Chapter 304


    “For my own good?” Christopher scowled with a steely expression. “I can’t believe you locked Yvonne


    up. Did you think that would stop me? I’d rather die than marry another woman. Yvonne is the only girl


    I’ll ever love. If you guys want someone else so badly, you guys can go get married. I’m never going to


    love another woman the same way I love Yvonne, and I know she’ll say the same!”


    “You and Yvonne are i-ipatible,” Julia said as she turned around to hide her guilt from Christopher.


    “As parents, we only ever do things for your own good. Can’t you trust us? If we hadn’t stopped your


    brother back then, can you imagine how humiliated he would have gotten? Are you going to make us


    go through that again?”


    Julia couldn’t help but start crying again as she spoke.


    Christopher’s steely gaze softened at the sight of his mother’s tears. He pointed to his wound and said


    steely, “Mom, you have no idea how good of a person Yvonne is. She deserves more love than it is


    humanly possible to give. Look at this wound. Do you think I’d have been able to live on a deserted


    ind for a week with this injury if I were alone?”

    His voice softened further at the mention of Yvonne, and his eyes warmed up with a hint of a smile.


    “The time I spent on that ind was the most hopeless I’d ever been. We had only live fish to eat that


    we had to catch with our bare hands. Since I was out ofmission, Yvonne was the one who had to


    catch the food for us even though she was afraid of water. She used all the clear water we had to clean


    my injuries and to keep me hydrated. She searched throughout the whole ind for any edible roots


    and herbs every day, and even though she must have been dying of thirst, she never once wasted a


    drop or took any for herself.”


    Julia could sense Yvonne’s determination through Christopher’s simple descriptions. She could tell how


    brave Yvonne had to be to go through all of that for Christopher.


    If Julia were in Yvonne’s ce, she wouldn’t have been able to do the same thing. She couldn’t fathom


    why someone would go to such great lengths for someone who was about to die. But there Yvonne


    was, still willing to butt heads with them.


    Monica pressed a hand to her mouth to suppress her gasp of shock. Even during hisa,


    Christopher constantly murmured Yvonne’s name. Sometimes he would mumble for her to leave, and


    sometimes he would whisper for her to live happily.


    She was shocked when she first heard it, but over time, Monica finally understood how much that


    unassuming woman hadpletely taken over Christopher’s heart. She was already the apple of his


    eye, and Monica had never been more jealous of someone. I met Christopher first! Why did Yvonne


    have to appear and ruin everything? After all, Yvonne was still just a woman with a bad reputation who


    had gotten abandoned by her husband.


    Monica didn’t regret doing everything she did. It might not have been the right thing to do, but her love


    for Christopher truly conquered all. Ever since they were fifteen years old, her family had joked about


    the two of them getting engaged. She had been infatuated with Christopher then, and her feelings


    hadn’t changed one bit.


    Now that that woman was gone, Christopher and Monica would definitely settle down and have a


    happy family together. By then, she would no longer have anything to worry about.


    Monica calmed down slightly at this thought. She had still gotten the guy she loved at the end, and


    Yvonne was no longer there to interfere. Monica was finally the one and only pick for Christopher once


    again.


    “Mom, you always told me thatpatibility is the most important in finding love. Since I’ve already


    found that someone, all I want is for you to give me your blessings and not your disapproval,”


    Christopher said as he leaned back against the headboard, tears beginning to mist over his eyes.


    He continued firmly, “Do you know how silly that woman is? When we ran out of water, she didn’t


    hesitate to bite her finger open so I could drink her blood. When a boat came and allowed all uninjured


    people on board, Crystal managed to leave Lyle behind without a second thought. But, what did


    Yvonne do? She stayed by my side and took care of me. I know she thought I had no clue, but I was


    only in a daze! I wasn’t cked out! You have no idea how much I wanted her to leave me behind then.


    “Don’t you think she’s ridiculous? We literally fought against death itself to be able toe together


    once more, so how could you be willing to split us apart again? Please don’t take her away from me. If


    you hurt her, you’re hurting me, too.” Christopher’s voice broke at the end of his sentence.
