Chapter 8:
The assistant carefully pushed open the study door and placed a file before Jonathan. “Madam boarded a flight to the U.S. three days 000.
Jonathan shot to his feet. His chair screeched sharply against the floor
He snatched the file, his fingers turning pale from how tightly he gripped it.
The photo showed me wearing sunglasses, my face pale and almost translucent and a bandage wrapped around my slender wrist.
“Get the jet ready. We’re going to the airport now” His voice was low and urgent as he turned to grab his coat.
“But what about the company, Sir?”
“I said now!” Jonathan cut off his assistant’s words with a furious roar, his eyes dangerously dark.!!
The assistant didn’t dare say another word and rushed off to make the arrangements R
Jonathan strode toward the walk–in closet, grabbing a few pieces of clothing and shoving them into a suitcase. “Jonathan Wendy approached slowly, reaching out as if to help him pack.
“Are you going to find your wife?“%
He turned slightly to avoid her touch and kept throwing clothes into th
the suitcasel
“What’s wrong??!
“I’m just worried about you.” Wendy bit her lip, her voice catching in her throat
“Don’t worry about me. Just stay home and take care of yourself, Jonathan said without looking up,
his t
tone icy.
Wendy suddenly hugged him from behind, pressing her cheek against his back
“Jonathan, I know you’re hurting, but please look at me?”
Tve been by your side for the past six months. You know how I feel about you. I don’t believe you have any feelings for me at all.” Jonathan’s body visibly stiffened, but he didn’t push her away.
Wendy continued softly

“I know you still love her, but it’s okay. I’m willing to rest of your life?”
“Enough!” Jonathan finally turned around, his gaze sharp.
Wendy didn t back down, tilting her head to meet his eyes. I know you can’t let her go, but she’s already gone, Jonathan. She left the Zanders. She didn’t want you
She gently cradled her belly. “But we have a child now. This is your flesh and blood!”
“This child
Jonathan’s eyes turned icy. “Don’t forget, just because she’s in your workb doesn’t mean she has anything to do with you once she’s born.” “Jonathan!” Tears streamed down Wendy’s face. “How can you say that? I truly love you…”
“Love?” Jonathan sneered as he shook her off. “What you love is the title of Mrs. Zander. What you love is the Zander Family’s money.” “Don’t forget your place. You’re just carrying Daphne’s child, but you’ll never be able to replace her. The only Mrs. Zander will always be her.
I understand,” Wendy whispered, her voice as soft as a feather. “1 overestimated myself…”
Jonathan zipped up the suitcase and walked out without a single glance back.
Just as he was about to leave the door a dull thud was behind him.
“Wendy?” He frowned and turned back, only to see Wendy collapsed on the floor, her eyes tightly shut.
“Damn it!” he cursed, throwing down his luggage. His face was stormy, but he still scooped the woman up and rushed out.
“Don’t worry about me.” Wendy’s voice was barely a whisper. “Jonathan, go find her. The baby… the baby will be fine.”
Her words pierced Jonathan’s heart like needles.)
He looked down at the woman in his arms. She was still thinking about the child
“Shut up,” he barked, but his steps grew quicker
Downstairs, the driver was already waiting with the car
Jonathan carefully placed Wendy in the back seat and roared at the driver, “To the nearest hospitall Hurry!”
