Chapter 1356 I'm Afraid He Will Despise Me
Janet felt as if the world around her was spinning wildly and found it hard to breathe.
She stiffened herself up to stop her body from trembling, and after a while, she asked through gritted teeth, "Are you sure... it's my own problem?" Johanna was frightened by her daughter's pale appearance. She quickly poured her a glass of water, patted her back, and comforted her gently, "Calm down, my dear. Don't be afraid. You still have us. We will always give you our full support."
After gulping down a mouthful of water, Janet finally calmed down slightly. A wry smile appeared on her lips. "Mom, is it possible that the fertility issue is with Brandon? He was drugged by Charis before and lost his memory. Perhaps there are other side effects of that drug that we still don't know about?"
Upon hearing that, Johanna also recalled that incident and said hesitantly, "It is possible. Frank might have mixed up the details to keep the matter confidential since the information he gathered involved both men and women. I assumed it was your problem because of the anonymous call." Don't be too nervous now. Things aren't confirmed yet, and it might just be a minor problem."
Heaving a sigh of relief, Janet smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, I am not afraid of an illness. If it turns out to be a serious disease, I will be glad that Brandon won't have to go through this, but...
She covered her face in despair, her voice choking. "Not being able to conceive a child... Well, I don't want that to happen to me because I am afraid... I'm afraid Brandon will despise me for it. Mom, am I
being selfish?"
Joanna could understand her as a woman. She hugged her tenderly and said, "Don't think too much. Let's go and check again. What if it was just a mistake? It's probably not as serious as you think. Even if it is, you should believe in Brandon. We can all see how sincerely he loves you. Don't
you see it?" Janet leaned on her mother's shoulder, her smile growing more bitter. "It's precisely because I feel his sincerity and kindness that I'm more afraid of losing him."
Johanna touched Janet's head gently and said, "You're amazing! If Brandon dares to let you down, he will have to deal with me!"
Janet finally managed to pull herself together under her mother's comforting words. "Even if it really is my problem, I still won't be discouraged. And if Brandon leaves me because of this, it shows that he is not a good man."
Johanna sighed with relief after seeing her daughter strong and confident again. "I'm glad you think that way."
Then, she ruffled Janet's hair and asked tentatively, "Anyway, should we go for a check-up first, just in case... As one of the wealthiest families in Barnes, we have access to many impeccable medical resources. If something is indeed off, we can surely find a solution." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Feeling her mother's worry, Janet agreed, despite her nervousness.
On the way to the hospital, Janet leaned against the car window, took out her phone, typed a message to Brandon, but erased it. She did it a few times, unable to bring herself to send it.
She didn't know what to say to him.
Was she supposed to question him for not telling her the truth?
Nevertheless, she knew that even if he hid the truth
from her, it was for her sake, so how could she question him?
Moreover, if it was really his problem, wouldn't he get hurt all over again if she were to ask him about it so rashly?
