Substitute Marriage With the Illegitimate Son novel Chapter 1055

"Wait..." Janet jumped out of bed and rushed to put on her shoes, but the door was pushed open from the outside again before she could.

"See? I've told you that the patient in this ward is my daughter," Johanna emphasized once more, looking impatient. She pushed the care worker who tried to stop her and barged into the room with Beal.

When Janet looked Johanna in the eyes, she felt extremely awkward. "Mom, when did you and Dad return?" Her face flushed red as she asked.

Beal and Johanna had just recently embarked on a long-delayed round-the-world tour. Ever since they were reunited with their daughter Janet, they had been able to really enjoy their retired life.

As such, Janet did not expect to see them back so soon.

"My dear, what happened to you? Was it you or Brandon that got hurt?" Johanna asked, eyes wide with puzzlement. By chance, she saw Janet standing next to the bed holding a bag of chips and crumbs sticking out of the corners of her lips.

Meanwhile, the real patient, Brandon, who was slicing a pineapple diligently, carved the fruit into what almost looked like a work of art.

"Brandon wanted to eat some chips. I was just tasting them for him..." Janet murmured. Janet picked up a tissue and wiped her mouth hastily after putting on her shoes. She nudged Brandon with her elbow, hinting at him to speak for her.

Johanna stepped forward and held Janet's arm. "Stop bullying your husband. After all, he needs to

rest right now." She gently pinched the tip of Janet's nose and said in a reproachful tone, but her eyes were full of love for her daughter.

"Mom, I would never bully him." Janet leaned on Johanna's shoulder, acting like a spoiled child.

Johanna adored her long-lost daughter and couldn't bear to blame her. She smiled helplessly at Beal and said, "Okay, fine. You've won."

Janet pursed her lips, content to be surrounded by happiness and love. "What are you and Dad doing here?" she asked, snapping out of her reverie.

Beal placed the gift they had brought on the table and complained, "It was your mother's call! She was so worried about you that she practically begged me to bring her here."

Raising an eyebrow at Beal, Johanna retorted hastily, "Was I the only one who was worried? Someone got furious when he heard that Brandon was on a business trip without his daughter. He immediately arranged for a plane to fly us home. And, enraged, he vowed on the plane that he would not let Brandon get away with mistreating his daughter."

Beal didn't expect Johanna to rat him out like that. He blushed with embarrassment and complained, "Honey, you're not supposed to tell them! You... It's... Never mind! Forget it!"

Johanna and Beal's squabble ended with smiles. Janet squinted her eyes, taking Johanna's arm in one hand and Beal's arm on the other, and said, "I know that you two care about me a lot, but who told you that I was here?"
