Chapter 592:
He paused, studying her face before continuing.
“However, your mom has been trying to see you. She’s called several times. Do you want to see her p>
Jenessa’s eyes flickered with conflicting emotions.
“She’ll just try to persuade me to forgive him, Rick. I don’t want to see her. I’m afraid that if I face her pleas, I’ll end up softening p>
Richard reached out, placing a reassuring hand on hers.
“Alright, it’s up to you,” he agreed, respecting her choice.
As they were discussing, one of Richard’s servants called from outside, “Sir, your sister is here p>
Brinley was here.
“Let her in,” Richard replied.
Brinley, Jenessa’s best friend, was someone Jenessa needed right now. Her presence might bring the much-needed glimmer of comfort.
Brinley rushed into the room, her eyes scanning the space until they landed on Jenessa, who was lying on the bed. Her face fell, pain and concern etched deeply into her features.
Brinley exclaimed, sinking down beside her, “You’ve lost so much weight in just a few days p>
Already aware of the turmoil Jenessa had faced, Brinley struggled to contain her anger.
“Your father is such a piece of shit! How could he do this? What kind of father sends his daughter to an illegal clinic? He’s a monster! And the baby—no matter what, the baby is innocent. You love this baby. What right does he have to force an abortion p>
Jenessa gently caressed her belly, her eyes distant.
“He believed the rumors online and is convinced my baby is illegitimate p>
Brinley’s anger flared even hotter.
“Those people are fools! I must track them down and hack their computers! Let’s see how they like having their dirty laundry aired p>

Jenessa knew Brinley’s outburst was her way of trying to comfort her.
She attempted a smile, but the effort left her face strained, the forced expression making her pain palpable.
“Don’t be sad, Jennie. Everything’s fine now,” Brinley said gently, trying to comfort her friend when she saw the sadness in Jenessa’s eyes.
Jenessa looked down at her belly, her face clouded with self-reproach.
“You know what, Brin? I thought that even if I left Ryan, I could raise my baby on my own. I believed that even without a father, my baby would be okay p>
She took a deep breath, struggling to keep her voice steady.
“After everything that’s happened in the last couple of days, I’ve realized that relying solely on myself isn’t enough. I can barely fight the rumors online, and it’s difficult to protect my baby in reality. I almost lost it this time p>
Jenessa’s voice broke as she spoke, her fears overwhelming. There seemed to be so many people who didn’t want her to have this baby safely.
It was unacceptable that even her own family had turned against her.
She didn’t know who she could trust anymore.
Brinley felt a deep sympathy for her friend and blurted out, “It’s no big deal. If the baby really needs a father, let’s just find some random guy for you p>
Realizing the absurdity of her suggestion, Brinley immediately felt guilty. She knew Jenessa wasn’t someone who would casually choose a man, let alone one whose reliability was uncertain.
“Just find a random guy?” Jenessa echoed, incredulous.
“How is that even possible p>
Richard stepped in quickly, his voice calm and reassuring.
“Jenessa, don’t worry about it right now. Your main job is to rest and take care of yourself and the baby, okay p>
He stood up, glancing at Brinley.
“Brinley, didn’t you mention you had something to do next? Let me walk you out p>
Brinley blinked in surprise, about to protest that she didn’t have anywhere to go, but then she caught Richard’s subtle cue.
