Chapter 217 Return Of Ex-wife

• Joanna clung to the sink in the restroom, heaving uncontrollably, nearly bringing up stomach acid. For the past couple of days, she had been experiencing occasional bouts of nausea. She dismissed it as mere indigestion, not paying much attention to it. But today, her vomiting became more intense! “Oh my god, could I… be pregnant?” Joanna’s heart sank, and she hurriedly splashed cold water on her forehead. Lately, she had been feeling sluggish and fatigued. The symptoms seemed to match those of pregnancy! However, since that night of having sex with Bruce, she had been worried about the possibility of getting pregnant. She had taken contraceptive pills, so she couldn’t fathom how this could have happened. “No. I need to go to the hospital and get checked!” she resolved.
• Joanna regained her composure and left the restroom, returning to the conference room. “Miss Haynes, are you alright?” someone asked. “Do you need us to take you to the hospital?” another inquired. Joanna paused for a moment, her expression serious. I’m sorry, I’m feeling unwell. Let’s end the meeting for today.” “Alright! Since we’re not making any progress today, let’s wrap it up,” someone replied. Joanna didn’t say anything more. She grabbed her bag and swiftly left the company. As she sat in her car, restlessness consumed her. She silently prayed that it wasn’t true. She had to hurry to the hospital to confirm if she was actually pregnant.
• Half an hour later, Joanna arrived at a private maternity and child hospital. Before long, the nurse provided her with a pregnancy test kit and drew blood for the examination. After a while, the results were ready. “Ms. Haynes, you’re pregnant!” the nurse informed her. Upon hearing the news, Joanna felt as if lightning had struck her. How could she be pregnant at this time? What should she do? “I remember taking birth control pills. Could there have been a mistake?” *Contraceptive pills aren’t completely foolproof.
