Chapter 221

At 8:30 PM, the door swung open!

A group of maids entered, carrying trays of different sizes.

The trays were filled with a feast fit for a king!

Ms. Chain maintained a gentle and respectful expression. “Madam, this is the nutritious meal instructed by Mr. Everett to prepare for you!”

“I’m not eating!” Joanna seethed with anger and had no appetite.

“Madam, you haven’t had lunch! Skipping dinner won’t do any good!

“You’re just one person, but you have to take care of the nourishment for two!”

“All of you, get out! Give me some time alone!”

The six maids took a step back, their eyes fixed on her as if she were a criminal!

Joanna was fuming with rage!

Bruce had dared to restrict her personal freedom!

“Ms. Chain, I beg you, let me go! I can’t stay here…”

Ms. Chain looked helpless. Besides using gentle persuasion, she had no authority to make decisions.

“Madam, please don’t worry!

*

“Mr. Everett doesn’t want you to leave. It’s for your own well–being! Before he left, he instructed us to serve you with utmost dedication!

“From this, it’s evident that he truly cares about you! Madam, please listen!”

Joanna parted her lips, ready to retort.

But after a moment’s thought, she couldn’t be bothered to say anything to them!

They were just following orders. How could they dare to act on their own? Pleading with them was pointless!

“I’m not eating. I have no appetite!”

Joanna meekly returned to bed. She hadn’t eaten a morsel all day.

Perhaps it was due to morning sickness, but she didn’t feel hungry.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

Joanna had been confined for a full forty–eight hours!

Throughout these two days, the maids had kept a constant watch on her, 24 hours a day. If she did anything to harm herself, the maids would intervene immediately!

Even as she slept, the maids remained close by, vigilant in their watch!

This relentless surveillance took a toll on Joanna’s mental state!

She was already battling depression and had to take antidepressants every day! Now, after two days without medication, her condition worsened.

Unfortunately, these maids were like mindless machines. No matter what she said, they refused to listen!

After two days. Joanna lost a considerable amount of weight and became even more agitated.

Ms. Chain witnessed the scene unfold and couldn’t afford any further delays. She swiftly dialed Bruce’s number to give him. an update.
