Janet’s frame rigidified as Johanna led her away.

Right as Johanna reached for the office door, Janet was jolted from her trance, her steps suddenly ceasing. Johanna, puzzled, swiveled around to find Janet frozen.

"Janet, what’s keeping you? Let’s not dawdle; perhaps the doctor can quickly rectify this." "Ease up, Mom."

Janet clung to Johanna, straining to regain her composure, and posed her question with an edge of doubt, "How did you come to know about my alleged infertility?" Johanna’s anxious demeanor and the firmness in her voice suggested a trustworthy informant.

Yet, hadn’t Brandon’s demeanor the previous evening suggested that he was the one with the fertility issue? Janet rapidly replayed her recent interaction with Brandon, _ scrutinizing his every understated gesture. After some time, she understood that Brandon had never directly acknowledged the origin of the issue.

She had prematurely assumed that Brandon was suffering a side effect from being drugged by Charis that could impact fertility.

Could she be the one grappling with fertility issue? This notion led to Janet’s knees buckling, and she tottered backward a few steps. "Watch your step!"

Johanna, fortunately, was swift enough to catch her before she tumbled.
