Hidden Marriage With My Imperfect CEO Chapter 848
Advertisement
Sherry turned her head, showing a cold smile. Her hand reached toward Jenny's back and she pushed her hard.
"JENNY!" Jonathan and Rudi shouted at the same time.
Rudi immediately kicked Sherry, but Sherry didn't want to give up and kept pushing Jenny from the stairs.
"Ah!" Jenny felt her body being pushed forward and she couldn't help herself.
"Oh, my God!"
"Watch out!"
"Jenny…"
Jonathan ran and reached out his hand to catch Jenny, but he couldn't. Finally, he ran faster and threw himself to catch her.
Jenny tried to reach for anything, but there was nothing she could hold onto. So she could only close her eyes.
But then she felt that she fell into a warm embrace. Jonathan held her in one hand and tried to grab the banister with his other.
The people at the bottom of the stairs were so shocked to see this happen and rushed up to find out what exactly happened. After Rudi took Sherry down, he saw Jonathan had already caught Jenny. He felt very relieved.
"Jenny, are you okay?" Aiden was the first to go upstairs and help Jenny to her feet.
Anya also rushed over. When she saw the bloodstains on the stairs, she felt very panicked. "Brother, are you okay?"
Jonathan looked fine up front, but the back of his head was already covered in blood. When he saw that Jenny was fine, he just smiled. "Don't worry. I am fine!"
"Quick… Quickly call an ambulance!" Jenny cried frantically.
As if her birthday party hadn't gone chaotic enough, this sudden incident harmed the man she loved.
No one knows what Jenny's problem with Sherry was or why Sherry pushed her off the stairs.
No one knows why Jonathan returned to the venue.
But he uses his body to protect Jenny, not thinking if he will get hurt.
If not love, then what is it called?

An ambulance arrived and took Jonathan away. Anya and Rudi then followed him to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Jenny's birthday party continued as usual. Jenny was taken to a room on the second floor and didn't show up until the birthday party was over.
No matter how hard she cried, Bima did not allow her to visit Jonathan in the hospital.
Before the birthday party was over, Anya finally returned to the venue.
"Father, Jonathan suffered a minor head injury and an injury to his waist. Nothing life threatening. My mother and Lisa are accompanying him at the hospital. Rudi is also there, so I went back first," Anya explained about Jonathan's situation to Bima.
"Good. It's good that he's okay," Bima said in a low voice.
"Grandfather, I want to go to the hospital to see him. Let me go, I beg you!" Jenny begged in tears.
"What will you do? Better come home with me! I know he saved you, so I will compensate him but in another way." Bima was very touched by Jonathan's sacrifice, but he would not let Jenny marry him.
"I don't want to go home with you. You are a cold-blooded old man!" Jenny ran out of the room furiously.
Aiden was picking up his car and taking it to the lobby, about to take his wife home. However, it wasn't Anya who came in, but Jenny. She didn't want to get off or even move from the car.
"Get down!" Bima and Maria approached at the same time, forcing Jenny to come down.
"Don't wanna. Grandpa, you're so cruel! I don't want to see you again!" Jenny said with reddened eyes.
"Jenny, don't talk to your grandfather like that. He did everything for your good!" Maria reprimanded her.
"You all say that this is the best for me. But you keep me away from the person I truly love, you drive away the man who truly loves me. Is this really the best for me?" Jenny asked in tears.

In the driver's seat, Aiden turned his head and looked behind him, seeing his niece crying. He couldn't bear to force her out.
"Dad, let her come with me to the house first. Nothing will happen if Anya and I take care of her," said Aiden.
"Aiden, you can't let Jenny go to the hospital and visit Jonathan!" Bima said firmly.
Tears streamed down Jenny's face. Jonathan was injured to save her. But everyone forbade her to visit him in the hospital.
Even if she knew that Jonathan was fine, still she was worried.
After returning to Aiden's house, Jenny immediately ran to the guest room and dialed Jonathan's cell number. But his cell phone is dead.
"Let me call," Anya called her mother. "Mother, is Brother Jonathan sleeping?"
"No, it looks like the painkillers have worn off so he's in a bit of pain now. It looks like he won't be able to sleep tonight," Indah said with a long sigh. "What's wrong?"
"Jenny wants to talk to her," Anya said.
"Jonathan doesn't want to answer his cell phone because he's afraid that Jenny will worry about him," Indah answered.
"Jenny was really rebellious today. She didn't want to come home and come with me. In the hotel lobby, she said that her grandpa is an evil old man. It seems that Brother Jonathan has to endure all this again," Anya stroked her throbbing head.
If Jenny was angry and insulted Bima that way, Bima must think that Jonathan was the one who made his granddaughter rebel against him.
Even if Jonathan did nothing, he would always be blamed.
"Okay, let them talk for a while," Indah handed her cell phone to Jonathan.
"Uncle? It's me, Jenny! How are you?" Jenny's voice was hoarse from crying too much.
Jonathan chuckled softly. "Are you crying? Didn't Anya already tell you that I'm fine?"
"Why did you save me?" Jenny asked in tears.
"Why? Of course it's because I love you." Jonathan took a deep breath, trying to hold back the pain he was feeling. "Jenny, my whole body hurts right now. Can you sing a song for me?"
Without thinking, Jenny immediately sang a song.
She didn't care even if her voice wasn't good…
Or if her nose was stuffy from crying too much and that it's hard for her to talk, let alone singing…
She will still do whatever Jonathan wants.
Hearing Jenny's voice, Jonathan felt like his pain was lessened.
Jenny couldn't go to the hospital to be with him, so she accompanied him over the phone.
Anya took the charger so that the phone didn't run out of battery. They talked until morning.
Early in the morning, Anya opened the guest room's door and saw Jenny was fast asleep.
Her phone was still connected even though she had fallen asleep. In the end, it was Anya who turned it off and kept it in a safer place.
Jenny slept until noon. When she woke up, she saw Anya sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.
Jenny looked at her with a frown, "Auntie, maybe it would be better if I wasn't a child of the Atmajaya Family. That way, I can live in peace, not having to suffer like this. I can't even be with the man I love. I can't choose who I will marry."
"If you are not a member of the Atmajaya Family, you will not know my brother. It's impossible for a life to be as perfect as you imagine," Anya smiled.
"Auntie, I want to go to the hospital. Will you help me?" Jenny hugged Anya's arm and begged her.

Editors have included footnotes when possible to explain pre-aurora technologies or concepts and how they relate to current magical technologies. The contents of this work may upset readers.
