"So, Mom, Becca... please don’t regret that my relationship with him ended up like this, and please forgive my selfishness in asking you for one thing: don’t let Skyler Jones know about , at least while I’m still in this world, let truly live for myself once..."
"Please take good care of Marie for . If a miracle from heaven lets survive, one day I will co back to find my daughter, I beg of you."
"Also, don’t bla Howard Geoffrey, I implored him to do all of this... Lastly, I wish you all well, Mom, may your health be as enduring as the mountains, and Becca, may you and Howard Geoffrey find eternal happiness... Don’t worry."
After watching the video, Mrs. Geoffrey was already in tears.
Rebecca Quentin’s eyes were also brimming with tears, but her emotions had cald considerably compared to the first ti she saw the video.
Mrs. Geoffrey covered her mouth to suppress her sobbing and asked, "So, despite Christine Quinn’s surgery, her life is still in danger..."
Rebecca Quentin bit her lip and nodded.
"Is it really incurable?" Mrs. Geoffrey looked at Howard Geoffrey hopefully.
Howard Geoffrey sighed and shook his head, "I’ve hired the best doctors in the world, they’ve all done their best."
Rebecca Quentin couldn’t help but curse, "Then what’s the point of the surgery?"
"At least those doctors have preserved Christine’s life for a while..."
Mrs. Geoffrey’s voice trembled, "Then, then exactly how much ti does Christine have..."
Howard Geoffrey reluctantly spoke, "Not more than three months."
Upon hearing Howard Geoffrey’s words, Rebecca Quentin, who had been holding back her tears, finally lost control, covered her mouth, and burst into sobs.
Mrs. Geoffrey’s eyes were vacant as she murmured, "Three, three months..."
For Christine Quinn, she lived for her mother before eting Skyler Jones; after eting Skyler Jones, she lived for him and Marie. Therefore, in these remaining three months, she will want to live for herself...
Once Mrs. Geoffrey regained her composure, she asked, "Where is Christine now?"
"She said she wanted to go to a place she’s wanted to visit for a long ti, I’ve already arranged for soone to send her."
Mrs. Geoffrey asked anxiously, "Where is it?"
"Sorry, mom, I can’t let Howard Geoffrey tell you because I know you’ll feel for Mr. Jones..." Rebecca Quentin bit her lip gloomily and struggled to say emotionally, "I can’t let Mr. Jones know my sister’s whereabouts, he’s already delayed and missed half of her life, for the last three months, let’s allow my sister the selfishness to have a period in her life without worrying about anyone or anything."
Considering Marie, Christine Quinn’s "death news" was not made public, which also gave Rebecca Quentin and others a reason not to hold a funeral for Christine Quinn.
Skyler Jones’s level of despondency was more severe than everyone imagined...
He spent more than a month in that dim room, accompanied by alcohol day and night, at its worst, he was hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning...
Fortunately, after being admitted to the hospital, when he heard Marie crying beside him, he realized he still had Marie to care for.
Therefore, from that day on, he ca back to life.
Even though he was more silent and reserved than before, he still pretended to be unconcerned in front of Marie and continued to tell her the lie that Christine Quinn simply didn’t want to return to him.
On this day, Skyler Jones sat alone in the study, lost in thought.
Marie ran in from outside, holding a book, "Daddy, Daddy..."
Skyler Jones snapped back to reality and looked at his daughter, "Hm?"
Marie handed the book to Skyler Jones.
"What is it?" Skyler Jones asked.
"It’s a diary."
"Your diary?"
Marie shook her head, "It’s Mommy’s."
"Your Mommy’s?"
"Yes... Daddy, did you forget? When we ca to New York, we brought Mommy’s things over, and the aunties found this diary while tidying up the house. I wanted to give it to you, but during that ti, you were drinking every day..."
Skyler Jones stared deeply at the diary with its white cover, his chest throbbing with pain.
"Daddy, the diary has a lock, I can’t open it... can you open it?"
"Let try."
Skyler Jones took the diary, looked at the combination lock, and concentrated for a mont.
Suddenly, he entered a series of numbers.
No one expected that he would so accurately guess the password she set on her diary, with a click, the diary opened.
He hadn’t expected to find one of her photos inside the diary, in the photo she looked youthful, sweet, and adorable.
He took the photo, looking at her for a long ti, the pain in his heart rippling.
Suddenly, he put down the photo and casually opened a page.
The diary bore her graceful handwriting.
Month X Day X, Weather: Sunny, Mood: From sunny to overcast.
Today Jonathon called to ask out again...
I know his feelings for , I don’t want him to continue wasting ti on , so this ti I agreed to et him.
I hadn’t expected that he knew full well what I wanted to say to him; he proactively told he and I would only be friends, which made it much easier for .
More unexpectedly, today he brought a photo taken when I was seventeen.
Looking at the photo of my seventeen-year-old self, I couldn’t help but sigh at the passage of ti, a decade passing in the blink of an eye...
I still rember why I took that picture; back then, I wanted to have a lovely photo to place in Skyler Jones’s wallet, so he could see every day and always rember ...
The pity is, after taking this photo back then, I never found it, of course, I didn’t know Jonathon had taken the photo, so I never managed to place it in Skyler Jones’s wallet... Now looking back, maybe it was destined back then that he could never see every day, nor always rember .
The al with Jonathon was very enjoyable, but I hadn’t expected that when parting, Jonathon unintentionally ntioned Skyler Jones and Jennifer Douglas’s affair...
I thought I wouldn’t care at all, but at that mont, upon learning that he and Jennifer Douglas were seen together publicly, my heart felt like being pierced by needles, it hurt so much.
