The Substitute Wife My Poor Husband is a Billionaire
Chapter 1056 Johanna Is Furious
“You should have told us about it right away.” Johanna rushed to Janet, clasping both her shoulders as she examined her from head to toe. “Were you hurt? You scared me.”
Janet took a deep breath. “Mom, don’t worry. I’m here, aren’t I?”
“But what if the person who did it actually poisoned you? We wouldn’t know until the effects are visible and what if by that time it’s already too late? You need to be carefully and thoroughly checked. Wait a minute, I’ll call the family doctor over now.” Beal was ready to call their family doctor.
A myriad of emotions flooded his chest all at the same time. He had been taking his wife on vacation around the world, utterly unaware that their precious daughter was in danger!
“Dad, I’m really fine. I told you because I want your help for something else. I really want to find the person behind all this but I can’t do this alone.” Janet stopped Beal and told him what had happened. Johanna’s face was serious when she asked, “How was your investigation going? Do you already have a suspect?”
Janet nodded, pulling out a document to hand to Johanna. “This is the information about Vivian and the places she had been seen before. I want your help.”
Janet was certain Vivian was the one who plotted to hurt her but she had no substantial evidence.
Ever since Johanna found Janet back, she had never heard her ask for anything until now. She took Janet’s hands in hers and said, “We’re family. If you need help with anything, just come to us. I was so excited when you reached out to us that I almost cried. You finally need us, my dear daughter.”
Guilt was obvious in Janet’s voice as she said gently, “I didn’t want to involve you in this at all. I thought I could handle it, but alas.”
She considered something for a while before adding, “Dad, Mom, this matter also involves the Turner family. It might get troublesome for the White family. I’m afraid you’ll be in trouble.”
The Turner family and the White family had always kept their distance from each other. 1
“I never thought there would come a time when we would oppose the Turner family. But they have to pay for hurting my daughter!” Johanna was famous for her hot temper in her early years. She was unstoppable until Beal came into her life.
Gently stroking Janet’s cheek, she said, “Let us deal with it. You just take good care of yourself. That’s the only way we can rest a*s*sured.”
“I will take good care of myself,” said Janet. She stood, clinging to Johanna and Beal’s arms. She leaned on Johanna’s shoulder. She wasn’t expecting Johanna to be this protective of her. A warm feeling spread across her heart. Having a family to rely on felt so good.
Johanna was still angry when they got into the car.
She took a deep breath and said, “Who is that Vivian girl anyway? Do we know her background? How dare she hurt my daughter!”
“As of now, all we know is that Luke AND Catherine adopted her. I already requested someone to dig for more information about her. We’ll find out who she really is soon. Calm down and don’t overexert yourself.” Beal squeezed Johanna’s hand. He kept his head level as he planned how to deal with the Turner family once he had the evidence.
Johanna couldn’t stand Janet being bullied for a moment. “Honey, after you get the information, we should go abroad and meet with the Turners. They are now traveling happily in Toronto. I’m sure they had no idea what was happening.”
The investigations were carried out at once and the evidence soon accumulated.
Spring came in a blink of an eye. The air in Barnes was anew as the seasons changed, bringing new vitality with it.
At the end of the corridor in the hospital, Janet waited anxiously for the result. This would be Brandon’s last examination before his discharge from the hospital.
“Honey, don’t be nervous. Frank is a good doctor. We should trust him.” Janet’s hand was trembling so Brandon scooped it and held it tightly.
Janet’s brow knitted as she muttered, “That’s why I’m worried. Frank is such a good doctor. What if he finds a more serious problem?”
