"Luckily Oversky brought you back, otherwise, losing you as a daughter-in-law would be a regret I’ll feel all my life."

Christine Quinn shyly smiled, "If Oversky had really gone to look for other girls, he could definitely find someone better than me easily."

"He wouldn’t, because his view on love is the same as Howie’s; once in love, it’s for all their life... this might be due to the influence of my divorce from Stephen Geoffrey."

"What a pity I don’t have a good body."

"That’s not important, what matters is that you love each other and can overcome any obstacles together."

Hearing what Mrs. Geoffrey said, Christine Quinn slightly frowned and couldn’t help but ask, "Mom, is there something you want to say to me?"

Christine felt that Mrs. Geoffrey’s words at this moment were just setting the stage for what was to come.

As expected, Mrs. Geoffrey let out a heavy sigh and suddenly said, "After thinking it over, I still feel it’s necessary to tell you about this... because, even if I don’t tell you, Charles Douglas won’t let it rest."

"What is it?"

Mrs. Geoffrey looked at Christine Quinn with a slightly serious gaze and slowly said, "Yesterday Charles Douglas called me and said that our Geoffrey family should take responsibility for their daughter..."

"What does Charles Douglas mean by this?" Christine asked in confusion.

Mrs. Geoffrey frowned, "He said that Jennifer Douglas had an abortion for Oversky two months ago, and he wants Oversky to take responsibility."

Christine’s eyes widened in disbelief.

"Christine..." Seeing Christine’s face turn pale instantly, Mrs. Geoffrey grasped Christine’s hand in panic, "Listen to me first..."

Christine gazed blankly at Mrs. Geoffrey, her lips slightly trembling, "Mom, are you saying Jennifer had Oversky’s child?"

"Christine, don’t get nervous yet, listen to Mom finish, things are not like you think."

Christine’s eyes seemed to lose their light instantly, falling into a stupor.

Mrs. Geoffrey hurried to explain, "Oversky would never do anything to wrong you, you have to trust him..."

Christine dazedly shook her head, pain evident in her eyes.

"Oh dear, it’s all my fault for having a loose tongue, I should have never told you..." Mrs. Geoffrey berated herself, hitting her mouth.

Christine quickly reached out to stop her, "Mom, don’t do that..."

"I’m a useless mother, never done a single good thing..."

"Mom, don’t say that..." Christine’s voice was mournful, still clearly immersed in the recent pain.

Mrs. Geoffrey hurriedly grabbed Christine’s hand again, tenderly saying, "Christine, with what’s happening, Mom should have talked to Oversky about this, but I chose to tell you because there’s more behind this... Mom can’t discuss this with Oversky, but I’m afraid Charles Douglas will come to you in the future, so Mom decided to inform you first."

Christine’s eyes had already dimmed, and her voice seemed to lose its strength as she weakly asked, "What more is there?"

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Charles Douglas came to me that day, he said he had taken Jennifer to Y City to find Oversky once..."

Christine nodded, "Yes, they had come."

"Charles said that day he actually intended to tell Oversky that Jennifer had an abortion for him and that he should take responsibility... but when Jennifer saw you and Oversky together, she chose to step back and firmly demanded Charles not to ruin the happiness between you and Oversky. Yet, Charles truly couldn’t accept Jennifer enduring such injustice, so he told me about this..."

"If Charles wants Oversky to take responsibility, why not go directly to Jennifer?"

"Because Jennifer forbade Charles from mentioning this, she even threatened her father with her life to do so."

"Who can be sure this isn’t a show put on by Jennifer and Charles together?"

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, "Of course we can’t fully believe Charles’s words, but about the child..." Mrs. Geoffrey’s expression grew serious, "Charles showed me Jennifer’s medical records of the abortion, with the doctor’s certification confirming that Jennifer indeed had an abortion two months ago..."

"Doctor’s certification can also be forged."

"I know, but many nurses in that doctor’s office had seen Jennifer hospitalized there, and most importantly, Jennifer was crying very sadly at the hospital... so I think it’s not faked." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Christine’s tone was slightly agitated, "No, I don’t believe Oversky had any relationship with her... I had personally asked Oversky, and he said he never touched Jennifer."
