CHAPTER 69

'Yes," we answered in sync. 'And I'm Evan Hollen. The baby's father," I introduced myself. 'I'm Doctor Julien. I have some good news and bad news on Jasmine's condition," he said next. Evan's POV 'The good news, Miss Blackman and the baby are both okay. We've managed to stop the bleeding but the bad news is she have lost a great deal of blood. The silver lining is, in time of pregnancies, a woman's body produces enough red blood cells to the growing and developing fetus so the body is practically healing itself. You're very lucky," the doctor said. I exhaled heavily like if I had been holding in my breath forever. Thank you Jesus. 'Is she awake?" I asked. I wanted to see her. 'Yes." The three of us followed him into the elevator. When we got to the second floor, he ushered us to room 07 where Jasmine was wide awake and looking at the television in her room. 'She's one tough cookie," the doctor whispered. 'But please don't make her upset or say anything to her that would cause her to become distress. The baby's condition is still very fragile. We'll like her to remain here for three days for further observation." 'We understand," we replied and nodded. 'I'll let the two of you go in first then I'll go," I said to Zenia and Susan and stepped aside. I wanted to give them their privacy with her and I needed to pray some more. After fifteen minutes, Susan and Zenia came over to get me. 'Here," I said as I placed a key into Susan's hand. 'What's this?" she asked. 'It's a key to one of my penthouse. I wouldn't be comfortable if you returned back to the apartment and the culprit hasn't been caught as yet. My penthouse has one of the best security systems so I know you two would definitely be safe there." 'Thank you. Thank you so much," Susan said and pulled me into one of the biggest hugs I've ever had in my life. 'You're welcome," I said. I had Fisher come to pick them up and drop them off to the Penthouse while I stayed with Jasmine. For the first time since the pregnancy, she had been talking and laughing with me on a friendly level. I didn't know if it was the painkillers medication that had that effect on her, but she was in the best of moods I had ever seen. I almost missed having her in my life everyday. Zenia's POV Evan's personal driver pulled the car into a parking lot of a big hotel. 'He almost wanted me to tell you that, it's free of cost so you don't have to worry about anything. You can stay as long as you like. And also, it's only twenty minutes away from his mansion," the driver, whom I believed was called Fisher, said to us and we followed him upstairs. Mom opened the door. 'Please place your hand over this monitor," Fisher said. Mom did as she was told. 'Now you," he said and looked at me. I placed my hand over the monitor. A blue light flashed and my enter palm was scanned for the security system. 'Good. Enjoy your stay," he said before leaving. I looked around in amazement and for the first time in my life, talkative Zenia was speechless. This place took my breath and words away. Expensive furniture decorated the living and sitting rooms. My feet carried me through doors and more doors and I lost it when I saw a swimming pool. 'Mom! There's a fucking swimming pool in here!" 'Language Zen!" mom scolded me as she looked around too, big smile on her face and excitement in her eyes. I roamed the entire Penthouse like if I was a child on the playground. Everything was so well kept, new and modern. I found myself a big bedroom and I crashed down onto the bed. The comfort and softness of the sheets and the mattress underneath aided me as I fell into a deep sleep. Evan's POV 'Bradley Pittsburg is currently out of the country. He's in Paris to be exact and he had been there since last weekend. He's with his fiancée, child and unborn child," Detective Charles said. It has been two days since Jasmine was attacked and there still weren't any leads on who the attacker was. Jasmine couldn't identify the intruder but she knew it was a male.man and his voice was familiar to her. She just couldn't place it to the person immediately. 'Isn't there any possible way that Pittsburg could have come back and did this? He does have his own private plane. He could of easily flew out here, committed the crime and went back to Paris like if nothing had happened," I said to them. Him and his partner, Detective St. Clair, had came over to my house to inform me that the main suspect, was no longer a suspect but I couldn't brought that so easily. 'His plane never entered US airspace. Believe me, we've tried looking for any possible way. So the person, who actually did the crime, is still out there. In the meantime, I think you should keep Jasmine safe. We'll try to find out more as we possibly could."
