She seldom stayed with her father and didn't feel anything wrong. But now, looking at her father's back,
Melinda suddenly found that she seemed not to be a good daughter.
Jonas stood beside her and read out the guilt and sadness in her eyes. He held her more tightly in his
arms.
"Let's visit Dad together more often from now on," Jonas comforted her. While Melinda raised her eyes
to look at Jonas, and he found that her eyes were filled with tears somehow.
Looking at her like this, Jonas was very nervous. Vern seemed to feel that and turned around to look at
them.
"A daughter will get married when she grows up. Don't cry," he said and pretended to be fierce. Tears
rolled down from Melinda's eyes uncontrollably. She instantly broke away from the arms of Jonas and
ran to her father.
"Dad."
Vern didn't know what to do seeing her choking with sobs and acting like a spoiled child. Worrying that
she might change her mind, Jonas walked up to her and held her in his arms.
"Linda, your father will feel sad if you continue to be like this," Jonas whispered in Melinda's ear.
With her misty eyes and knitted brows, Melinda looked at her father. Vern seemed to control some kind
of emotion. It was not until then did she find that her crying made her father feel even worse.
"Jonas, don't let her look back." Looking at Jonas, Vern said. His daughter had already been married,
but he was still reluctant to leave her.
This was the stubbornness of an old father. Jonas left with Melinda at last, and both of them hoped that
the child of them would not be a girl.
It didn't mean that they preferred sons to daughters. But this made Jonas feel so sad. He tried to think
in the position of Vern. He thought that a daughter was better not to get married because he could
afford her anyway.
Melinda was in a very low mood. After getting on the car, she did not say a word. She just quietly
leaned against the back of the chair and looked at the scenery outside the window.
When she was a child, she only felt a lump in her throat when she read those people's story. Now she
could feel that it was full of complexity.
"Linda, grandpa is waiting for us at home," Jonas said with a smile, reaching out and holding Melinda's
hands. His body temperature was relatively low, but her fingers are even colder than his.
"I'm fine,"
Melinda said. She withdrew her hands from his. She devoted herself into a new family regardless of all
consequences only because she loved the one by her side, but after she got injured all over the body.
She was more greedy for the selfless love of her father.
After all, she was not a child. She knew that what her father did was for her good, but seeing clearly
was one thing and doing was another.
At that moment, Melinda needed to keep quiet. Pursing his lips, Jonas focused on driving without
saying anything.
At the same time, on the street not far away, an aggressive sports car was driving fast, and the person
who was driving it was Emily.
Jerry told her a news just now, and the Gu family was preparing to welcome Melinda. She promised to
go back to the Gu's mansion, and Jonas himself went to pick her up.
She stared at the road in front of her. Emily was taking the nearest path, so she was sure that she
could block Jonas at a certain point.
Melinda gradually calmed down. The scenery outside the window was a little familiar, which was the
only way to the Gu's mansion.
"Jonas," Melinda suddenly called him. Jonas was surprised and he turned to her as he asked in a soft
voice, "What's wrong?"
When driving the car, Jonas only took a glance at her and then turned his head. A car rushed towards
them at a fast speed from the roadside in front of them. It was only after turning the steering wheel that
Jonas narrowly dodged the car.
However, the two cars still collided. With the car roaring forward, Melinda rushed forward and leaned
back on the seat for a long time without coming to herself.
Emily's car rubbed against the body of Jonas's car and stopped by the side. She was relieved.
"Linda, are you okay?" In a hurry, Jonas turned to look at Melinda, who was sitting on her seat and
resting her hands on her abdomen. She looked frightened.
She even regretted calling him. If Jonas reacted a little slower just now, what would happen to her?
"Linda." Jonas unfastened his seat belt, hugged her, tapped her back gently to calm her down.
She was like a child who needed the protection of her parents.
"I'm fine." After a long while, the corner of Melinda's mouth twitched, and her face looked a little pale. It
was at this moment that the window of Jonas's car was slapped from outside.
The window glass was made so that the people inside couldn't be seen from the outside, but the
people inside could clearly see the person outside.
Emily, dressed in a white shirt, wore a pair of casual underpants, and her hair was tied into a high
ponytail. She was a little messy at the moment. She looked anxious and knocked at the window.
At the first sight of Emily, Melinda's eyes became deep. It was Emily!
Jonas was also shocked. He glanced at Melinda, opened the door and got out of the car.
"Jonas." Seeing that Jonas got off the car, Emily rushed to him excitedly. Jonas pushed her aside hard
with his hands.
"Emily, you are a madman."
Jonas's eyes were a little red, and his mouth was tight. There was a trace of anger hidden in his cold
face, but Emily was not afraid.
"Don't you miss me, Jonas?" She looked at Jonas emotionally and said with grievance, as if Jonas was
a heartless man who abandoned her.
The scene was seen by Melinda in the car coldly.
"Emily, it seems that you are too idle to have time to do these things." Jonas's heart was still fluttering
with fear. If he had been a little slower to respond just now...
"Jonas, I miss you so much. I want to see you, but you don't let me. This is the only way," Emily
shouted madly. She admitted that she pursue fame and fortune, but she also loved Jonas.
Why was everything gone now?
"That's how it is today. Don't bother me again in the future. If it happens again, I will make you suffer."
Looking at Emily's crazy behavior, Jonas suddenly felt that whatever he said would be in vain.
Just now, Emily saw Melinda sitting in the car when Jonas got off the car. She wanted to stop him, but
there was no way.
The warning of Jonas was still ringing in her ears, and she knew that what he said was true. Jonas
could do that.
"Jonas, are you really going to be so heartless? Even if you don't like me anymore, we are not even
friends anymore, right?" Emily had never been dissatisfied with her identity as a friend, but now she
seemed to be unable to find any other identity so that she could stand by Jonas.
"You should know the result when you do something, Emily," Jonas said slowly. He made it sound like
he was the same as usual, but Emily could sense a chill from his tone.
Emily never thought that she had done something wrong. She just hated that her plan failed every time.
"I did nothing wrong. I did it because I love you so much." Emily looked like a lunatic, gripping Jonas's
arm tightly.
Inside the car, Melinda frowned. She wanted to get out of the car to see what was going on, but she
held back.
'If Jonas couldn't handle Emily well, I don't need to go back with him, ' she thought.
Melinda put another test on Jonas.
"Then your love really makes me sick." Jonas pushed Emily away. Seeing the two cars rubbing on
each other, he thought it was good that he stopped in time.
Emily's hands drooped feebly on both sides, looking at him with vacant eyes, but Jonas didn't even
look at her at all.
Paying no attention to Emily, Jonas directly opened the door and got on the car. But he saw that
Melinda's face was even worse than before, and she was even sweating.
"What's wrong, Linda?" He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. His hands froze in the air
before he touched Melinda. He didn't know what was wrong with her, so he dared not touch her.
Thinking of the scene just now, he guessed that Melinda might be frightened.
"Let's go to the hospital, okay?"
Melinda's hand had been placed on her lower abdomen, where she felt quite uncomfortable. Although
she did not hit it just now, she still had a feeling of discomfort because of her strong vomit.
The baby in her belly was more important than anything else. Therefore, Melinda would not be willful.
"Okay," she answered and lay down beside, with her eyes closed. At that moment, it was not only the
collision of body but also her mind. She was so close to death at that moment.
Since the cars were still against each other, it took Jonas a lot of time to turn around and go back. He
firstly made a call to his family and told them that there was something wrong on the way, so he might
not arrive home so soon.
He didn't want to make Nelson and Queena worry about Melinda.
Fortunately, they had just left the city center for several times. Jonas led her directly to the hospital and
had Ted inform the doctor in advance.
Jonas was about to take Melinda to the hospital for examination. In his eyes, she was a fragile doll, and
there was a more fragile doll in her womb.
He was always cautious with everything.
"Don't worry. It's just a few steps. You can just hold me." Melinda still felt embarrassed. After all, the
hospital was very crowded. It was just a frightening accident. There was no other serious situation, so
that was absolutely unnecessary.
"Linda, you don't have to be embarrassed," Jonas said with a smile. Now that Melinda's secret had
been exposed, she lowered her head and kept silent.
In the end, Jonas held Melinda to the hospital. He was tall and strong with his back bent just to take
care of her. A lot of people around saw that and showed envy in their eyes.
"I've called Ted. The doctor will check you out on the Department. Don't be afraid. I'll be there with you."
