Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 827 - 427: Extra: Cheating 2_2

"What did she say?"

Christine Quinn’s eyes fell gloomily, "She told me Howard Geoffrey received news; Skyler Jones had an accident while inspecting the site in L.A... It’s heard he’s already hospitalized, the situation isn’t good."

Jonathon Gibson frowned upon hearing this, murmuring, "So it really happened..."

Christine Quinn was startled, "You know too?"

Jonathon explained, "As the coordinator of the project, I’m naturally aware of the situation at the site, I only knew earlier that there was a minor accident at the site, didn’t expect it involved Mr. Jones... Clearly, this news was sealed off by Mr. Jones’s people."

Christine Quinn suddenly leaned heavily against the back of the chair, the whole person falling into a daze.

Jonathon called out, "Christine..."

Christine Quinn snapped back, staring blankly at Jonathon, mumbling, "No, this can’t be true..."

"Christine, are you sure you want to worry like this?"

"How can I not worry, I..." Just after saying this, Christine Quinn realized her tone was somewhat aggressive, she immediately softened her tone, lowering her head, "Sorry, I..."

"What exactly happened to Skyler Jones? What do you mean the situation is serious?"

Christine slowly raised her eyes, "Becca told me he might be facing the possibility of amputation."

Jonathon’s eyes widened, "What?"

"It’s true... Howard Geoffrey has been trying to reach him these past two days but unfortunately, he couldn’t get through."

Jonathon shook his head in disbelief.

Christine Quinn picked up her bag and got up abruptly.

Jonathon also stood up, urgently chasing after Christine’s departing figure, "Where are you going?"

Christine replied, "I need to find a way to contact him."

Jonathon frowned, "What way can you think of?"

Christine seemed lost and said, "I’ll call him, send emails, or... I’ll go to L.A to find him!!"

Upon hearing Christine’s words, Jonathon stood silently, deeply gazing at Christine.

Christine didn’t react for several seconds, standing still as well.

A trace of hurt flashed in Jonathon’s eyes.

Several seconds later, he gently held Christine, comforting her, "I believe Mr. Jones will be okay... Don’t worry for now, I have some friends at the hospital in L.A, I can ask them, maybe they’ll know something."

"Jonathon, I..."

Jonathon shook his head, reaching out to gently embrace Christine.

His face leaned against her hair, which emitted a faint fragrance, his tone slightly raspy, "Even if you care about him, don’t feel guilty towards me, I know it’s impossible to ask you to let him go all at once... but I can wait."

Christine leaned against Jonathon’s chest, closing her eyes in a painful manner. "Jonathon..."

Jonathon tightly embraced Christine, "Don’t rush, I will find out about Skyler Jones’s situation."

Christine slowly pulled away from Jonathon’s embrace, her eyes unknowingly covered with a mist, "You really shouldn’t be with me..."

"Whether I should or shouldn’t is up to me."

"I don’t want to hold you back, Jonathon, just let me be alone..."

Jonathon held Christine, gazing deeply at her, "I won’t let you go... I’ve finally re-encountered you, I definitely won’t retreat like I used to, Skyler Jones didn’t cherish you, so he lost you, and I’ll shower you with so much love that you’ll forget him, you’ll accept me... I know one day, the one residing in your heart will be me."

"Jonathon, maybe I can’t give you anything for now, but I assure you, I’ve never joked about feelings, I chose to accept you because I really want to develop something with you, if you don’t mind that I might not wake up tomorrow."

"I don’t mind..."

Embracing Christine, Jonathon deeply kissed her forehead.

To his surprise, Jonathon’s friend in L.A really found out about Skyler Jones’s situation...

It turns out he’s indeed hospitalized and has been in the hospital for more than a week.

"Are you really going to L.A?"

At this moment, Jonathon asked Christine over the phone.

"Yes, I must go see him."

"Taking Marie?"

"Yes, I’ve already requested a week off for Marie."

"Alright... when’s your flight?"

"Tonight."

"Okay, I’ll take you two to the airport."

"Thank you."

That evening, Christine and Marie sat in Jonathon’s car, the three of them heading to the airport.

In the car, Marie frowned slightly and asked Christine, "Mommy, we have a driver at home, why does Uncle Gibson have to take us to the airport?"

"Because Uncle Gibson is your mommy’s boyfriend, protecting you is Uncle Gibson’s responsibility." The one who spoke was Jonathon, his gentle smile was very amiable.

Marie actually liked Jonathon quite a bit, but since Jonathon was now seeing Christine, it made Marie, who hoped her parents would reunite, a little disappointed, she had no choice but to lower her head in silence at this moment.

Christine reprimanded her daughter, "Marie, you mustn’t be impolite, Uncle Gibson is talking to you."

Marie sulkily lowered her eyes, saying, "I know, Uncle Gibson, I’m sorry."

Jonathon said gently, "It’s alright."

Christine hugged Marie, looked up and smiled at Jonathon.

Through the rearview mirror, Jonathon returned the smile, indicating understanding.

Airport.

At the security checkpoint, Jonathon instructed Christine, "Call me when you arrive in L.A..."

Christine nodded.

Jonathon turned his head and kissed Christine’s cheek, "Be careful on the way."

Christine smiled slightly, "Hmm."

Watching Jonathon kiss Christine, Marie pouted, very disappointed that her mother ultimately did not choose to reunite with her father.

Jonathon waved goodbye to Marilyn Quinn, "Marie, goodbye."

Marie responded obediently, "Goodbye, Uncle Gibson."

Jonathon reluctantly turned away.

Christine silently watched Jonathon’s departure, suddenly, she called out, "Jonathon!"

Jonathon stopped and turned, "Hmm?"
