Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 617

"Baby, you're going to turn into a little old lady."

She felt a gentle pressure between her brows.

Jonathan's voice stayed calm and steady. His thumb brushed over her forehead as he smoothed out the deep crease there.

Anneliese felt his mood steady. The tight ache in her nerves finally began to ease. She let out a soft breath.

He rubbed her forehead as he mentioned, "There's great news too. Grandma didn't have an episode this time, and she didn't scold me either."

She nodded. "You're pretty optimistic, you know."

The corner of Jonathan's lips lifted. "Maybe I still have my trump card."

She watched him and couldn't tell whether he truly had a plan or only acted calm to comfort her. Either way, her emotions fully settled.

She curved her lips into a small smile and rose on her toes to kiss his chin. "Good luck, hubby."

That gentle and innocent kiss still stirred him. He reached out to pull her closer by the waist.

…

At that moment, the door to the emergency room opened.

Anneliese quickly grabbed Jonathan's hand and walked over.

"Doctor, how is my friend?" she said.

"It was a threatened miscarriage. We already gave her a shot to help protect the pregnancy. She's stable for now. She needs to stay in the hospital for three days so we can keep an eye on her.

"The most important thing is that she stays calm. She can't get upset again, and she really needs to stop overthinking and worrying."

When Anneliese heard that the baby was safe, she finally relaxed. "Thank you, doctor. When can my friend come out?" she asked.

"She can be moved to the ward right away," the doctor replied and left.

…

Jessica was then pushed out in less than two minutes. She was awake, but her face still looked pale.

Anneliese held Jessica's hand. "The baby is fine. Don't worry."
