Christine Quinn was cutting her food and shook her head, "eting you is my good fortune."
Jonathon Gibson put down his cutlery and said seriously, "Christine, I will always stay here to take care of you... I said I wouldn’t let anything happen to you."
Christine Quinn sighed softly, lifted her eyes apologetically towards Jonathon Gibson, "I’ve always wanted to apologize to you... When I was in London, I left without saying goodbye and made you worry about ."
"I can understand your actions at the ti..."
Christine Quinn shook her head forcefully, "I’m sorry, actually I didn’t intend to go to the UK for treatnt with you, I just wanted your help to leave Y City."
Jonathon Gibson looked deeply at Christine Quinn, "I know."
Christine Quinn lowered her head in guilt, "I let you down, I’m very sorry."
"But I’m glad Mr. Geoffrey found you, otherwise even I couldn’t have found such a good dical team to treat you."
"I’m grateful to him too... he’s great, a good match for my sister."
"Christine, I wish to stay here to take care of you, whether your body recovers or not, I’m willing to be with you."
"Jonathon, there’s no need, your career has just reached its ideal stage, I don’t want you to waste your ti here... The island’s residents are very warm, I’ll be fine here, don’t worry."
"To , besides you, nothing is more important."
"You’re silly. You shouldn’t have co here at all..."
"I’m not silly... Over ten years ago, I gave up my feelings for you and entrusted you to Oversky, which is the worst decision I’ve made in my life. I won’t let you suffer any more, I want your upcoming days to be filled with happiness and joy."
Christine Quinn looked afar at the sea with distant eyes, "That was my decision, so I alone must bear the consequences."
"Did you know I fought with Skyler Jones in London?"
Christine Quinn slowly looked at Jonathon Gibson.
Jonathon Gibson spoke softly, "He ca to see you, with an arrogant look... A man like him, stubborn and arrogant, will never understand others, nor will he accept others’ kindness; he doesn’t deserve to have you at all."
"Everyone has two sides, I know his true character isn’t like that."
"At this point, are you still speaking for him?" ntioning Skyler Jones made Jonathon Gibson very angry.
Christine Quinn shook her head very calmly, "I won’t let my relationship with Skyler Jones prevent from looking at him objectively... He was changed by too many things, he used to be a very good person."
"So, do you still care about him?"
Christine Quinn said truthfully, "When I think of him now, I mostly hope he can live a better life than before because he hasn’t been happy many tis in his life, and heaven should be fairer to him."
"Why don’t you pray to heaven to be fairer to you?"
"Hmm?"
"You’ve loved him for so many years, in the end, what has he given you? If it weren’t for him, your health wouldn’t have turned out like this." Jonathon Gibson said indignantly.
Christine Quinn calmly lowered her eyes, laughed softly, "It was my choice, he never forced , and over these years I was very clear that there would be no outco for us, so I have no reason to bla him."
"If... if your body could recover, would you go back to him?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Because all signs show he’s a slow-to-realize type of man. For you, he published ads to find you in over sixty countries worldwide, he himself went to London for you, and he almost tore down the hospital that announced your ’death’ for you... I don’t want to hide it from you, although I don’t want to admit it, I think he does care about you."
Christine Quinn sighed painfully, "But it’s a pity I’ve already exhausted my heart; even if my body recovers, I can’t love him like I did before... because the days without him are the ones I most want to live now, I finally don’t have to think about how to make up for my owed debts to him every day, and I don’t have to face his cold words and all kinds of hurt."
"Even if he’s standing in front of you now, you remain unmoved."
"I wouldn’t be unmoved, no matter what, he’s the father of my child, I can still be ordinary friends with him, but beyond that, I won’t have any more connections with him."
Christine Quinn’s words were clearly heard by Skyler Jones.
Skyler Jones’ deep eyes gradually darkened...
Skyler Jones’ subordinate also heard the conversation between the boss’s wife and the "new boyfriend", he couldn’t help but constantly sneak glances at the boss’s expression, but unfortunately, his boss could always hide his feelings under that expressionless face.
"Mr. Jones..." The subordinate couldn’t help but ask again, "Do you want to go up to the lady and clarify... Maybe, there’s still room for things to turn around."
Skyler Jones turned around, a hint of unnoticeable disappointnt and pain flickered in his eyes.
The subordinate hurriedly caught up with Skyler Jones, "Mr. Jones, since you’re here, et with the lady..."
Skyler Jones abruptly stopped his pace, "Do you think she wants to see ?"
The subordinate was a little confused by Skyler Jones’ question, "This..."
Skyler Jones had already found the answer from his subordinate’s hesitant face.
The subordinate quickly added, "I just think it’s been hard to find the lady, even if she doesn’t want to see you, you should et her..."
Skyler Jones looked at the subordinate, after a long while, he uttered, "She no longer needs ."
The sky began to brighten, and Skyler Jones slowly opened his eyes.
Despite waking up early, he finally freed himself from the grip of insomnia.
The island’s residents were still in their dreams; he, in a robe, ca to the balcony outside the room.
In the blink of an eye, he had been on the island for over ten days...
In these over ten days, he led a simple yet peaceful life, every day he saw her walking on the beach, and watched her body seemingly grow healthier day by day.
"Mr. Jones, you’re up so early!"
An elderly voice suddenly sounded behind Skyler Jones.
Skyler Jones turned around and saw Uncle Luke carrying a bamboo tray to dry the salted fish.
Skyler Jones wasn’t cold by nature and gave Uncle Luke a mild smile, "Mm."
As Uncle Luke hung the salted fish, he said, "Mr. Jones, if I’m not mistaken, you ca to the island to find Miss Quinn, right?"
Skyler Jones responded with a faint smile, remaining silent.
