The Ex-Wife's Secret (Jonathan and Teresa) novel Chapter 855

Chapter 855

‘Since he doesn’t know, I’ll tell him. If Jonathan takes responsibility, I believe he’ll help Teresa heal from this pain.

Like her brother, Lucas desperately wanted to do something for his little sister, so this time, he’d be the one to speak up.

Lucas stood up and told her he needed to step out for a while. Teresa went to wash her face. A nurse soon brought in a full spread of nutritious food. There were ten different dishes plus a bowl of chowder.

“Ms. Johnston, Mr. Lynn asked us to prepare all this for you. Would you like us to feed you?” the nurse asked.

“No, I can eat by myself,” Teresa replied.

“Alright, if you need anything, just let us know,” the nurse said.

“Thanks for all your hard work,” Teresa said, eyeing the food. She remembered how Jonathan kissed her forehead before leaving, asking her to wait for his return.

He’d promised her that she’d never have to face anything alone again, that he wouldn’t leave her by herself like he did back when she was pregnant with Mike.

After thinking for a moment, Teresa picked up her phone and sent Jonathan a message: [Thank you.]

She wanted to thank him for arranging such a comfortable place and making sure her family and friends were there to keep her company.

Just as she was about.to put her phone down, it suddenly rang.

“Hello, is this Ms. Johnston?” came a polite voice on the line.

“Yes, that’s me. Who is this?” Teresa answered.

“We’re calling from the law firm. You know Ms. Irene Lynn, right? We’re calling to inform you that Ms. Lynn has filed a lawsuit against you,” the

voice said.

“What did you just say?” Teresa asked, her breathing quickening as panic set in. “Why is Irene Lynn suing me?”

“It’s for custody of your child,” the voice replied.

Teresa paused for a couple of seconds, and then asked, “She’s just Grandma. Does she even have the right to fight me for custody?”

“Under certain conditions, a Grandma can seek custody. Due to your financial, physical, and mental health, you may be deemed unfit to raise the child. This is a notice. You may hire a lawyer or negotiate with her,” the voice explained.

Then the call ended abruptly. Teresa stared blankly as her phone slipped from her hand and clattered to the floor. ‘What’s wrong with my finances, health, and mental state?‘ she thought in a daze.

The day she feared most had come. She knew Irene wasn’t going to back off because she was pregnant.

‘Now that Jonathan isn’t around, what is Irere up to? Is she going to… Teresa thought.

Teresa, in a panic, threw off the covers and scrambled out of bed, about to rush out of the hospital room when a doctor blocked her way at

the door.

“Please move, I need to go home and get some clothes. I’ll be right back,” Teresa said anxiously.
