Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 802 - 415: Extra Story: He Loves Her, He Can’t Live Without Her 2

"Don’t drink anymore, Oversky, if you keep drinking you will get alcohol poisoning!!" Mrs. Geoffrey said, her heart aching as she snatched the bottle from Skyler Jones’ hand and choked out, "The dead can’t come back to life, what’s the point of all this suffering? If you won’t think of yourself, consider Marie. If Marie were here now and saw you like this, how would you hide the news of Christine’s passing from her?"

Skyler Jones remained indifferent, like someone who had lost all consciousness, caring nothing for the world.

As Mrs. Geoffrey came out of the room, she ran into Howard Geoffrey.

Howard Geoffrey’s face was heavy as he asked, "How is he, brother?"

Mrs. Geoffrey wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and said painfully, "He hasn’t said a word until now. He drinks until he’s drunk, wakes up, and drinks again..."

Howard gently supported his mother, "Mom, don’t worry too much. He still has Marie. He won’t stay down forever."

Mrs. Geoffrey still covered her mouth and cried bitterly.

Howard held his mother’s trembling body tightly, his voice slightly hoarse, "I won’t let anything happen to him."

Mrs. Geoffrey hung her head and wailed, "How could this happen... Why did Christine have to leave us... I don’t believe it..."

"Mom..."

Mrs. Geoffrey’s eyes overflowed with tears as she looked at Howard, "Yes?"

"I have something to tell you, let’s talk in another place."

Mrs. Geoffrey saw a deeper meaning in Howard’s eyes and nodded accordingly.

Mrs. Geoffrey was surprised to see Rebecca Quentin in the room of Howard and his wife, appearing much calmer than she expected.

"Becca, you..."

Rebecca Quentin came forward and supported Mrs. Geoffrey, respectfully calling her, "Mom."

Mrs. Geoffrey grasped Rebecca Quentin’s hand, "Are you alright?"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "Mom, I’m fine..." Then helped Mrs. Geoffrey sit down at the head of the bed.

Mrs. Geoffrey looked at Rebecca Quentin in confusion, "You..."

Rebecca Quentin sat beside Mrs. Geoffrey and forced a smile at her, "Sister is not dead."

"What?" Mrs. Geoffrey stared in shock with wide eyes.

"Mom, forgive me for not telling you right away," said Howard.

Mrs. Geoffrey stood up from the edge of the bed with a "swish," "Becca, what are you saying? Christine isn’t dead?"

Rebecca Quentin nodded slightly.

Mrs. Geoffrey looked at Howard in disbelief.

Howard then took out his phone, pressed a few buttons on the screen, and handed the phone to Mrs. Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey dumbfoundedly took the phone, and Rebecca Quentin helped her press play on the video.

The next second, a recorded video started playing inside the phone—

The background was in a spacious, tidy hospital room. Christine Quinn lay on the hospital bed, her face thin and lacking any color.

Mrs. Geoffrey was stunned, "This..."

Howard signaled with his eyes for Mrs. Geoffrey to watch on.

The camera focused on Christine Quinn’s frail face. At this moment, she still managed to muster a smile and, with considerable effort, parted her ashen lips, "Mom, Becca..."

"It’s now after my second surgery... I’m really lucky to have survived both surgeries. I’m also very fortunate that such a low-success-rate surgery let me win one more time by luck... I know you must be very confused as to why I left this video for you, it’s because I don’t want you to be sad and grieve when you hear of my ’death’ because I’m alright... at least, I can say I’m okay for now..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

At this point, Christine Quinn paused for a few seconds due to her physical weakness and then continued after a brief rest, "The reason I had to give such ’news of death’ is because I really wanted to make a clean break with the past. I wanted to live a life for myself, not for that someone... I heard from Howard that he’s been in a bad mood recently, he’s been looking for me, I also saw the newspaper he posted, and I know he’s been living quite despondently. I can even imagine the sadness he might feel when he hears about my ’death’... I know what I’m doing might be a bit selfish to him, but I understand clearly that this is the best ending for both of us."

Christine Quinn struggled to swallow the lump in her throat, but her voice was still hoarse, "I don’t know what kind of feelings made him look for me, but it’s all too late... not to mention that even though I have had surgery, I don’t know when I might die, even if I’m really physically well now, he and I couldn’t possibly have a beautiful ending, because some hurts in the heart can never be erased, just like my ’betrayal’ left a deep mark on his heart that will never go away... For so many years, all the things I’ve done for him were never to be with him again, I just hope he can be better off because I understand more than anyone how fragile his heart is..."
