Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 481 - 253: Playing the Fool to Outsmart the Wise (Part 5-2)
But if it’s just acting and pity, and she’s tangled up in this moment, she’s truly pathetic...
Shaking her head to dispel these thoughts that shouldn’t exist in her mind, Rebecca Quentin turned around to look again at the red light of the operating room.
After more than an hour, Skyler Jones returned.
Howard Geoffrey was still on the phone, but it was his second call.
Rebecca Quentin and Howard Geoffrey were always far apart, and she occasionally glanced at him, only seeing him continuously on the phone.
She couldn’t tell if he was taking a personal call from such a distance, but judging by his serious expression, it should be business-related.
Of course, he was busy. Managing the large "Skytop," every decision he made was crucial.
Skyler Jones saw Howard Geoffrey on the phone and walked directly toward Rebecca Quentin.
At this moment, Skyler Jones asked Rebecca Quentin nervously, "Have any doctors or nurses come out?"
"No."
Upon hearing Rebecca Quentin’s answer, Skyler Jones instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Skyler Jones worrying so much about Marie, Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but comfort him, "You’ve already brought the world’s best cardiologists for Marie, no need to worry too much."
"She’s very strong."
"Yes, she’s like her sister."
Skyler Jones remained silent.
"I’m sorry, Mr. Jones, I misunderstood you."
Skyler Jones naturally knew Rebecca Quentin was apologizing for misunderstanding him, thinking he was indifferent to Marilyn Quinn.
Skyler Jones said casually, "I didn’t take it to heart."
"Thank you... May I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"Will you fulfill the promise you made to Marie?"
Skyler Jones turned around, calmly making eye contact with Rebecca Quentin, "Would you really like me to fulfill it?"
"No, I truly hope you and my sister have a positive outcome, but if you’re with my sister just to fulfill your promise to Marie, I’d prefer my sister find someone new to start with, because feelings aren’t child’s play."
Skyler Jones grinned enigmatically, "But you know, when someone can never get the love they want, everything becomes inconsequential to them."
Rebecca Quentin understood Skyler Jones’ words somewhat but not completely.
Skyler Jones smiled and walked away.
The surgery lasted more than ten hours, and as everyone expected, Marie’s cardiac intervention was very successful.
When the doctor came out of the operating room to announce the news, everyone present felt relieved, and Rebecca Quentin and Christine Quinn joyfully embraced.
Although the doctor said observation was still needed for twenty-four hours to check if Marie’s body would show any signs of rejection, the successful surgery had everyone confident about the next twenty-four hours. The doctor also mentioned that barring unexpected events, these twenty-four hours would pass smoothly.
Although tonight was not yet the time for celebration, everyone’s mood became exceptionally relaxed.
Since tonight to tomorrow is the observation period, family members cannot stay in the operating room with the patient, so everyone must go home to rest tonight.
Howard Geoffrey and Skyler Jones seemed to have things to do at night; after hearing the surgery results, they both left the hospital.
Rebecca Quentin originally intended to return to the hotel where she was staying to rest, not daring to ask for too much after having a night to herself with Andrew. But unexpectedly, when Rebecca Quentin mentioned she was planning to return to her hotel, Mrs. Geoffrey suggested she stay at Cloud Hotel tonight.
Christine Quinn initially planned to invite Rebecca Quentin to sleep with her, but after receiving a signal from Mrs. Geoffrey, she cooperated by choosing silence.
At this moment, Mrs. Geoffrey persuaded Rebecca Quentin, "Once I take Andrew back to New York, it will be difficult for you to see Andrew... If you don’t mind, the three of us can make do in one room tonight, so you can spend more time with Andrew."
"Really?" Rebecca Quentin was moved upon hearing this.
Christine Quinn chimed in at this moment, "Children are easily attached. If you sleep with him for a few nights, he will definitely come to you next time."
Thinking that Howard Geoffrey and Mrs. Geoffrey’s room was next door, Rebecca Quentin felt it was inconvenient, so despite being tempted, she hesitated.
Mrs. Geoffrey then retreated to advance, "If you don’t want to, forget it. You can come to New York to see Andrew when you have time..."
Rebecca Quentin worriedly exclaimed, "No, Auntie... I’ll go to the hotel with you."
Christine Quinn couldn’t help but admire the wisdom of the elders!
Jason Wood drove everyone back.
Jason Wood first took Christine Quinn back to Skyler Jones’ villa in the city center of Y City, then drove Mrs. Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin back to Cloud Hotel.
On the way back to the hotel, little Andrew didn’t sleep at all, so Rebecca Quentin held him and played with him in the car.
Andrew seemed to have lost his strong sense of repulsion toward Rebecca Quentin, already allowing her to comfort and hold him.
As soon as Mrs. Geoffrey returned to the hotel, she sighed, "Your own children are always closest..."
Rebecca Quentin, holding Andrew as he drifted off to sleep in her arms, felt immense pride and satisfaction in her heart.
Closing the door, Mrs. Geoffrey softly said, "I’ll go take a shower, and you can soothe Andrew to sleep!"
"Okay."
Rebecca Quentin walked around the room a few times with Andrew in her arms, and he quickly fell asleep.
Seeing the little cutie drooling in her arms, Rebecca Quentin was reluctant to put Andrew on the bed to sleep.
Thus, when Mrs. Geoffrey came out, she saw Rebecca Quentin holding Andrew by the bed, looking very satisfied.
Mrs. Geoffrey couldn’t help but laugh, "If you hold him like that while sleeping, he’ll catch a cold." She said, taking Andrew from Rebecca Quentin’s arms.
Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but blame herself for being careless.
Seeing Mrs. Geoffrey take Andrew to the bathroom to pee, Rebecca Quentin was even more embarrassed, "I was using diapers last night."
"It’s okay, using diapers is more convenient outside."
"But diapers are uncomfortable for children."
"Yes, I usually rarely use them, but outside with no servants to help, we can only manage."
"Auntie, thank you for taking care of Andrew so thoughtfully."
"Saying that is unnecessary... Andrew is your son and my grandson, and I’m willing to care for him with all my heart."
Rebecca Quentin smiled sweetly.
Mrs. Geoffrey took a sleeping Andrew after he peed back from the bathroom and whispered, "It’s late, and you’re tired too. Take a shower and rest early!"
