Chapter 290


    It then urred to me that I had never once considered Christopher’s dream.


    To me, he was someone who nevercked a thing. He had everything anyone could ever dream of.


    When I first knew him, I had thought of him as a prodigal spoiled brat.


    “His dream was to be a military leader so he could protect the country, but one day, he decided to give


    it up and leave the army. Everyone was confused by his decision, but when I saw you, I finally


    understood why he stopped pursuing his dream. If you really love him, you should stop standing in his


    way. You should let him chase after his dream without any reservation.”


    I never once thought I would one day be a stumbling block to the path of the person I loved most.


    I wondered what else Christopher had sacrificed for me.


    However, it was exactly because he had given up so much for our rtionship that I could not just opt-


    out. “Ms. Martin, your advice is well-received, but I will never let go of him. Giving up right now will be


    the biggest disservice to him after all he has done for me.”


    At that, Monica red at me in disbelief and anger. “I… I can’t believe you can be this selfish.” I


    believed she wanted to say something blunter, but because she was born ady, she could not bring


    herself to utter any despicable words.


    “Is this Ms. Martin or her jealousy talking?” The door suddenly opened, revealing Sabrina, who stood at


    the entrance. “You’re the one who’s selfish here, Ms. Martin. All you can think of is how great you areBelongs to (N)?vel/Drama.Org.


    and how Christopher is worthy is you, but too bad, he’s not interested. You knew Eve lost her sight


    because she saved him. I can’t believe you still have the audacity to discredit her sacrifice like this. You


    should keep your jealousy in check. Not even the thickest makeup can cover that up.”


    Sabrina berated Monica mercilessly after she walked in.


    “I’m just telling the truth, Ms. Zimmer. Correct me if I’m wrong.” Monica tried making her case.


    “The truth is that you’re coercing Christopher’s lover to leave him because you wanted to marry him


    yourself. You’re so low,” Sabrina remarked tantly, “How about you make a move first?”


    Although I could not see a thing, I could sense that Monica was deeply offended. I cried out at Sabrina


    to ask her to stop. After all, Monica knew Christopher a lot earlier than I did. I had always felt guilty


    toward her. Besides, she just helped me out just now. I would still need to be courteous toward her.


    “Do think about what I’ve said, Ms. Tanner,” Monica turned toward me and said before leaving.


    “There’s nothing to consider. Eve is already married to Christopher, so there’s nothing you can do!”


    Sabrina eximed, mming the door behind Monica. After that, she came back to my side and shook


    me hard. “Seriously, what’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you’re really affected by what she said. She


    might seem confident and gentle, but she’s a serpent. She’s just using Christopher’s dream as an


    excuse to ward you off.”


    I turned toward my friend with tears welling up in my eyes. “What should I do, Sabby? I really do think


    what she said makes sense. Why am I so useless? I don’t want him to give up anything because of


    me.”


    “Come on, do you really take her seriously? You shouldn’t waver just because of what she said. Have


    you forgotten everything Christopher has done for you? He instantly rified the misunderstanding


    about his engagement just because you were sad over it. Is this still not enough for you to see how


    much he cares for you?”


    Sabrina ruffled my hair and sat down. “Stop beating yourself over something that is not even your fault.


    I’ll get angry with you if you keep sulking.”


    “But I can’t see a thing now, Sabby. Something happened just now, and I tried getting the nurse to


    come to check on Christopher, but I ended up spilling hot water on him. Does this mean I can only sit


    by and watch without being able to do anything in the future when he’s sick? I won’t be able to take


    care of him. This is so unfair!” I ranted, covering my face with my hands.


    Sabrina chided, “There’s no such thing as fairness when ites to love. A rtionship is reciprocal;


    both parties need to make sacrifices. Cut this crap out or I’m not gonna talk to you anymore.”
