Chapter 978: Chapter 503: Extra: Letting Go, Smiling, and Hoping for a Warm Spring 2_2

Facing Marie’s words, Christine Quinn furrowed her brows even deeper.

Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but ask, "Sis, are you really going to forgive your brother-in-law for treating you like this?"

Christine Quinn shook her head, "You’ve all misunderstood..."

Rebecca Quentin frowned, not understanding.

Christine Quinn looked up and said to Mrs. Geoffrey, "Mom, could you please call Oversky for me... I want to talk to him."

Hearing Christine Quinn say she wanted to see Skyler Jones, Rebecca Quentin reacted greatly, putting down the apple in her hand and saying with frustration, "Sis, your brother-in-law left you alone in France, and it caused such a big issue; you’re still speaking for him now?"

"Becca, things aren’t as you think... I’ll explain everything to you all later."

"When brother-in-law returned to New York, he already told Howard... He said he didn’t know how to move forward with you, and he said he was very tired. If he was really so tired, why did he bother you in the first place? And... the doctor told me you fainted because of weakness from a miscarriage. Brother-in-law clearly knew you didn’t terminate the pregnancy but still said those harsh words to you. Sis... I won’t allow you to forgive him!!"

Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s red eyes, Christine Quinn felt a pang in her heart and held Rebecca Quentin’s hand, "Becca, things aren’t as you think... I said I’ll explain it to you later..."

Rebecca Quentin pursed her lips, "I just don’t want to see you getting hurt... Brother-in-law doesn’t value you at all." By the end of her words, Rebecca Quentin was already shedding silent tears, feeling deep compassion for Christine Quinn.

Mrs. Geoffrey also wiped her tears, "Christine, I’ll go ask Oversky to come over..."

Christine Quinn nodded.

Under Christine Quinn’s persuasion, Rebecca Quentin and Marie also left the hospital room.

About ten minutes later, Skyler Jones walked in from outside.

This was the first time since Christine Quinn woke up that Skyler Jones stepped into the hospital room.

Christine Quinn gave a gentle smile to Skyler Jones but noticed the weariness on his face.

No longer the usual confident and spirited self, at this moment, he was burdened with guilt and remorse.

An unshaven face appeared with faint stubble, a stark contrast to his usual meticulous and handsome self.

"Come here and sit." Christine Quinn said to Skyler Jones.

Skyler Jones gently nodded his head and sat down next to Christine Quinn’s bed.

Christine Quinn spoke first, "I’m sorry for letting my family misunderstand you. I’ll clarify everything to them later... Are you okay?"

Skyler Jones didn’t expect that the first words Christine Quinn would say after waking up would be to comfort him. He looked up at her, his heart aching.

"We already talked about it last time. Actually, I’m fine... I really didn’t know my condition was so bad. I thought it was just a bit of discomfort and that after resting for two days, I would be fine. I never expected that the child would..."

"Don’t say it, Christine. It’s all my fault..." Skyler Jones’s voice was hoarse and dry, as if it was the first time he had spoken after days of silence.

Christine Quinn shook her head, "This has nothing to do with you... It was my own negligence in taking care of myself that led to the incident at the hotel. Fortunately, you had people to send me to the hospital in time..."

Skyler Jones looked deeply at Christine Quinn’s forgiving and magnanimous expression, feeling his heart being tightly squeezed.

Christine Quinn said, "These past few days while I was unconscious, I kept thinking that the reason we’ve been so exhausted in our relationship is that we’ve been avoiding problems... You realized a long time ago that you couldn’t find the feelings of the past with the current me, and I was also aware of your changes, but both of us chose to avoid it... You avoided it because you felt responsible for me, and I avoided it because I was afraid of losing this relationship..."

Facing Christine Quinn’s calm demeanor, Skyler Jones’s heart ached even more.

He was silent, not knowing what to say, as guilt and remorse overwhelmed his emotions.

Christine Quinn took Skyler Jones’s hand calmly, "Oversky, I’m really fine... We should have talked about this a long time ago, we shouldn’t force things like this. You shouldn’t blame yourself or feel guilty, there were many times I was unreasonable, and many times I was willful. The state of our relationship today isn’t solely your responsibility, I have a part in it too."

Skyler Jones spoke in a low tone, "I never thought it was your fault."

Christine Quinn smiled, "That’s generous of you, I know I have my faults too... Neither of us wanted this accident to happen, but perhaps it’s fate..." Saying this, Christine Quinn lowered her head and smiled, "Maybe we weren’t meant to have this child..."

"Christine, we..."

Christine Quinn cupped Skyler Jones’s hand, cutting off his words, "After going through all this, I’ve suddenly come to terms with it... Those past days, I was really very tired, always being cautious, always afraid of losing this relationship. Sometimes, I felt like I wasn’t myself anymore, but now I can finally face it calmly, I can finally let go, and I feel good about it now..."

Skyler Jones shook his head, his throat seemed to be choked with something, making it hard to speak.

Christine Quinn gently patted Skyler Jones’s hand, "Don’t blame yourself, don’t feel guilty... The family doesn’t understand you because they don’t know about our relationship, but I’ll convince them."

"Christine..."

Skyler Jones wanted to say something, but Christine Quinn had already interrupted him.

"The smell in the hospital room is really unpleasant..." Christine Quinn stretched and smiled at Skyler Jones, "Can you arrange for my discharge? I don’t want to stay here, it’s so stuffy..."

Skyler Jones nodded, "I just asked the doctor, and the doctor said your condition is pretty good... You can be discharged but need to do a heart rate test."

"The heart rate test can be done at the hotel," Christine Quinn said.

"Hmm."

Christine Quinn gave Skyler Jones a gentle push, "Hurry and arrange my discharge, I’ve been lying here for two days, and I feel like my bones are falling apart..."

"Okay." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

As soon as Skyler Jones came out of the hospital room, Mrs. Geoffrey and Rebecca Quentin rushed up.

"How was it? What did you talk about with Sis?" Seeing Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones smiling through the glass window while they talked reassured Rebecca Quentin quite a bit.

"She said she wants to be discharged," Skyler Jones said.
