In the end, Julia didn’t forcefully kick me out of the hospital with any tricks. However, she forbade me to see Christopher in the ward. I had no intention of going in too. Anyway, he couldn’t possibly stay in there forever. I would just wait for him outside.
“Eve, I thought that I could finally attend your wedding. I guess the course of true love never did run smooth.” Sabrina took me to one side while saying that with a sigh. She seemed to be more troubled than I was.
“Well, as you said. The course of true love never did run smooth.” I smiled bitterly. Meanwhile, Zachary was at Sabrina’s side all the time as if he was her guardian angel. The moment I got closer to Sabrina, he became extremely nervous. I asked in confusion, “What’s with that look? It’s not like I will get into a fight with you.”
“It’s not like that. He is just worried about me because he has just become a father recently.” Sabrina smiled softly, patting gently on her belly.
I stared at her stomach for a second before coming to a realization. Immediately, I looked at her in surprise. “You have a baby?”
“Yes!” Sabrina nodded and whispered, “I wasn’t feeling well after we got back from our honeymoon. So, Zach brought me to the hospital for a checkup. It just so happened that Monica was causing a scene at the hospital. If it weren’t for her, I would be on a plane to Baykeep by now.”
“Congratulations! It seems like I’m going to be a godmother soon. You have to be more careful now. Try not to go to crowded places.” I had never given birth to a child before. But I had heard those matters that one should be paying attention to during pregnancy from some of my relatives. Therefore, I nagged Sabrina about it.
As Sabrina listened, her brows drew together. “Oh my god. Eve! Stop it! If you keep on saying, Zach will definitely force me to lie in bed every day and do nothing. He has already been so nervous to see me standing here right now as if I will be attacked by enemies anytime.”
Indeed, Zachary was all tensed up. He looked like he was on the battlefield and I found him hilarious. If Christopher wasn’t in Monica’s ward, I would definitely burst out laughing.
“I think you’d better go home now. It’s far from being peaceful here. What if some journalists come in and jostle each other? It’s so dangerous.” I tried to advise Sabrina but she was too worried about me that she was reluctant to leave.
“You don’t have to worry about me. In fact, you should have faith in your idol. He is a reliable person.” With that, Sabrina left after hearing my words.
After a while, I felt a little hungry. I then realized that I didn’t eat anything at the art exhibition. My stomach was growling now. I guessed Christopher must be hungry too. We only had a light breakfast this morning.
Thus, I walked over to the door. Initially, I wanted to go back and cook something for Christopher. However, Mitchell’s bodyguards stopped me before I could knock on the door to ask what he would like to eat. Apparently, they would never allow me to enter Monica’s ward.
I pursed my lips as I was about to speak. But when I heard their conversation from the room. All the words I wanted to say were stuck in my throat.
“Chris, didn’t you say you liked me before? There’s just not that big a difference between liking and loving. Then, why can’t we just walk through the rest of our lives together?” Monica looked at Christopher as she asked slowly.
“There’s a huge difference between liking and loving. Monica, you shouldn’t have done that. You shouldn’t have pushed me too hard. If you keep forcing me into a corner, you’ll just drive me away. The truth is, the distance keeps growing between us,” replied Christopher casually as he leaned back on the chair.
“I was just trying to get my lover back in my own way. What’s wrong with that? Chris, you and Spencer used to pursue me in the past. That means you have actually fallen for me even if it was just for a moment. Why did you choose to give up?”
Monica struggled to raise her arms. It was such a deep cut that hurt her so badly. However, she had no regrets. As long as she could make Christopher by her side, she didn’t care if she cut her arms and bleeding.
“As you have said, it was in the past. Perhaps, I used to like you before. But you rejected me at that time and chose to be with Spencer, didn’t you? Do you need my help to refresh your memory?” Christopher turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the window. It wasn’t some happy memory, so he couldn’t even be bothered to think about it.
