Chapter 40 Deborah Is Pregnant?

Ashton stayed in Flora Villa’s study until midnight, but Deborah did not come back to beg him.

He was afraid she really froze to death on the street, so he called Jeff in with some frustration “Go and

see where Deborah and that

bastard went?”

Jeff immediately nodded and went out to do it. He quickly come back and said, “Sir, we checked the

surveillance footage on the road. Ms. Shepherd is…

“Speak!” Ashton said in a deep voice.

Jeff braced himself and continued, “Ms. Shepherd and her daughter got into Mr. Black’s car by the

street.”

Ashton was just about to ask how Deborah and Joseph got together when he suddenly remembered

she had slept with Joseph that

night.

She is so shameless. It seems they hooked up after that night! Ashton thought to himself.

David Wood called Ashton and wanted to ask him about the document that Ashton had just returned.

David intended to know where it

needed to be revised.

Ashton’s face was sullen. He swept his hand across the desk, and the laptop fell to the ground with a

bang.

Jeff stood where he was and did not even dare to breathe.

”

Joseph brought Deborah and Alyssa back. The car stopped in the front yard of the villa. He looked at

Deborah, who was sitting next to him with Alyssa in her arms. Both the women were asleep. Obviously,

they were exhausted.

Joseph knew Deborah wouldn’t have gotten into his car if not for the fact that she had no choice and

Alyssa was in a terrible

condition.

When Joseph let Deborah into the car, her face was ashen.

But now, her face was as red as a cooked shrimp.

Joseph reached out and touched her forehead. It was so hot.

He clicked his tongue and did not care much. He opened the car door and got out of the car first.

The few servants who came out saw he brought back a woman and child without a word. They did not

know what to do.

The driver knew Joseph well and was not nosy, but since Joseph brought Deborah and Alyssa back

tonight, the driver did not intend

to leave them in the car.

The driver ordered the maids, Take them to the guest room and ask Dr. Evans to take a look.”

Only then the maids dare to go over. They took Deborah and Alyssa to the guest room and called Ben

Evans over.

After Ben shed examining the two women, Joseph finished his dinner and slowly walked over.

When Ben checked Deborah, she vomited in a daze.

Seeing Joseph come in, Ben said with a serious expression, “It’s not good. It seems she has been

seriously stimulated. Coupled with

the effect of the medicine, her nerves have weakened.

“We have to wait for her to wake up and use the professional equipment from the hospital to examine

her.”

Joseph replied, “Oh.” Joseph was obviously not concerned. He looked like he was watching a show. He

turned around and was about

to leave.

Ben thought of something and asked, “She vomited a lot just now. Could she be pregnant?”

Joseph stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at a suspicious and gossipy Ben. “You are the

doctor, aren’t you? Why are you asking me?”

The desire for gossip on Ben’s face grew even stronger. “Isn’t she your woman? Haven’t you checked if

she is pregnant?”

Joseph lowered his head and swiped his phone. “No, I picked her up by the roadside.”

Ben obviously did not believe him. “Don’t hide it. You have to tell the doctor the truth. How could you

just pick up some woman by the roadside?”

Joseph impatiently shifted his gaze away from the phone screen and looked at Ben. “Are you not going

to exarnine her?”

Ben then returned to his serious self and arranged for Deborah to be taken to the nearest hospital on a

stretcher to do a full body

examination.

The hospital gave an urgent examination at night. When the results came out, it was midnight.

Deborah was muddled from the fever. She was over 105 degrees Fahrenheit. From the moment

Joseph let her into the car, she had

been in a daze.

She vomited a few times, unconscious. One time, she even spat out blood.

After taking the results sheet, Ben brought Deborah back to Joseph’s villa.

Joseph was asleep. He felt he was stupid to bring Deborah and Alyssa back.

Joseph was going to anger Ashton, but then he thought Ashton liked Helen, so what was the use of

Deborah and Alyssa?

Therefore, Joseph quickly forgot about Deborah and went back to his bedroom to sleep after finishing

his work in the study.

It was late at night when there was a sudden knock on the door of the bedroom.

Joseph got out of bed with a dark face and put on a coat. When he went to open the door, he saw Ben

standing outside with a sad face.

As soon as he opened the door, Ben said anxiously, “How can you still sleep? That young lady has a

terminal illness. It’s liver cancer, and she is about to die!

“She also suffers from a severe mental breakdown. If she is not treated immediately, it is very likely she

will become psychotic.

“And your illegitimate daughter, who has late leukemia, will not live for more than a month. She has to

change her bone marrow immediately!”

Joseph reached out and closed the door. He went back to bed and continued to sleep. What the hell?

The phone on the bedside table rang, and Joseph was a little angry. He picked up the phone and was

about to curse.

But Ashton, who rarely talked to him, spoke, “Is Deborah with you?”

Joseph’

for a moment. He looked at the caller ID and confirmed it was Ashton.

It was half past midnight. Ashton called him in the middle of the night. For the first time, Ashton was

asking about Deborah.

Joseph was immediately stirred up with great interest. He answered, “Yes, she is on my bed. Do you

want her to answer the phone?”

Ashton was unable to suppress his anger. “Joseph, you are courting death!”

Joseph almost laughed out loud, as if he discovered something new and important. “What do you

mean? You gave Ms. Shepherd to me at Mauve Club.

It’s not like I haven’t slept with her. Why do you sound unhappy about it?

Ashton was furious, “Get Deborah to answer the phone!”

Joseph shook the pillow beside him. “Debby, Debby, wake up. You said you wanted to sleep with me,

but you didn’t tell Mr. Mullen

Joseph shouted for a long time, but Deborah didn’t say anything.

Ashton said angrily, “Joseph, do you think I’m a fool? Where is Deborah?” Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Joseph sighed. “It’s my fault for banging her too hard She’s tired, so she is soundly asleep. Wait a

moment. I’ll call her again.”

As Joseph spoke, he covered his phone receiver, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and went into the

guest bedroom beside him.

The light in the guest bedroom was still on, and Deborah had woken up from her fever. She was sitting

on the bed, staring blankly at Alyssa who was sleeping beside her.

Joseph walked over and handed her the phone. “You finally woke up. I didn’t tell Mr. Mullen you came

here. He called me.

Deborah gritted her teeth. After a long while, she still took the phone.

She had just had a high fever, and her voice was hoarse. “Hey, it’s me.”

After she finished speaking, she realized her voice was hoarse and fuzzy.

Ashton sneered a few times. Deborah could feel his fury through the phone.

After a long time, she heard Ashton’s cold voice. “Come back.”
