Chapter 140
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 140 Return Home Sarah learned from Christian that David didnât listen to him and insisted on following Mila. She felt deeply guilty towards David. Because no matter what he said. . . David still insisted on his choice.
Facing such an outcome, Sarahâs heart was in great pain. She didnât want her Mr. David to ruin his life and his happiness like this. But he didnât listen to anyone!
What worried her the most was. . . Every time she saw Mr. David, the alcohol in his body would become stronger and stronger. It got heavier and heavier each time.
In her impression, Mr. David was never drunk.
Seeing him continue to be depressed like this, Sarahâs guilt towards him also became deeper and deeper.
Whether it was pain, happiness, life, or. . . Day by day.
Ever since Vivian slit her wrist and committed suicide, Daphne and Julian were afraid that something big would happen if they forced her into a corner. So they did not dare to say anything more extreme to Vivian.
Anyway, there was no child left. Even if they found out the truth, that child had already left the world.
After that incident, Vivian had regained her former glory in the Cooper Family. Because Daphne had to take care of Christianâs illness, she was too lazy to think about it with her.
Ethan was recovering better and better under the care of his family. In less than a monthâs time, he could already walk on the ground, and his body could also do some exercises. Of course, the one who contributed the most was his eldest son, Christian.
Today was the twenty-second day of Ethanâs hospitalization. His body recovered quickly and various indicators were also very good. So the doctor allowed him to leave the hospital in advance.
Therefore, today was the day Ethan was discharged from the hospital.
More than twenty days ago, when Ethan got sick, coupled with the fact that Vivian had a miscarriage, Cooper Family had always been immersed in a depressing atmosphere. Today, when they found out that Ethan had returned home, everyone in the family was very happy.
Christian woke up early in the morning and shaved his fatherâs beard. He then washed his face and hands. He helped him change into clean clothes. In the morning, the doctor and the nurse came to perform the last comprehensive examination. Then they left, Daphne let the servants tidy up the things in the room and saw that her husband had also put on his clothes. She prepared to take her husband away.
Ethan saw that everything had been tidied up and was about to stand up with his hands on the bedside table. He could now move on his own, even though he was still a little slow when walking. But he really wanted to leave this place. To stay in this ward for more than twenty days, he was in more pain than anyone else.
Daphne walked over and supported her husbandâs arm, wanting to take him away. Just as she walked over, she was stopped by Christian.
âDad, wait a moment. I have something to tell you.â Christian helped his father sit down. Now that his father was going home, Vivianâs miscarriage could no longer be hidden. So before his father left, he had to tell about this beforehand.
Ethan nodded slightly. âOkay. . .â
âChristian. . .â Daphne, who was at the side, was more or less nervous. She was worried that her husband would not be able to withstand such a blow and his body collapsed again.
Christian looked at his stepmother and nodded slightly. He was silent for a moment before he looked at his father and asked slowly, âDad, do you know why Vivian did not come to see you during the twenty days you were hospitalized?â
âShe is pregnant. . . â
Christian shook his head. âDad, actually, it was on the morning of the second day of your illness. She accidentally fell down the stairs and had a miscarriage. Because we were afraid of agitating you, we didnât dare to tell you the truth. You are the chairman of the Cooper Group. Even if you are sick right now, I know that you are more open-minded than most people. This is an accident, donât be too sad.
Okay?â
Christian knew that his father was old and had a deep desire for his grandson. Without the child, it was impossible for him not to feel uncomfortable. So he tried to lower his voice as much as possible. He was afraid that something would happen to his fatherâs body because of this.
Ethan listened to his son and was silent for a while. After a while, he looked at his son and nodded slightly. âI know. . . â
âThen you have to promise me that you will not think too much about this matter. . . â
Ethan nodded again.
âOkay! We will be discharged from the hospital now and go home. Grandpa woke up around six oâclock this morning. He was waiting for you to come home. . .â Christian joked with his father.
Ethan smiled slightly. Daphne walked over and helped her husband out of the ward. She then went out of the clinic building of the hospital and sat in the car of Cooper Family back to Villa of Cooper Family.
The car drove for about half an hour and finally stopped in Villa of Cooper Family. Before the car stopped, Benjamin walked out with a crutch. The twenty days of his son being hospitalized was also a kind of torture for him. He watched as Christian got out of the car quickly and helped Ethan get out of the car and walked over step by step.
âDad. . .â Ethan looked at his father and called out softly.
Benjamin looked at his son and nodded his head in excitement. âGood! Good! Itâs good that you are home! Quickly come in!â
Benjamin turned around and excitedly entered the villa. Christian helped Ethan into the living room.
Because Ethanâs body was not convenient to go upstairs, after he was discharged from the hospital, Christian had already asked Daphne to move his and Sarahâs rooms to the second floor and let his parents stay on the first floor. S Ethan entered the living room. Christian helped his father into the room and helped him sit at the head of the bed. Benjamin immediately followed him in, sat beside his sonâs bed and started to chat with him.
Vivian heard about Ethanâs return upstairs. She immediately ran into the room to greet him. When Ethan saw her flat stomach, he did not show any excitement. This made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Ethan returned home so Christian didnât have to worry about no one taking care of him anymore. So when it was almost noon, he drove to Sarahâs company and wanted to have lunch with her.
Since the last time he ate her at his mother-in-lawâs house, the two of them had never been together again. So many days had passed. Christian really missed her.
He parked the car in the square in front of Wilson Group and took out his phone to call Sarah. Then he got out of the car and stood by the car, waiting for her to get off work.
A red Chevrolet turned into the square in front of Wilson Group. It passed Christianâs car and stopped near the entrance of Wilson Group. The door of the car was quickly opened. Then, a woman wearing a fashionable coffee windbreaker, black jeans and high heels, got off the car. She was wearing a pair of brown sunglasses. She was holding a fashionable bag as she walked towards the entrance of the Wilson Groupâs lobby.
Sarah happily packed her things the moment she received Christianâs call. Just as she was about to greet Syrus, she bumped into Cyrus and Jasmine, who were walking out of the office together. They were going to have lunch.
When Cyrus heard that she was going to have lunch, he asked Sarah to take the CEOâs elevator downstairs with him. The three of them entered the elevator.
Jasmine looked at Sarah beside her and was somewhat curious about her husband.
âWhy did you get married so early?â
âUm. . .â Sarah did not know how to answer this question for a moment and answered in a low voice.
âSister, look at her. She got married at the age of twenty-four. You are a few years older than Sarah.
Shouldnât you consider your own lifeâs big matter?â Syrus took the opportunity to think about his second sister.
Jasmine raised her eyebrows. âI told you that I would not marry before you get married!â
âHow can you say that?â Syrus looked at his sister helplessly. âIf you really wait until I get married and find a boyfriend, all the good men will be taken away by others. Who are you looking for?â
âHuh! If I canât get married, then Iâll follow you for the rest of my life.â Regarding the issue of her marriage, no one was able to persuade Jasmine.
Syrus raised his hand to support his forehead speechlessly. âSister, itâs not likely that you will get married. So will you follow me to affect the happiness of my life?â
Sarah heard what the siblings said and could not help but laugh.
âAre you looking for a beating?â Jasmine directly glared at her brother.
âOkay, okay, okay! I wonât say anymore. If you donât get married in the future, Iâll feed you!â Jasmine really couldnât do anything to this elder sister, and he directly announced his surrender.
Jasmine heard her brotherâs words and glared at him again. âAm I that bad?â
The corners of Jasmineâs eyes twitched. âSecond sister, you are the best. There is no need for me to feed her!â
Jasmine could not help but laugh when she saw her brotherâs expression.
The elevator quickly stopped at the first floor. Sarah followed the two out of the elevator. They walked towards the companyâs lobby door.
Before she could walk over, she saw Milaâs figure. Sarah did not know what Mila was holding in her hand, but it looked like she was waiting for someone.
Sarah bit her lower lip. She was a little nervous about what had happened to Mr. David and wanted to walk over and ask her. But Jasmine, who was walking in front, was the first to speak.
âYo! Isnât this the beauty with more than ten layers of powder on her face? Which wind blew you to the entrance of our company today?â
Jasmineâs character was to take revenge when there was a grudge, and repay when there was a debt of gratitude. When she saw Milaâs face again, she immediately walked in front of Mila and crossed her arms as she looked at her. Her aura was originally not an ordinary. In addition to her family background and her status as the vice president of the company, her tone and expression always gave people an overbearing feeling.
Mila also did not expect that when she came to deliver an invitation, she would actually meet Jasmine again. After hearing her talk about her company, she remembered her identity. But thinking about it, she was not an employee under her. So she didnât need to be afraid of her.
Mila straightened his neck and replied with a proud attitude, âI heard that the Wilson Group is very powerful in the past, but now it seems like itâs only so-so. If the quality of a vice president is like this, then the employees of the company probably donât have any good people either!â
Jasmine heard her words and her beautiful eyebrows twisted. Without thinking, she directly took a step forward and raised her hand to slap Mila loudly!
