Chapter 975: Chapter 502: Extra: Letting Go, Smiling, Hoping for a Warm Spring 1

"Do you really think you’re not happy with Christine?"

"I don’t feel unhappy... but many times, I ask myself, am I with her for family ties or love?"

"You shouldn’t doubt your love for Christine."

"I fear I can’t do it, you know?" Skyler Jones squinted his eyes, staring straight at Howard Geoffrey, "Many times, I can’t tell if I’m truly happy or just acting... I’m afraid one day I’ll be exposed, and I’ll hurt her, and it will make me feel even worse."

"Brother, your love for Christine is definitely not just about family ties..."

"I don’t know, I really don’t know..." Skyler Jones wanted to roar in his turmoil, "The Christine now is no longer the Christine Quinn I was once infatuated with..."

"If you’re blaming Christine for not trusting you and leaving home alone, I think you should understand her, she..."

Skyler Jones interrupted Howard Geoffrey, "It’s not just about this, there are many things from the past... So many things make me feel that continuing with her will only get more exhausting."

Rebecca Quentin stood outside the door, clearly hearing the conversation between Skyler Jones and Howard Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey came over and asked softly, "How is it? What did Oversky say to Howard?"

Rebecca Quentin was in a daze, and it was only hearing Mrs. Geoffrey’s question that she snapped back, saying, "Brother-in-law said he doesn’t know if he still loves my sister."

"What?" Mrs. Geoffrey widened her eyes in shock.

"She said my sister has already brought up divorce with him... They’re considering it now."

Perhaps it was fate.

On the fourth day after Skyler Jones left, Christine Quinn’s body bled...

The doctor told her the child couldn’t be saved.

The doctor performed a dilation and curettage procedure and suggested she stay in the hospital for a few more days.

She chose not to stay in the hospital and left like a walking corpse.

After leaving the hospital, she didn’t shed a single tear, yet she didn’t know how she got back to the hotel.

At this moment, she sat dazedly against the headboard, beside her was a cup of already cold boiled water.

She kept reminding herself not to cry, being thirty years old, how could her tear glands still be so active... But the tears still uncontrollably slipped out of her eyes.

She finally buried her head in her knees, crying out in pain.

Skyler Jones received a call from his subordinate while he was on the road to send Marie to school.

Marie still asked like she had for the past few days when her mommy would return...

Since he returned from France, he still couldn’t give Marie an answer.

When he got the call, he was relieved that someone saved him from the question, otherwise he really didn’t know how to answer his daughter, but he never expected the call to be such unfortunate news.

Yes, it was unfortunate news...

When he heard it, he swerved the wheel, almost hitting a pedestrian.

Marie was startled, repeatedly asking what had happened...

He dared not tell his daughter, instructed his subordinate over the phone to fly immediately to France, and sent his daughter home at the fastest speed...

After more than ten hours of flight, Skyler Jones arrived in Lyon, France.

Christine Quinn was already in the ICU, with various tubes connected to her body, her face pale without a trace of color.

Skyler Jones scolded the subordinate he sent to take care of Christine Quinn, but in reality, it was not the subordinate’s fault... He was responsible for looking after Christine Quinn, but how could he prevent her miscarriage?

The doctor, knowing the patient’s husband had arrived, said to Skyler Jones the first thing, "How have you been taking care of your wife?"

For the first time, Skyler Jones willingly accepted the scolding, and was rendered speechless.

The doctor reprimanded, "Didn’t you know your wife has a history of two heart surgeries, being pregnant and able to keep the baby is not easy, yet you left her alone in France? Do you know how extremely dangerous it is for a pregnant woman with a history of heart disease to be without care?"

Skyler Jones’s voice was already hoarse, his eyes red, "Doctor, can I go in and see her?"

"Now you realize to cherish her? Did you know she almost died?"

Hearing the word "died"... Skyler Jones’s body shuddered heavily, he found it hard to believe, that kind of heart-wrenching pain spread over him.

The doctor said, "You can’t go see her now... She’s still in the critical 24-hour period, you better pray for her life!"

Regardless of Skyler Jones’s status, after reprimanding him, the doctor removed his mask, sighed, and left the corridor.
