Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 832 - 430: Extra Story: She Always Keeps Her Distance from Him 2
"You’re so silly..."
"You’re the silly one, ignoring an excellent man like me. You’ll definitely regret it later..."
Christine Quinn was amused by Jonathon Gibson’s words, tears gleaming with laughter in her eyes.
"Come here, give me a hug."
"Mm." Christine gently leaned into Jonathon’s arms.
Jonathon closed his eyes in pain, kissed her hair lightly, "If he dares to hurt you again, I won’t let him off!!"
Two days later.
With the sun shining brightly, Christine Quinn was pushing Skyler Jones for a walk under the leafy shade of the hospital.
Skyler suddenly said, "Am I very selfish, having you take care of a paralyzed person like me?"
"Don’t say that, staying to take care of you was my own decision."
"I know Jonathon Gibson has already left L.A... Have I ruined your happiness?"
Christine abruptly stopped the wheelchair, lowered herself and squatted in front of him, looking him straight in the eyes. "Don’t worry so much, you just need to smile a bit more each day and make yourself happy."
"I’m very happy now... With you by my side, I even feel that being paralyzed is worth it..." Skyler looked at Christine with deep love.
"Don’t say silly things, the doctor said you still have a chance to recover."
"Mm, as long as you’re by my side, I’m full of confidence."
Christine smiled slightly. "Let me push you for a bit more."
"Okay... By the way, where’s Marie?"
Christine replied, "Justin went to pick up your mom, she went along."
Skyler was shocked, "What?"
Christine hesitated, "I’m sorry, I told your mom and Howard Geoffrey about your whereabouts."
"Why did you tell them?"
"Running away is not the solution, they’re your closest family."
Christine’s words brought Skyler into silence.
Fearing Skyler’s reluctance was due to his family’s potential reaction to his current state, Christine couldn’t help but comfort him, "No matter how you change, they will still love you."
Mrs. Geoffrey arrived with Howard Geoffrey, and by noon, everyone was gathered in Skyler’s hospital room.
Mrs. Geoffrey’s expression was sad, yet she dared not say much to Skyler, afraid of upsetting him.
Howard Geoffrey’s tone was much gentler than when he usually bantered with Skyler, "Now that I see you’re okay, I’m relieved."
Skyler apologized, "Sorry for worrying everyone."
Christine felt that since the incident, Skyler’s temper had mellowed a lot, and he had learned to love others.
"Fortunately, Christine was by your side. Otherwise, if you kept avoiding, your legs would have been ruined," Mrs. Geoffrey sighed.
Standing beside Mrs. Geoffrey, Marie spoke up too, "Yes, grandma, daddy doesn’t listen to anyone except mommy."
Mrs. Geoffrey smiled lovingly, "Christine, it’s been hard on you taking care of him."
Christine smiled awkwardly, "I haven’t done much, just pushed him out for some sun, many things are handled by the nurses."
Marie giggled, "Yes, as long as mommy’s by daddy’s side, he’s happy..."
Christine blushed at her daughter’s words, "Marie..."
Howard Geoffrey laughed heartily, "Seems like my brother found a blessing in disguise... This marriage probably won’t end, will it?"
This sudden topic drew everyone’s attention to Christine.
Christine’s face suddenly turned pale, seemingly avoiding the subject.
Marie giggled, "Mommy, you won’t divorce daddy, right? Uncle Gibson is gone, I even heard him say he wishes you and daddy to be together!"
Christine gave Marie a reproachful look, "Marie, children shouldn’t interfere with adult matters."
Marie obediently said, "Oh."
Not wanting to stay in the room to face further questioning from the Geoffrey family, Christine immediately made an excuse, "Um... I’m going to the doctor to get Skyler’s test results from yesterday, you guys chat."
"Mommy, I’ll go with you..."
"Okay, let’s go!"
After Christine and Marie left the room, Howard Geoffrey’s handsome face broke into a grin, "How was it? Brother, my acting cooperated well, right?"
Mrs. Geoffrey smiled kindly, standing to one side.
Skyler stood up from the wheelchair, stretched and moved his whole body, "Knew I couldn’t hide it from you... So tell me, knowing I’m okay, why the pretentious trip to L.A.?"
"I wanted to see you... It’s been so long since I last saw you, so I brought Howie along."
