Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 789 - 408: Extra: Why Does His Heart Hurt So Much? (Part 3_2)
"So, you’re here for Marie."
"That’s right."
"Skyler Jones, initially when you followed us to England, I thought you still had some conscience towards Christine, but your explanation now makes any sympathy I might have had for you vanish instantly... You’re not worthy of sympathy at all, even if you never see Christine again in this life, it serves you right!!"
Skyler Jones’s sharp eyes narrowed into a line, a dangerous glint flashing in them.
Jonathon Gibson laughed loudly without fear, "One day, you will regret your current avoidance, and you will regret never cherishing Christine."
Yes, from the first meeting with Skyler Jones, he was very clear that Skyler’s feelings for Christine were not at all what they appeared on the surface.
Whether it was the occasional glance Skyler threw when he was close to Christine at the party, or the several warnings not to stay too close to her, or his pursuit to England... all of this indicated that Skyler’s feelings for Christine were by no means ordinary.
He had always wanted to tell Christine about this, but every time he tried, all he saw on her face was disappointment and hurt...
He didn’t know how Skyler was hurting Christine, but he was clear that she was not happy with him, even if she might deeply love him.
He had some sense of guilt for not telling Christine about this, but at this moment he suddenly felt his decision was correct, Skyler simply does not deserve Christine.
"I don’t have the patience to waste time with you here... Tell me, what exactly is wrong with Christine Quinn’s health? What room is she in at this hospital?"
"I won’t tell you... all you bring her is harm."
"You can choose not to tell me, but you know this is only delaying me... If you were a bit smarter, you’d turn around now and go to the hospital room to find Christine Quinn and let her know I’m coming ahead of time, instead of me barging in and causing any unnecessary trouble."
"You..."
Clearly, Skyler Jones, skilled at grasping people’s hearts, had successfully struck at Jonathon’s inner feelings. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
At this moment, Jonathon was caught in an internal struggle. Indeed, as Skyler said... he simply couldn’t stop him, and if he turned around now to tell Christine that Skyler had come to find her, he could at least prepare her mentally.
Skyler had apparently anticipated Jonathon’s thoughts, smiling slightly as he asked, "Have you thought it over?"
At that second, Jonathon turned back in frustration and walked into the hospital. "Follow me... However, you better keep your word."
Skyler replied sincerely, "Rest assured, I will give you the time to notify her."
Skyler’s attendants blocked the hospital corridor, instantly cloaking the hospital in a solemn atmosphere.
Jonathon had already gone into the room to see Christine Quinn, while Skyler waited outside.
For some reason, as Skyler stood outside Christine Quinn’s room, looking at the prominent words "Cardiothoracic Surgery" above the door, his heart grew increasingly uneasy.
Originally, when he was in Y City, he had guessed her condition might be complicated, otherwise, she wouldn’t have abandoned Marie, but now he was in England, seeing the doctor’s business card and standing at the entrance of a Cardiothoracic Surgery room, his sense of unease was deepening.
He knew that her body was most afraid of issues related to the heart.
"Christine is missing!!"
A loud shout interrupted Skyler’s thoughts.
Skyler looked up to see Jonathon rushing out of the room...
Jonathon immediately grabbed the nurse standing outside the room and anxiously asked, "Where’s Christine? Where did she go?"
The nurse, holding a drip and about to enter the room, looked utterly baffled, "Miss Quinn... isn’t she in the room?"
"Damn it, where has Christine gone!!" Jonathon asked the nurse hysterically.
The nurse was terrified by Jonathon’s imposing manner, "I... I don’t know either..."
Seeing the situation, Skyler frowned deeply.
At that moment, Jonathon dashed to the restroom, then to the doctor’s office, and finally to the elevator...
However, as Jonathon rushed into the elevator, several of Skyler’s men intercepted him.
Jonathon furiously uttered, "Let me through!"
Without Skyler’s command, the men did not allow him to pass.
Jonathon glared at Skyler in rage, "Christine is missing, and you still stand here indifferent?"
Skyler smirked and scoffed, "Don’t play tricks with me, Jonathon, this is obviously some scheme you made to inform her in advance, allowing her to leave the hospital early."
Jonathon, crazed, blurted out, "I didn’t, you showing up suddenly, how would I have the time to warn her in advance..."
Jonathon’s words made Skyler lose some of his certainty.
At this time, the nurse who had entered the room earlier hurriedly ran out holding a note, "Mr. Gibson, Mr. Gibson..."
Jonathon impatiently said, "What is it?"
The nurse approached Jonathon and kindly said, "There seems to be a note left for you by Miss Quinn."
Jonathon immediately reached out to take it, but the note was snatched by Skyler a second earlier.
When Jonathon tried to snatch it back from Skyler, Skyler’s attendants had already blocked him to the side.
"What did Christine say... Skyler... you bastard..."
Skyler ignored Jonathon’s rants, his gaze already fixed on the note in his hand.
Jonathon:
Thank you for taking care of me during this time. There are no words to express my gratitude... But the stale air and oppressive environment of the hospital are really not my ideal place to stay, please forgive me for leaving on my own, do not look for me, I will always wish you well—Christine.
Skyler had just finished reading the note when Jonathon, exerting all his strength, broke through Skyler’s attendants and snatched the note.
Looking at the handwriting Christine left on the note, Jonathon turned and rushed into the elevator.
This time, Skyler did not stop Jonathon but ordered his attendants to follow him to find Christine.
In order to find Christine, Jonathon no longer cared about his rift with Skyler, he instructed Skyler’s men to search along the nearest streets, while he searched for Christine in places around the hospital where she might appear...
