Inside Jonathan’s Maybach , Teresa finally snapped out of it . With him , she felt completely safe . Sitting in the passenger seat , she fifted her hand to Ber forehead , tears streaming down her face . “ Thank God you got here . ”
Back in Nareigh , no one would ever dare mess with her like this . But this wasn’t Nareigh . Even that one time with Jonathan had only happened because she accidentally drank the wine Simona had drugged for him .
Here , in a strange city , she’d never run into people like this before . She figured with so many teachers around , Lysander wouldn’t dare try anything . But when he almost kissed her , she was terrified .
Jonathan drove with one hand , reaching over to grab Teresa’s cold hands . “ If I’d been a minute late , that old creep might’ve dragged you off to a hotel . I asked if you were being threatened , but you said nothing . Maybe now you’ll speak up ? ”
Teresa wanted to argue back , but she was too weak . Her whole body felt limp , and the heat inside her was getting out of control . Frustrated , she tugged at her collar . “ Not now . Get me to a hospital . That old creep drugged me . ”
Jonathan frowned , quickly typing the address into the GPS . “ The nearest hospital is fifteen kilometers away . I don’t even know if it’s open . ”
“ What ? Why is it so far ? ”
“ You think this is Nareigh . Even the closest hospital here isn’t a tertiary hospital ,” Jonathan replied .
“ Then what am I supposed to do ? I feel like I’m dying here , ” Teresa cried .
Seeing her flushed face and how uncomfortable she was , Jonathan swallowed hard and decided to find somewhere more secluded .
“ No. I need to go to the hospital , Jonathan . ” She was pregnant . So , no sex in the first three months . It was only early June ; she figured she still had about a week to go before hitting the three – month mark .
While she was thinking , Jonathan had pulled over somewhere quiet , turned off the engine , unbuckled his seatbelt , and got out to carry Teresa to the spacious back seat .
This time , Teresa struggled hard . All she wanted was for Jonathan to take her to the hospital .
“ Stop moving , ” Jonathan said , grabbing her wrists . He leaned in , kissed her , and whispered , “ Trust me , Teresa . I know what I’m doing . ”
Since Teresa wasn’t sure how long she’d be staying in Everport , Jonathan had already bought a spacious villa – over 500 square meters – near her place .
That morning , Teresa finally woke up . Through the glass , she saw her underwear and dress from last night , freshly washed and hanging on the balcony , fluttering in the breeze .
Jonathan wasn’t in the bedroom ; he was next door , finishing up the meeting he hadn’t wrapped up yesterday.
Once the meeting was over , he called his assistant and gave a few instructions : “ Buy a white Porsche , get Everport plates , and pick up a few extra fuel . cards . Have the car delivered today .” Then he hung up .
He went back to check on Teresa . She was awake , put hadn’t put on any clothes yet . When she saw Jonathan come in , she quickly pulled the blanket up over her head .
Jonathan couldn’t help but laugh . He tugged the blanket down and pinched her cheek . “ Still hurting ? Want me to carry you to the shower ? ”
Teresa shook her head and brushed his hand away , her mind finally clear . “ Thanks for last night . ”
Jonathan looked genuinely surprised . “ You’re actually thanking me ? That’s rare . Guess I must’ve taken pretty good care of you . ”

Teresa coughed awkwardly . “ It was … alright . ”
He raised an eyebrow . “ Just ‘ alright ‘ ? What’s that supposed to mean ? ” His hard slipped mischievously under the covers .
Teresa immediately surrendered . “ Okay , okay ! It was great ! ”
With obvious reluctance , Jonathan withdrew his hand . “ Get dressed . I bought you a Porsche . It’ll be here soon . Let’s go take it for a spin
Teresa was stunned for a few seconds . “ You don’t have to buy it for me . I can get it myself . ” She was just trying to save money , which was why she hadn’t splurged on a Porsche . But she never seemed to actually save much .
Jonathan said , “ I already bought it for you . From now on , just drive the Porsche to school . That way , those guys will see you’ve got money , so they’ll know you’re loaded and won’t dare mess with you . ”
No one understood men better than another man . Jonathan knew exactly how some guys operated . If a beautiful wornan looked like she had no money or power , they’d try to take advantage . But if she was rich and had status , they’d keep their distance .
“ I never thought about it that way , ” Teresa admitted . She just found riding a scooter more convenient than driving , and it saved money . She saved money to put into Michael’s education fund , and for the baby she was carrying now . Kids weren’t cheap .
Thinking of Michael , Teresa asked Jonathan , “ Did you pick up the little one ? ”
Jonathan nodded . “ I sent a driver to get him yesterday . He’s staying at the hotel now .
Teresa let out a sigh of relief . “ Thank you . If I lost the little guy , my friend would totally blame me . ”
Jonathan didn’t spare much thought for the child who wasn’t related to him by blood – his whole heart was focused on Teresa .
The morning light fell softly across her face , highlighting her delicate features . Even just waking up , she was beautiful . The image of her last night , nestled in his arms with tousled hair and rosy lips , lingered in his mind .
Jonathan buried his face against her , taking Teresa’s hand . “ Since I took such good care of you last night , don’t you think it’s your turn to look after me
now ? ”
