us... not to follow her." The bodyguard raised his head, hesitated for a moment, looked at Nacho and said in a dilemma.

Nacho wanted to give Joanna absolute freedom and space, so he didn't send bodyguards to follow her. Because Nacho knew that Joanna would never leave Beijing alone, so he didn't worry about her.

"Look for Joanna immediately and find out where she went."

After saying this, Nacho got into the car and asked the driver to send him to Earl's house.

Hearing the knock on the door, Earl opened the door. When he saw Nacho standing at the door, he said gently, "Why are you here? What's the matter? Or do you need my help in any case?"

"Is Joanna here?" Nacho looked at Earl coldly and walked into his house.

He glanced Earl's house with shrewd and cold eyes.
