Jonathan was stunned for a second when he heard the news. Then, without thinking, he shoved the
doctor out of the way and burst into Teresa’s room.
Teresa had just regained consciousness in her hospital room, and the first person she saw was Miriam.
Miriam clutched Teresa’s hand, her face streaked with tears of joy. “Teresa, you’re finally awake!”
Just as Miriam finished speaking, Jonathan pushed the door open and walked in, locking his gaze on Teresa. He hurriedly sat down on the other side of the bed and gave her a smile. “You’re awake. Are you feeling any discomfort?”
Teresa shook her head slightly. She wasn’t in pain, but she still seemed a bit out of it.
Jonathan didn’t care that Miriam was right there. He just couldn’t help himself and pulled Teresa into his arms. He was so overwhelmed with emotion that he couldn’t hold it in.
As he felt her warmth against him, his arms instinctively tightened around her. “Do you have idea
any how long you’ve been out? We were all scared to death for you,” A tear trickled from the corner of Jonathan’s eye.
Teresa was at a loss as Jonathan pulled her into his arms, still looking a little out of it. Miriam, standing beside her, patted Teresa’s shoulder and said, “Teresa, you had a premature birth. Thank goodness you’re alright now!”
Those words jolted Teresa back to her senses. She suddenly remembered that she had a premature birth. She suddenly pushed Jonathan away and blurted out anxiously, “Where’s our baby? Is the baby
okay?!”
“The baby’s in the incubator. He’s doing great,” Jonathan replied.
“Really?” Teresa asked, her voice still full of doubt.
Jonathan nodded firmly.
Miriam chimed in, “I can vouch for that too. The baby’s fine. Edward’s with Mike, watching over their baby brother. I’ll go get Mike now)”
As soon as Miriam left, Jonathan couldn’t stop himself and pulled Teresa into his arms again. It felt like only by holding her could he remember what it meant to be alive.
He hadn’t slept a wink in three days, but he didn’t feel tired at all. He was terrified that if he closed his eyes, he might lose her forever.

Chapter 956
Teresa’s breathing grew a little rapid as she gradually started to come to her senses. She remembered it was Yalena who caused her to go into labor early. If not for that, the baby wouldn’t have been due
for another two months.
And then Teresa thought of Lucas. She clutched Jonathan’s arm, almost frantic. “What about Lucas? Did you find him? Is he okay? Is he still alive?”
“We found him. He’s in stable condition now. The police did an injury assessment and determined he only suffered minor injuries. Right now, he’s recovering at Nareigh Hospital,” Jonathan replied.
Teresa shook her head in disbelief. “No. How could it just be minor injuries? Yalena got a bunch of guys to do such cruel things to him. There’s no way he’s just got minor injuries!” Teresa completely
lost it.
Jonathan pulled her into his arms, his heart aching for her. “What did Yalena tell you? Tell me, don’t be afraid. I swear, I won’t let anything happen to you or your brother.”
Teresa completely broke down, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. The photos Yalena had shown her, and every word she’d said, kept replaying in Teresa’s mind.
“The test must be wrong. There’s no way he only got off with minor injuries!” Teresa cried out. She
was so shattered that she couldn’t even bring herself to tell Jonathan the truth about what had happened to Lucas.
Jonathan knew all too well that if it were just some minor injuries, Teresa wouldn’t have been so
traumatized that she went into premature labor just because of something small. There had to be
something more to it.
He tried to soothe her. “Calm down, Teresa. According to the current test, your brother has soft tissue damage to his face, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and a fracture in his lower leg.
“I had Benny arrange for a second assessment, and the results were exactly the same.”
