Chapter 938
Catelyn quickly said, "Grandma, didn't Doctor Rudolf just examine Joanne just now? Let's just let her
rest already."
"But we have to make sure that the child has any illness or fever before it's too late!" said Old Madam
Atherton. Nothing was going to change her mind about this.
Catelyn tried to wink at Edwin, but he was keeping his eyes on Joanne, not noticing her signal at all.
How frustrating!
Before they knew it, the old family doctor of the Athertons had arrived along with Kelly Preston.
This doctor had been with the Athertons for many years, and the family had always treated him well.
As soon as he arrived, he quickly dispersed the crowd, leaving only Catelyn, Old Madam Atherton, and

This doctor's diagnosis method was more sophisticated than that of Doctor Rudolf. Within three minutes, he said to
Old Madam Atherton while smiling, "Congratulations. Although the young lady is a little unstable at the moment, she
will be okay after some good rest."
"Really?" Old Madam Atherton still could not help but feel suspicious. "Are you teaming up with them to deceive
me?"
The old doctor replied calmly, "I've been serving the Athertons for almost thirty years. I'm sure I don't have the guts
to lie to you. Besides, I also look forward to bringing in this new additional member of the family for you and that
additional bonus reward as well."
Old Madam Atherton now felt utterly relieved and smiled boldly. "Don't worry. As long as you can give me a little
great-grandson, I will reward you with a villa."
Joanne felt dizzy. She could vaguely hear someone talking in her ear, and she could see a doctor examining her.
When her consciousness gradually recovered, she just happened to hear the conversation between the doctor and
Old Madam Atherton.
She subconsciously stroked her lower abdomen.
The old lady was looking forward to Joanne's child so much, yet she deceived her...
Noticing that Joanne was awake, Old madam Atherton quickly stepped forward and held her hand. "Joanne! The
doctor said you were running around too much, and your baby is a little unstable! Make sure you rest well next
time, and I will take good care of you."
Joanne's eyes turned red upon listening to Old Madam Atherton's sincere words.
For the first time, she got to enjoy such care and love from her elders.
Not even the Winter Family cared about her life and death.

’Why are you crying?" Old Madam Atherton wiped her tears lovingly and said gently, "Are you still
feeling sick? Good, it's normal for pregnant women. Just bear with it a little longer, and it will go away."
"Grandma!" Joanne suddenly burst into tears and threw herself into the old lady's arms. "I'm sorry! I'm
really sorry..."
She was not actually pregnant, after all. This whole scheme with Edwin was all to deceive Old Madam
Atherton.
The old lady tried her best to comfort Joanne, but she could not stop crying. She frowned and asked
Edwin to come forward to coax her.
However, Joanne was still sobbing. She did not want to listen to Edwin. It was all because of him that
she was where she was at the moment.
Joanne did not want to lie to Old Madam Atherton, but she was forced to.
Was it time for her to tell the truth? She sure did not have the courage to do so.
If she had admitted that she was not pregnant, those two innocent doctors would have been dragged
into this mess as well.
