Chapter 657
Teresa didn’t notice Jonathan’s car all the wory
Teresa drove into the residential complex while Jonathan stopped his car at the entrance,
He watched Teresa step out of the car with her purchases and shut the car door.
Lost in her thoughts, Teresa didn’t notice the passport slipping from her pocket.
Watching her enter the building, Jonathan got out of the car. He picked up her passport and flipped it open. When he saw her face in the photo, he frowned
Where is she going? Jonathan wondered.
Only when the phone ring did Jonathan react. He answered it.
Hayden snapped, “You brat, I told you to come to the hospital as soon as possible. What’s taking you so long!”
“Something came up on the way,” said Jonathan carelessly.

“Come here now. Torosa came to see me with loads of gifts and flowers. Guess what? I just found an expensive gift inside the bouquet. I have no
what it is. You’d better come check it out.”
Jonathan’s frown deepened.
Jonathan said, “I’m on my way.”
Jonathan put Teresa’s passport into his cat
Teresa found her passport missing when she got home. Frantically, she searched through the bags, but it was nowhere to be found.
on the windowsill, called out excitedly. “Mommy, look. That’s Mr. Lime’s car.”
Michael, leaning on
Teresa was startled. By the time she looked in the direction Michael was pointing all she could see were the car’s taillights disappearing.
Jonathan? What was he doing here? Why did he leave? Teresa wondered.
Without another thought, Teresa rushed downstairs to look for her passport. She thought, must have let it in the car.”
Teresa searched every corner of the car, but her passport was nowhere to be found. A passing elderly janitor said, “I saw a tall man holding a passport get
into a car”
That tall guy must be Jonathan. After all, Michael saw his car too, Teresa thought.
Teresa had no choice but to dial his number, though calling him was the last thing she wanted to do
Jonathan’s deep, magnetic voice came through. “Hello?” Teresa’s heart skipped a beat, but she quickly steadied herself.
“Did you pick up my passport?” she asked, trying to keep her tone steady.
“Where are you going?” asked Jonathan,

Teresa didn’t want to argue with him. Cutting straight to the point, she said, “Just give it back. My ID card is fucked inside too
“Come get it yourself” Jonathan hung up
Teresa was speechless. “How could he hang up so quickly?
Where on earth am I supposed to get it? Teresa wondered,
Reluctantly, Teresa called Jonathan again.
“So where am I supposed to get it?” ventured Teresa.
“Hospital,” Jonathan replied and hung up again.
Teresa was speechless.
Teresa thought, if only Miriam were here, I could ask her to pick it up for me. I really don’t want to go to the hospital, especially after the argument with Irene. How about calling Jenniler? No, that’s absolutely impossible
‘Not long ago, I slapped Jennifer, I’ve made up my mind I’ll never ask her for help again.
‘Then I have no choice but to make the trip myself!
When Teresa pulled into the hospital parking lot and was about to get out, she suddenly spotted Michael lying across the back seat.
Startled, Teresa exclaimed, “Michael, did you sneak into the car while I wasn’t looking?”
“Yeah, mommy, you’re so clever,” said Michael.
Michael leaned in and gave Teresa a peck on the check, his eyes twinkling with excitement. “Mommy, did you come to see Mr. Lime? I miss Mr. Lime so
