Evan's POV

"The good news: Miss Blackman and the baby are both okay. We've managed to stop the bleeding; but, the bad news is, she lost a great deal of blood. The silver lining is, in time of pregnancy, a woman's body produces enough red blood cells for the growing and developing fetus, so the body is practically healing itself. You're very lucky," the doctor said.

I exhaled heavily, as if I had been holding in my breath forever.

Thank you Jesus.

"Is she awake?" I wanted to see her.

"Yes."

He ushered us to room 207, where Jasmine was wide awake and looking at the television.

"She's one tough cookie," the doctor whispered, "but please don't make her upset or say anything to her that would cause her to become distressed. The baby's condition is still very fragile. We'd like her to remain here for three days for further observation."

"We understand," we replied and nodded.

"I'll let the two of you go in first then I'll go," I said to Zenia and Susan and stepped aside. I wanted to give them their privacy with her, and I needed to pray some more.

After fifteen minutes, Susan and Zenia came over to get me.

"Here," I said as I placed a key into Susan's hand.

"What's this?"

"It's a key to one of my penthouse. I wouldn't be comfortable if you returned back to the apartment and the culprit hasn't been caught as yet. My penthouse has one of the best security systems, so I know you two would definitely be safe there."

"Thank you. Thank you so much," Susan said and pulled me into one of the biggest hugs I'd ever had in my life.

"You're welcome."

I had Fisher come to pick them up and drop them off at the penthouse while I stayed with Jasmine.

For the first time since the pregnancy, she had been talking and laughing with me on a friendly level. I didn't know if it was the painkillers or medication that had that effect on her, but she was in the best of moods I had ever seen. I almost missed having her in my life everyday.

Zenia's POV

Evan's personal driver pulled the car into a parking lot of a big hotel.

"He also wanted me to tell you that it's free of cost, so you don't have to worry about anything. You can stay as long as you'd like.copy right hot novel pub
