All Chapters of When Love Turns Its Back: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Joanna had skipped her usual afternoon nap. Hence, she dozed off on the car journey back without realizing it.She wasn't sure how long she'd been asleep when a sudden jolt startled her awake.Fortunately, she was wearing her seatbelt. The impact from the emergency brake flung her body forward, but it was quickly restrained. She was unharmed.Dominic, equally shaken, turned back anxiously. "Ms. Thompson, are you okay?"Joanna took a deep breath and nodded. "What's going on?""A woman suddenly ran out into the street! She scared me half to death," he said, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.Just as he finished speaking, a woman with long, messy hair appeared in front of the car. She clutched the hood, trying to stand with much difficulty.She looked to be injured.Joanna furrowed her brow. At the speed of light, she unbuckled her seatbelt and opened the door to get out.Seeing the woman up ahead, Dominic hurriedly got out as well."Hello, are you okay? Where are you hurt

Not only that, but Joanna's suspicion about Nadine was right. She was indeed the buyer willing to spend 80 thousand dollars on Joy's uterus for a transplant.Over the phone, Elliot angrily cursed Nadine out, calling her a stinking pile of dog shit. Meanwhile, Joanna remained rather composed."Joanna, we should call the police. Organ trafficking is illegal. Let's make sure Nadine's reputation is ruined, and she ends up in jail. That idiot Hansen can then see for himself the true nature of his so-called perfect love." Elliot was absolutely fuming.Joanna let out a light chuckle. "You said yourself that Nadine used a false identity to arrange the uterus transplant. What use would it be calling the police?"Nadine wasn't foolish enough to use her real identity for illegal organ trading and transplantation."She's not stupid, but the police aren't clueless either. If I could figure this out so easily, the authorities wouldn't even have to try hard," he argued.She nodded in agreement.

The golden morning light filtered through the large windows and cast itself upon Jeremy's chiseled side profile. His thick lashes fluttered as his eyes opened slowly.One of his arms had gone numb after he slept on it through the night, but he felt refreshed, his spirits as new as the morning sun beyond the windows. He blinked and looked around, surprised that he had slept soundly through the night on Joanna's old bed.It was before ten last night when he sprawled over the bed and fell into a dreamless slumber. He didn't stir once in his sleep.As he stared at the sun slowly rising outside the window, his eyes widened. Bewilderment and confusion flickered across his face.Why hadn't he ever shared a bed with Joanna? He reckoned it was because she had the body of a seductress. If he got into bed with her, he doubted he could keep his hands off her. He might very well perish atop her.More importantly, he refused to allow himself to lust over someone as vicious and wicked as her. He

After washing up and getting dressed, Jeremy came downstairs to find that Polly had already prepared breakfast. She had made coffee too.However, he felt no urge to eat. He didn't even feel the desire to take a bite. He walked straight toward the door."Aren't you going to eat something for breakfast before heading out, Mr. Hansen?" Polly asked.Without turning back, Jeremy instructed, "Find a chef with skills similar to Joanna's."Polly wasn't the least bit upset at his criticism. Instead, she felt relieved and quickly agreed.As soon as Jeremy stepped outside and got into the car, his phone rang again. It was a call from Nadine."Jeremy." As soon as the call connected, there came Nadine's gentle voice which was laced with excitement. "Have you had breakfast yet?""What is it?" Jeremy asked, his expression remaining stoic.Sensing that he seemed unhappy, Nadine's smile faltered. She sounded a little aggrieved as she asked, "Have you forgotten that you promised to accompany me

Nadine had a manager named Evelyn Crosby, who was hired by Jeremy to tend to her.Evelyn's ultimate goal was for Nadine to become Mrs. Hansen. She believed that if Nadine succeeded, she too would get to enjoy the riches and influence by extension. Because of this, she had followed Nadine's every command over the past two years with unwavering dedication. Not only did Evelyn obey Nadine's every command, but she also worked tirelessly to ensure her success.In fact, she was the one who helped Nadine find Joy to be her donor.When Evelyn learned that Joy was with Joanna, she panicked and immediately went to discuss ways to resolve this crisis with Nadine.If Joanna took Joy to the police, it would spell Nadine's doom. Under no circumstances could the truth about Nadine buying a uterus from a living donor come to light, especially not to Jeremy.But with Joy in Joanna's hands, it was clear that she wouldn't let Nadine off easily. She would undoubtedly tell Jeremy first.Upon recall
