Teresa instinctively touched her belly Could it already be she wondered anviously Still holding onto a siryer of hope, the told Jonathan that she needed to take care of her mother and asked him to leave
Jonathan sighed and suddenly scooped her up in his arms. Despite her struggles and confusion, he cared her to his car opened the passenger door, and placed her inside.
He then removed her shoes and realized that she wasn’t wearing socks. Her feet we slightly blue from the cold, and her heels were rubbed raw and red, causing him to frown
Jonathan grumbled, “Every time I say something you don’t like, you run off faster than a rocket! And this time, you even ran out barefoot Won’t others think you’re crazy?“.
Teresa turned her face away, her voice muffled “None of your business
Jonathan snorted. “With how fast you ran, how did your feet still get cold?”
Teresa replied nothing.
Jonathan took out a medicated cream from his coat, unwrapped it, and began applying it to Teresa’s feet. He had come to the hospital partly to check on her mom and see if there was anything he could help with.
Additionally, he was also worried about her, wondering if her feet were injured from running out barefoot, how she was doing, and if she had any side effects from taking the contraceptive pills.
He was worried sick, even though Benny had told him not to come. In truth, he had arrived for some time but hadn’t gone
- up.
After applying the medicated cream, Jonathan brought over the boots she had left earlier. He helped her put on socks and then helped her into the boots.
Teresa’s eyes suddenly turned red. Seeing him frown reminded her of their newlywed days; he’d come home from work on cold winter nights and warm her icy feet in his lap.
Teresa wiped a tear from her eye, but Jonathan didn’t notice the fleeting look of affection. He only saw her pale face as if she might faint at any moment and couldn’t resist pulling her into his arms. She tried to push him away, but he held her tighter.
“When your grandpa and grandma passed away, I wasn’t there with you. When your sister had her accident, I wasn’t there either. At least… let me be here this time,” he said.
Teresa’s voice was choked with emotion. “When you called me, I thought my mom wouldn’t make it. Seeing her like that for the first time, I didn’t know who I could rely on. But I knew I couldn’t rely on you.”
Jonathan asked, “Why can’t you rely on me?”
“We’re divorced, Teresa said numbly in his arms. “Don’t you hate me?”
Jonathan slowly released her. “Hate you for what?”
Teresa explained, “Last night, I could have been pregnant, but I took the contraceptive pills. I killed your child again.”
He continued, “Tve never met a woman as heartless as you. Two years of marriage, and all you said was you didn’t love me.
Jonathan sighed, unable to understand why she brought up someone who had passed away again. He changed the topic and said helplessly. “If you don’t want to come to my place, just nap in my car first, then go back to look after your mom”
Meanwhile, in the hospital room, Jennifer carried Michael back from Donald’s break room. Donald asked her with concern if her mom was okay.
