Chapter 135


    Before Margaret could say anything, Christopher strode toward Jenson and punched thetter. “Mr.


    Swanson, tsk! I wonder why you’ve invited my wife out of the office.”


    Blood seeped out from the corner of Jenson’s lips. The man clenched his fists but did not return the blow.


    “I admit that I’m at fault here, so I’ll ept this punch from you. However, there isn’t anything


    inappropriate going on between Meg and me, so don’t put her in a difficult spot.”


    Nevertheless, Christopher rolled up his sleeves and loosened his tie. It seemed like he was not going to


    stop there. “Mind your words. Who do you think you are, huh?”


    It was Margaret’s first time seeing Christopher behaving that way, so she was frightened out of her wits.


    Despite the pain, she clenched her teeth and shielded Jenson. “Christopher, it has nothing to do with


    him! Our car was right beside the road back then->


    Before she could finish her sentence, Christopher suddenlyughed. “Our’? Ha. Very well, Margaret.


    ‘Our’! Whose b*stard child did you lose today?”


    B*stard child?


    Margaret’s mind imploded. “It’s… It’s yours… The baby’s not a b*stard child…”


    Unable to hold himself back anymore, Jenson roared, “Christopher Lewis, do you have to be suspicious


    of that? Don’t you know well whose child it is?”


    Christopher then shoved Margaret away and grabbed Jenson’s cor. “Shut up!”


    Losing her bnce, Margaret fell to the foot of the bed. Instantly, a sharp pain spread from her abdomen


    to every corner of her body.


    Cold sweat drenched her in seconds, and she tried but failed to rise to her feet a few times, Noticing that,


    Noah muttered, “Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, she…”

    Christopher then turned to look at Margaret. Finally, he gnashed his teeth and let go of Jenson before


    ring at her. “You owe me an exnation!”


    Jenson’s first response was to help Margaret up, but Noah hasúily stopped him. “Mr. Swanson, please


    leave first. This is now the Lewis family’s personal matter. Please don’t intervene.”


    Tenson understood what Noah meant. He cast onest worried look at Margaret and hesitated before


    trudging toward the door.


    There were things he wanted to say, but he did not know if he should say them at that moment. One


    wrong word and a fight would break out. Margaret would be trapped between a rock and a hard ce in


    that case.


    After exiting the room, Noah closed the door behind him, leaving Margaret and Christopher alone in the


    room.


    A moment of silenceter, Christopher stated, “You’ve really let me down.”


    Margaret, who was sitting on the cold, hard floor, lowered her eyes and bit her lips. “Sorry. I never once


    made you feel happy since young.”


    “What’s with the child?” he asked, steering the topic back to the baby.


    “I haven’t thought of how I should tell you about it…Margaret managed to stop her tears, but she could


    not stop her body from shaking like a leaf.


    “Is it mine?” he hissed, staring at her the entire time.


    “Am I that easy of a person to you?” The smile was still on Margaret’s ashen face.


    Again, the ward fell silent. Looking at her miserable look made frustration spike in Christopher. All of a


    sudden, he shot forward to grab her and threw her on the bed. “Stop ying the pity card! If the child is


    mine, and if you wanted to leave that badly, you should’ve told me right away! Why did you hide this from


    me, huh? You never thought of keeping the child, did you? That means one thing—the child has nothing


    to do with the Lewis family!”


    His words bombarded her like a barrage of bullets, and she could barely breathe under the weight of


    them. The words died in her mind before slie could even form them in her mouth.


    In the end, Christopher kicked the door open and left. A while after, Elizabeth rushed to the hospital.


    “Meg, why did something like this happen?”


    Margaret did not answer her. She just leaned against the headboard and quietly cried.


    Elizabeth’s heart broke at the sight of that. She carefully wiped Margaret’s tears away and consoled,


    “Don’t cry, don’t cry. You can’t cry after what happened. It won’t be good for your health, Lie down now.


    You can have another child next time, so you can’t neglect your body like this now.”
