Miriam was even more dumbfounded. She couldnโt believe there were actually two idiots here, and the second one was her own boyfriend.
Jonathan figured Teresa just didnโt want to make a scene or cause trouble between the families, so she put up with Irene.
She was proud and competitive, always bottling everything up and refusing to talk about it. It never even crossed his mind that it might have anything to do with him because, in his heart, heโd already decided Teresa didnโt love him anyway.
Miriam was too fed up to say anything else. She just silently cursed Jonathan in her mind.
โAnyway, just so you know, as soon as Teresa wakes up, Iโm taking her away. Weโre going back to Nareigh, and Iโll help her raise the baby. You can just stay out of it and keep your distance,โ Miriam said firmly.
โThatโs not happening.โ Jonathan wasnโt about to just let Miriam talk to him like that. There was no way she was taking the baby away, and there was no way he was letting Teresa raise the baby on her own.
And as for Teresa, there was no way heโd let Miriam take her away. โI wonโt let her get hurt again,โ Jonathan said firmly.
โYeah, like she could hurt her again. Even if you wanted to, you wonโt get the chance. Teresaโs done having kids with you anyway,โ Miriam shot back.
But no matter what Miriam said, Jonathan wasnโt backing down. He was staying right there by Teresaโs side.
Edward tugged on Miriamโs hand. โHoney, Iโm starving. Letโs go grab something to-โ
But Miriam wasnโt budging. โIโm staying right here with Teresa. Iโm not leaving until she wakes up. You go get me some food, and Iโll eat it here.โ
Edward clicked his tongue. โJeez, canโt you give Jonathan a little space?โ
โNo way.โ She was still fuming. She was determined that when Teresa finally woke up, the very first person sheโd see would be herโMiriam.
Everyone just stood there, not budging an inch. Eventually, Miriam just couldnโt hold it anymore and had to go to the restroom, so she finally left with Edward.
Chapter 951
Jonathan kept his eyes fixed on Teresa, carefully wiping her face with a fresh handkerchief. Three days had passed, and she still wasnโt waking up. As long as Teresa was out cold, there was no way Jonathan could get a wink of sleep.
Behind him, a soft, whimpering little voice called out, โMr. Daddy Lime.โ
Gary had brought Michael over. โJonathan, why donโt you go get some rest and grab something to eat?โ Gary suggested.
โYou go ahead. Iโm not hungry,โ Jonathan replied.
โAlright, Iโll go eat then. Iโll come back later to pick up Mike,โ Gary said, turning to leave.
Jonathan took Michaelโs little hand and gently told him, โBe good, donโt touch Mommy, okay?โ
Michael rubbed his eyes, looking worried. โDaddy, why is Mommy still sleeping? Is she hurt? Did the queen put a curse on her? I donโt want her to turn into Sleeping Beauty!โ
โOf course not,โ Jonathan said, wiping away Michaelโs tears with his finger. โSheโll wake up soon.โ
โReally?โ Michaelโs eyes lit up with hope.
But before his words had even faded, Teresaโs hands suddenly twitched on the bed. She broke out in a cold sweat, her hands moving as she cried out, mumbling something in distress.
Jonathan hurriedly leaned in, anxious to catch what she was saying. โThe babyโฆ my babyโฆ Lucasโฆโ
Teresa called out weakly.
Jonathan held onto Teresaโs hand, his heart sinking as he realized she was calling out for everyone except him.
Michael clung to Teresaโs other hand, pressing his little face against hers. โMommy. Mommy, itโs me, Mike!โ
โIโll go get the doctor!โ Jonathan dashed out of the room, but just as he let go and turned away, he heard Teresa murmur, โJonathanโฆโ
