Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 842 - 435: Extra: Mr. Jones Still in His Prime 2
"What’s the bruise on your neck?"
"I... do I really?" Christine’s voice suddenly sounded unnatural as she couldn’t help but pull up her collar.
"Mommy, are you hurt?"
"I, I, I... I accidentally hurt myself."
Christine Quinn glanced furtively at the person seriously eating at the moment.
Even though her conversation with her daughter was alarming, he remained as relaxed as if nothing was happening, calmly enjoying his meal.
God knows she had deliberately changed into a high-necked outfit, but it still couldn’t hide the kissmark on her neck...
It’s all his fault, asking for some kind of ’benefit,’ and ended up kissing her all over...
If Marie hadn’t come back right then, even all this wouldn’t have been enough to distract him...
So, she could only put on a high-necked sweater, but it made her so hot that she was flushed.
"Mommy, want me to check your wound? We’ve learned some basic care at school. I might be able to help."
"Uh, no need, this little bruise will fade in a few days..."
"Oh."
"Hurry and eat your meal..."
"Okay."
Seeing that Marie finally stopped focusing on her neck, Christine dared to stretch her neck a little and continue dining.
During the meal, she frequently sneaked glances at him out of the corner of her eye, but he remained calm, as if her ’injury’ had nothing to do with him, prompting her to mutter softly, "Hypocrite."
After lunch, once Marie went to school, Christine as usual pushed Skyler Jones for a walk in their garden.
"Why aren’t you talking?" Skyler broke the silence.
"I was thinking about your legs... I feel something strange about them."
"Strange how?"
"A lot of people who are paraplegic don’t seem as optimistic as you are..."
"How so?"
"Besides their legs not moving, other functions also aren’t normal..."
"You’re referring to sexual function?"
"Don’t say it so bluntly, as long as you get it."
Skyler chuckled, "So you were quiet all this time thinking about that..."
"Hey, don’t misunderstand, I was thinking about your condition."
"Oh? What conclusions did you come to?"
Christine suddenly moved in front of him, earnestly saying, "Think about it, your lower body, except for the legs, still functions fine. That shows your paralysis is more optimistic than usual cases. So I think the doctors declaring you might be stuck in a wheelchair is a bit hasty. I think you can stand up again as long as you persist with physical therapy."
Skyler asked, "Do you really hope my legs recover?"
Christine nodded vigorously, "Of course... in your current state, it’s really a bit..."
"It’s only been a few days, and you’re already complaining?"
"No, I’m just feeling it’s a pity if your brilliant life is spent in a wheelchair, so I..."
"Seems like you have something to say to me."
Christine giggled, "I was thinking whether I should find other doctors to take a look. Maybe the doctors at that hospital aren’t that authoritative..."
Skyler’s heart skipped a beat, raising his guard, "Do you have a better recommendation?"
"Hmm, hmm... let me tell you, Jonathon knows many doctor friends, including those who are experts in treating paralysis, so why don’t we..."
Skyler’s expression turned cold, "I am not in a position to need his help."
Christine quickly leaned down, cupping his handsome face affectionately, "Just let Jonathon’s doctor friends have a look. I’ve already asked him, and he said his friend has cured many patients with paralysis..."
Skyler flat out refused, "I don’t need it!!"
Christine pleaded, "Can’t you put aside your pride for once and take it as a friend’s referral?"
"Jonathan and I are not friends." He hadn’t forgotten how Jonathan swooped in during their most fragile moment.
"Hey, do you really hold such a grudge?"
"He has held your hand, hugged you, and you still want me to treat him as a friend?"
Christine "tsk"ed, crossing her arms and said, "Mr. Jones, don’t you think your thinking is a bit old-fashioned? I was about to date him, are hand-holding and hugging not allowed? And you, with Miss Douglas, weren’t even dating, and almost ended up in bed. Should I now accuse you of touching her, hugging her, and kissing her?"
