Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 795 - 411: Extra: Seeking Her Forgiveness 2_2
She is beside him, even a smile is so cautious... It’s clear what kind of grievances she has been enduring all these years.
Knock, knock.
A heavy knock on the door is heard.
"Come in." His gaze remains fixed on the LCD TV.
A burly man in a black suit enters from outside; he is Skyler Jones’s most competent subordinate.
"Mr. Jones."
"Speak."
The man glances at the photo of Christine Quinn on the LCD screen, the words he wants to say suddenly stuck in his throat.
Skyler Jones slightly furrows his brows, "What do you want to say? Stop hesitating."
The man bows his head, holding back in hesitation.
Skyler Jones’s cold gaze sweeps over him.
The man carefully lifts his eyes, anxiously looking at his boss, hesitantly saying, "The hospital on Second Avenue in London reported that a woman from the Flowery Kingdom suddenly collapsed due to a heart condition last night, and was sent to the hospital by a passerby..."
Skyler Jones stands up from his chair, "Is it Christine Quinn?"
"I came to report this to you immediately, and have already sent someone to the hospital to verify."
Without a moment’s delay, Skyler Jones puts on his suit jacket and rushes out of the room. "To the hospital!"
"Hey, Mr. Jones, Mr. Jones, I have more to say..." The man quickly chases after him.
On the way to the hospital, the driver keeps wanting to say something, "Mr... Mr. Jones..."
"If you have something to say, just say it." Skyler Jones is clearly losing his patience.
The man looks forward, finally forcing himself to say, "I didn’t finish earlier... After the Oriental woman was sent to the hospital, she couldn’t be saved despite resuscitation."
"What are you talking about!!" Skyler Jones’s roar echoes throughout the car.
The man is so frightened that he swerves the steering wheel, his body trembling.
In the next moment, Skyler Jones heavily leans back into the chair.
When Skyler Jones arrives at the hospital, he meets Howard Geoffrey arriving at the same time.
Howard Geoffrey looks serious, obviously having received the same news.
Skyler Jones and Howard Geoffrey follow the hospital staff all the way to the deepest part of the mortuary...
When the staff wearing gloves pulls the body out from the freezer, no one notices Skyler Jones’s deep dark pupils retracting little by little out of fear.
In the next moment, everyone in the mortuary breathes a heavy sigh of relief...
Even Howard Geoffrey’s face shows obvious relief.
Skyler Jones’s dark pupils slowly expand again, returning to his usual calm.
"It’s not her."
Howard Geoffrey says to the staff.
The staff apologizes and pushes the body back into the freezer.
Skyler Jones has already turned around, his face so somber that no expression can be seen.
Howard Geoffrey comforts Skyler Jones, "At least it’s good news."
Skyler Jones says nothing, and walks straight out of the mortuary.
Outside the hospital doors, Skyler Jones is stopped by Howard Geoffrey’s people, his gaze coldly directed at Howard Geoffrey.
Howard Geoffrey’s tall figure approaches Skyler Jones, the two almost the same height, so his pitch-black eyes stare directly at his big brother, "If the person lying in the freezer now were Christine Quinn, what would you do?"
Skyler Jones directly says, "I won’t answer hypothetical questions!"
Howard Geoffrey’s narrow, dark eyes squint into a line, looking askance at him, "Would you regret it forever?"
Skyler Jones steps forward, grabbing Howard Geoffrey’s collar, "Don’t think you understand me so well; in this world, only I know myself best."
Howard Geoffrey has an innate aura, he’s not intimidated by his big brother’s threat; instead, he calmly removes Skyler Jones’s hand from his collar, smirking coldly, "Look at you earlier in the mortuary, trembling with fear, afraid the person inside was Christine Quinn, right?"
Skyler Jones releases Howard Geoffrey forcefully, "Don’t test my patience!!"
In that moment, Howard Geoffrey bites his teeth and grabs Skyler Jones’s collar, "In your current state, even if Christine is still in London, do you think she’d come out to see you? Brother, do you know how pathetic you are right now? You don’t want to love anyone who cares about you, causing everyone you love to keep a distance from you... And right now, the person you love most, you should have been by her side through this difficult time, but she chose to stay away from you, simply because she never felt you cared about her... Brother, how long will you stay so stubbornly blind to the truth, do you know Christine is about to die; do you really want to wait until she’s dead to realize how important she was to you?"
After speaking, Howard Geoffrey forcefully pushes Skyler Jones away, seeing Skyler Jones’s eyes slightly dazed, he suppresses his anger, coldly saying, "I think, you don’t need me to teach you what you should do next."
Meanwhile, in another part of London.
White ceiling, white walls, clean and fresh furniture, and a heavy smell of medicine...
Christine Quinn slowly opens her heavy eyelids, seeing the hospital environment she has become most familiar with during this time.
Christine Quinn lightly parts her pale lips, wanting to speak, but finds her throat too dry to utter a word.
At this time, a young nurse carefully helps her, feeding her some water. "Thank God, Miss Quinn, you’re finally awake."
Christine Quinn leans against the nurse, her dry throat finally able to produce sound after moistening, "Where... where is this?"
"This is a hospital."
"Doctor?" Her last memory was boarding a bus leaving London city center, thinking she had already left London. "Why am I in a hospital? Where is this?"
"This is a private hospital invested by Mr. Mantefer; you’ve been hospitalized here for a week."
"A week?"
"Yes... It was really dangerous; your heart stopped beating twice, luckily the doctors saved you in time. Right now, the world’s best cardiothoracic surgeons are in the next office discussing your condition, ready to operate on you at any time."
"Do I... do I still have a chance?"
The nurse smiles and nods at Christine Quinn, "You will survive." Although the doctors still haven’t found a solution to cure her.
