Chapter 659
Teresa said to Michael , “ I’m not here to see Jonathan , Stay in the car and heluve yourself , okay ? ”
Michael jumped out of the car when Teresa wasn’t looking . Garing up at her miserably , he said , “ Mommy , I just want to see Mr. Lime before leam . I mis him so much
Hearing what Michael said , Teresa’s eyes welled up with tears . When the was trying to figure out what to do , footsteps suddenly sounded behind her ,
“ Hey , ” Someone called out . Teresa instinctively pulled Michal closer , her gaze snapping towards the one approaching them , it was Gary who had just parked his car .
“ Good thing Jonathan gave me this car . It makes everything so much easier , Gary said . “ You’re here to confess to Jonathan , right ? Let’s go . Failure’s not an option this time ”
“ Forget it , ” Teresa said , “ trene’s up there too , and I don’t want Mike to meet her ?
“ Don’t worry about her , ” Gary said as he bent down and scooped Michael up in his arms . “ With Hayden here , what could she do ? ”
“ No , ” said Teresa firmly . At the thought of the homible faces Irene made to her , Teresa didn’t want to go in anymore . If Irene said something that might hurt Michael , she would go crazy . No one wanted her child to get hurt .
Despite the opposition from Teresa , Gary carried Michael upstairs .
“ Gary , stop right there and put Michael down , Teresa shouted as she caught up with Gary , who had already entered the elevator .
Gary sighed , “ What are y you afraid of ? With all of us here , what could possibly go wrong ? ”
“ But no ,” Teresa said firmly . “ You don’t know Irene like I do . No one knows if she would hurt Mike , I can’t take that risk . ”
“ Don’t be silly . Do you think trene would harm her grandson ? Oh , sorry . No offense . After all , you’re my sister – in – law , ” said Gary
Teresa retorted , “ Who is your sister – in – law ? I’m just your ex – sister – in – law . ”
Gary changed the subject . “ Before I came to the hospital , I asked Christian for the DNA test report .
All I have to do is tell Jonathan the test is real , but the names w Gary
were priced up . There was no way Jonathan wouldn’t figure out whose child it was , ” said
Teresa didn’t feel good about it . With Hayden and Irene here in the hospital , Teresa had an impending sense of doom .
The elevator doors slid open , and Gary walked out with Michael in his arms .
Snapping out of it , Teresa quickly followed after them .
in the ward , Jonathan was feeding Hayden , and Werner was
as there as well . Werner was with Hayden these days . Even though Hayden didn’t like him , he’d rather be here than return to his empty , lonely home ,
“ Grandpa , look who is here , ” Gary called out as he set Michael down beside him .
Hayden looked over as Jonathan put down the bowl and turned around slowly . He looked from Gary to Teresa and rose to his feet .
“ Mr. Lime ” Michael raced toward Jonathan .
With a beaming smile , Michael ran to Jonathan , clinging to one of his legs and looking up at him with anticipation . “ Mr. Lime , I missed you so much Tell ” me you feel the sa
Whenever Jonathan lated Michael , his heart would soften . He gently ruffled Michael’s hair and nodded .

“ Great . We had a real connection ,” said Michael enthusiastically
Michael nuzzled against Jonathan’s leg , his voice bubbling with excitement . “ Mr. Lime , I really miss you a lot and love you alo
Watching this scene , Gary was on the verge of tears , feeling a mixture of happiness and sadne
He thought , “ So this is what a tie of kinship feels like , I had craved it for so long as a child . And now , he alone could truly share what Michael lett
Teresa also felt her heart aching , especially when t she saw Hayden beckoning Michael over . Yet she didn’t stop him
Hayden beckoned to Michael and said kindly , “ Como here , kid . Let me look at you . ”
Hayden gazed tenderly at Michael’s face , clasping his hand affectionately .
Hayden smiled kindly and said , “ Dear , you’ve grown so much . Do you remember me ? Last New Year’s Day , you came to my house and had dinner with
me
Michael looked up at Hayden with his wide eyes and said , “ Of course , I do . You’re Grandpa Hayden . But why are you wearing a hospital gown ? Are you
sick ? ”
“ Oh , don’t worry I will get better soon ,” said Hayden softly
Gary chimed in , “ Grandpa , you’ve got it all wrong . How could Mike call you Grandpa ? ”
Hayden looked at Gary and said , “Then what should he call me ?
Gary was speechless . After a moment , he said , “ I didn’t mean it . The kid-
Gary was interrupted as the door suddenly swung open . Irene walked in with a woman in a green dress , Irene’s eyes swept over the crowd before locking on Teresa standing nearby .
“ What are you doing here again ? ” said Irene defiantly
The woman in the green dress asked Irene who she was . Upon learning it was Teresa , she smiled and greeted her , “ Ms. Johnston , you’re prettier than 1 imagined . I’m Yalena Kelly . ”
Hearing her name , Teresa remembered that Irene said Jonathan and Yalena were getting engaged .
Teresa was startled . She strode over to Jonathan and said calmly , rm taking Michael to Sherry’s . ”
Michael looked up at Teresa miserably , his little face full of reluctance . He didn’t want to leave .
As Teresa picked Michael up , Michael kept glancing back at Jonathan with a longing gaze , Gary sighed and was about to chase after them , but Jenathan had already moved .
trene grabbed Jonathan’s arm . “I forbid you to go . That woman has nothing to do with you now . And that child ? The DNA test proved he’s not your son . ”
of him . Let him pursue Teresa . She’s my only granddaughter – in – law . No one else counts , ” said Hayden ,
Hayden nearly sprang up from bed . “ Let go of
Once Irene released his arm , Jonathan dashed out immediately .
Yalena’s eyes darkened as she realized Jonathan had barely looked at her . That child and Jonathan looked alike , yet trene insisted the DNA test proved otherwise . She thought . There must be something wrong , I’ll get to the bottom of this ‘
Teresa had already stepped out of the elevator by the time Jonathan arrived .
Teresa settled Michael safely in the car and shut the door . “ I’m going back for my passport . I’ll be right back , ” said Teresa to Michael .
Jonathan took the escalator down to the basement floor . Teresa stopped dialing his number and said quickly , “ Perfect timing Where’s my passport ?

Give it to me right now
If it weren’t for her passport , she wouldn’t have set foot in this hospital .
“ Give it to you right now ? Can’t wait to run away ? ” said Jonathan coldly
Teresa said , “ It’s none
ne of your business. ”
Jonathan smirked and thought , “ One w
word from me and she’s already growing a backbone ”
Noticing Teresa was kind of nervous , Jonathan hesitated before saying . “ The woman in the ward just now
“ Save it . I don’t care who she is , ” interrupted Teress .
“ I won’t bother explaining , ” Jonathan said , pulling her passport from his packet . Teresa snatched it from him and immediately turned to leave
Jonathan called out . “ Wait ”
Teresa was startled without turning around ,
