Chapter 2956
When His Eyes Opened
When Joanna heard what Avery said, her face turned pale with fright.
Joanna: âAuntie, when will your driver arrive?â
Avery: âI guess it will take a while. He is going to see someone off right now. Are you at home today?â
Joanna: âYes, at home. But my house is very messy.â
Avery: âItâs okay. The things are a bit heavy. Iâll ask him to deliver them to your home. You donât need to
clean them up. I know youâre usually busy at workâ¦â
âOkay, thank you, Auntie.â Joanna really couldnât refuse Averyâs kindness, âIâll pay you New Yearâs
greetings when youâre free some other day.â
âOkay! When are you coming, tell me in advance, and Iâll entertain you.â Avery said enthusiastically.
After hanging up the phone, Joanna scratched her head.
âMom, Aunt Avery said that she sent someone to deliver food to me. Her driver will come to our house
later. When her driver comes, you have to take Gia out to hide.â Joanna said. She was originally in a
calm mood, but it turned out like this.
âItâs so cold outside, where can I hide with Gia?â Mrs. Picard was a little embarrassed, âEveryone is at
home to celebrate the new year! Why is her driver not celebrating the new year?â
âYou donât understand this. The driver is going to work today, may be his salary is high!â Mr. Picard
said, âIâll take Gia out later. Iâll take Gia to the safe passage for a while. The driver will come to see you
off. He wonât be with us for very long after delivering the gifts.â
âOkay! Iâll collect Giaâs things first.â Joanna immediately collected Giaâs things in the living room.
Before she had children, Joannaâs room had never been so messy.
After having a child, the room was not tidy at all.
Giaâs bottles for milk powder, her toys, and her clothes. When she looked around, Giaâs things were
everywhere.
âJoanna, donât panic. You put the things in your room, itâs impossible for others to go to your room.â
Mrs. Picard helped her daughter put them away together.
âI shouldnât have accepted the flowers from them last time. If one of them doesnât call in advance next
time, wonât it be revealed?â Joanna said. She was becoming more and more attached to Gia, making it
impossible for her to send Gia to the Foster family for custody.
Facing so many top wealthy families with better conditions than herself, what Joanna could do was to
hide Gia well.
âDonât be so pessimistic. I think Avery is a very nice person. Todayâs New Yearâs Eve will still miss you.â
Mrs. Picard was in a good mood. âIf you hadnât given birth to someone else, how could our family be
with you? Is someone involved? Your current dessert shop is also getting better and better because of
the help of others.â
âMom, I know what you said. I didnât say they were bad. Itâs just that I canât lose Gia. The thought of
losing her makes me feel bad.â Joanna quickly put her daughterâs things into a large storage box and
she carried the storage box into her room.
An hour later, the driver of Fosterâs family called Joanna and delivered the things.
Joanna went downstairs with her father and younger brother to help carry things.
The three of them carried all the things the driver brought, and they didnât need the driverâs help to take
them upstairs.
The driver scratched his head in embarrassment: âThen Iâll go first.â
âLetâs go! Thank you for your hard work!â Joanna let out a big sigh of relief after watching the driver get
into the car.
When the three of them returned to the rented room, Mrs. Picard hugged Gia and said, âLook, Joanna,
things are not as scary as you think. Donât always be so pessimistic in the future.â
âMaybe Iâm a little pessimistic!â Joanna opened the presents one by one, âGinseng, birdâs nestâ¦why
did Auntie send me so many supplements? Do I look weak?â
