Josephine woke up slowly. When she looked at the snow-white walls around her, she was stunned and instantly realized where she was.
Suddenly thinking of everything before she fainted, Josephine couldn't help but be shocked, and her face became pale and colorless.
"Are you awake?"
The cold and low voice sounded. Josephine's eyes suddenly widened, and then she looked at the source of the sound in panic.
"Theo... Theodore..."
Theodore, who was leaning against the window, looked coldly at Josephine lying on the bed, "How do you feel?"
Josephine couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment. She bit her dry lips and replied, "It's... it's much better."
"Alright." Theodore nodded at the same time, "What about your belly? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Josephine stared at him and felt a little relieved.
If he asked like this, it meant...
"Nothing."
Theodore lowered his head and thought for a while. Then he walked to the bedside and put his hand on her lower abdomen through the quilt. He stared at her and said, "That's good. This child... seems to be lucky. You fell down like that, and he was still stay in your belly safely."
Josephine's face changed. She forced herself to smile, "Yes... You're right!"
Even she didn't look at herself in the mirror, she knew how stiff the smile on her face was. But now, she really couldn't laugh, especially when she saw Theodore frowning. It was good enough for her to squeeze out a smile when she was in such a panic.
"Do you want a boy or a girl?" Theodore said at the same time. He looked up at her and even smiled at her.
"I... I don't mind... As long as it's your child!"
Theodore could not help but sneer when he heard that. Then he raised his hand and grabbed her neck, "My child? You don't mind?"
Josephine was frightened by Theodore's sudden move. His strength was quite strong, so she only felt that her throat seemed to be broken.
"Theodore..."
Josephine reached out and put her hand on his, trying to make him let go of her. However, not only did Theodore not let go, but the strength in his hands grew even stronger.
"Josephine, you're really a good actress. You can even lie to me like this!" He narrowed his eyes and looked terrible, "Didn't you say you were a month pregnant? Where's the child? Don't tell me you just had a miscarriage because you fell!"
He hated her so much! Theodore gave up Elizabeth and chose to be with Josephine. He couldn't blame anyone else. He could see that Josephine loved him. But if she really loved him so much, why did she have to lie to him?
Theodore still remembered the panic when he drove Josephine to the hospital. He was afraid that something would happen to her and the child. Along the way, he even thought that when she woke up, he would persuade his parents to take her home and let her have a good rest. Then, according to her physical condition, he would decide when they could get married.
What a joke!
Marriage... He even thought of marriage in such a ridiculous way!
But what was the result? When the doctor told him clearly that Josephine was not pregnant, Theodore was stunned at that time and asked the doctor to check again.
At that time, what kind of mood did he have? Not only did he feel loss and heartache, he felt immense anger!
No wonder she didn't want to come to the hospital at that moment...
Theodore felt that he was like a idiot, and fooled by her.
Even just now, she was still lying to him!
Josephine still had a glimmer of hope first, although it was not very high. But now, when she heard Theodore's words clearly, she couldn't help but be shocked. He, he finally knew...
Although she was in a panic now, she still forced herself to stay calm. After thinking for a while, she endured the pain in her throat and said weakly with a pale face, "Theodore... Maybe... Maybe I had an upset stomach and was always feeling nauseous, so... I thought I was... pregnant..."
Theodore heard that and couldn't help sneering. He loosened his grip and took two steps back.
Josephine's throat was finally released. She took a few deep breaths smoothly and began to cough violently with her hands covering her throat.
"You just thought? Then tell me, what's wrong with the pregnancy test list you showed me that day?"
Hearing this, Josephine immediately forgot to cough. She was stunned and panicked, "I..."
Yes, in order to be more convincing at that time, she specially went to the hospital to take the morning urine of a pregnant woman. Just now, she only wanted to cover up the matter. How could she forget this matter for a moment?
"Theodore, listen to me..."
Theodore just said, "I'll go first." Then he strode toward the elevator without even looking back at her. And when he moved away, Josephine finally understood that the reason why he stayed just now was not for her. It was for Elizabeth who was facing her at this moment!
He spoke to Elizabeth just now as well, right?
Josephine felt desolate in her heart. Looking at Elizabeth, she was stunned at first, but then she said angrily, "Elizabeth, why are you here?"
Because Elizabeth was worried about Josephine, she didn't have dinner with John and Lydia. Elizabeth went to the hospital with Theodore. Of course, she also knew what happened. Just outside the door, she also heard their conversation.
At this moment, Elizabeth's mood was somewhat complicated. She felt incredible, surprised, compassionate and also angry.
However, Elizabeth had to admit that Theodore was right just now. Josephine's trick was quite successful.
Last night, Josephine cried and begged her and James to let her go, saying that she was pregnant. She acted as if she was really pregnant and really loved the child.
If Elizabeth had not thought that Josephine was pregnant, Elizabeth would not let her go so easily for Kuture's matter.
But in the end, everything was fake!
Holding back the disappointment in her heart, Elizabeth stared at Josephine for a while and asked softly, "How's your injury? Do you feel better?"
Josephine pointed at Elizabeth and said fiercely, "I'm not good at everything! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, Theodore wouldn't have left me! It's all your fault!"
If James hadn't brought Elizabeth to her house to threaten her, she wouldn't have said anything about Margot, and Margot would never come to her. So there wouldn't have been such a thing, and Theodore wouldn't have left her.
She knew that Theodore... Theodore really would not be with her again this time...
Now, what hope did she have?
Elizabeth sighed, feeling this kind of Josephine was sad and unreasonable, "After all these things, don't you understand? It's not me who should be blamed. You should look for reasons from yourself. You... take care of yourself." After that, Elizabeth didn't stay any longer, and she turned around and left.
Josephine clenched her teeth tightly, and her teeth were about to be crushed by her.
Josephine was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and even her face was a little twisted. She shouted at Elizabeth's back, "Elizabeth, I hate you!"
