Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 459 - 242: Take Him Back

"Becca, Becca..."

Mrs. Geoffrey’s call brought Rebecca Quentin back from her trance.

Rebecca Quentin looked desolately at Mrs. Geoffrey.

Mrs. Geoffrey said, "Becca, now that I’m telling you this, I’m prepared to bear the consequences. Actually, when I first confessed, I was already prepared to spend the rest of life in prison atoning for this crime. I refused Howard’s help, but the court couldn’t convict me due to lack of evidence, and I was released... After returning, every time I saw Andrew, I found it hard to face him. I can’t imagine him growing up in an incomplete family at such a young age. I’m afraid of seeing a second Howard, so I really hope you can return to Andrew, and leave the past behind with Howard, to start anew... I know my presence would make you unwilling to be with Howard, but if you are willing, I can confess again, and this time, if your nanny Aunt Clare accuses me of hearing your father take my calls, my guilt can be confirmed..."

Rebecca Quentin watched as Mrs. Geoffrey’s eyes gradually dulled...

What Mrs. Geoffrey meant in her simple words was that she could confess in exchange for Rebecca’s forgiveness, as long as she was willing to return to Howard and Andrew...

Mrs. Geoffrey’s sincere tone and longing gaze were all saying that deep down, she had become such a somber person...

Or it could be said that in Howard’s heart too, she was also such a somber person.

Yes, she could be "heartless" enough to not want a child because of her father’s death, what other "heartlessness" would she hesitate over?

"Becca, while Howard is away from New York and T City these days, let’s settle this matter!"

Rebecca Quentin turned her face aside, and at this moment, unspeakable tears of grievance welled up in her eyes...

She knew that in people’s minds, she was no longer the Rebecca Quentin from before...

In this second, Rebecca Quentin covered her mouth and turned to run out of the teahouse.

Rebecca Quentin ran all the way into the company’s elevator, and in the company elevator, she finally squatted down and cried aloud.

She never thought about not wanting the child; she really never thought about it...

She regretted picking up the medicine from the hospital, and she never intended to take that medicine...

After they broke up, she left his villa and returned alone to the suite she rented in T City, afraid that the child would be affected by her emotions. She constantly took prenatal pills, and she didn’t dare go anywhere, lying in bed each day carefully caring for the child in her belly. But for some reason, that day her body suddenly had heavy bleeding, and piercing pains in her lower abdomen...

She endured the pains in bed to call Doctor Henley, and later was sent to the hospital...

Doctor Henley and Doctor Robinson were both there...

They both did their utmost to save her child, but...

The child was ultimately not saved, and to this day, she still couldn’t bear this reality.

She knew he felt the same pain; that day, when she was lying in the hospital bed calling him, she could feel his heartache and disappointment through the phone...

But by the time she wanted to tell him about it, he had already hung up the phone.

He didn’t actually know that day she still wanted to tell him about the complications of the induced labor from the stillbirth at five months, which resulted in serious damage to her already thin uterine wall, and the doctor said she might never be able to have children again...

For the past half year, Chester Robinson had been trying to help her...

She never thought about giving up, visiting the hospital for exams almost three to four days every month, but until today, there was still no progress...

She hadn’t explained to him about the child for the primary reason that she didn’t want him to know this version of her now.

The day after meeting Mrs. Geoffrey, Rebecca Quentin fell ill.

People are like this; when the mind is fragile, the body is vulnerable too...

Manager Smith found out she was sick and kindly gave her two days off, telling her to rest well at home.

On the first sick day on the bed, Mrs. Geoffrey called her. She knew what Mrs. Geoffrey wanted to say, so she never answered, and the next day, the calls from Mrs. Geoffrey didn’t continue.

In the afternoon of the next day, Chester Robinson came over...

Chester Robinson perhaps saw she hadn’t gone out for two days, so he came to check on her, unexpectedly seeing her in a frail state from illness.

"Take a seat anywhere."

Holding her forehead as she opened the door, Rebecca Quentin weakly said to Chester Robinson.

Seeing Rebecca Quentin with a sickly, flushed face, Chester Robinson quickly supported her precariously staggering body, his hand naturally touching her forehead, "Heavens, why is your forehead so hot?"

"I’m fine..." Rebecca Quentin removed Chester Robinson’s hand wanting to walk into the room, but unfortunately her weak body became unsteady after a few steps.

Seeing the situation, Chester Robinson hurriedly rushed forward, embracing Rebecca Quentin’s nearly toppling frail body, anxiously asking, "With such a fever, have you taken medicine?"

Rebecca Quentin shook her head, "I want to sleep..."

At this moment, Chester Robinson picked up Rebecca Quentin waist.

Chester Robinson took Rebecca Quentin to the hospital as her consciousness began to drift, so he rushed her to the hospital as fast as he could.

Chester Robinson initially thought Rebecca Quentin’s fever would quickly subside, but unexpectedly, even through the night at the hospital, it persisted.

Thankfully, during the late hours, Rebecca Quentin’s body temperature finally started to drop, but a complete recovery would still take time...

Chester Robinson stayed beside the hospital bed, constantly monitoring her physical condition. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

In the latter half of the night, a nurse pushed open the door with an IV drip.

The nurse intended to replace Rebecca Quentin’s IV drip, but didn’t expect Chester Robinson would still be in the room, and blushed instantly, calling out, "Doctor Robinson."

Ever since Chester Robinson was transferred to this hospital, he had become the object of admiration for all the female staff, so these young nurses couldn’t help but blush whenever they saw him.

Chester Robinson made a shushing gesture to the young nurse.

The young nurse immediately nodded, tiptoeing over to the bedside to replace Rebecca Quentin’s IV drip.

Since Rebecca Quentin often visited the hospital, the young nurse knew Rebecca Quentin was a friend of Chester Robinson’s. Initially, everyone suspected the relationship between Rebecca Quentin and Chester Robinson, but later they heard from Doctor Henley that Rebecca Quentin had a husband, so they dismissed the idea of seeing Rebecca Quentin as a rival. However, today, seeing Chester Robinson nervously bring Rebecca Quentin to the hospital and stay by her side through the night, evoked some jealousy standing behind Chester Robinson, unable to resist saying, "Doctor Robinson, it’s so late already, aren’t you going to the rest room to rest?"

Chester Robinson sat by the bedside, his gaze fixed on Rebecca Quentin’s flushed face from the fever as she slept, softly responding, "I’ll wait for her fever to go down before I sleep."

"Doctor Robinson, you stayed up last night doing surgery for patients, and were busy with hospital affairs during the day. If you don’t sleep tonight, how will you have energy to work tomorrow?"
