Chapter 301


    Jeremy smiled and said, “I’m here for an interview. I’m going to find a part-time job.”


    Annabelle asked, “Are you short of money?”


    She looked at Jeremy’s clothes. Although they were all sports and leisure styles, they were all mid-to-


    high-end brands. In theory, he should not be short of


    money.


    Jeremy shook his head and said embarrassedly. “It’s not that I’m short of money. A part-time job can


    help me adapt to society as soon as possible. I can also increase my experience and make some


    money while I’m at it. Since I’m already in my third year, there aren’t many courses to attend, anyway.”


    If they were someone else, Annabelle might feel that they were somewhat pretentious. Yet, Annabelle


    felt Jeremy was sincere.


    She asked, “Have you had your meal yet?”


    Jeremy shook his head and said, “Have you had your meal yet? If you haven’t, I’ll treat you to a meal.


    Is that fine?”


    Annabelle chuckled. “Sure!”


    Another week had passed. Christopher hadn’t returned to the Sce residence this week, and Yuliana


    hadn’t contacted him as well.


    They had seen each other several times in the hospital. But even if they met, they didn’t interact with


    each other.


    Winnie’s condition was already terrible. At first, she was awake for a few minutes every day. Butter,


    even with her eyes open, she was still in a daze. She didn’t know anything and couldn’t eat anything


    every day. She lived by getting nutrients through IV drips.


    After a few days, she was already skinny and had only ayer of skin left.


    La rushed back from Romdale and put all her work away temporarily. La stayed with Winnie


    every day in the hospital. Even if there was something important to deal with, La would either settle


    it online or leave it to someone she trusted.


    Yuliana still went to the hospital every day, but she hadn’t stayed for a long time.


    La noticed that there was something wrong between Christopher and Yuliana, but La’s mind was


    too upied to ask about it. La already felt terrible when she saw Winnie lying on the bed every day


    and being in an unconscious state.


    Later, La even felt that it was better for Winnie to suffer less without hesitation rather than barely


    surviving in such an undignified state.


    After barely holding on for half a month in the hospital, Winnie still passed away. Just a few minutes


    after Winnie’s death, a phone call came from the Sce residence, saying that Zachary had also


    passed away. The time in between their passing was only two minutes apart from each other. It was as


    if they had made an arrangement to do so.


    When La heard the news, she couldn’t help but cry in public, even if she was a strong woman who


    was incredible in the workce.


    Meanwhile, Christopher was quiet and said nothing at all.


    Yuliana’s heart was empty. Suddenly, the two elders passed away together. She was still in a trance,


    but suddenly she remembered a saying.


    When one’s parents were still alive, one would still have a ce to call home. However, when one’s


    parents passed away, one would lose the ce they call home.


    Although Zachary and Winnie were not high-profile people, they were still the head and the matriarch of


    the Sce family. Their sessive deaths made a sensation in the circle. In addition to the family,


    there were also many friends in the circle who gave their condolences to them.


    Winnie said before she died that she wanted to be buried with Zachary after death. As Winnie and


    Zachary’s children, they naturally respected Winnie’sst wish and buried the ashes of Winnie and


    Zachary together.


    It was already the end of September when the funeral was over, and Juxshire was getting a little cold.


    The huge Sce residence was bing quieter.


    Christopher had been living in the Sce residence throughout these few days. However, he had only


    been sleeping in the guest room.

    He didn’t go out today.


    When he was having breakfast, Yuliana noticed he looked bad and had been coughing a little.


    Yuliana took Rowan for a walk in the yard.


    It was a bit cold, so Hailey brought a coat for Rowan.


    Yuliana put the coat on Rowan. Then she looked up in a certain direction and asked, “Hailey, is


    Christopher in the study room?”


    Hailey nodded, “Yes. Just now, I went upstairs to bring Mr. Christopher Sce coffee. I saw him


    coughing nonstop. He didn’t have a good rest because he was handling the funerals of Mr. Zachary


    Sce and Mrs. Sce recently. Besides, the temperature has dropped these days. He must be sick.


    Yuliana, you should get some medicine for Mr. Christopher Sce.”


    Hailey stared at Yuliana while saying thest sentence.


    It wasn’t a secret in the Sce residence that Yuliana and Christopher were sleeping in separate


    rooms.


    Naturally, Hailey knew something was wrong with the couple. But she thought it was merely a quarrel


    between the couple and was not a big deal. So she asked Yuliana to send medicine to Christopher to


    ease their rtionship.


    Rowan was not used to putting on the coat. He struggled in Yuliana’s arms and grabbed her hair with


    his hand.


    Yuliana felt a little pain when her hair was pulled. She lowered her eyes and smiled gently at Rowan.


    She pulled her hair out of his hand and said, “You can’t pull my hair because it will hurt. Okay?”


    Rowan seemed to know what Yuliana was talking about. He tried to pull Yuliana’s hair again as if he


    was trying to go against her.


    “What a bad boy.” Yuliana scolded Rowan dotingly, but she only smiled and didn’t continue to stop his


    action. She lowered her eyes and smiled gently. After a while, she replied faintly, “Okay.”


    Hailey was stunned for a moment before she realized Yuliana was replying to her.


    Yuliana yed in the yard with Rowan for half an hour before she handed Rowan to Hailey. Then,


    Yuliana went to get some cough medicine and brought a ss of water upstairs.


    At the door of the study room, she didn’t go in immediately and knocked on the door first.


    After hearing the man coughing inside and answering her knocks in a deep voice, she opened the door


    and went in.


    Christopher’s eyes were fixed on theputer, and he did not look at the door.


    Yuliana walked up to him and put the medicine and water in front of him. Then he nced sideways


    and looked up at Yuliana.


    Yuliana looked at him and said, “Hailey said you were coughing. I brought some medicine.”


    Looking at each other for two seconds, Christopher took the medicine and swallowed it. Then he took a


    sip of water.


    After taking the medicine, Christopher continued to stare at theputer screen and tapped on the


    keyboard with his fingers quickly from time to time.


    After a while, seeing that Yuliana was still standing there, he stopped and looked at her again. “Is there


    anything else?”


    Yuliana lowered her eyes and smiled, then said, “I’ve considered everything you saidst time. I agree


    to divorce.”


    Hearing this, Christopher’s hand on the mouse tightened subconsciously, and he looked stunned for a


    moment. But soon, he became rxed again. “Okay.”


    After saying that, he looked out of the window and was silent for a while. Then, he continued, “I’m a


    little busy these days. Let thewyer prepare the divorce agreement for you first. After I’m done with


    work these days, we’ll find some time to go to the City Hall to handle the formalities.”


    Yuliana agreed and replied, “I’m nning to take Roe and leave the Sce residence tomorrow.”


    The muscles on Christopher’s cheek twitched twice. He leaned back against the back of the chair.


    “Oceanview Apartment is under my name. ording to the prenuptial agreement, I’ll leave the


    marriage with nothing. That house deserves to belong to you. You should bring Roe along and stay


    there.”
