Chapter 703: Chapter 365: Extra: Memories Are Always Beautiful_2

Whenever she heard the name "Becca" from his mouth, her heart would tremble.

"Yes, tell her... let her go to the hospital for another check-up. Her body should be fine; Chester Robinson’s surgery on her was successful."

"What?" Christine Quinn widened her eyes in shock, "Are you serious?"

Skyler Jones gazed into the distance, sipping red wine, "I approached Chester’s mentor, hoping he could perform surgery on Becca, but he said Chester had already operated on her."

"But Chester didn’t actually perform surgery on Becca..."

"However, he is a doctor."

"I know, he’s a doctor without professional ethics."

Skyler Jones cast a cold glance at Christine Quinn, "In his career, Chester has never violated medical ethics... and he didn’t with Becca either."

Christine Quinn felt a sense of joy for Becca but was still a bit incredulous, "Are you sure?"

"I’m sure... I asked Alice Robinson. At that time, when Becca’s child was harmed, Chester didn’t know. Later, when Becca was taken to the hospital, Chester even tried his best to save her... Afterward, Chester blamed Alice for it, but Alice threatened to expose Chester’s identity at that time."

"Why don’t you call Becca yourself?"

Skyler Jones put down his glass and stood up, "I am not suitable to contact her."

"You’re not suitable because Howard Geoffrey doesn’t allow it, and Howard doesn’t allow it because you have hidden feelings; you’re still coveting your brother’s wife!"

Skyler Jones quickly turned his head, his gentle eyes turning sharp as he coldly stared at Christine Quinn, "Why do you think my personal affairs are any of your business? Oh... I forgot, you still love me, don’t you? Are you trying to probe whether I’ve given up on Becca to assess the possibilities between us?"

Christine Quinn’s body trembled slightly.

Skyler Jones’ words were sharp as blades, catching Christine Quinn off guard.

Christine Quinn suddenly felt she could no longer pretend, no matter how strong she seemed; as soon as Skyler Jones engaged in a confrontation, she would end up battered and bruised.

At that moment, she recalled the morning they were first together—

The warm morning sunlight shone into the hotel room, the breeze caressed the light blue curtains, and the white flowers on the windowsill occasionally fell on the headboard...

Her back pressed against his bare chest, hugged from behind by his strong arms.

She was blushing so much, she didn’t dare to turn her head and look at him.

He kissed her cheek and softly apologized, "I’m sorry... I was too impulsive last night..."

Her body trembled slightly, and she curled up.

He propped himself up and turned her body over.

"Why are you crying?" Seeing the tears in the corners of her eyes, he said with distress, "Silly... every woman has such a day..."

She continued to sob, her tears blurring her vision so she couldn’t clearly see him.

He gently wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, brushing away the tears in her eyes. Once she could see him clearly, he softly said, "Don’t you like being with me?"

She bit her lip lightly, not daring to answer.

He gently pushed away a strand of hair from her cheek, giving her an extreme sense of cherishment, "Do you hate me?"

She shook her head.

"Then tell me, what are you afraid of?"

Her tears started flowing again.

He panicked, hurriedly wiping away her continuously falling tears, flustered, "Damn it, don’t cry, tell me what you’re thinking..."

She finally, through her choked sobs, painfully said, "I don’t want to be just one of the many women you have."

"Fool, I don’t see you as one of them..."

"Then what do you see me as?"

"A friend."

She lowered her eyes with disappointment.

He chuckled lightly, lifted her chin, and added, "I mean – a girlfriend."

She suddenly lifted her eyes, her tear-blurred vision filled with disbelief.

He patiently wiped away the tears at her eyes’ corners, gently saying, "From now on, I will treat you well. As long as you are willing, we can always be together."

"But I wanted to save my first time for your future partner..."

"Then may I, with your consent, apply to be your future partner?"

His sincere and earnest tone made her burst into laughter through her tears.

He gently cupped her flawless face, gazing at her with deep affection, then leaned down to softly kiss her lips...

She started feeling shy...

Gradually, her hands climbed up to his neck, timidly tangling her tongue with his...

In the haze, she heard him say, "I will take care of you all my life."

The memory ended, bringing her back to reality.

Christine Quinn looked at the handsome and disdainful face before her, her hands involuntarily clutching her thighs.

She thought the defenses she had built over the years would keep her from showing any emotion before him...

Yet at this moment, she realized she hadn’t achieved that.

Tears were forming in her eyes, but she turned her face away in the next second, not letting him see her embarrassment.

She knew that if he saw it, he would only mock her, scorn her.

She had vowed never to show weakness before him, even if she were weak elsewhere... never in front of him.

But now, she found herself powerless to fight back against him... she had no strength at all.

"I’ll convey your message to Becca, you can leave now."

"Let’s have lunch together, Marie wants to see us."

Christine Quinn’s throat tightened, but she didn’t respond.

Skyler Jones had already left coldly.

As the sound of the door closing echoed, Christine Quinn wrapped her arms around her chest, slowly squatting down.

Tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes, and though she kept wiping them away, they kept flowing...

The full-length mirror in the hall reflected her weak and embarrassed self. She pouted, looking at her aggrieved reflection in the mirror, asking herself in her heart...

What did she do wrong, why did he hate her so much?

She wasn’t as pure and noble as Becca, because her childhood environment had destined her to have a dark corner in her life, she had no choice...

He didn’t like her, she didn’t care, because after that incident, she knew there could never be an ending for them...
