Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 647 - 337: The Island Has Been Set Up
Andrew felt more and more uneasy and could only squat beside Mommy.
The elevator doors suddenly opened, and a kind person seeing Rebecca Quentin injured, immediately helped her out of the elevator.
The bodyguards, whom Rebecca Quentin had instructed to stay in the parking lot, saw the hotel waiter assisting her over and promptly carried her into the car.
Seeing Mommy cry, Andrew had no mood to look for Daddy, so he quietly let the bodyguard uncle carry him into the car.
Upon returning home, everyone in the Geoffrey household was stunned by the sight of Rebecca Quentin silently weeping...
They frequently asked her questions, but she remained silent, refusing to answer, and retreated into her room, wrapping herself tightly in the sheets.
"How did this happen after a trip downtown?" asked Mrs. Geoffrey concernedly outside the door.
"We are also unsure. At the time, Lady Geoffrey didn’t allow us to accompany her into the hotel..." the bodyguard bowed his head and fearfully explained.
Mrs. Geoffrey turned to inquire about Andrew, who was being held by a servant, "Little darling, what’s wrong with Mommy?"
Andrew tilted his handsome little face and frowned, saying, "Mommy... bumped into something, it hurt... it hurt!"
"Where did she get hurt? How did she get injured?" Mrs. Geoffrey knowingly nodded and promptly instructed the servant, "Have Dr. Horace come over and take a look. If her knee is injured, it’s not a small matter."
"Yes." As the servant turned to leave, she suddenly thought she ought to inform the master about the mistress’s injury and couldn’t help but ask, "Madam, should we call Mr. Geoffrey and have him come back early?"
"He seems to have a social engagement."
Andrew shook Mrs. Geoffrey’s hand, "Grandma, Andrew wants Daddy..."
Mrs. Geoffrey couldn’t bear to refuse her beloved grandson and nodded to the servant, "Just inform Howard then!"
Howard received a call from home, and upon learning that Rebecca Quentin was injured, he rushed back immediately.
The first thing he did when he got home was dash upstairs and turn the door, heading straight for his sweet wife’s bed.
"Becca!"
This damn woman, he was just coming home a little late, how did she manage to get herself injured?
If it weren’t for her legs being wrapped in layers of thick gauze right now, he would really want to give her a good scolding.
"Son, Becca just had an injection and fell asleep, don’t wake her." Mrs. Geoffrey stood by the door examining the damaged room door, pitying the door! It’s understandable he was eager to see Becca, but even being impatient should not lead him to irrationally twist the door open. The fact that the doorknob fell off due to his strength... it was truly immense destructive power.
"Mom, how did Becca get hurt like this?" Wasn’t she supposed to be fine at home?
"She went out and then came back like this."
"She went out?" Howard’s heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, this afternoon she said she was going to meet someone familiar, and since she seemed bored at home, I let her go... Andrew also went along. According to the bodyguards, she went to the hospital, and afterwards..."
In the study, Howard was furious.
Howard’s eagle-like sharp black eyes coldly swept over the people in front of him, "Why wasn’t I informed when she went out?"
The two bodyguards lowered their heads timidly in the face of their boss’s towering rage, only one dared to explain in a small voice, "We planned to report to you after returning, but..." the bodyguard dared not mention Rebecca Quentin’s injury, fearing it would provoke Howard’s even greater anger.
"I thought I had said nothing regarding her matters, however small, should be kept from me."
The bodyguards dared not speak further, bowing their heads lower.
At that moment, Jason Wood walked in from outside.
The two bodyguards looked at Jason Wood as if grabbing onto a lifeline, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
Jason Wood said, "Boss, I investigated the hotel’s surveillance recordings... the mistress tripped over a suitcase, and from the situation at the time, it looks like she was seriously injured." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
"How did you protect her?" Howard questioned angrily.
"Lady Geoffrey didn’t allow us to follow her inside, she said she would be out shortly..." the bodyguard, afraid of inciting the boss’ anger, said in a trembling voice.
"You don’t need to come back from tomorrow onward!!"
The bodyguards didn’t dare have any complaints and silently left the study.
Jason Wood sighed softly, "I think they never expected such an accident to occur."
Howard angrily sat back on his office chair, his handsome face grim and serious.
Jason Wood spoke softly, "Boss, I think you can no longer conceal matters from the mistress..."
Howard leaned back in the chair, tiredly rubbing his brow, "I know."
"And Roye just called; the island is already prepared."
Howard raised his head, suppressing his fatigue, and took a deep breath, his tone somewhat calmer, "Alright, you can leave now!"
Jason Wood nodded and then turned and left.
Howard lovingly caressed the tender fair skin on Becca’s head, gazing at his sweet wife who had fallen into deep sleep, feeling a myriad of heartaches that he had inadvertently caused her harm.
He had already instructed Lisa Cecily on every matter of the company. The vice president will handle it for the second half of the year, so he has half a year to spend with her... he even plans to step back entirely like his elder brother, letting his world revolve solely around her.
He knew that the last time she went to the company, she saw that admission record.
At that time, he got angry and scolded her, but did she know why he was so furious? Because he was scared at that time, afraid she would question him...
God knows how many times he regretted being harsh to her this time in his heart?
Seeing her clearly wronged but pretending not to care, how could he not know how hard she’s trying to maintain their relationship?
He was just hesitating, but if he had known she would get hurt because of a misunderstanding today, he would rather have told her everything from the start.
"What did the doctor say?" Howard asked Mrs. Geoffrey, who was also deeply distressed beside him.
"The doctor said if Becca had fallen more seriously, she could have had a comminuted fracture."
"How could it be that serious?" Howard clenched the sheets in distress.
"The bodyguards said Becca was helped to the parking lot by the hotel staff at that time, so it must have hurt a lot." Mrs. Geoffrey gently patted Howard’s shoulder, "It’s okay, the doctor said it’s painful, but fortunately, it’s not an injury to the bones or muscles, considered a superficial wound, and she’ll recover quickly after a few days of rest."
Howard caressed her face with infinite affection. Would she know how his heart ached at this moment?
Mrs. Geoffrey said, "I’ll instruct the servants to make some bone broth for Becca to help her recover... By the way, Becca spent the whole morning learning how to make soup with Aunt May in the kitchen, and in the afternoon, she made a pot. She said it tasted great and was waiting for you to come back and praise her!"
