The next morning, Tessa was rudely awakened by the ringing of her phone. Still struggling to fight off the fog of sleep, Tessa pressed down on the connect button. Her voice was still thick with sleep when she said, "Hello, who is it?"
"Tessa, could you come to the hospital to see Zachary?"
Zion's voice echoed from the receiver, his words tinged with urgency. "Did you know that Zachary almost died?"
Annoyance pricked at Tessa's heart upon hearing Zachary's name. Last night was exhausting for her. She was rudely awoken before she got enough rest. She thought that something important might have happened, but the reason for her awakening turned out to be Zachary.
Tessa was beyond irritated, her temper flaring. She didn't bother hiding her irritation as she said, "If he dies, you're in charge of his corpse. Just let me know when the funeral is being held. Out of respect for his mother, I'll show up to see him off."
Tessa didn't bother waiting for Zion's response. She cut the call short and put her phone on silent mode.
Stephen had also been woken up by the commotion. They were under the covers together. Stephen tightened his grip on Tessa's hand and said in a raspy voice, "Sleep with me a little more."
Tessa nuzzled against Stephen's chest, giving off the impression of a clingy kitten. They were snuggled together under the same warm blanket, falling asleep in each other's arms. Only the two of them existed in their little world. No matter how much the snowstorm raged outside, it didn't concern them in the slightest.
…
Zachary had already been awake when Zion called Tessa. Zion had insisted on calling her and could guess what Zachary was thinking.
Zachary had been holding on to the last shred of unrealistic hope he had left. He wanted to know if Tessa would be worried about him if she found out that he had one foot in death's door. He wanted to know if Tessa would come and visit him.

The readers' comments on the novel: His Unveiled Passion
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
