Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chris stayed silent.

Jewel's face was wet with tears as she said, "Chris, I can't live without you by my side. I don't know what to do without you."

Her voice was choked with emotion.

Still, Chris said nothing. Thinking that he had hung up, Jewel called out, "Chris... Chris? Are you there?"

She glanced at my phone, confirming that the call was still active.

"Chris..."

"Jewel, who said that you could go to my place? Didn't I warn you? Have you forgotten what I said?" Chris finally replied. Jewel's hand trembled as she clutched my phone.

"Chris, I had no other choice. I just want to protect this baby. You were the one that said nothing can happen to the child."

I couldn't help but let out a scoff. Just a few days ago, she wanted to get rid of the baby in front of lan's parents.

"Jewel, this is your last chance."

Chris' voice was as cold as the wintry chill.

"Chris..."

A beeping sound echoed as the call disconnected, and Jewel clasped the phone tightly.

"Chris? Chris..."
