Chapter 244


    Chapter 244 Discussion


    Yuliana was silent for a moment as she looked into his eyes. Initially, she wanted to brush it off.


    However, she did not expect Christopher to guess it so quickly. She did not even have a chance to


    react.


    She lowered her eyes and answered softly, “Yes.”


    Christopher looked at her eyshes, which were trembling slightly, and asked, “Why did hee?”


    Yuliana frowned slightly. She turned around and put the flowers back into the vase as she responded,


    “Nothing. He just came to visit me.”


    Christopher chuckled, and then the expression on his face became cold. “I didn’t even know that the


    rtionship between ex-wife and ex-husband can be so harmonious. You gave birth to my son, and he


    came to visit you.”


    His tone was t, and one could not tell his emotions.


    However, Yuliana felt that he was unhappy. She arranged the flowers, turned around, looked at him for


    a moment, and said, “Christopher, I have something to discuss with you.”


    Christopher did not speak immediately, but his gray eyes were fixed on her.


    After a while, he asked, “What is it?”


    Yuliana paused for another two seconds and said, “I don’t want to pursue the matter further.”


    Christopher looked calm and asked in a low voice, “Why?”


    Yuliana almost did not dare to look into his eyes. However, she made herself meet his eyes and said, “I


    owe Harry a favor. I’ll pay him back this time, okay?”


    After saying that, Christopher’s eyes gradually turned colder and colder, and finally, it seemed as if a


    thickyer of ice had formed in his eyes.


    Christopher remained silent for a long time.


    His stare made Yuliana anxious, and she pursed her lips harder.


    She was afraid that Christopher would ask her about the favor she owed Harry. She did not know how


    to make up another excuse.


    It was as if the time in the ward had stopped. They looked at each other silently for a while until Hailey’s


    voice sounded when the door was opened.


    “Mr. Sce, you’re back.”


    Both of them retracted their gazes simultaneously, and the atmosphere in the room returned to normal.


    Christopher nonchntly greeted Hailey, then walked to a chair and sat about two or three steps away


    from the bed. Yuliana went to her bed and picked up the book next to her.


    Hailey nced at them and then realized something was wrong.


    In the past few days, both of them were extremely affectionate to each other. It was to the point where


    Hailey felt she was an eyesore. Hence, she would stay outside the ward as much as possible when she


    had nothing


    to do.


    “I only went out for a while. Howe they argued with each other?” Although Hailey was muttering in


    her heart, she knew her position. She would never ask anything she should not ask.


    Yuliana would be discharged from the hospital the following morning. Hence, Hailey walked in and out


    to pack her things. Although Yuliana only stayed in the hospital for a few days, there were quite some


    misceneous items, so Hailey packed the items that Yuliana did not use.


    Christopher and Yuliana sat on the opposite side. One of them was reading while the other was staring


    out the window with an icy expression.


    Yuliana could not focus at all. She held the book in her hand and felt like the words on the pages had


    blended and formed a dark-colored ball. She did not turn a page for a long time and could not help but


    nce at the man sitting on the chair from the corner of her eye.


    She felt as if there were silk threads entwining tightly in her heart. She wanted to untangle it, but the


    harder she tried, the tighter they tangied.


    The next morning. Yuliana finally saw Rowan, who was six days old, through the ss.


    She had not realized it when she looked at him through the phone, but now that she saw him in person,


    she realized he was extremely tiny, only almost the size of two of her palms.


    Yuliana did not know how to describe her feelings. It was quite a strange feeling.


    It felt strange, yet familiar.


    Rowan was her and Christopher’s baby. Their blood was in his body, and he would grow from such a


    tiny baby to an adult like Christopher or her.


    In the future, he would call her “Mommy.”


    Yuliana’s eyes brimmed with tears, but she did not dare to cry. She did not want her vision to be


    blurry, making her unable to see Rowan’s face clearly.


    There was a time limit for visitation. It was only a few minutes, and she did not want to waste even a


    second. As soon as the visitation time reached its limit, the nurses came over to urge them to leave.


    When Yuliana came out of the ICU, she let her tears fall. Shey on Christopher’s shoulder and could


    not control her emotions. She had cried so much these days, and it almost felt like she had used up the


    tears for her whole life.


    Christopher gently patted her frail back,forting her softly, “Don’t cry. We’ll pick him up when he


    recovers. By then, you can see him at home every day.”


    Yuliana calmed down, and they went back to the ward.


    After the discharge procedures were done, Christopher took Yuliana and Hailey back to Oceanview


    Apartment.


    On the third day after Yuliana was discharged from the hospital, the two men who attempted to take


    advantage of Yuliana that night retracted their confessions, denied all their previous testimonies, and


    disclosed that Margaret had nothing to do with everything. Both of them took full responsibility for what


    had happened.


    They said they had a grudge against Margaret. Hence, they deliberately made things up to take


    revenge on her.

    The police did not wholly believe their testimony. However, Margaret suddenly fell sick and applied for


    medical bail. Gerald, who was in charge of the case, initially rejected her application, but his superior


    issued an order and let Margaret out of the detention center the same day.


    After that, the police verified the testimony of the two men and confirmed that they did have a dispute


    with Margaret.


    During the second half of the previous year, Margaret and her friends went to a club, and the two men


    served Margaret at that time. For some reason, Margaret got into a serious argument with them.


    The club owner was afraid of offending the guests, so he asked the two men to apologize to her.


    However, Margaret was so angry that time that she insisted they kneel in front of her.


    To keep their job, the two men knelt and apologized to Margaret.


    However, they had always wanted to take revenge on Margaret, so they investigated her privately.


    They set her up after knowing she did not get along with Yuliana.


    About two weekster, the two kidnappers who kidnapped Yuliana were also arrested. The testimony of


    the two kidnappers matched the testimony of the two men, and all kinds of evidence proved that it had


    nothing to do with Margaret.


    As a result, Margaret waspletely disassociated from the case.


    However, less than a week after Margaret left the detention center, she had a dispute with someone.


    She beat a person up and caused that person to be seriously injured. Hence, she was sent to the


    detention center again The victim refused to ept anypensation and wanted Margaret to be put


    in jail.


    Besides, someone recorded Margaret when she was beating up the victim and uploaded the video


    online. Shortly after, Margaret’s past was also exposed. Her arrogant and rude behavior angered the


    public. The impact of the incident was so bad that it would be useless even if the Ziegler family wanted


    to help. Rowan stayed in the incubator for seven weeks before his vital signs returned to normal. He


    was finally discharged and could go home.
