Chapter 354: Chapter 356 She doesn’t understand a single word!

She has connections at the hospital. Acquiring a pregnancy test report wouldn’t pose any difficulty.

If David wants her to get tested, then she will willingly oblige.

Once the test results come out, he naturally wouldn’t have grounds to doubt her anymore.

Actually, this could serve as a prime opportunity to prove herself.

With that in mind, Annie quickly agreed with a nod, looking obedient and compliant. In a soft, tender voice, she said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you, David. Shall we go to the hospital now?"

David gave her a puzzled look.

Annie had agreed so readily that it made him feel unsure about the doubts he had just been harboring.

Could he be overthinking?

Regardless, since the seed of doubt was planted already, whether it was out of paranoia or not, he had to take Annie to the hospital for a check-up.

If he happened to have been mistaken, he could always make up for it by buying her a gift as an apology.

Soon, both of them, under the protection of the police, left the police station through another exit and were able to avoid the reporters that had been waiting at the main entrance.

As soon as Ashton Heath finished his business meeting, he drove back home.

Upon arrival at Hillside Villa, Mr. Rowan came out to greet him.

"Has Ms. Joanna woken from her sleep?" Ashton asked as he took off his coat and loosened his necktie, handing them to Mr. Rowan.

Mr. Rowan received them and followed behind him, respectfully responding, "Ms. Joanna has not come downstairs yet, she should still be asleep."

Knowing Joanna had painful menstrual cramps, Ashton couldn’t rest easy.

He feared she must be unwell, that’s why she had been in her room all day.

He quickly climbed the stairs, walked fast and anxiously. Upon entering his bedroom, he saw the petite figure on the bed, unmoved and in a deep sleep, exactly as when he had left.

Ashton quietened his steps.

He slowly approached the bed and gently pulled on the thin blanket.

Joanna was fully covered under it, even her head.

Ashton pulled back the blanket from her face, revealing her beautiful, soft, petite face.

In her deep sleep, the young girl’s fair skin glowed a faint pink, like a newborn baby.

Joanna’s eyes fluttered open and through her drowsy gaze, she saw a familiar pair of deep eyes.

She was startled for a few seconds, her voice sounded a little groggy, "Ashton... You’re back?"

Seeing her awake, Ashton pulled her into his arms, blanket and all, holding her as if she were a cherished treasure.

Lowering his head, he softly said, "Yes, I’m back."

Joanna turned her head to glance at the wall clock, somewhat surprised. "You’re done with the business meal so soon?"

It was only now five o’clock.

She had thought that Ashton would only be back by seven or eight.

Usually, was it not customary to have dinner during such business meals?

"Yes, I promised you that I’d be back home before you woke up, and I kept my word. Baby, don’t I deserve a reward for my good behavior?"

An hour later.

Ashton, having changed into a bathrobe, carried Joanna out of the bathroom.

Like a man carrying a precious treasure, he watched as the young girl shrunk herself into a ball within his arms, not daring to lift her eyes and meet his gaze. His thin lips curved up in delight.

Seeing Joanna blushing so much that she wished she could curl up into a ball and deny him even a glance, Ashton’s throat emitted a pleased chuckle. His eyes softened, "Baby, do you plan to keep your face covered?"

"Open your eyes and look at me, okay?"

However, Joanna continued to bury her head, refusing to look at him like a frightened quail.

Whenever she thought about what just happened...

She would blush bashfully!

Ashton’s lips still wore a smile, and his eyes affectionately rested on her. He walked to the bed and gently set her down.

Holding her in his arms, he gently asked, "Baby, are you hungry? Anything you want to eat, I will accompany you."

"Let’s go out and eat tonight, this was decided to celebrate Jeremy’s discharge from the hospital, right? We got delayed yesterday, so let’s make up for it today."

Upon hearing him mention Jeremy, Joanna finally lifted her red face.

She blinked her eyes and then slightly furrowed her brows, "Are you saying you want Jeremy to dine with us?"

"Mm, is that an issue?"
