"Sis, I really don’t think you’re wrong in this matter... If you want to blame someone, blame Mr. Jones. If it weren’t for him getting involved with Jennifer Douglas, would all these things have happened? How can he blame you, doesn’t he see that he owes you in this matter?"

"He himself doesn’t even know whether he has anything to do with Jennifer Douglas or not..."

"How is that possible?" Rebecca Quentin was shocked.

Christine Quinn then recounted to Rebecca Quentin everything about the night Skyler Jones got drunk and was with Jennifer Douglas.

Rebecca Quentin suddenly understood, "Now I finally know why mom didn’t bring this up to Mr. Jones... Mr. Jones is sure that he has nothing to do with Jennifer Douglas, but the fact is that there might be something between Mr. Jones and Jennifer Douglas. And if mom doesn’t tell Mr. Jones about this, then the Douglas father and daughter can’t expect any sympathy from Mr. Jones..."

"Yes, that’s what mom thinks."

"That night was so confusing, except for Jennifer Douglas, no one knows the truth. Who knows if the Douglas father and daughter are just putting on a show? But speaking of which, if Jennifer Douglas really chooses to silently step back, then..."

"Do you also think Jennifer Douglas deserves sympathy?"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head immediately, "Of course not, I just think if Jennifer Douglas really loves Mr. Jones, then this matter is more troublesome..."

"How so?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Think about it, Jennifer Douglas has endured so much grievance without telling Mr. Jones, and now Mr. Jones saw mom slap Jennifer Douglas. To Mr. Jones, Jennifer Douglas has already earned some sympathy points, which is detrimental to your relationship..."

Christine Quinn pondered Rebecca Quentin’s words, her eyes slowly becoming vacant.

"Sis, are you okay?"

Christine Quinn’s eyes remained unfocused as she looked ahead, shaking her head, "I’m just thinking if choosing to be with Skyler Jones was the right decision?"

"Why would you think that?" Rebecca Quentin quickly hugged Christine Quinn, comforting her, "You silly girl, even if there’s an issue with Jennifer Douglas now, it’s not a big problem. As long as you and Mr. Jones love each other, it’s enough..."

Christine Quinn sniffled, the bitterness escaping with her words, "I don’t have much time left to live. Choosing to be with him is actually selfish of me..."

"Didn’t you promise me that you would tell Mr. Jones about your illness?"

Christine Quinn lifted her slightly teary eyes to look at Rebecca Quentin, "Sometimes I think it’s destiny’s arrangement... Thirteen years ago, that beautiful love, everything falling into place, he loved me, I loved him, no barriers, no distance, carefree days, but it was ruined by destiny’s arrangement. From that time, perhaps my and his fate was already sealed. Now, he and I have managed to come together again, but those past hurts still lie deep in our hearts, wounds that can never be erased. No matter how hard we try, we can’t go back. Even if those past things can really be overlooked, now I’m ill, and the matter with Jennifer Douglas has erupted. I don’t know if it’s destiny punishing my selfishness. I probably should never have chosen to be with him again. Maybe the person destiny arranged to be by his side was never me..."

"You aren’t planning to give Mr. Jones to Jennifer Douglas, are you?"

Christine Quinn shook her head firmly, "No, I won’t... at least in the little time I have left, I just want to fight for more time with him. Giving up would be unless he doesn’t love me."

Rebecca Quentin held Christine Quinn tightly, "Don’t talk nonsense, you’ll be fine... You and Mr. Jones will definitely have a good ending, living happily ever after."

Christine Quinn wiped away the tear stains at the corners of her eyes, smiled at Rebecca Quentin, "I’m okay now... I’m going to find him."

"Yes, Mr. Jones must be outside."

"I’ll wash my face first."

After Christine Quinn left the ward, she only saw Mrs. Geoffrey alone.

"Mom..."

"Christine..." Mrs. Geoffrey approached with concern, "Are you okay?"

Christine Quinn shook her head, "I’m fine. Where’s Oversky?"

"Well, he..."

Seeing Mrs. Geoffrey hesitate, Christine Quinn frowned slightly, "What’s wrong?"

After some hesitation, Mrs. Geoffrey blurted out, "Just now, Jennifer Douglas called Oversky. Oversky went to meet her to completely resolve this matter."

"Oh, where did they arrange to meet?"

"Do you want to go?"
