Chapter 246
The Contract Marriage
âMom, donât worry. Iâve thought it through. Even if my son isnât my biological son, think about it. I raised him up with one hand. And as long as you donât say it and I wonât say it, who can find out? And about the daughter you mentioned. . . That would be even easier.â
âWhen the child was born, we would definitely know which family she went into. When she grew a little bigger, wonât it be fine if we steal her back? Anyway, what does she know in a few monthsâ worth of life?â
Regarding the matter of her daughter, Vivian had already thought about it beforehand. When her daughter was a few months old, as long as she spent some money to find someone to steal the child back, she would not lose her daughter. It would be perfect if she could also get a son.
Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and sighed heavily. âYes, yes, yes! But if this kind of thing is really done. . . Then it will be karma. . .â
âBut if we donât do it, your daughter will probably be chased out of the Cooper Family. . . At that time, our family will have to live the bitter life we used to have. . .â
âBut didnât Julian give you some money? That money is enough. We have been spending our whole lives, what do you think you need to worry about?â Mrs. Holmes still could not bear to see this happen.
âThat money has already been paid back to Lucas for his gambling debts. How could I still have money? I donât even have a thousand pocket money with me right now, Mom. . .â
Mrs. Holmes shook her head helplessly. âYou really want to do it?â
âIt wasnât easy for me to marry into the Cooper Family, so I have to let our family live a good life. I canât be chased out by the people of the Cooper Family just like that. Itâs not like you havenât seen that mother-in-law of mine before. Putting aside her power and influence, if I were to give birth to a daughter, I have already told the people of Cooper Family that I am carrying a son. If I give birth to a girl at that time, what do you think the people of Cooper Family will think of me?â
âThings have already come to this point. I have no way out, and I canât retreat either! I have had enough of the suffering I had in the past. I donât want to go back, Mom. With our familyâs situation, my brother still needs to go to university. When he has to buy a house when he wants to work in the future, what can you buy for him? Itâs so hard to find a job now. Are you going to watch him go out and work for him?â
âSigh. . . Then. . . Letâs do as you say. . .â Mrs. Holmes heard her daughterâs words and finally moved her heart. She helplessly sighed and then nodded.
âThatâs great Mom, I knew you would not disagree to help me.â
That night, Lucas sent Julian home and rushed back. Because Vivianâs mother specially called him over for dinner, he went to Vivianâs house after work.
After dinner, Vivian reminded her mother that she wanted to talk to Lucas alone, so Mrs. Holmes brought Vivianâs father back to the bedroom to rest.
When she saw her father leave, Vivian held Lucasâs hand and entered her room, then quickly closed the door.
âVivian, did something happen again?â Seeing Vivianâs nervous look, Lucas also felt a little nervous.
âLet me tell you something!â
âOkay! What is it?â
âYou donât have to look for pregnant women anymore!â
âI found her.â
âWho is it? Where did you find it?â
âI received a call from Greta today. She said that she asked a doctor from Municipal Hospital to do a BT scan on Sarah Wilson. She specifically looked at the child in her womb and found that she was carrying a boy!â
âBut what does the boy she is carrying have to do with us? Donât tell me. . . You want to exchange it with her?â Lucasâs words shocked even himself.
âYes! I want to change with her! Isnât she happy for not dying now? Iâll let her be happy to the end!â
âAre you joking with me? â Lucas looked at Vivian in disbelief.
âAre you kidding me? I have already told Greta today that she will help me.â
âBut this kind of thing is too mysterious. Do you think it is possible?â Lucas asked, half-doubting. He felt that this matter was not reliable at all.
âThat Greta has promised me that she can help me settle the matter in the hospital, but the matter of Cooper Family needs to be settled by me. . .â
âHow will you resolve it? No matter what, Sarah giving birth to a child was a big matter for Cooper Family. Christian will definitely take a leave of absence to take care of Sarah and the people of Cooper Family will also be there. When that time comes, how can you change under the watchful eyes of so many people? â
âThatâs why I asked you to help me think of a way. Help me think about it. The day when Sarah and I gave birth, how could I attract all the people of the Cooper Family away? Including Christian!â
âAttract all of them? Let me think. . .â Lucas frowned and thought for a while. In the end, he shook his head. âVivian, I think you should give up. If you want to attract all the people of Cooper Family away, you have to do it unless something big happens in Cooper Family. That way, everyone will be lured away! But how is that possible?â
âWait a minute! What do you mean something big happens in Cooper family?â Vivian interrupted him.
âIsnât it simple? Unless someone from the Cooper Family dies. . .â Lucas covered his mouth after saying a word. He didnât dare to continue. His scalp felt numb.
Vivian heard Lucasâs words and her eyes lit up!
Lucas looked at Vivianâs expression and broke out in cold sweat. âVivian, let me tell you, we canât kill people even if we beat them to death!â
Vivian looked at him angrily. âLook at you. Do you think Iâm a murderous devil? If they find out who killed him, it would be a dead end. Iâm not that stupid.â
âThen just now. . .â Lucas heard her words and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
âI want to. . .â Vivian looked at the nervous Lucas and then waved her hand. âForget it, I will think about it carefully. . .â
Knowing that Lucas was timid, Vivian did not continue to talk to him.
Lucas sat in Vivianâs bedroom for a while and left. Before he left, he kept reminding Vivian not to have any ideas about killing people.
Vivian waved her hand and told him that she would not do it. After getting Vivianâs affirmative answer, Lucas left Vivianâs home nervously.
Once Lucas left, Vivian returned to her bedroom and took out her phone to find Gretaâs number. She dialed it.
Greta was not surprised to receive a call from Vivian at this time. The two of them had gotten familiar with each other recently and knew that she must be looking for her help. She went straight to the point and asked, âWhat is it that you are looking for me for?â
âIs there a medicine in your hospital that can cause a heart attack to relapse?â
âWhat do you mean?â
âTell me if you have it.â
âThere is a similar. . . â
âThatâs good!â
This night, Vivian still did not return to Villa of Cooper Family.
After having a taste of the sweetness, Julian returned to his study after dinner. He called Ruby in, saying that he wanted her to help him drip an eye potion.
Although Ruby was unwilling, her status as a servant made it impossible for her to refuse. When Ruby walked into the study, she saw Julian sitting in a leather chair. Julian raised his hand and gently rubbed the space between his eyebrows. She did not know if there was really something wrong with his eyes.
âYoung Master. . .â
âOh, Ruby, quickly come over!â Julian opened his eyes and smiled as he gestured to her to come to his side.
Ruby slightly pursed her lower lip and walked to his side nervously. She picked up the eye potion on the table and prepared to drip it on his eyes.
As soon as Ruby walked to his side, Julian reached out and wrapped her in his arms. His big hand reached into her clothes and touched her smooth skin. His heart was somewhat moved.
âWhich eye of yours is not comfortable?â Ruby held the eye potion and asked him.
âBoth of your eyes are not comfortable today. I donât know what is going on. Give me some drops. . .â
He didnât know whatâs going on during this period of time, but in the past, it was just one eye that had some problems. Now, he couldnât see both eyes clearly.
Ruby listened to him and dripped the eye potion in both eyes for him. She then put away the eye potion and prepared to leave.
However, Julian hugged her tightly and did not let her go. Ruby could only look down at him, âYoung Master. . .â
Julian closed his eyes and picked up her hand to kiss her. âOkay, you go back first. I will find you in a while. . .â
Ruby bit her lips and did not say anything.
âDonât close the door, do you hear me?â Hearing that she did not respond to him, Julian hugged her again.
Ruby was silent for a moment, and after a long while, she nodded her head, âYes. . .â
After hearing her reply, Julian let go of her body. âLetâs go back first.â
Ruby left quickly with a red face.
Julian closed his eyes and laid down for a while. He felt much more comfortable with his eyes. Only then did he open his eyes and take the documents that he brought back today to review.
Around ten oâclock in the evening, Julian walked into Rubyâs room. When he walked to the door, he reached out and twisted the door handle.
That girl was indeed obedient. The door was not locked.
Julian walked in happily and turned on the light to take a look. He found that Ruby had already fallen asleep on the bed. He immediately turned off the light and walked over. He quickly got under Rubyâs blanket.
âYoung Master, I am not feeling well. . .â Ruby just lied on the bed and did not sleep at all. Julian was too crazy last night. Her body was still in pain from the addiction.
Julian quickly took off his clothes. In fact, he knew that she had just experienced the relationship between a man and a woman and her body was definitely not used to it. But he really felt stifled and uncomfortable. He turned over and pressed on her body and looked at her and begged her a little.
âRuby, just once, okay? I really miss you too much. . .â
Ruby listened to what he said and helplessly closed her eyes.
Seeing that she did not insist, Julian lowered his head and kissed her hard.
Although Jasmine looked for Private Detective, in a monthâs time, she did not find anything suspicious about Felix.
The accident had been settled just like that, but Jasmine did not give up. She gave Private Detective one yearâs time. She did not believe that in this one yearâs time, Felix would not have any flaws.
Under the doctorâs treatment and motherâs meticulous care, Sarahâs injuries also slowly recovered a lot. But her arm was fractured. Hence, she had to recover slower no matter what.
In a monthâs time, Christian had also called her every day. He would ask her about her situation and tell her about the interesting things that happened in his army. He wanted to make her happy.
