Chapter 404


    Anger flickered in Christopher’s eyes. He held me tightly in his arms and gritted his teeth. “I don’t love


    Monica. I’ve said this five years ago but none of you took it seriously. Do you want me to marry a


    woman I don’t love ording to your orders, just like what Darius did? Are you happy to see me living


    like a zombie every day? Are you satisfied with meing back once a year? Is that what you want?”


    Suddenly, a hush fell over us as Christopher said that. There was a dead silence, and only Julia’s


    panting sound could be heard. Fury kept rising in Christopher’s eyes. After a while, Julia suddenly


    reached out her hand and pointed at me. “What’s so good about this woman? Are you willing to give up


    on your mom for this woman?”


    “Because she’s willing to die for me. She would rather die than hurt me. Because she loves me with all


    her heart. Isn’t that enough?” Christopher answered calmly. He even asked if the reason was enough


    after his sentences.


    I felt like crying. After all, he still came into conflict with his mother because of me. The two of them had


    almost fallen out. Monica had indeede up with such a brilliant n. She didn’t even have to put


    much thought into it. Julia would go all out and seek justice for her. She could even turn a blind eye and


    pretend that nothing happened earlier.


    “Monica can do whatever you’ve just said. Why can’t you just ept Monica? She can’t live without


    you. She’ll die.” Julia covered her face and started crying.


    “But I can’t live without Eve. I will die.” Christopher looked at Julia and said in a deep voice, “Mom, I will


    not threaten you with death like Monica. However, I wish I could have your blessing because you’re my


    mother, and you gave me life. Do you understand?”


    “I… I understand. But what about Monica? What is Monica going to do?” Julia lost control and sobbed


    softly.


    Christopher wanted to say something further. Without a second thought, I pulled his hand. Julia was his


    mother, so she shouldn’t be forcing her into a corner. Christopher’s attitude and Monica’s persistence


    were going to hurt her.


    “That’s enough,” I whispered.


    He stroked my head gently and kissed me on the forehead.


    All of a sudden, the door of the emergency room opened. Doctors and nurses pushed the hospital bed


    and walked out of the operating room. I rushed over almost immediately and grabbed the doctor’s


    cor. “Doctor, how’s the patient? Is she out of danger now?”


    “Miss, please calm down!” The doctor said with a displeased tone as he pried my hand away. “The


    patient is still unconscious due to excessive blood loss. Fortunately, she was sent in just in time. She’s


    out of danger now, and she will need to have a good rest. You are allowed to visit her in the Intensive


    Care Unit, but no more than half an hour.”


    “Thank God she’s fine!” I heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, I felt weak and exhausted after being too


    anxious for a long time. I rxed and leaned back against the wall, panting heavily.


    “Stop being a hypocrite here!” Mitchell growled.


    Julia followed Monica’s hospital bed toward the ward. She shed tears of joy and said, “I’m d that


    she’s alive. As long as she’s fine, everything can be solved. Monica, please don’t do anything silly


    anymore.”


    “It’s you, Julia. I’m sorry for making you worry. I was such a fool. Please stop crying. I was so sad when


    you told me that I have disappointed you yesterday. You’re like my mother. I’ve already lost Chris, so I


    can’t afford to lose you anymore. If I have lost you too, then what’s the point of living?” Monica said


    weakly, lying in the hospital bed.


    “How could I ignore you? I was just upset. Be a good girl. Don’t ever do anything silly again. This is too


    much for me. You can do anything you want. We can figure things out together. There’s always a way


    out.” Julia wiped her tears away.


    “Julia, I felt that I’vepletely lost Chris this time. What should I do? I don’t want to lose him.”


    Upon hearing that, a strong feeling of hatred filled my heart as I was disgusted to the core. Despite


    what happened to Christopher, Julia still treated Monica like her own daughter. And yet, Monica was


    threatening Julia with her own life. Julia, a sessful businesswoman somehow decided to


    compromise.
