"Mistake her for me?" Edie couldnāt believe what Donald said.
"Yes, she had some problem in mentality. Severe self-cognitive dysfunction."
Edie frowned. She realized the seriousness of this "Why? How?"
Donald looked relaxing. He smiled, "Thatās not bad, actually. Even if she didnāt mistake her for you, and I would still fall in love with her. After all...no, one could love her as deeply as she loves me. I would treasure her. We are preparing to have a baby," Donald was still smiling. He looked quite satisfied with what he had at the moment.
Edie didnāt know how to describe her feeling at the moment. For her, Joanna was never a kind-hearted woman. But her love for Donald was touched.
"Take care of her. You would be happy forever."
"I would."
"Scarlett might finish now. I should go downstairs now."
"Be careful."
When Edie went downstairs, she saw Scarlet was talking to Joanna.
Scarletās attitude towards Joanna changed. She also sympathized with her so much. Besides, she also wanted to help Donald.
Seeing Edie, Joanna laughed, "Iāve seen you just now. Are you with her?"
"Well...we are classmates. I want to have lunch with her today,"
"I am Edie Lara. Donaldās wife. What about you?" Joanna offered her hands to Edie and asked her.
It was so embarrassing.
Scarlet looked at Edie blankly. She didnāt know how to answer her question. Edie smiled, "Mrs. Yates, you can call me."
"Mrs. Yates? Donāt stand here. Sit down, please. I can make some tea for you. Good for a womanās health. I want to give Scarlet some. I can make you a cup of one. It drinks so well".
She looked so friendly to them.
Neither Edie nor Scarlet refused. At the moment I walked out with a tea set.
He passed the teacup to them one by one. When it was Edieās turn, Edie got the tea out carelessly. Water poured out, burning the skin on her handās back.
"Ah...."
Edie felt so painful.
The maid was so terrified. He apologized immediately, "So sorry, Miss....my fault...."
"What the hell are you doing? Sheās pregnant. She might lose her baby. You wouldnāt be able to afford it."
Scarlet frowned and yelled at him.
"Pregnant?"
When hearing Scarletās words, Joanna froze. She stared at Edieās belly.
It was winter. Edie was so slim. And she wore lots of clothes. So it was not obvious.
"You...Mrs. Yates, are you alright? Is your baby all right?" Joanna sat down immediately and wiped her hands dry. She did this so gently.
"It is not so severe. You donāt need to go to the hospital. Iāve prepared an aid-kit in Donaldās office. Wait for a moment."
Edie wanted to stop her. It was just a slight wound on a small part of her hands. It was not a big deal. But Joanna insisted on it.
After she left, Scarlet asked the maid to leave immediately.
Scarlet said reluctantly, "Youāve already known what happened to Joanna now. She mistakes herself for you. Now she couldnāt even remember anyone in Gregās and her own family. The only one she still remembered is Donald Lynch. Sheās changed totally. Donald helped me before. So I need to help him at this point."
"I understand. Sheās gotten better now. It is not bad, actually. It might be a good thing for her to forget those things. She could live a happy life with Donald," Edie said.
"Yes. Youāve gotten married. Actually, I am wondering. Would I be the most powerful woman in A since my best friend became the wife of the president of the L.N. group?"
"He quit the job now. Stuart is no longer the president of the L.N group. Aaron is the president. Currently, he is nothing more than my husband."
Edie was so happy that she couldnāt hide her joy.
Even though he was no longer that powerful man, she still loved him deeply, as long as he still stayed with her. That was all she wanted.
She would love him forever, no matter what happened to him.
Even if he had no one penny in the pocket, she would still love him.
"What? But the L.N never claimed this."
"I donāt know why. Perhaps they donāt want to tell the public. It is a kind of protection method inside the group." Edie shrugged her shoulder. She didnāt really care about this.
Scarlet still wanted to say something for Aaron. But since Edie already found her happiness, she didnāt think it was necessary to talk about another man in front of her. She might stay with Stuart forever.
When they fell into silence, Joanna came with the medicine. She started applying for the medicine on the wound on Edieās hands back carefully.
"Youāve perceived a baby. You should be more careful while going out. You must take care of your baby. Actually...I also plan to have a baby with Donald."
Joanna looked at Edieās belly joyfully. She looked exactly like a lovely mother at the moment.
Edie smiled and said, "You would have a baby with Donald, dear."
"Yes, I believe so. Are you having lunch with Scarlet now? All right, I leave you alone. I should have lunch with Donald now. Bye." Joanna stood up and smiled at them.
"Okay, bye."
Looking at their back, Joanna looked dumb. Deep in her beautiful eyes were something. But it disappeared in a second.
She murmured blankly, "Mrs. Yates.... perceived a baby. I also want a baby".
She covered her own belly and stood there alone as if sheād already perceived a baby.
Edie drove to the neighborhood of A college with Scarlet. They wanted to taste the dumpling they ate when they studied here long ago.
When they found seats and sat down, one woman appeared so suddenly. She looked like a student in A college. She pointed at Edie all of a sudden and said, "Edie Lara, she is Edie Lara. The woman was cheating on her husbandāthe shameless bitch. You dare to appear here. Shame on you."
The woman rushed to Edie directly.
Though Edie already sat down, she fell down when that woman rushed to her.
As her kneel crushed on the floor, she felt extremely painful.
That woman didnāt stop. Scarlet stopped her in time.
"Who the hell are you. Donāt you dare to touch her a little bit? I would make you regret."
Scarlet got mad in seconds. She held Edie up and asked her, "Are you okay? How do you feel now?"
"I... I am fine," Edie stood up. But her kneel was still painful.
The woman was pushed out by Scarlet. But she still kept cursing Edie outsides, "Shame on you, you bitch. If I were you, I would be too ashamed to walk out of the house. You are nothing more than a whore playing those stupid men, including your uncle, your husbandās secretary. So gross."
