Chapter 358 Her Child Melanie walked directly into the womenâs changing room, leaving behind a stern remark at the door.
âI wonât have an appetite with you around!â
With a slam, the door closed, and Jeffrey sighed. He turned around and gave some instructions to William. William quickly acknowledged them, and went downstairs to handle matters.
Soon, the limping Annie received the message and went to the hotel entrance to meet Melanie and bring her back to the room.
They ordered room service, and had a simple meal in the room. Melanie began to feel a bit better after eating.
During the meal, Annieâs phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and saw a message from an unknown number.
Initially, she didnât pay much attention, but then she caught the first line of the message, âConcerns Melanieâs life. Stay silent and quickly return the call!â
Suddenly, her eyes widened. She tightly gripped the phone.
âWhatâs wrong?â Melanie asked subconsciously.
âNâNothing. I need to make a call.â
4 Annie hurriedly walked away with her phone. In a quiet place, she cautiously looked at the message again. Her heart pounded, and without much thought, she dialed the number that sent the message.
The call connected quickly, and Jeffreyâs voice came through. âIâm Jeffrey. Is Melanie with you now? Find a place where she canât hear to talk. I need your help with something.â
Annie was furious. âPresident Morgan, are you playing tricks on me?â
âNo.â
âGood! Melanie doesnât want to hear about you, and I have no reason to contact you. Donât look for me in the future!â
Annie was about to hang up the phone when Jeffreyâs voice came again from the other side.
âMelanie might be pregnant!â
âWhat?â Annie immediately pressed the phone tightly to her ear. âWhat did you say?â
âMelanie hasnât been feeling well lately, and she has no appetite either. Has this been going on for many days? I need you to come up with an excuse to take her to the hospital for a checkâup.â Jeffrey listed the evidence.
Annie frowned. When she thought about it, Melanie didnât have an appetite lately, and even experienced +15 BONUS âAs you know, Melanieâs body is special. If sheâs pregnant, itâll be more difficult for her compared to an ordinary pregnant woman.
I want to be prepared in advance.â
âI know.â
Annie was obliged to help when it came to Melanieâs health. After agreeing, she suddenly thought of something, and asked, âWhat do you plan to do if sheâs really pregnant?â
After a short pause. Jeffrey said firmly, âI will take responsibility for her.â
âShe doesnât need your responsibility. She can raise the child herself, and I can help her too!â Annie snarled.
She was resolute, not giving Jeffrey a chance to explain.
âShe will never marry someone insincere just for the sake of a child. Even if sheâs pregnant, she wonât! Are you asking me to check if sheâs pregnant because you can arrange for a doctor to abort her child?â
Annieâs suspicion left Jeffrey momentarily speechless.
In the eyes of Melanieâs friends, he was such a bastard...
After a pause, he answered, âIf I wanted to abort the child, I wouldnât have needed to trouble you.â
Annie thought about it, and felt that there was some truth to his words. With Jeffreyâs power, it would be effortless to abort an unwanted child...
âSo please help.â Jeffrey tried to be as humble as possible.
âAfter the examination, what do you plan to do?â Annie asked again.
âI will know the results of the examination immediately. As for whether sheâs willing to tell me or not, I wonât force her. You can help me keep it a secret from her. Everything will be up to her. I just want her to be taken care of.â
Jeffreyâs sincerity temporarily convinced Annie. She pursed her lips, and said, âAlright, but donât provoke Melanie. If you dare to make her sad again, Iâll be the first one to kill you.â
âOkay.â
After Annie hung up the phone and returned, Melanie pretended to scrutinize her, making her feel guilty.
âWhy are you looking at me like this?â
âWho did you call?â
âNâNo one...â Annie sat down shakily.
Melanie stared at her sternly. âWhoâs no one?â
Annie felt defeated.
Just as she had made up her mind to keep it a secret, the protagonist suspected her. At this moment, she could only go all out and say something else to divert Melanieâs attention.
âIn fact... I had a romantic encounter...â Annie said through gritted teeth.
âYouâve only been here for a few days, right?â Melanie raised her eyebrows. âCould it be...?â
