Chapter 1298 Her Hands Were Cold As If Devoid Of Warmth
Zephyr followed the nurse into the ward, where he saw Johanna lying in the hospital bed.
She was too thin, and the hospital gown looked empty on her. The ventilator had already been removed, and her
small, palm-sized face was incredibly pale.
What startled Zephyr were her eyes.
Even if she hated seeing him, there were no emotions in her eyes now, just emptiness. Despite her young age, she
seemed lifeless and dull.
Zephyr's throat felt a bit dry as he walked over and held Johanna's hand in his palm. Her hand was cold, as if it had
no warmth.
Her appearance made Zephyr so uncomfortable that he could hardly breathe.
He tightly held the woman's hand and said in a hoarse voice, “It was me who had the contraceptive pill replaced.
That's our child. It's okay if you don't like her. I'll take care of her in the future and won't let you see her again.”
“Can we agree that you don't have to love me anymore, and I won't bother you anymore? I'll let you go back to
Timothy, alright?”

No matter what Zephyr said, it seemed as if Johanna didn't hear him at all. Her empty eyes were always staring at
a certain spot.
One day, two days, three days...
It wasn't until Johanna's wounds had healed, and she was able to get out of bed and walk, bathe herself, and eat on
her own, that she still felt a lingering emptiness inside.
She could spend the entire day staring out the window without moving a muscle after having her meal.
Zephyr asked the doctor to come and examine Johanna.
After the examination, the doctor had a private conversation with Zephyr. “Due to certain stimuli, she has closed
herself off in her own world, unwilling to come out. She is indifferent to people and things around her. This is
autism...”
Autism requires the cooperation of doctors and patients, and it takes a long time to treat. However, Johanna has
closed herself off completely.
After the doctor left, Zephyr covered his face with his hands, feeling very upset inside.
He had considered that Johanna might not accept the child, but he never expected her to break down like this, let
alone commit suicide.
How did it turn out like this?
During this period, Zephyr had been staying at the hospital with Johanna, and it had been a long time since he had
seen his children. He decided to leave two bodyguards at the hospital to take care of Johanna and returned to the
mansion.
In a short amount of time, the little one has grown quite a bit, with chubby arms and legs.
It's been a long time since Zephyr last saw her father, but she still remembers him. Upon seeing her dad's face, she
starts giggling happily.
Zephyr lowered his head and gently kissed her cheek.
Zephyr carried the little one to the living room and fed him the milk powder prepared by the nanny. As he did so, a
subordinate entered the room and walked over to Zephyr's side.
In the report, it says, “Timothy and Armand are both looking for Mrs. Juksford. It seems like Armand knows where
we are.”
Zephyr didn't speak, but lowered his gaze to look at the child in his arms.
About ten minutes later, Zephyr finally spoke up, “Have someone prepare the plane; we're going to Jadeborough
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe day after tomorrow.”
After flying for more than ten hours, the private jet arrived in Jadeborough at around ten o'clock at night.
After leaving the airport, Zephyr held Johanna's hand and led her into a sedan parked by the roadside.
Before closing the car door, he bent down and gently kissed Johanna's cheek, looking at her, wanting to etch her
image in his mind forever.
Zephyr whispered softly, “Jojo, goodbye.”
Johanna's empty gaze seemed to fall on his face, but there was no response.
Zephyr closed the car door and watched as the vehicle drove out of sight. Only then did he get into another car,
where a baby carrier was placed on the seat beside him. The little one inside was sound asleep.
Zephyr placed the silver cross pendant around the little one's neck and gave her a kiss, “Daddy will always
remember your adorable appearance.”
How he longed to be a good father, accompanying his daughter as she grew up.
Zephyr reluctantly looked away and then took out his phone to dial a number.
After the other party connected, he said softly, “Armand, let's make a deal.”
