Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 803 - 415: Extra Story: He Loves Her, He Can’t Live Without Her (2-2)
"So, Mom, Becca... please don’t regret that my relationship with him ended up like this, and please forgive my selfishness in asking you for one thing: don’t let Skyler Jones know about me, at least while I’m still in this world, let me truly live for myself once..."
"Please take good care of Marie for me. If a miracle from heaven lets me survive, one day I will come back to find my daughter, I beg of you."
"Also, don’t blame Howard Geoffrey, I implored him to do all of this... Lastly, I wish you all well, Mom, may your health be as enduring as the mountains, and Becca, may you and Howard Geoffrey find eternal happiness... Don’t worry."
After watching the video, Mrs. Geoffrey was already in tears. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Rebecca Quentin’s eyes were also brimming with tears, but her emotions had calmed considerably compared to the first time she saw the video.
Mrs. Geoffrey covered her mouth to suppress her sobbing and asked, "So, despite Christine Quinn’s surgery, her life is still in danger..."
Rebecca Quentin bit her lip and nodded.
"Is it really incurable?" Mrs. Geoffrey looked at Howard Geoffrey hopefully.
Howard Geoffrey sighed and shook his head, "I’ve hired the best doctors in the world, they’ve all done their best."
Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but curse, "Then what’s the point of the surgery?"
"At least those doctors have preserved Christine’s life for a while..."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s voice trembled, "Then, then exactly how much time does Christine have..."
Howard Geoffrey reluctantly spoke, "Not more than three months."
Upon hearing Howard Geoffrey’s words, Rebecca Quentin, who had been holding back her tears, finally lost control, covered her mouth, and burst into sobs.
Mrs. Geoffrey’s eyes were vacant as she murmured, "Three, three months..."
For Christine Quinn, she lived for her mother before meeting Skyler Jones; after meeting Skyler Jones, she lived for him and Marie. Therefore, in these remaining three months, she will want to live for herself...
Once Mrs. Geoffrey regained her composure, she asked, "Where is Christine now?"
"She said she wanted to go to a place she’s wanted to visit for a long time, I’ve already arranged for someone to send her."
Mrs. Geoffrey asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
"Sorry, mom, I can’t let Howard Geoffrey tell you because I know you’ll feel for Mr. Jones..." Rebecca Quentin bit her lip gloomily and struggled to say emotionally, "I can’t let Mr. Jones know my sister’s whereabouts, he’s already delayed and missed half of her life, for the last three months, let’s allow my sister the selfishness to have a period in her life without worrying about anyone or anything."
Considering Marie, Christine Quinn’s "death news" was not made public, which also gave Rebecca Quentin and others a reason not to hold a funeral for Christine Quinn.
Skyler Jones’s level of despondency was more severe than everyone imagined...
He spent more than a month in that dim room, accompanied by alcohol day and night, at its worst, he was hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning...
Fortunately, after being admitted to the hospital, when he heard Marie crying beside him, he realized he still had Marie to care for.
Therefore, from that day on, he came back to life.
Even though he was more silent and reserved than before, he still pretended to be unconcerned in front of Marie and continued to tell her the lie that Christine Quinn simply didn’t want to return to him.
On this day, Skyler Jones sat alone in the study, lost in thought.
Marie ran in from outside, holding a book, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Skyler Jones snapped back to reality and looked at his daughter, "Hm?"
Marie handed the book to Skyler Jones.
"What is it?" Skyler Jones asked.
"It’s a diary."
"Your diary?"
Marie shook her head, "It’s Mommy’s."
"Your Mommy’s?"
"Yes... Daddy, did you forget? When we came to New York, we brought Mommy’s things over, and the aunties found this diary while tidying up the house. I wanted to give it to you, but during that time, you were drinking every day..."
Skyler Jones stared deeply at the diary with its white cover, his chest throbbing with pain.
"Daddy, the diary has a lock, I can’t open it... can you open it?"
"Let me try."
Skyler Jones took the diary, looked at the combination lock, and concentrated for a moment.
Suddenly, he entered a series of numbers.
No one expected that he would so accurately guess the password she set on her diary, with a click, the diary opened.
He hadn’t expected to find one of her photos inside the diary, in the photo she looked youthful, sweet, and adorable.
He took the photo, looking at her for a long time, the pain in his heart rippling.
Suddenly, he put down the photo and casually opened a page.
The diary bore her graceful handwriting.
Month X Day X, Weather: Sunny, Mood: From sunny to overcast.
Today Jonathon called to ask me out again...
I know his feelings for me, I don’t want him to continue wasting time on me, so this time I agreed to meet him.
I hadn’t expected that he knew full well what I wanted to say to him; he proactively told me he and I would only be friends, which made it much easier for me.
More unexpectedly, today he brought me a photo taken when I was seventeen.
Looking at the photo of my seventeen-year-old self, I couldn’t help but sigh at the passage of time, a decade passing in the blink of an eye...
I still remember why I took that picture; back then, I wanted to have a lovely photo to place in Skyler Jones’s wallet, so he could see me every day and always remember me...
The pity is, after taking this photo back then, I never found it, of course, I didn’t know Jonathon had taken the photo, so I never managed to place it in Skyler Jones’s wallet... Now looking back, maybe it was destined back then that he could never see me every day, nor always remember me.
The meal with Jonathon was very enjoyable, but I hadn’t expected that when parting, Jonathon unintentionally mentioned Skyler Jones and Jennifer Douglas’s affair...
I thought I wouldn’t care at all, but at that moment, upon learning that he and Jennifer Douglas were seen together publicly, my heart felt like being pierced by needles, it hurt so much.
