Chapter 303


    Christopher felt as if he was drowning in a long, infinite dream. All he could do was watch helplessly as


    the love of his life slowly walked away from him. As if turning off a lightbulb, the world around him


    slowly dimmed as she walked away, never toe back.


    “Eve!” Christopher cried out as he sat up in shock. The wound on his abdomen cracked open with the


    force of his actions, but he paid it no mind as he stumbled toward the door.


    I have to find her. I have to find that silly girl! No one will stop me this time.


    He only managed to walk two steps before his legs folded, causing him to fall to the ground. He winced


    in pain but continued staggering to his feet, trying his best to leave the room. Each step felt like he was


    walking through water, and he finally made it to the door after trying for what felt like ages. As if he had


    reached the promisednd, he shoved the door open with all of his might.


    “Chris, what are you doing? Go back and lie down! Your wound just scabbed over. Don’t make it open


    up again,” Monica cried out as she ran toward him and tried to help him back onto the bed.


    “What do you want to do? Stop moving and talk to me, okay? I’ll help you. Please just stop moving.”


    “Screw off!” Christopher bellowed as he swung an arm at Monica. Instead of her falling over, he


    stumbled under his own strength and fell down once again.


    “Are you okay? Just stop moving, alright? You’re bleeding!”


    In a flurry of panic, Christopher was sent back to his bed by his bodyguards. The doctor helped him


    check his wound again, and the man was speechless from the pain he felt. All he could do was take


    shallow breaths in an attempt to alleviate the throbbing pangsing from his stomach. In his pain, he


    looked around the room hoping to see that familiar figure, but to his dismay, he saw nothing.


    “Your wound has opened up again. Please be careful, Mr. Lane. You were in aa for half a month,


    and the infection from your wound spread to both your lungs and intestines. You only started


    recovering recently, but if it res up again, we might not be able to help any further.”


    The doctor continued to warn Christopher about the dangers of his injury as he cleaned the man’s


    wound. If something really happened to him, the entire Lane family would have their heads, and the


    doctor would definitely lose his job.


    “Wasn’t there a woman who got sent to the hospital with me? Where is she?” Christopher finally


    managed to speak.

    “Huh?” The doctor blinked. He had been instructed to only follow certain orders and said in faux-


    confusion, “There are plenty of patients who get admitted every day, so I’m not sure. Pay attention to


    your wound, alright? Make sure it doesn’t get infected again, Mr. Lane.”


    “I’m talking about Yvonne. Yvonne Tanner!” Christopher stated, raising his voice this time.


    “I would need to go to the hospital chief’s office to find out,” the doctor said as he tightened up the


    bandages. After that, he scurried out of Christopher’s ward. Lying really isn’t something I’ll ever get


    used to.


    Christopher sat up almost immediately after the doctor left the room. He tried to get off the bed once


    again. Upon seeing his attempt to do so, Monica immediately rushed forward to hold him back.


    “Christopher, please stop moving! You’re injured!”


    “I need to see Yvonne!” the man said harshly.


    He had been out for so long, so he hadn’t been able to catch a glimpse of her even until now. He knew


    he wouldn’t be able to rest until he found her. Somehow, he had a gut feeling that something incredibly


    terrible had happened while he was out of it. He was terrified that something had happened to Yvonne


    while he wasn’t there to stop it.


    “If you want to see her, you should wait until you’re fully healed first,” Julia couldn’t help but chide as


    she walked in.


    Christopher’s gaze sharpened at the sight of his parents walking in, and he said coldly, “Mom, did you


    guys hide her somewhere? I knew it. You two locked her away to keep us from seeing each other just


    like you did back then when you locked Darius up so he wouldn’t marry a woman you didn’t like!”


    “We’re doing this for your own good,” Julia retorted with a sheepish look at her son. She wondered why


    both of her sons were so stubborn. If she hadn’t stopped her son from marrying that woman who hadn’t


    the slightest interest in him, who knows what would have happened?
