?Chapter 594:


    “No need for a ride,” she replied tly. “I’ll meet you at the port after work.”


    Marc was a little disappointed, but the thought of seeing her tomorrow made up for it.


    “Alright. See you tomorrow, Stel.”


    After hanging up, he stood by his closet, already thinking about what to wear. But just as he reached for a jacket, his phone rang again. Ste? he wondered, a flicker of hope sparking.


    But it was Jazlyn.


    “Hey Mom, what’s with thete call?” he answered.


    The second she heard his voice, Jazlyn snapped, “Marc, get to the hospital! Doreen’s in trouble!”


    He blinked. “What’s that got to do with me?”


    Jazlyn was stunned. “She’s pregnant with your child! You really want to lose the child you finally got? Get to the hospital—now!”


    Marc let out a tired sigh. “Fine. I’m on my way.”


    He ended the call,id out his outfit for the next day, grabbed his jacket, and headed out the door.


    At the hospital, Marc rushed in and found Jazlyn sitting outside the operating room.


    The moment she spotted him, she shot up and grabbed his hand.<fn28f0> For original chapters go to find(?)ovel</fn28f0>


    Marc’s voice dropped, tense. “What happened?”


    Jazlyn smacked his hand. “What do you think happened? Doreen felt like she was holding you back. You’ve been gone over two weeks—she couldn’t take it. She tried to hurt herself at the vi. We’re still waiting to hear how she’s doing.”


    Marc froze, stunned. He hadn’t expected Doreen to go that far.


    Jazlyn saw the look on his face and sighed. “Marc, I’m begging you. Even if you’re not in love with her, at least hang in there till the babyes. She’s stuck by you this whole time. That has to count for something.”


    Back then, Jazlyn didn’t think Doreen could ever match up to Ste. But once the baby came into the picture—and Doreen waspliant and cooperative—she had to admit the girl wasn’t bad.

    Maybe not daughter-inw material, but the baby… that mattered.


    Marc rubbed the back of his neck, clearly irritated. “Mom, you don’t need to worry yourself about it.”


    Jazlyn snapped, smacking her thigh. “How am I not supposed to worry? You trying to give me a heart attack? You think Ste still cares about you after all this? Focus on making things right with Doreen before it’s toote!”


    But Marc thought about his meeting with Ste the next day and smirked. “She’s been a little softer than before. We’re meeting tomorrow.”


    Jazlyn’s eyes lit up. “Seriously?”


    He nodded. “Just watch. It won’t be long before Stel’s back.”


    Alonzo had promised to give him everything he wanted once he nailed the project.


    Jazlyn went quiet, holding back her thoughts.


    Right then, the doctor came out of the OR. Jazlyn rushed over. “Doctor, how is she?”


    “She’s stable for now,” he said. “But we’ll keep her in for observation to make sure there’s no infection.”
