    **Chapter 541 Heavy Heart**


    As she made her way back, outwardlyposed, a tempest of emotions raged within her. The facade of calmness she presented was a mere veil, hiding the turmoil that churned in her heart.


    At this moment, the heavy, cold ache that had gripped her chest began to thaw, just slightly, as if warmth was seeping into her very core.


    “Yeah, I know,” Anneliese said softly, wrapping her arms around Jessica in aforting embrace, her hand gently patting Jessica’s shoulder in a gesture of solidarity.


    Jessica, acutely aware of the tremor in Anneliese’s voice, felt a frown deepen on her brow. The weight of concern settled heavily on her shoulders.


    What had Jonathan done that had left Anneliese so visibly shaken?


    They stepped inside the house, and Nishay was there, her anxiety palpable as she repeatedly nced toward the door, anticipation etched on her face.


    The moment the elevator doors slid open, Anneliese spotted Nishay and instinctively donned a bright, cheerful smile, determined to mask her inner turmoil.


    “Grandma, I’m back! We still have time to whip up dinner together, don’t we? Come on, let’s get moving!” she eximed, the enthusiasm in her voice ringing a bit hollow.


    A hat perched on her head concealed the bandage that wrapped around the back of her head, a silent testament to her struggles.


    Nishay, blissfully unaware of the hidden pain, felt her earlier unease dissipate as she saw Anneliese return.


    “It’s the holidays, and you’re still running around like a busy bee. Jessica and I have already tackled most of dinner. You really don’t need to help. Just look at you—you seem so pale. Did you not get enough rest these past couple of days?”


    Worry etched itself into Nishay’s features as she studied Anneliese. Without hesitation, Anneliese took her arm, trying to reassure her.


    “Yeah, I had a lot of testing to do, and it was pretty exhausting,” Anneliese admitted, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.


    “Then you should go rest for a while,” Nishay insisted, her voiceced with concern.


    Jessica, sensing the moment, gently nudged Anneliese toward the bedroom. “Alright, enough of this. You need to rest. I’ll call you when dinner is ready.”


    Anneliese felt herself being ushered into the bedroom, a small smile creeping onto her face as she overheard Jessica and Nishay whispering outside, their words aforting hum.


    Once inside, she changed into a morefortable outfit and sank onto the couch, feeling the weight of the world pressing down on her. She pulled out her phone, her heart racing as she saw a WhatsApp message from Jonathan: ‘Did you manage to get through it? I asked a doctor to be on standby. If anything urgent happens, you can reach out to her.’


    He had also included a phone number, and Anneliese found herself staring at it, her fingers tightening around her phone as if it were a lifeline.


    Carter had returned to Halden for the holidays, leaving her alone in Oceaton, and Jonathan’s concern for her safety at Nishay’s ce was evident. He had taken the initiative to find a doctor who could assist her in an emergency, a gesture that filled her with warmth and dread in equal measure.


    Though their rtionship was still in its infancy, not even half a year old, she could feel the depth of care he had for her. Jonathan was thoughtful, patient, and kind, attending to even the smallest details with a level of consideration that took her by surprise.


    Could anyone else treat a mere stand-in with such genuine care? She doubted it.


    Having lived through the hollow echoes of feigned affection once before, she recognized the stark contrast between Jonathan’s sincerity and Zacharias’ deceit.


    Yet, there lingered shadows of uncertainty. He had kept so much from her, and that realization stung like a sharp de. Anneliese pressed her palm against her forehead, willing herself to push those thoughts aside.


    She saved the doctor’s number, sent a quick reply to Jonathan, and switched off her phone, needing a moment of silence from the digital world.


    Meanwhile, at the airport, Jonathan received her message just after boarding the ne. He opened WhatsApp, his brow furrowing as he read the brief response.


    ‘Thank you!’


    The coldness in those two simple words struck a chord in him, a reminder of the emotional distance that hung between them.


    He knew she was well aware that he didn’t seek gratitude for his actions; he had never done anything for her out of a desire for thanks.


    His fingertip hovered over the screen for a heartbeat longer before he typed back, ‘Honey, I’ve boarded the ne.’


    But that message, like the previous one, went unanswered. Even after he touched down in Halden, silence met him on the other end.


    Nishay, weary from the day, retreated to her room after dinner, leaving Anneliese and Jessica alone in the living space.


    Anneliese emerged from Nishay’s room, noticing that Jessica had already turned off the television.


    “Did Grandma go to sleep?” Anneliese asked, her voice soft.


    With a nod, Jessica exhaled a sigh of relief. “Want to hang out in my room for a bit?”


    Anneliese had been hoping for just that. They exchanged a small, knowing smile, a silent agreement that brought a flicker offort amidst their worries.


    As they entered Jessica’s room, Anneliese’s gaze fell upon the window seat, which had been transformed into a cozy nook adorned with twinkling string lights and a small tableden with juice and an assortment of snacks and pastries.


    Curiosity piqued, she approached the table and examined the juice, her mind racing with possibilities.


    Turning back to Jessica, she grinned knowingly. “Looks like I don’t even need to ask. I’m going to have a little godson or goddaughter, aren’t I?”


    Her tone was yful yet confident, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she nced at Jessica’s stomach.


    If Jessica weren’t pregnant, she would have popped open a bottle of wine to celebrate this joyous asion without a second thought.


    Jessica, realizing Anneliese had pieced it together, offered a small, bittersweet smile. She turned to her nightstand, opened a drawer, and handed Anneliese a stic bag, the gesture filled with unspoken emotions.Conclusion


    In the quiet aftermath of the day’s tumult, Anneliese found herself enveloped in a cocoon of warmth and camaraderie as she shared a moment of joy with Jessica.
