Christine Quinn’s body trembled heavily.
The subordinate’s eyes were glistening with tears as he choked, "The president announced externally to sell ’Oversky’ just to prevent outsiders from seeing him like this. You know, the president has always been very proud, sigh..."
"I want to go in to see him, I must go in."
"Madam President, the president wouldn’t want to see you..."
"Does he think that avoiding this way is a solution?"
"But..."
Before the subordinate could stop her, Christine Quinn had already pushed open the hospital room door and walked in.
In the spacious and comfortable hospital room, Skyler Jones lay on the bed.
Beside the bed, Marie was shaking his arm, "Daddy, daddy... Why don’t you talk to ? Daddy..."
Since Skyler Jones had his back to Christine Quinn, she couldn’t see his expression, only knowing he didn’t respond to Marie.
Seeing Christine Quinn, Marie imdiately let go of her father and ran to Christine, dejectedly saying, "Mommy, why doesn’t daddy respond when I talk to him..."
Christine noticed that when Marie called her, Skyler Jones’s body noticeably stiffened.
Marie said pitifully, "Mommy, go see daddy, daddy doesn’t know why he’s ignoring everyone..."
Christine gently said to her daughter, "Marie, step outside for a bit, mommy needs to talk to daddy. You can co back in later."
"But daddy..."
"Listen to mommy."
"Okay."
"Be good, wait outside for a while."
"Hmm."
Marie, usually obedient, walked out of the hospital room sowhat reluctantly.
At this mont, only Christine Quinn and Skyler Jones were left in the room.
Christine ca to the bedside and spoke, "Why wouldn’t you tell any of us about such a big issue?"
Skyler Jones remained silent with his back toward Christine.
"No matter what happens, everyone helping you is always better than facing it alone."
Skyler Jones’s back stiffened but he still didn’t speak.
Christine suddenly stepped in front of Skyler and, seeing his eyes closed, couldn’t help but squat down, shaking his arm, "Oversky, Oversky..."
Under Christine’s desperate calls, Skyler Jones finally slowly opened his eyes.
His once proud gaze now only bore despair and despondency, his unfocused eyes looking at her, "Why are you here?"
"I..." Christine was instantly lost for words.
"Do you still care about ? Didn’t you stop loving ?"
"I still care for you, after all, you are Marie’s father, and we agreed to be friends, didn’t we?"
Skyler snorted, "In my condition now, what kind of friends can we be..."
"Oversky, please don’t be like this..." Seeing Skyler’s despondent and negative state, Christine’s throat suddenly tightened.
"It’s good that you didn’t choose , otherwise, you’d be with a disabled person for life..."
Christine shook her head vigorously, "Don’t say that. You’re not disabled, you’re okay now. As long as you cooperate with the treatnt, you will definitely recover!"
"I won’t recover. The doctor said that even if I cooperate with treatnt, at most I won’t need amputation, but paralysis is already fated..."
"No, you won’t be paralyzed. You..." Christine choked up.
"Take Marie away. I don’t want my daughter to see like this, and please take care of Marie for during this ti, don’t co to see anymore."
"Oversky..."
"Leave!!" Skyler suddenly shouted.
Christine was startled, tears gathering in her eyes.
Up till this mont, she could console herself by thinking maybe he was just badly injured and not as severe as Howard Geoffrey found out, but now, seeing his negative rage, her heart felt inexplicably heavy...
At this ti, a doctor-like person walked in from outside, followed by two nurses.
The doctor spoke, "Mr. Jones, the results of your examination this morning have beco increasingly pessimistic. If you don’t cooperate with treatnt, you may really lose your legs..."
"It’s paralysis, what do I need these legs for?" Skyler burned with anger.
"But Mr. Jones, and if we preserve your legs, maybe there’s still a glimr of hope..."
"I’m not a child; you don’t need to lie to !!" Skyler’s tone grew more irritable.
Christine cupped Skyler’s face, gazing at him earnestly, "Oversky, listen to the doctor’s advice, don’t let your legs get infected, please cooperate with the treatnt, okay?"
Skyler angrily removed Christine’s hands, yelling, "Didn’t I ask you to leave? Get out, out!!!"
The subordinate heard Skyler’s voice from outside and rushed in, "President..."
Skyler angrily said to the subordinate, "Didn’t I say not to let anyone in? Are you treating my words as empty air?"
The subordinate was so frightened his face turned pale, "This..."
"Get them all out!" Skyler said impatiently.
The subordinate hurriedly bowed, "Yes."
The doctor and nurses slowly exited the room, and the subordinate cast a pleading glance at Christine.
Christine still gazed deeply at Skyler, pleading, "Please don’t do this, there’s always a turn for the better..."
Skyler closed his eyes again, coldly saying, "Get out!!"
Facing Skyler’s indifference, Christine’s heart felt even more painful.
The subordinate advised, "Madam President, you’d better leave first... Let the president be alone for a while."
Christine finally had no choice but to straighten up, turn around, and slowly walk out with heavy steps.
Outside the hospital room, Jonathon Gibson supported the disheartened Christine.
"How is it?"
Christine looked up at Jonathon, shook her head.
Jonathon noticed Christine’s slightly reddened eyes, he widened his eyes and said, "Is it really as serious as the doctor said?"
Christine bit her lip and nodded.
Jonathon stood there in shock, still unable to believe this reality.
Christine asked, "Where’s Marie?"
