Chapter 358 Her Child
Melanie walked directly into the women’s changing room, leaving behind a stern remark at the door.
“I won’t have an appetite with you around!”
With a slam, the door closed, and Jeffrey sighed. He turned around and gave some instructions to William. William quickly acknowledged them, and went downstairs to handle matters.
Soon, the limping Annie received the message and went to the hotel entrance to meet Melanie and bring her
back to the room.
They ordered room service, and had a simple meal in the room. Melanie began to feel a bit better after eating.
During the meal, Annie’s phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at it, and saw a message from an unknown
number.
Initially, she didn’t pay much attention, but then she caught the first line of the message, “Concerns Melanie’s
life. Stay silent and quickly return the call!”
Suddenly, her eyes widened. She tightly gripped the phone.
“What’s wrong?” Melanie asked subconsciously.
“N–Nothing. I need to make a call.”

Annie hurriedly walked away with her phone. In a quiet place, she cautiously looked at the message again. Her
heart pounded, and without much thought, she dialed the number that sent the message.
The call connected quickly, and Jeffrey’s voice came through. “I’m Jeffrey. Is Melanie with you now? Find a
place where she can’t hear to talk. I need your help with something.”
Annie was furious. “President Morgan, are you playing tricks on me?”
“No.”
“Good! Melanie doesn’t want to hear about you, and I have no reason to contact you. Don’t look for me in the
future!”
Annie was about to hang up the phone when Jeffrey’s voice came again from the other side.
“Melanie might be pregnant!”
“What?” Annie immediately pressed the phone tightly to her ear. “What did you say?”
“Melanie hasn’t been feeling well lately, and she has no appetite either. Has this been going on for many days? I need you to come up with an excuse to take her to the hospital for a check–up.” Jeffrey listed the
evidence.
Annie frowned. When she thought about it, Melanie didn’t have an appetite lately, and even experienced

“As you know, Melanie’s body is special. If she’s pregnant, it’ll be more difficult for her compared to an ordinary pregnant woman. I want to be prepared in advance.”
“I know.”
Annie was obliged to help when it came to Melanie’s health. After agreeing, she suddenly thought of something, and asked, “What do you plan to do if she’s really pregnant?”
After a short pause. Jeffrey said firmly, “I will take responsibility for her.”
“She doesn’t need your responsibility. She can raise the child herself, and I can help her too!” Annie snarled.
She was resolute, not giving Jeffrey a chance to explain.
“She will never marry someone insincere just for the sake of a child. Even if she’s pregnant, she won’t! Are you asking me to check if she’s pregnant because you can arrange for a doctor to abort her child?”
Annie’s suspicion left Jeffrey momentarily speechless.
In the eyes of Melanie’s friends, he was such a bastard…
After a pause, he answered, “If I wanted to abort the child, I wouldn’t have needed to trouble you.”
Annie thought about it, and felt that there was some truth to his words. With Jeffrey’s power, it would be
effortless to abort an unwanted child…
“So please help.” Jeffrey tried to be as humble as possible.
“After the examination, what do you plan to do?” Annie asked again.
“I will know the results of the examination immediately. As for whether she’s willing to tell me or not, I won’t force her. You can help me keep it a secret from her. Everything will be up to her. I just want her to be taken
care of.”
Jeffrey’s sincerity temporarily convinced Annie. She pursed her lips, and said, “Alright, but don’t provoke Melanie. If you dare to make her sad again, I’ll be the first one to kill you.”
“Okay.”
After Annie hung up the phone and returned, Melanie pretended to scrutinize her, making her feel guilty.
“Why are you looking at me like this?”
“Who did you call?”
“N–No one…” Annie sat down shakily.
Melanie stared at her sternly. “Who’s no one?”
Annie felt defeated.
Just as she had made up her mind to keep it a secret, the protagonist suspected her. At this moment, she
could only go all out and say something else to divert Melanie’s attention.
“In fact… I had a romantic encounter…” Annie said through gritted teeth.
“You’ve only been here for a few days, right?” Melanie raised her eyebrows. “Could it be…?”
