Chapter 779: Chapter 779 Help Me Take Care Of Him

That night, Tina did not return to the ward. She followed the nurse to every other ward for an entire night to learn how to take care of patients.

When Christopher woke up the next day, he saw a glass of warm water on his bedside table.

“I’ll help you wash up first, then you can drink this glass of warm water.”

Christopher looked at Tina curiously, just to see her walking away swiftly, then only did he mumble a response.

Once that was done, she went to get him breakfast.

“I bought these from the Vigilant Vegan Restaurant; here’s your favourite red bean porridge, and there’s tofu jelly. Have a taste.”

Christopher frowned and asked, “Vigilant Vegan Restaurant is so far from here. When did you go there?”

“It didn’t take too long, I just took a cab!”

He didn’t believe her. Looking up, he saw the dark circles around her eyes, and his brows instantly furrowed.

“Did you not rest last night? And where did you learn all these things from?”

Tina’s face filled with dissatisfaction as she returned, “I’m not stupid, is there something that I can’t learn if I put my mind into it? Alright, let’s not talk about this. Do you want to eat, or not?”

Christopher nodded, “I’ll eat!”

Upon hearing this, Tina finally smiled, “That’s more like it. Have this porridge.”

“You take a seat too, let’s eat together.”

Tina nodded. She had made up her mind. Since Christopher would rather pretend that he couldn’t have kids for her sake, she couldn’t just leave him.

She would stay by his side for the rest of her life to make it up to him.

Christopher could clearly sense that Tina’s mood was getting better and better. The burden in his heart felt like it was finally being lifted.

On the third day in the afternoon, Christopher and Tina watched TV after dinner.

The door of the ward was pushed open from outside, and Anthony walked in with a smile.

“Christopher, why didn’t you tell me about this huge incident?”

Christopher frowned as he replied, “Get out, I don’t want to see you.”

Anthony instantly started clicking his tongue, “You’re in this state, and yet you still have the audacity to act cocky in front of me. I’ve found out about everything. I had been wondering, why did you suddenly leave the Gellert family without saying anything? Was it because you knew that you had no hopes of gaining the inheritance? That’s true, you’re infertile, so what inheritance could you even hope to get? Even if you die in the future, no one would be able to inherit it from you!”

Rage welled up within Tina. She glared fiercely at Anthony.

“Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Tina, why should I? The both of you have been married for a few years already, right? Where’s your child though?”

Tina’s heart throbbed, causing Anthony to gloat again.

“Sorry, Christopher, my wife is pregnant. However, you don’t have to worry about the company. After all, your elder brother, I, will be in charge of the company in the future. After you get well, I won’t mistreat you. There’s still an old mansion in the south; it’s yours, I won’t fight with you for that. I’ll also give you one percent of the company’s shares. In the future, you can bring Tina on a vacation anywhere; all you have to do is take your dividend every year!”

As Tina listened to him, the angrier she felt.

“You’re not the one who has brought the Gellert family’s business to its success today. Christopher has contributed so much, so what gives you the right to plan his future? Why would he agree to your plans?”

“What right do I have?” Anthony smiled brightly.

“The right that I have as the head of the Gellert family, and that my wife is going to give birth to the family’s first grandson! If you’re not happy about this, then have your own child too! Oh, I forgot, Christopher can’t…”

Anthony’s smile widened. Out of nowhere, Tina mustered her strength, suddenly grabbed an ashtray beside her and smashed it down on Anthony’s head.

“Nonsense!”

Anthony was shocked. After all, Tina had always been as pure and innocent as a lamb.

She usually did not even speak loudly at home, and yet here she was, suddenly grabbing an item to hit someone.

Anthony could not dodge her attack in time, and he took a direct hit. When Tina tried to hit him a second time, Anthony had already scrambled out of the door on all fours.

“Lunatics! You’re all lunatics!” he stood at the door and swore. When he met with the couple’s eyes, he freaked out and turned to run again.

After he was long gone, Christopher then turned and looked anxiously at Tina.

She was still livid. Her small face was full of rage, and her chest was heaving up and down due to her anger.

“Tina!” Christopher called out to her, “What’s wrong? Why do you bother being angry with someone like him?”

She did not reply. Her hand, which was still holding onto the ashtray, was trembling.

Christopher thought that she had an injury, and immediately struggled to get up. He hugged her from behind and asked, “Tina, what’s wrong?”

The next moment, he saw streaks of tears on her face.

“You’re crying? What is there to cry about because of Anthony? Silly girl!”

Christopher was both angry and amused. He patted her on the back as he comforted her, “Alright, alright, stop crying. Don’t you know that it’s not worthwhile to cry for someone like that?”

Tina shook her head, “I’m sorry.”

Christopher thought that she was apologizing for hitting Anthony just now. He quickly responded, “Don’t be sorry, I thought you looked so cool just now! You’re definitely the Tina whom I love.”

Tina’s sobs grew even louder.

…

The next day, when Christopher woke up, Tina had already returned with a few invoices.

“I’ve asked the doctor. He said that your condition has stabilized, so I went ahead to arrange for your discharge.”

Christopher nodded in agreement.

After all, he did not like to stay like this in the hospital.

However…

When he thought of Anthony’s words, it occurred to him that it seemed like there was no place for them anymore in the Gellert Mellert. Thankfully, he had already bought a property when he first came out on his own.

“Shall we go to my apartment?”

“No!” Tina immediately replied, “Let’s not go to the apartment. Isn’t Eudora still in the mountains? She must be tired, caring for two kids all alone. So, let’s keep her company up there! We’ll also give you time to recuperate.”

After all, Christopher had a lot of free time on his hands. As long as Tina wanted to do so, he was definitely okay with it.

Hence, under Charlie’s arrangement, the both of them went up the mountains.

As usual, Eudora gave them the room which they had previously been staying in. After all, since someone was willing to be here in the mountains to accompany her, she was quite happy.

In the morning, after playing with the children as usual, Eudora came back and got ready to prepare lunch.

Tina stopped her in a hurry, “Eudora, I’ll do it!”

“When did you learn how to cook?” Eudora asked curiously.

“I’ve just learnt it. Let me try!”

Christopher had watched her mention multiple times that she wanted to cook. He did not want to dampen her passion for it so he chimed in and said, “Let her cook!”

“Alright, but you have to be careful with my kitchen!”

“I’ll go help,” Christopher said with a smile.

Tina immediately waved her hand, “There’s no need, no need at all.” Turning around, she distractedly looked at Eudora.

She asked, “Eudora, could you help me take care of Christopher?”
