Chapter 187


    An Impossible Marriage


    Margaret felt guilty on Christopher‘s behalf. “All right. You should get going first. I just woke up, so I‘ll


    hang up now.”


    After hanging up the phone, Margarety on her bed for a while before finally getting up. She then


    headed toward the restroom to wash up.


    Lately, she had been lying in bed longer than usual, and her hair was so long it ended up getting tangled


    when she sleptst night. No matter how hard she tried, she could not untangle the knots. Just as she


    was about to cut the hair off, a slender hand stopped her. “Pass me theb.”


    Margaret was still in a daze, so she subconsciously passed theb. She had not even realized that


    someone had appeared behind her.


    The man behind her meticulouslybed her hair, and thus she felt no pain at all. The reflection in the


    mirror showed a rare instance of them getting along harmoniously. Margaret fell into a momentary trance


    and remembered how he hadbed her hair back when they were younger.


    She was embarrassed to admit that she never knew how tob her hair properly, even when she was


    eight. Previously, Nichs had always been the onebing her hair for her. As such, after the ne


    crash, her hair became a total mess. After being adopted into the Lewis family, Christopher hadbed


    it for her several times because he could not stand how messy her hair was. However, he always


    comined about it every time he did it.


    “Do you hate me?” Margaret asked.


    He answered without hesitation, “I do.”


    “Oh,” she then replied nonchntly,


    “I‘m donebing. You may go down for breakfast now.” Christopher put down theb, then went to


    brush his teeth without a single trace of emotion on his face.


    Margaret nced at him, and her gaze shifted to his hair. His hair texture was excellent, with ebony


    ck strands silky–smooth to the touch. It was just a pity that he always kept it short. Since she was


    young, she had always wanted to tie his hair into a tiny ponytail but never dared to do so, as she was


    afraid of him.


    “What are you looking at?” Christopher shot her a questioning look once he was


    done brushing his teeth.


    “Nothing.” Margaret turned around and acted as if nothing had happened. But deep down, she was


    slightly anxious that he would find out about her evil little thought.


    Meanwhile, at the dining table, Elizabeth served the oatmeal porridge that she had prepared earlier that


    morning. When Christopher noticed that Nina was not there, he asked, “Where‘s Nina?”


    “She isn‘t up yet. Is there ever a day where she doesn‘t sleep past noon?” Elizabeth responded casually.


    As Christopher thought about Nina‘s temperament, he chuckled and said, “Maybe she‘s still a little jet–


    lagged. Let‘s not mind her.”


    At noon, Jodie rang Margaret again. Thetter avoided Christopher and secretly picked up the call.


    “What‘s wrong, Jo?” she whispered.


    “I went to visit Jenson. He said that someone had intentionally knocked him over. The car had a fake


    license te and was a piece of junk. It seems like their cost of crime is rtively low. The driver had run


    away, and they couldn‘t catch him. Even if the Gadway family was behind this, we don‘t have any proof


    of it. Jenson can only me his luck for this. Oh right. Guess who else I ran into at the hospital?”

    “Who?”


    Jodie snorted. “I saw your mom and Megan. It must be nice to be rich. I can‘t believe that Megan is still


    going on with her life even after she caused your miscarriage. I thought that she would serve a few years


    in jail, at least! This is just revolting! She must have paid a huge sum to get out of it. How could


    Christopher even put up with


    such a thing?”


    Upon hearing her words, Margaret took a deep breath. She did not dare to tell Jodie the truth and had no


    choice but to respond, “She is my sister from a different father, after all. I guess I‘ll let this slide for my


    mom‘s sake. By the way, what were they doing at the hospital?”


    After pondering over it for a moment, Jodie replied, “I think your mom was there for a checkup. She really


    is leading a good life. In fact, I think that her life is even morefortable than yours. She‘s still so


    healthy at her age, and she doesn‘t have many healthplications. The doctor even said that her body


    condition isparable to young girls, and she has taken good care of herself. Tsk! Tsk! You should be


    worrying more about yourself instead.”


    Margaret was stunned after hearing that. “Are you sure?” Didn‘t Hannah have cancer? She even made


    me beg Christopher to help the Jenkins family!
