Natalie stopped arranging the items and lifted her phone. A smile appeared on her face when she realized the

caller was Joyce.

Seeing her smile, Lina asked curiously, “Who is it?”

“It's Joyce.” Natalie showed her the screen and answered the call, asking happily, “Joyce, what brings you to call me

all of a sudden?”

Joyce seemed to have been too busy with work and her pregnancy that she rarely gave Natalie a call recently;

Natalie had been the one calling the former.

Naturally, Natalie was surprised by her call.

“Nat...” To her surprise, Joyce did not sound happy on the phone. On the contrary, she sounded lifeless.

The smile on Natalie's face faded, and a frown creased her forehead. She asked concernedly, “Joyce, what's

wrong?”

Sensing the nervousness in Natalie's voice, Lina stopped arranging the things and turned to look at the former.

“Nat, did something happen to Joyce?”

Natalie shook her head and nodded at the same time. She pulled her phone further from her lips before answering,

“I don't know, but Joyce is acting weird. I'm guessing something happened.”

“Hurry up and ask her,” prompted Lina urgently.

Natalie grunted in response. “Got it.”

She returned the phone to her ear.

Just then, Joyce finally responded. After coughing a few times, she said weakly, “Nat, I suddenly don't know what I

should do in the future.”

“What's wrong? Come on. Tell me.” Natalie looked even more concerned.

No matter how Natalie tried to decipher Joyce's words, they sounded as if Joyce had seen through everything and

did not want to continue with her life.

It was impossible for Natalie to not feel fearful and worried.

Meanwhile, on the other end of the line, Joyce sat on the bed, her face incredibly pale as if she was drained of

blood. Even her eyes seemed clouded.

She looked like a doll who had lost its soul. It pained Natalie's heart to witness her friend in such a state.

“Joyce?” When Natalie did not hear a response from Joyce, the former's worry grew more intense, and the volume

of her voice increased. “Joyce, are you there? Please say something. Don't scare me.”

I can hear the weakness in Joyce's voice. What if she's suddenly not replying because she fainted? I don't even

know where she is. If I can't send her help in time, she might just...

Natalie did not dare to picture the outcome. She gripped the phone tighter and continued shouting Joyce's name.

Finally, Joyce replied, “I'm still here, Nat.”

Natalie immediately let out a sigh of relief upon hearing Joyce's voice. “Oh, thank goodness. I thought something

had happened to you. What's going on, Joyce? What happened? Tell me. Perhaps I can help you out.”

Joyce fell silent for a moment before uttering, “Nat, Stanley knows I'm pregnant.”

“What?” Natalie was so shocked that she stood up from her seat.

Lina jumped in shock as she was caught off guard by Natalie's reaction. “What's wrong, Nat?”

Natalie ignored Lina. Instead, the former tightened her grip around the phone and asked sternly, “Joyce, did you

just say Stanley knows you're pregnant?”

“Yes.” Joyce nodded.

“How did he find out? Didn't you say he had no idea you were that person from that night? Didn't you manage to

fool him? Why is he...” Natalie frowned in confusion.

Joyce caressed her belly, and a bitter smile formed on her lips. “I really managed to fool him at first. I even made

him believe I wasn't the person from that night. However, I didn't expect to meet him yesterday when Justin took

me to the hospital for a prenatal checkup. For some reason, he came back and heard my conversation with Justin.

That's when he found out I'm pregnant and that the child belongs to him. He knows I'm the person from that night

and...”
