Chapter 1270 You Can Leave
Zephyr held Johanna's waist just in time to prevent her from falling. As he reached out, part of his hand brushed
past her protruding belly through her clothes. Remembering that she was pregnant, he quickly placed his hand on
her shoulder instead to steady her.
Johanna struggled to pry the man's hand off, but he wouldn't budge despite her repeated attempts. He then pushed
her back onto the bed.
“You're blind and pregnant. Even if you are lucky enough to escape this place, how are you going to return?”
Zephyr gently held Johanna's hands to prevent her from doing anything reckless.
“This place is located in the outskirts. You won't run into anyone within a few kilometers radius. Even if you're lucky
enough to come across a car, they'll notice that you're pregnant and blind, making it very easy for them to take
advantage of you.”
Johanna lifted her leg and kicked him hard since she couldn't move her hand. “Do you think everyone is as wicked
and shameless as you?”
Zephyr chuckled lightly upon hearing her comment. “No one has ever dared to use those words to describe me
before,” he said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJohanna's anger blew out of proportion when she heard him laugh. “You're not just despicable and shameless.
You're also a f*cking animal! If I were your mother, I would regret giving birth to you!”
Zephyr's casual smile slowly faded away, and his gaze turned grim as something she said hit a nerve with him.
Johanna sensed the sudden change in his aura and stiffened.
“If you want to leave, fine.” Zephyr released his grip and took a few steps back. “Go ahead, then. Walk eighty
meters east and you'll reach the door of the room.”
Johanna immediately got up from the bed and groped her way to the east. Eventually, she touched the doorknob.
She opened the door and walked out of the bedroom, trying to use her acute hearing to distinguish where the exit
was. However, the house was eerily silent, as if there was no one else besides her and Zephyr.
Johanna walked in the dark and soon bumped into a wall. She turned and walked in another direction but bumped
into another wall.
When she finally found the stairwell, she almost lost her balance and fell. After steadying herself by gripping the
stair's handrail, she slowly descended the stairs. Alas, she couldn't locate the front door despite fumbling around for
a long time.
Johanna was exhausted after everything that had happened, especially since she was pregnant. The baby in her
belly began giving her a hard time, too.
She caressed her stomach and could feel her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to roll down her cheeks any
moment.
I shouldn't have argued with Timothy and run away from home.
If she had brought Timothy to the gynecologist at General Hospital, where she had her first prenatal checkup, and
clarified things, perhaps there wouldn't have been so many issues, and she wouldn't have been abducted by Zephyr
again.
Zephyr had been secretly trailing behind Johanna, and when he saw her almost fall down the stairs, his heart
skipped a beat.
By the time he reached out to help her, Johanna had already stabilized herself by clutching the handrail.
Upon seeing Johanna turning and walking back toward the stairs, Zephyr asked, “Aren't you leaving? Did you
change your mind?”
Johanna sneered. “Now that I'm in your hands, how can I possibly leave?”
Before this, she didn't think it was a big deal to be blind since she had the housekeepers and Timothy around to
help her. However, now that she was in an unfamiliar environment, she found her visual impairment troublesome.
Besides, Zephyr's words made sense. Even if I did manage to get out of this place, I don't have my phone or my
wallet with me. What am I going to do once I'm outside? I can risk my life if I was alone, but now that I'm carrying a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbaby, I can't endanger the child's life, too.
Johanna spoke calmly. “Zephyr, I'm no longer a young lady. I'm a mother, and I'm pregnant with my second child.
Just what do you see in me? Why are you so obsessed with me?”
Zephyr sauntered toward Johanna and lowered his head to look at her. “He's mistreating you, and I want to save
you from him.”
“It's normal for couples to have arguments,” Johanna said. Upon finding out he had been secretly stalking and
watching her all along, she was disgusted. “And if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have argued in the first place!”
With a gentle smile, Zephyr replied, “The absence of trust in a relationship means the love isn't genuine.”
“Shut up!” Johanna snapped.
“See? Even you yourself are doubting whether Timothy really loves you.” Zephyr stroked Johanna's cheek and
spoke in a soft voice. “Jojo, I'll accept you for who you are. Please stay by my side.”
Johanna raised her hand and slapped his hand away viciously.
She found it ironic for Zephyr to claim that he was trying to save her when it was actually him who had ruined her
life. If he hadn't kidnapped her in the first place, there would never have been a rift between her and Timothy later
on.
