His body temperature was still so warm. She leaned on his shoulder, wanting to respond by hugging him tightly, but a sourness welled up in her nose, making her freeze and let him hold her.

Not getting a response from her, he nervously pulled them apart and saw the faint traces of tears in her eyes. His heart wrenched tightly, "Everything is my fault. It was my failure to cherish you that caused Jennifer Douglas’s issues to arise between us. I promise, I won’t let Charles Douglas or Jennifer Douglas hurt you again, I will completely resolve this matter."

Christine Quinn said nothing, just looked at Skyler Jones blankly.

Skyler Jones held Christine Quinn’s arm, "Let’s go down first, we can talk about everything slowly later."

Finally, Christine Quinn left the rooftop with Skyler Jones.

In the hospital corridor, Skyler Jones and Christine Quinn encountered Mrs. Geoffrey and the anxious Geoffrey couple.

Rebecca Quentin was the first to be supported by her husband and came to Christine Quinn’s side, concernedly asking, "Sister, you..."

"I’m fine, I just went to the rooftop for some fresh air."

Rebecca Quentin finally breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me just now, I thought you and your husband had a fight!"

Christine Quinn smiled faintly, saying nothing.

"Brother, I have something to talk to you about." Geoffrey, being good at reading people, had obviously noticed something was wrong between Skyler Jones and Christine Quinn.

"Christine..." Mrs. Geoffrey spoke in a concerned tone to Christine Quinn.

Christine Quinn smiled nonchalantly, "I’m fine, I’ll help Becca back to the ward."

Mrs. Geoffrey said no more, just sighed heavily.

After Christine Quinn helped Rebecca Quentin back to the ward, Geoffrey sternly asked Skyler Jones, "What happened between you and Christine?"

Skyler Jones didn’t answer Geoffrey, he turned wanting to walk into the ward.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Geoffrey blocked Skyler Jones’ way, asking, "Did you have a fight with Christine?"

"A fight?" The astonished voice came from Geoffrey. He walked to his mother’s side, frowning and asked, "What on earth happened?"

Mrs. Geoffrey shook her head and sighed, "Isn’t it about Jennifer Douglas again..."

"Is Jennifer Douglas pestering you again?"

"Not really, it’s her father Charles Douglas who is pestering."

Mrs. Geoffrey’s words elicited a question from Skyler Jones, "Why did Charles Douglas repeatedly contact you, and why did you tell Christine Quinn about this first?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Because I was afraid this was a plot by Charles Douglas and his daughter to drive a wedge between you."

Skyler Jones’ gaze turned deep, "How so?"

"Charles Douglas called me and repeatedly demanded that you take responsibility for Jennifer Douglas’s happiness, saying that Jennifer Douglas once miscarried a child for you."

"That’s absolutely impossible, I never..." Skyler Jones’ words were choked back mid-sentence by his sudden realization.

"You still hesitate, it seems the matter really isn’t as simple as Charles Douglas trying to drive a wedge..."

"In any case, I have absolutely no relationship with Jennifer Douglas!!"

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, "I believe you, but if Charles Douglas comes to you with proof of Jennifer Douglas’s miscarriage in the hospital, how would you explain it?"

Skyler Jones shook his head in disbelief.

Standing aside, Geoffrey was also shocked by such facts.

"It’s precisely because I saw that real medical record that I dared not tell you about this. If you knew you had a real relationship with Jennifer Douglas while drunk, how would you face it, and how would you explain to Christine? And I told Christine directly about this to one, avoid you and Christine clashing head-on over Jennifer Douglas’s pregnancy, and two, try to guide the responsibility onto Charles Douglas and his daughter as a distraction, preventing the issue from suddenly coming up between you two one day and causing a misunderstanding with Christine."

"I can understand why mom did it, but doing so is inappropriate... If Jennifer Douglas really had my brother’s child, helping my brother shift the blame onto Charles Douglas and his daughter is not only deceiving Christine, but also unfair to Jennifer Douglas."

Mrs. Geoffrey said irritably, "I just can’t stand Jennifer Douglas, no matter whether we are fair to her or not, her ruining other people’s families is the worst act."

Geoffrey supported his mother, "Mom, you should let my brother handle this..."

"I admit my consideration was inappropriate, but the whole matter has nothing to do with Christine. Me slapping Jennifer Douglas was also my own emotion, it had nothing to do with Christine."

Skyler Jones swung his fist and harshly struck the cold wall. He could not blame anyone because he himself was the instigator of this whole situation.

Even though his mother misjudged, she did it from a mother’s perspective for their sake, and Christine also tried to resolve the matter without letting it cause a rift between them.

"Skyler, don’t misunderstand Christine, she doesn’t distrust you, it’s all mom’s fault if you want to blame someone, blame mom!"

Geoffrey said, "Mom, don’t interfere in this matter anymore, let my brother handle it himself!"

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, but said worriedly, "I’m only worried about Christine now..."

Geoffrey glanced harshly at Skyler Jones, "Christine’s joys and sorrows are all on one person, it’s just whether that person knows how to be considerate."

Skyler Jones’s stern face gradually relaxed, and as he was about to open the door to the ward, his phone suddenly rang.

Glancing at the number displayed on the phone screen, his brow slightly furrowed.

Geoffrey had already figured out from Skyler Jones’s expression who was calling, he said, "If you don’t want to be bothered by this matter between you and Christine again, you must see her and thoroughly resolve this issue."

Skyler Jones’s thoughts aligned with Geoffrey’s words at this moment, he raised his head and glanced at the ward, knowing that the person inside might still be mad at him at the moment. After thinking it over, he then turned and said to Mrs. Geoffrey, "Please go in and check on her, I will be back soon."

Mrs. Geoffrey nodded, "Okay, you go ahead!"

Skyler Jones then left the hospital.

In the hospital ward, from Christine Quinn’s mouth, Rebecca Quentin roughly learned about the ins and outs and scolded Skyler Jones, "Mr. Jones is really something, how could he think it was you who deliberately brought mom out to harm Jennifer Douglas? Doesn’t she understand your nature already? Everyone knows your personality, direct and straightforward. If you really wanted to harm Jennifer Douglas, you would choose to act directly rather than involve Mrs. Geoffrey."

Christine Quinn sat leaning against Rebecca Quentin, her eyes downcast in sadness, "I can’t entirely blame him, my tone was a bit harsh too."
