Zion knew Elizabeth had angered Jonathan because of his connection to Anneliese.
Jonathan's voice was cold. "It better not be him."
He was almost certain Zacharias was involved.
Otherwise, how could it be a coincidence that Zacharias ran into Anneliese at the hospital, mistakenly thought she was pregnant, and Grandma became agitated right after?
The threat in Jonathan's voice made Zion worry for Zacharias' safety.
…
That day, Nishay didn't eat at all.
By evening, a nurse brought out the untouched tray again. Anneliese took it and knocked before entering the room.
Nishay lay in bed, eyes closed under her blanket.
Anneliese set down the tray and spoke softly. "Grandma, I've already broken up with him. Please get up and eat."
She'd pleaded with her grandmother at noon but got no response.
Jessica had tried too, but nothing worked.
Now, hearing that Anneliese had broken up, Nishay finally opened her eyes.
"Really?"
Anneliese nodded.
Nishay moved, and Anneliese felt a small relief.
She quickly helped her sit up. Once seated, Nishay reached out. "Give me your phone."
Anneliese froze. She hesitated at her grandmother's pale face but handed over the phone. "Are you calling someone?"
Nishay stared at the phone. "Unlock it."
Anneliese unlocked her phone and handed it over. Nishay opened the contacts. The first was Jonathan, saved as 'Hubby.'
Her gaze lingered on the name, her expression darkening.
Nishay's fingers shook as she tried to block Jonathan, her intention clear.
