Chapter 178 Stealing Her Child

A week later, Erin felt immensely drowsy after finishing breakfast one day. Hence, she decided to lie down and rest.

Although her body was thinner than before, her belly was large. She was approaching her due date. Erin slowly fell asleep while rubbing her belly in her drowsy state.

Less than ten minutes later, Tessa, who had seen Erin passing out from the surveillance, arrived at the cell. Jack was also there. He was put in charge of carrying Erin into the operating room.

Jack added a sedative to Erin’s breakfast that morning to make her sleepy. The mushroom soup he served that day was creamy and flavorful, so Erin didn’t detect anything was off with her meal.

“You don’t need to come into the operating room later. I can handle it myself,” Tessa stated impassively.

Jack had just bent down to pick Erin up in his arms. He looked up at Tessa and said, “I know the surgery won’t pose a challenge for you, but won’t you be overwhelmed doing it alone? Let me help you.”

Tessa frowned and gave him a displeased look. “Is that what you’ve been aiming for? Seeing Erin’s naked body?”

Her words effectively angered Jack for the first time ever. He asked with a cold gaze, “Is that what you think of me? Tessa, have you forgotten what I’ve done for you? Do you even care if I see Erin’s body?”

“Of course, I remember everything you’ve done for me, but I just don’t like you seeing her body. I’m jealous, ok?” Tessa retorted irritably.

Jack sighed. “Falling in love with you will be the death of me. Here’s the deal. After you’ve changed Erin into the surgical gown and gotten. everything ready, let me know and I’ll come into the operating room to assist you. We’ve put in so much effort; I don’t want anything to

happen to our son.”

Tessa pondered for a moment and finally compromised. “Fine, but you have to promise me. When the surgery starts, don’t look anywhere
