Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 567 - 296: Finally Together (Part 2)

Rebecca Quentin nodded and then asked, "By the way, how did you know I just had surgery?"

"Miss Quentin, did you touch the wound?"

Doctor Henley, who rushed to the ward, interrupted Rebecca Quentin and Howard Geoffrey’s conversation.

Howard Geoffrey quickly said, "Can you check her? She should have tugged at the wound just now."

Doctor Henley was delighted to see Howard Geoffrey, "Mr. Geoffrey, long time no see."

Howard Geoffrey responded politely, "Long time no see."

The last time Rebecca Quentin was pregnant, Howard Geoffrey always accompanied her here for check-ups, so he was quite familiar with Doctor Henley, who naturally knew Howard Geoffrey’s identity as well.

While Doctor Henley was examining Rebecca Quentin, Howard Geoffrey did not intend to avoid it, but Rebecca Quentin pushed him away, "Can you... can you go out for a bit?"

Howard Geoffrey softly said, "I’ll stay here with you."

Rebecca Quentin insisted, "No, go out."

Howard Geoffrey held Rebecca Quentin’s hand tightly, "What’s wrong?"

Doctor Henley spoke at that moment, "Mr. Geoffrey, perhaps you should step out..."

Rebecca Quentin nodded in agreement.

Howard Geoffrey reluctantly got up, worriedly kissed Rebecca Quentin’s forehead, and said tenderly, "I’m outside, call me if you need anything."

Rebecca Quentin obediently replied, "Okay."

After Howard Geoffrey left the ward, Doctor Henley gently helped Rebecca Quentin lie down on the bed and laughed lightly, "Afraid Mr. Geoffrey would see the scar on your abdomen?"

Rebecca Quentin’s eyes widened in surprise, "Doctor Henley, how did you know?"

A smile widened on Doctor Henley’s lips, "A lot of young girls who’ve had c-sections are like you, very afraid their husbands will see the scars on their abdomens..."

Rebecca Quentin nodded, "Yes, the scar is so wide and ugly, it’s like a centipede."

Doctor Henley laughed at Rebecca Quentin’s words, "You should be thankful your surgery was performed by the renowned Mr. Abel, otherwise your scar size would really look like after a c-section..."

"I’m also very grateful to Doctor Abel."

Doctor Henley adjusted Rebecca Quentin’s clothes, "I checked your wound. The gauze isn’t stained with blood, so it shouldn’t have opened up the wound. To spare you pain, I won’t wrap it again. Be careful next time and pay attention to the wound."

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Henley."

Doctor Henley pulled the quilt over Rebecca Quentin, looking at her with gentle eyes, smiling, "Miss Quentin, despite not seeing Mr. Geoffrey and you together for over half a year, there are many news about you and Mr. Geoffrey, I always knew you and Mr. Geoffrey would be together ultimately."

Rebecca Quentin was quite surprised, "Doctor Henley, you know he..." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Doctor Henley teased, "Of course I know, don’t you think doctors don’t watch the news?"

Rebecca Quentin showed an embarrassed expression.

"But I’m not one to gossip or report to media... just now, because I’m concerned about my colleague, I can’t help but ask you a gossip question: How do you plan to handle your relationship with Chester Robinson?"

"What?" Rebecca Quentin couldn’t react for a moment.

Doctor Henley directly said, "Don’t tell me you don’t know Doctor Robinson has always had feelings for you."

Not expecting such a blunt question from Doctor Henley, Rebecca Quentin found herself at a loss for words.

"I inadvertently overheard Doctor Robinson talking about asking for leave with the dean when I passed by the dean’s office. He seemed to say he wanted to ask for half a month’s leave... You know why he’s asking for leave, so, if you and Mr. Geoffrey leave, then what about Doctor Robinson?"

Rebecca Quentin, who had never thought about this issue before, was momentarily stunned.

Doctor Henley said seriously, "Miss Quentin, Doctor Robinson is the most popular male doctor in our hospital. He recently won the Gairdner Foundation International Award, his qualifications make him a youthful talent without exaggeration, even though Miss Quentin has always seen Doctor Robinson as a friend, I can’t help but speak for Doctor Robinson... When you were hospitalized after your miscarriage, Doctor Robinson personally made nourishing soup for you, and he continuously invited many doctors from around the world for your check-ups, these doctors were all invited at great cost of favors and money by Doctor Robinson, and when you fell ill, fearing your fever wouldn’t break, he stayed by your side all night, personally helping with the wet towel... He’s done so many things for you silently... Miss Quentin, I’m not saying these to influence your choice, just sincerely speaking for Doctor Robinson."

Rebecca Quentin’s bright eyes gradually dimmed, yet her thoughts surged like tides.

Doctor Henley silently left the ward.

"What are you thinking about?"

A magnetic, deep voice abruptly interrupted Rebecca Quentin’s thoughts.

Rebecca Quentin looked up, realizing Howard Geoffrey had unknowingly entered the ward, now sitting on the edge of the bed, frowning at her.

Rebecca Quentin shook her head.

Howard Geoffrey sensitively asked, "Did Doctor Henley say something to you?"

Rebecca Quentin’s voice was slightly astringent, "She didn’t say anything... By the way, did you see Doctor Robinson when you were outside?"

"No."

"He went to help me with discharge procedures."

"Oh, did he?"

"Yes, he’s always taken good care of me, and I could have the surgery because he asked Doctor Abel to help."

Howard Geoffrey kissed Rebecca Quentin’s forehead, "I will ’thank’ him properly for you."

"But, Howard..."

Rebecca Quentin’s anxious words were interrupted by Howard Geoffrey, "He likes you, right?"

Rebecca Quentin bit her lip and awkwardly said, "He never thought we would be together again..."

Howard Geoffrey held Rebecca Quentin’s shoulders and softly said, "I’ll explain to him."

"No, I want to tell him myself."

"I know what you’re worried about, but I’ll make it clear to him, including my issue with Alice Robinson, I definitely won’t hurt him."

"But I still want to personally tell him..."

Howard Geoffrey’s brow furrowed slightly, showing some impatience, "Listen."

"Okay, if he wants to see me, you must let him see me."

"Alright."

During the conversation, faint voices could be heard from outside the ward.

Rebecca Quentin listened carefully and heard Jason Wood preventing Chester Robinson from entering the ward.

"Howard Geoffrey..."

Interrupting Rebecca Quentin’s anxious voice, Howard Geoffrey quickly said, "Let me go out and talk to him... I promise you, if he wants to see you, I will let him in."

Rebecca Quentin could only nod in agreement.
