Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 786 - 407: Extra Story: Why Does His Heart Hurt So Much? (2)

Christine Quinn slightly nodded, her face still carrying a faint smile.

Jonathon Gibson gazed deeply at Christine Quinn.

She seemed thinner than a week ago, the veins on the back of her hand showing, her pale face hidden beneath a smile.

"Are you tired, do you want to lie down on the bed for a while?"

"Okay."

Jonathon Gibson helped Christine Quinn slowly stand up.

Her body was already very weak, like an oil-dried candle, ready to extinguish at any time.

Christine Quinn slowly walked to the bedside, and with Jonathon Gibson’s help, lay down on the bed.

Jonathon Gibson carefully tucked the quilt around Christine Quinn and softly instructed, "Sleep for a while, I’ll go out and buy lunch for you."

"Okay."

He tucked Christine Quinn’s hands into the quilt, and only then did Jonathon Gibson turn to leave.

Christine Quinn tiredly closed her eyes, quietly listening to the world.

She was very aware of her own body; she knew her days in this world were already numbered...

In this week in England, even though the doctors examined her every day and consulted on her condition, she knew that the final result remained irreversible...

She missed Marie a lot, and knows Marie must miss her too; she was really worried that Skyler wouldn’t be able to comfort Marie... she didn’t want her daughter to be sad.

How much time does she have left? A day, two days, or three days...

If the ultimate result were death, then let her not endure such pain and suffering anymore... even her heartbeat carried pain; such torment, she would rather die early.

She didn’t want to tell Jonathon Gibson that she had already given up, fearing to betray the determination with which he brought her all the way here for treatment...

The debt she owed Jonathon Gibson, she probably couldn’t repay in full.

At noon, Jonathon Gibson brought lunch over...

Christine Quinn sat leaning against the bed, intending to lift the bowl of soup herself, but who expected, she was so weak she couldn’t even hold the bowl steady.

If Jonathon Gibson hadn’t caught the bowl of soup quickly, her hand would likely have been scalded by the soup.

Jonathon Gibson was clearly unprepared for how severe Christine Quinn’s condition had become; he looked at her in surprise.

Christine Quinn forced a wan smile as an explanation, "I just slipped a little..."

He knew her condition had worsened, also knew she was always trying to maintain the best state in front of him, but he didn’t expect her body had deteriorated to this extent.

He didn’t expose the good condition she tried to maintain, instead silently scooping a spoonful of soup, blowing it, and bringing it to her mouth, "I’ll feed you."

She really didn’t have any appetite, but still obediently opened her pale lips and took a sip.

Jonathon Gibson patiently fed her spoonful by spoonful, to keep her spirits up, he occasionally told her jokes from all over, trying hard to lighten the somber mood in the ward.

She kept holding her eyes open to keep herself from falling asleep, not wanting to let down his intentions, but she was really very tired...

She really wanted to just fall asleep like this, then have a beautiful, beautiful dream, and finally immerse herself in it, even if she never woke up again.

Doctor’s office.

Jonathon Gibson nervously asked, "Doctor, how is Christine’s condition?"

The doctor sighed heavily, shaking his head, "I’m sorry, Mr. Gibson..." The doctor handed him a report. "This is the third examination report we’ve done for Miss Quinn... the results still show that Miss Christine Quinn would fare better with heart surgery than without."

Jonathon Gibson spat out angrily, "If your hospital is going to have the same diagnosis as the other hospitals, then why did I bother coming to your hospital?"

"I’m truly sorry, Mr. Gibson... Miss Quinn’s body is rejecting too severely, even if we can perform surgery now, her body might not withstand it..."

"I don’t care, you must come up with a treatment plan, if Christine can’t be discharged from here healthy and sound, I guarantee I’ll make it so your hospital can no longer stand in London."

"Mr. Gibson, we really have tried our best... after four days and three nights of consultations, we’ve discussed all feasible options, but there’s still no solution that can be applied to Miss Quinn..."

Jonathon Gibson slammed the table hard in anger and spat out, "I said, I don’t need any excuses... I must have Christine discharged healthily!!"

Y City.

Why did she decide to leave with Jonathon Gibson and not to return?
