Chapter 1298


    But Zorion had a different opinion, as he tended to exaggerate whatever that had to do with Rossie.


    In fact, the most serious thing Zorion encountered was the kick from Santiago.


    The doctor had asked him to stay in the hospital, to which Zorion refused, saying that he was fine.


    After taking some supplements and injections, he walked out, looking nonchnt.


    Rossie could see why Zorion was in a hurry to leave, as he was worried about Deanna. When she


    was at home, she heard them quarrel. Zorion had urged her to terminate the pregnancy, but


    Deanna, reluctant as she was, had cried.


    Rossie stared at Deanna, who was curled up in Jacky''s embrace like a little bunny. She then looked


    at Zorion, who was sitting at the side, his expression gloomy. His anger was going to be the death of


    him. The sister who, he had worked so hard to take care of was currently fighting against him while


    being held in another man''s embrace. He would do anything for Deanna, but she didn''t appreciate it


    at all.


    Rossie didn''t know whether it was his karma. After all, he was not good to her, and in turn, his sister


    was not good to him.


    Rossie looked at them for a while and leaned against the side. She tugged at her jacket and


    narrowed her eyes, a wave of drowsiness ebbing and flowing.


    Zorion looked at the woman in a coat beside him. Who could understand the deste feeling in his


    heart?


    "Are you sleepy?" Zorion whispered in Rossie''s ear. The doctor had said that Rossie was very


    fragile then. He reminded her to take care of herself and refrain from exerting herself. She was like


    a sheet of ss that would break upon the slightest touch.


    With her eyes still screwed shut, Rossie softly hummed in reply. Zorion pulled her over and adjusted


    the coat on Rossie''s shoulders. "Catch some shut-eye. We''ll go back shortly."


    Santiago and Jepherson stared at the pair. Deanna was still burrowing into Jacky''s embrace and did


    not intend toe out.


    Jacky was also currently clinging on to Deanna. Even though he had already calmed down a little,


    his heart was gued with hatred towards Zorion. The fact that he wanted to hurt his lover and child


    waspletely uneptable.


    No one could hurt her and their child. Not even Zorion.


    "Deanna." Jepherson took a few steps forward. Deanna lifted her head to look at him. Her way of


    thinking meant that Jepherson remained a trustworthy figure.


    Jepherson squatted down and said, "Deanna, I have something to tell you. I can guarantee that you


    will be safe after you go home, and the child will be healthy, but you have to go home."


    "No, I''m not going back. My brother will harm the baby." Deanna hastily covered her belly with her


    hands. Jacky also hugged her tightly. "Jepherson, I know you''re trying to do this for me, but..."


    Jepherson raised his eyes and stared at Jacky. "I''ll tell you thister, but Deanna has to go back."


    "We''re not going back." Before Jacky could say anything, Deanna shouted first, but then her yells


    came to a halt. She raised her head to look at Jacky. Jacky hugged Deanna and looked at


    Jepherson. "Why are you so opposed to me and Deanna being together? What did I do wrong? Just


    because my status isn''t as reputable as yours?"


    "No, it has nothing to do with this. Although the Whalen family is rich and powerful, Mr. Whalen is


    not the "money talks" kind of person. The problem is..."


    "Santiago."


    Jepherson turned around to look at Santiago. Even though he was a little reluctant, he still walked


    over to Deanna.


    Jacky''s face darkened. "What are you guys up to?"


    Jepherson remained in a squatting position. "Do you believe me?"


    Jacky''s brows furrowed. "I only trust Santiago."


    "Great. Santiago, promise him that Deanna will be safe and sound."


    Santiago stood to one side and gave Zorion an impatient look. He then looked at Jacky. "Deanna


    will be fine. She''s in good hands. Go with him, he has something to say to you."


    Santiago darted his eyes towards Jepherson. Only then did Jacky think about it. He looked at


    Deanna and said, "Deanna, I believe in Santiago. What about you?"


    Deanna looked at Santiago. She then blinked and nodded.


    "I''ll go with him. Wait for me," said Jacky.


    Deanna nodded and the two got up slowly and separated from each other. Immediately, Deanna hid


    behind Santiago.


    "Babe, pleasee back soon."


    Deanna was very dependent on Jacky right then. She couldn''t leave him at all. Zorion clenched his


    fists and stared at Jacky, and a fierce gleam shed in his eyes for a fraction of the moment.


    "I know. Just calm down. You''re in a bad mood and it''s not good for our child." Jacky kissed


    Deanna. She hurriedly nodded and ced her hand on her belly. Only then did Jacky look at


    Jepherson, who was squatting on the ground. Jepherson stood up and looked at both Santiago and


    Zorion. "Before I return, no one is allowed to mess around. Otherwise, you''ll have to bear the


    consequences."


    No one spoke. Jepherson turned around and nced at Jacky. "C''mon."


    Jepherson walked over and entered the elevator, with Jacky at his heels. With the door of the


    elevator closing, Jacky asked, "What is it you want to say?"


    Jepherson nced at him. "Some time ago, Deanna was kidnapped and her reputation was ruined.


    Now, you made her pregnant. If word gets out, do you know what the public will think of her?"


    Jacky lowered his eyes and did not reply. He stared at Jepherson.


    Jepherson continued, "Apart from me and Santiago, Zorion has never allowed any man toe


    into contact with her. You are an exception. Do you know what it means?"


    Jacky frowned. "That he approves of me?" "Mr. Whalen isn''t a fool, and neither is Zorion. The apple


    doesn''t fall far from the tree. It wasn''t a coincidence that the Whalen family could be where they are


    today, nor was it luck. Mr. Whalen and Zorion don''t intend for Deanna to marry me, because they


    know that a hard life is in store for the matriarch of the Richards family."


    "As a wise man said, there is a price to be paid for greatness."


    "Being my wife is tantamount to subjecting herself to hardship. Fine, the happiness maye after


    the bitterness, but in its wake, she will have to bear a lot of distressing memories.


    "Mr. Whalen felt that Deanna was not suitable for me. I only treated her like my younger sister."


    "As for Zorion, he hated it more when Deanna was to marry me. He knew that being a matriarch in


    my family would be a very hard task, and I really didn''t love Deanna romantically."


    "But..."


    "Zorion has his eyes set on Santiago. He wants her to marry him."


    "Why?" Jacky asked.


    "Santiago is just like you. Although there was nothing special, the both of you were born with kind


    hearts. Zorion is very good at judging people, and he thinks that Santiago matches her well."


    "But Santiago is too young, and just like me, he regarded her as his family. He didn''t have those


    kinds of feelings."


    "And you, you''re an ident. So, when you first showed up, Zorion did not intend to do anything to


    you and still let Deanna meet you."


    "But now that you got Deanna pregnant, she will be discriminated against by society. With your


    current status, everyone will think that she is married to you because she had been defiled, with an


    illegitimate child in tow."


    Jacky frowned and tried to exit the elevator but the elevator button had already been pressed


    several times by Jepherson.


    "What I gathered from you is that I could have rightfully been the Whalen family''s son-inw, but


    because I got Deanna pregnant, and that I ruined her reputation, the Whalen family wouldn''t let me


    marry her?"


    Jackyughed, and threw his arms in the air.


    Jepherson nced at him. "Have you gone soft in the head?"All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.
