Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 755 - 391: Extra Story: His Sarcasm 2_2

Christine Quinn acted as if nothing was wrong, "Hello, you still haven’t told me what time it is... It’s already dark, I need to hurry back, otherwise my daughter will be home alone."

Jonathon Gibson’s voice was low and serious, "From now on, you must stay in the hospital. You’re not allowed to go anywhere!!"

"Jonathon, you know very well that even if I stay in the hospital now, my body can’t..."

"Damn it, if you had been hospitalized earlier, at least your condition wouldn’t have deteriorated so quickly, and I would have more time to fight for a chance to treat you!!"

"Fool, if I was in the hospital, would you have been able to meet me?"

"Don’t twist words with me... You’re not allowed to go anywhere!!"

"Jonathon..."

Just as Christine was pleading with Jonathon, a nurse pushed the door open and asked, "Excuse me, have you reached the patient’s family? If hospitalization is necessary, the doctor needs to talk to the patient’s direct relatives."

Christine answered the nurse, "Sorry, I’m not staying in the hospital. I’m getting discharged now."

Jonathon, with a sullen face, told the nurse, "What she says doesn’t count!"

"I am the patient. Before my direct family arrives, I have the right to decide whether to get discharged!" Christine insisted.

"Christine!!"

The nurse, sensing the tension, quietly said, "If you’d like to be discharged, please complete the discharge procedures now, because later it will be necessary to stay hospitalized."

After finishing, the nurse quickly left.

"Jonathon, can you fetch my phone? I want to call my daughter."

Jonathon took Christine’s phone from the bag and handed it to her.

Christine realized the phone was dead when trying to make a call. "Damn it, the phone is out of juice. Marie must be worried sick..." She thought it had just gotten dark, but she had actually been undergoing tests for several hours.

Christine turned to get out of bed.

"Are you sure you want to be discharged?"

"I’m fine now. Of course, I want to be discharged."

Jonathon angrily supported Christine’s frail shoulders, "Can you please listen to me and stay in the hospital obediently?"

Christine widened her eyes, looking at Jonathon, "Are you sure you want me to spend the rest of my time in the hospital?"

Sadness surged in Jonathon’s throat, and he could no longer speak.

Christine’s pale face barely managed a smile, "Help me with the discharge procedures, please..."

"I want to ask, does Skyler Jones know about this?"

Christine took a deep breath and shook her head.

Jonathon shouted, "He’s your husband, yet he doesn’t even know you’re this sick?"

For a moment, there was a flash of hurt in Christine’s eyes, but it passed quickly. She said, "He and I are just slightly better than strangers. It’s normal he doesn’t know about my condition."

"But he’s your husband!!"

"Stop it... Can I borrow your phone to call Marie and let her know I’m okay?"

Jonathon took out his phone.

Christine took the phone and quickly dialed the number. "Don’t cry, don’t cry... Silly girl... Mommy is a grown-up, how could I go missing? Silly girl... Mommy is fine... Be good... Mommy will be home soon..."

After reassuring Marie, Christine finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At Christine’s persistent urging, Jonathon helped discharge her from the hospital.

This time, Christine had no choice but to accept Jonathon’s offer to take her home.

In the car, Jonathon’s suit jacket was draped over Christine, and the warmth brought some color back to her face.

"Jonathon."

"What’s wrong?"

Jonathon nervously held her.

Christine smiled faintly, "Don’t be nervous, I was asking if you’re going back to T City tomorrow morning? You should go home and rest early."

"Do you think I would still go to T City?"

"Why not?"

"I told you, no matter what, I will cure you."

"You have your job..."

"Without you, what is there to work for!!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Jonathon’s sudden roar startled the taxi driver.

Christine was also stunned for a second.

"I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have spoken to you like that... My emotions tonight... I’m sorry." Jonathon clenched his fists and turned to look out the window.

Christine also fell silent.

After adjusting his emotions, Jonathon turned back, "You gave the hospital a sum of money just now."

"I don’t want anyone to know about my condition," Christine said truthfully.

"Christine Quinn, I’m telling you, I don’t care what reason you have for not telling Skyler Jones about your condition, but I’m sure your situation becoming like this is inextricably linked to him... If your condition is truly incurable, I swear, I will never let Skyler Jones off the hook in this lifetime!"

Christine was about to comfort Jonathon when his phone suddenly rang.

Jonathon took out his phone, saw that the display read "Skyler Jones." As they were working on the TSOL project, they already had each other’s numbers.

Christine accidentally saw the number on Jonathon’s phone and gasped in shock.

Jonathon answered the call and placed it to his ear.

In the narrow space of the taxi, Christine could clearly hear their conversation.

"Let Christine Quinn take the call."

Skyler Jones’s indifferent, cold voice came from Jonathon’s phone.

Jonathon was about to erupt with anger, but Christine grabbed the phone from Jonathon’s hand and immediately put it to her ear, "I’m here." She couldn’t let Jonathon speak recklessly.

"Christine Quinn, is this how you act as a guardian?" Skyler’s cold voice reproached.

Christine calmly said, "I know I’m returning home late today, but I’ve already called Marie, and I’m on my way home." Skyler calling Jonathon’s phone for her to answer clearly meant he had investigated her whereabouts and knew she had been out with Jonathon today, so she didn’t need to explain to him.

"Your progress with old friends is really fast!!"

"What are you trying to say?"

Skyler angrily burst out, "Do you know your daughter was crying at home looking for you, while you were out with a man until late at night?!"

"Skyler Jones, please speak with more respect. It’s not yet ten o’clock, not late at night, and I was just out having dinner with my friend. Don’t make it sound like there’s something unspeakable between us."

Hearing Skyler’s cold sarcasm over the phone, Jonathon had already clenched his fists, wishing he could punch Skyler right then and there.
