The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 637

"What if he wants you to abort the baby?" Chloe asked, her voice laced with concern.

She had already fallen out with Steven. Jessica's unborn child was her last lifeline. No matter what, Jessica had to carry this baby to term—she couldn't allow anything to happen to it.

Jessica understood Chloe's attachment to the baby. Feigning distress, she choked, "Then, I'll have to abort the baby. Consider it my punishment for rashly forcing Steven to get a vasectomy.

"If I hadn't been so desperate to secure the child's future, you wouldn't have pressured Steven. It's all my fault. I should face the consequences of my actions!"

"Absolutely not. I won't allow it," Chloe demanded.

Jessica asked pitifully, "But Steven's already angry. What else can I do to make him forgive me?"

Chloe took a deep breath. "You're pregnant. Focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. Don't overthink things. I'll handle the rest. Trust me, I'll do everything I can to reconcile your relationship with him."

Jessica had successfully shifted the responsibility. She was relieved but still tried to sound upset. "Okay."

Chloe instructed, "Go to the hospital first. I'll go to Steven's house."

"All right," Jessica replied meekly.

Chloe added, "If Steven doesn't show up, just go home. Don't do anything rash."
