Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 461 - 243: Take Him Back (Part 2)

The absent-minded Rebecca Quentin did not respond to the head nurse.

"Miss Quentin..." the head nurse called again.

Only then did Rebecca Quentin snap out of her daze and put down her phone, awkwardly accepting the porridge the head nurse handed over, "Sorry."

"It’s alright, drink up while it’s hot."

"Thank you."

After the head nurse left, Rebecca Quentin stared blankly at the porridge in the bowl.

She, with no appetite at all, originally wanted to force herself to drink the bowl of porridge, but after taking a sip, the bitterness that spread in her mouth made her unable to drink anymore.

The image she saw on her phone lingered in her mind, and she dazedly placed the porridge on the bedside table. Perhaps in her trance, she didn’t realize she hadn’t placed it securely, and the entire bowl of porridge fell to the floor the moment she let go...

Chester Robinson entered just as this scene unfolded.

Rebecca Quentin was startled by the sound of the bowl crashing, she got up to try and pick up the pieces, but Chester Robinson’s voice had already reached her, "Don’t get up, the nurse will clean it."

Rebecca Quentin looked up as Chester Robinson approached her.

Chester Robinson came over and placed his hand on her forehead, "Are you feeling better now?"

Rebecca Quentin nodded lightly.

Chester Robinson followed with an "Hmm," "Feels like the fever has gone down."

Rebecca Quentin leaned back against the headboard, "Thank you for bringing me to the hospital yesterday."

Chester Robinson’s usually gentle face turned serious for a moment, "You were sick and didn’t think to come to the hospital?"

"I took medicine at home..."

"Taking medicine doesn’t guarantee the fever will go down. If it doesn’t, you need to come to the hospital immediately. Even if you don’t come to the hospital right away, remember you’re living next door to a doctor."

"I thought it was okay..."

Chester Robinson frowned with displeasure, "If Manager Smith hadn’t told me and I was busy with hospital matters, would you have ended up sick at home?"

"Hey..." Rebecca Quentin complained, "I just got over my fever and now you’re blaming me."

"I just hope you learn to take care of yourself."

Rebecca Quentin lowered her head, muttering, "I’m not a child..."

Chester Robinson sighed helplessly, "Alright, your body is your own. If you don’t take care, there’s nothing I can do."

Rebecca Quentin, feeling like a child who had done something wrong, didn’t dare meet Chester Robinson’s angry gaze.

"You haven’t had the porridge, aren’t you hungry?"

"I accidentally spilled it..."

"I’ll go buy you another serving..."

"No need, I’ll eat something after I get discharged..."

Chester Robinson said frankly, "Who told you you’re getting discharged later?"

Rebecca Quentin quickly looked up, "I’m not getting discharged? I’m already better!"

Chester Robinson responded coldly, "You must stay one more day in the hospital for a nutritional drip, your body is in such poor shape and you don’t even care."

"I..."

"Get some more sleep, I’ll go buy you porridge."

Chester Robinson rose decisively and walked out of the ward.

"Hey, Doctor Robinson..."

Chester Robinson turned back impatiently, "Don’t tell me you don’t want to stay in the hospital!!"

The words Rebecca Quentin wanted to blurt out were swallowed back down her throat due to Chester Robinson’s warning, and she immediately changed to, "I wanted to say thank you for taking care of me all this time." According to the head nurse, he hadn’t slept at all last night and now was visiting her again, she didn’t know how to thank him.

Chester Robinson said nothing and left directly.

After the nurse swept up the pieces and left, the ward returned to tranquility.

Her emotional state wasn’t good, the light-hearted mood in front of Chester Robinson earlier was just her attempt to not make him worry...

She took out her phone to look at the news again, compared to the pain that tore at her heart earlier, her mind was now much calmer.

Not allowing herself to continue dwelling on it, she took a deep breath and returned a call to Mrs. Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey seemed to have been waiting for her call, as she almost immediately pressed the answer button, "Becca!"

"Aunt, I’m sorry, I lost control the other day..."

"It’s fine, where are you now?"

"I... I’m resting today, I’m at home."

Mrs. Geoffrey said joyfully, "That’s good, let’s meet again!"

Rebecca Quentin held the phone to her ear, her slightly stunned gaze moved towards the serene environment outside the hospital glass window, she spoke slowly, "Aunt, I know what you want to say... Actually, ever since the moment I decided to separate from Howard Geoffrey, the past generation’s grievances ended in my heart. So, about my father’s matter, I won’t pursue it anymore..."

She’s already so tired, let all matters end here!

Mrs. Geoffrey listened in silence.

Rebecca Quentin paused for a moment and continued, "I know you’re heartbroken that Andrew doesn’t have a mother by his side, but I know you and Howard Geoffrey will do your best to give him a happy childhood..."

Finally sensing the implication, Mrs. Geoffrey asked nervously, "Becca, are you saying you don’t plan to return to Howard Geoffrey?"

Rebecca Quentin’s plain gaze outside the window swept across a hint of pain, she remained calm as she spoke, "It’s been half a year, both he and I have changed... I think both he and I have adapted to new lives, we can no longer fit together."

"It doesn’t matter how well you fit as long as you still care about each other."

"Aunt, I..."

Mrs. Geoffrey urgently interrupted Rebecca Quentin, "Don’t lie to me saying you don’t care about Howard Geoffrey... You know you can’t hide this from me."

As a woman who also suffered a lifetime of emotional turmoil, how could Mrs. Geoffrey not understand the feeling of loving someone.

Rebecca Quentin didn’t deny it but didn’t reply to Mrs. Geoffrey either.

Mrs. Geoffrey earnestly persuaded, "How could you truly bear to see Andrew growing up in a family without a mother?"

Rebecca Quentin slowly lowered her eyelids, "He won’t be alone, Howard Geoffrey won’t let him lack motherly love."

"Becca, no other mom can be better than his real mom..."

Rebecca Quentin swallowed the bitterness in her throat, choking out, "But Howard Geoffrey and I are impossible..."

"How is it impossible?"

"He’s with Alice, isn’t he?"

"Do you think you would lose to Alice?"

Rebecca Quentin painfully closed her eyes, "Alice is indeed more suitable for him than I am..."

Mrs. Geoffrey directly stated, "But she’s not Andrew’s mother!"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head sorrowfully, "I never thought..."
