An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 164

Christopher smirked coldly. “You can write a larger number if you wish. Also, you may include any medical expenses you’d like me to compensate after this.”

Before the men could make sense of his words, the bodyguards dragged them away. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Noah then placed the coat on Christopher’s shoulders and said, “Mr. Lewis, I’ve called someone to tow your damaged car to a workshop for repair. I’ve driven another one here for you.”

Christopher nodded. “I may have ran quite a few red lights. Deal with it at once.”

Noah glanced at the emergency room before asking, “Then, will you be all right staying here alone?”

Christopher waved to motion that he was fine. Thus, Noah turned around and quickly left to handle his newly-assigned task.

At that moment, a sigh came from Jodie. “I used to think you were too harsh on Meg. However, it seems like you still have some conscience. You cut the journey short by thirty minutes after learning she was in an accident. Then, you not only crashed your car but also ran several red lights to get here quickly. I don’t like how you handle things, but at least I know you care enough about Meg. The child Meg lost was yours. Ever since Jenson returned, Meg kept her distance from him and told him that she’s now a married woman. Meg has been nothing but loyal to you. Also, has Meg’s car accident gotten resolved? It was her half-sister, Megan, who caused her miscarriage. Is that bitch in jail yet? You’re Meg’s husband, so you can’t let Megan off

easy.”

A frown crept up Christopher’s face, but he did not say anything.

Jodie wisely kept her mouth shut upon seeing that. Little did she know that the Jenkins family’s driver had taken the blame, and Christopher had helped the Jenkins family instead of investigating Megan’s crimes. If Jodie had known, she would have undoubtedly beat Christopher to death.

More than two hours passed before the operation ended. The doctor exited the emergency room and said, “Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis’ condition is now stable. We will transfer her to a general ward. However, she needs to remain hospitalized for observation during the next few days. There are some precautions she will need to know. Please follow me to my office. I will explain it to you in detail.”

Jodie hurriedly urged, “Go on with the doctor. I’ll take care of Meg.”

At that, Christopher nodded before heading to the doctor’s office.

Once there, the doctor explained, “You should know that Mrs. Lewis’ physical , condition is relatively weak. Hence, she will need adequate rest after getting discharged. She can’t get overly exhausted, especially since she almost lost her life this time. Although we managed to keep her uterus intact, her chances of getting pregnant are low. She lost her first child and got into an accident, so getting pregnant again will not be easy. Also, she can’t engage in intimate activities for the next two months. Since you’re her husband, please pay more attention to her feelings, Mr. Lewis.”

That was the first time Christopher had paid so much attention to someone’s words. He nodded solemnly and asked, “Is there anything else I need to know?”

The doctor thought for a moment. “That’s all for now. Although, Mrs. Lewis needs a caregiver. Please make the necessary arrangements.”

When Christopher returned to the general ward, Jodie instantly volunteered to stay and take care of Margaret. However, Christopher pondered momentarily before declining, “No need. I’ll stay tonight.”

Jodie did not object as she had enough on her plate anyway; She needed to look after her mother, work during the day, and do part-time jobs at night. She was desperately short of time. After staying in the ward for a while, she bid goodbye and left.

Margaret woke up the next day. She felt someone standing beside the bed before she even opened her eyes. Fortunately, Margaret recalled that she had gotten hospitalized the night before. She assumed that Elizabeth was standing next to her and asked, “Elizabeth, please help me call the company to ask for a leave. I doubt I can go to work for a while.”

When there was no response, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Christopher’s slightly haggard face. Her heart skipped a few beats when she saw his pajamas and messy hair,

She did not know what had happened during the surgery. It was a shock to see Christopher, who usually paid attention to his image, appear at the hospital in such a disheveled state.
