Built His Empire Then Watched It Burn When He Cheated novel Chapter 615

The car was very quiet. Zane's voice came through clearly, and Jessica heard every word even with her eyes closed.

Her lashes fluttered. A bitter, self-mocking smile tugged at the corner of her dark, pale lips.

Not the type to quietly take losses?

So even though he knew she was missing, he wasn't worried at all.

No, it wasn't that he didn't know how to worry. When he heard that his grandma had fallen, he had acted right away.

In the end, it was simple. Jessica had never truly mattered to him.

"She can't talk right now. I'm hanging up," Jonathan said, then ended the call.

The car fell into silence.

At ten thousand meters in the air, Zane frowned slightly. He lowered the phone and looked at the ended call.

"What a temper," he said.

He spun the phone in his palm twice and didn't think much of it.

Since she had been found, she had to be with Anneliese now.

Jonathan stayed glued to Anneliese. With that couple around, Jessica should be fine.

Still, before putting his phone away, he opened WhatsApp and sent Jonathan a message, 'Help me look after her,'

Jonathan tapped a quick reply, 'I only look after my own woman. Come back and take care of her yourself. If you don't, you'll regret it.'

Right after Jonathan sent it, the back of his seat was kicked, not lightly and not too hard.

He felt the clear pressure from Anneliese behind him. He shut off the screen at once, spun the phone in his hand, and slipped it into the inner pocket of his suit.

Anneliese noticed Jessica's hand was soaked with cold sweat. Her face had turned even paler. Anneliese urged Zion right away.

"Zion, can you go faster?"

Zion looked back. When he saw Jessica's tightly shut eyes and the cold sweat covering her head, he was startled.

"Okay," he said.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the hospital. One of Jessica's hands pressed against her stomach. The other clutched Anneliese's hand tightly.

"Baby… Anne, my baby…"

The pain suddenly worsened. Anneliese panicked and rushed to comfort her.

"Don't worry. I know. The doctors will save the baby."

Jessica was rushed into the emergency room. Only then did Anneliese's tears fall.

Jonathan wrapped an arm around her.

"You're getting slick with your words now."

Before she could finish, Jonathan lowered his head and kissed her lips twice.

"What are you doing?!"

Nurses and patients were passing by nearby. Anneliese pushed him away in a hurry.

Jonathan laughed softly.

"I'm just proving that I'm not all talk. Everything I said is true."

Anneliese didn't know what to say.

She suspected he had been attending some kind of husband-training class these past few days.

Sweet words kept slipping out of his mouth, and she could not handle it at all.

She lightly twisted his arm in warning and changed the topic.

"Gianna did something like this. She relied on the Malone family for everything. Will Steven protect her?"

Jonathan pulled Anneliese into his arms.

"Steven has his own standards for how he handles things. He reached his position at such a young age because he's strict with himself and keeps his family in check. The Malone family cares about their reputation. As the next head of the family, even if he dotes on Gianna, he won't let her act however she wants."
