Justin Walter was startled, "Mr. Jones..."

Skyler Jones glanced sideways at Justin Walter, his cold eyes emanating a sharp and shrewd glow, speaking in a chilly tone, "Actually, after the incident broke out, I suspected this matter... You were the one who took me there that night, so if something really happened, the only issue would be with you."

"Then why, Mr. Jones..."

"Why didn’t I expose you?"

Justin Walter nodded dumbly.

"Because if I don’t protect you, your fate would be Charles Douglas sending you to prison."

Justin Walter looked at Skyler Jones in disbelief, "So, Mr. Jones, you did it for me..."

At this moment, Skyler Jones stood up, his imposing presence looming over Justin Walter, "This time I won’t take your life, but our brotherhood ends here."

"Mr. Jones..."

Skyler Jones turned his back, speaking lightly, "Leave, I don’t want to see you again." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Watching Skyler Jones’s cold back, Justin Walter’s eyes reddened, filled with tears of gratitude, "Thank you... Mr. Jones."

Skyler Jones did not turn back.

Justin Walter turned around and slowly walked out of the study, but just before stepping out, he suddenly said, "Find her, I will tell her the truth, no matter if she can accept it or not, I will stay by her side... I will watch over her and never let her step into your and the lady’s world, I promise."

Skyler Jones continued to respond with his cold silhouette.

Justin Walter took his steps and ultimately left.

Afternoon.

In the car, Christine Quinn asked Skyler Jones, "Why aren’t you saying anything?"

Sitting in the back seat holding Christine Quinn, Skyler Jones shook his head, "It’s nothing."

"Oversky, I didn’t think from your perspective before, which led to misunderstandings... I’m sorry."

Skyler Jones lowered his head and lovingly kissed his sweet wife’s lips, "Why are you saying this again?"

"I think I’m often immature, causing issues between us frequently."

Skyler Jones chuckled softly, "Silly, it’s not your fault..."

"Then what are you thinking about? Your brow has been furrowed." Christine Quinn raised her hand, gently smoothing Skyler Jones’s slightly furrowed brow.

"It’s nothing."

"By the way, I haven’t seen Justin Walter all day... Isn’t he your personal bodyguard? Why is the driver today the one from home?"

Skyler Jones’s eyes looked out of the window, "You’ll never see him again."

"What?" Christine Quinn sat up from Skyler Jones’s lap in shock, "What happened to him?"

"Don’t be nervous..." Skyler Jones held Christine Quinn back in his arms, "He resigned."

Christine Quinn’s clear eyes widened even more than before, "How... how is that possible? He’s been with you for so many years, always loyal, and never once mentioned wanting to resign, how could he suddenly resign?"

"Rain is predestined to fall, and daughters will marry, since it doesn’t concern us, let him be!"

"What a pity, I thought Justin Walter was a nice person... People like you, it’s not easy to cultivate such trusted aides."

"If you keep talking like that, I’ll think you’re unwilling to let him go."

"You’re annoying, I’m just pitying for you... Besides, aren’t you the one reluctant to let him go?"

At this moment, Skyler Jones silenced her with a kiss...

Hospital.

Although she maintained a cheerful mindset along the way, trying to dispel all sadness, faced with the hospital’s white walls and its unique smell, Christine Quinn finally had to admit she still couldn’t accept this decision.

However, she didn’t want to make it difficult for Skyler Jones and knew this decision was the best for the family, she had no choice.

"Go ahead, the doctor is inside... I’ll wait here for you to come out."

Christine Quinn’s nose tingled with sadness, she nodded slightly.

Skyler Jones kissed Christine Quinn’s cheek, "Good girl..."

Christine Quinn tried to widen her eyes, not letting tears gather in them, she smiled and turned toward the doctor’s office.

Who would know how deeply she was hurting at this moment...

A small life was growing healthily inside her belly, yet she was about to cruelly destroy it...

She had once endured hardship and given birth to Marie, yet now she couldn’t keep this child...

It’s not that she was incapable, but now the responsibility she bore was much greater than before.

Before, she was alone, without concerns, even if she died on the operating table, no one would know. But now she has her loving family, her beloved husband, and a daughter who needs her...

If she was responsible for this child, she couldn’t be responsible for her entire family, so she had no choice.

Christine Quinn didn’t expect that in her desolate and lowest emotional state, she would meet Jonathon Gibson in the doctor’s office instead of the doctor.

Jonathon Gibson came from behind the doctor’s desk and stood in front of her. "Christine."

Christine Quinn was stunned, "Why are you here?"

"You mean, why am I in your operating surgeon’s office?" Jonathon Gibson smiled lightly, "You forget I told you I know many doctors, and the doctor doing your surgery is one I know."

"How did you know I was at this hospital?"

"You’ve always had your check-ups with him... I once asked him to call me if you came to the hospital again, so I knew you’d come today for surgery."

"You... you came to find me?"

"I’m here waiting for you..." Jonathon Gibson gazed intensely at Christine Quinn’s surprised face, "I’m sorry I didn’t keep my promise not to appear before you again, but I really have something important to tell you."

"Go ahead, I’m listening."

At this moment, Jonathon Gibson held Christine Quinn’s thin shoulders, looking at her with compassion, "I want you to be mentally prepared."

"I’m okay, go on."

Knowing that Skyler Jones was just outside the door, Jonathon Gibson didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "You should know about Jennifer Douglas leaving New York, right?"

Christine Quinn nodded, "I ran into her on the street last time... She told me she’s leaving New York, she also said she’s going to a remote place in India to Teach..."

"Yes, she’s already gone to India."

Christine Quinn was quite surprised, "She really went?"

"Yes, she left quite satisfied."

"Satisfied?" For some reason, the word Jonathon Gibson used made Christine Quinn feel very uncomfortable.
