Chapter 260
The Contract Marriage
âNo! Because during the period when Julian was blind, your fatherâs workload had increased a lot. Last night, for some reason, he fainted in the bathroom. He was then sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. Although his life was no longer in danger, he is still in the ICU. . .â
Christian frowned. He immediately looked at his mother-in-law and asked nervously, âWhere is my father now?â
âHeâs still in the ICU.â Samantha told him the location of the ICU.
âMom, Sarah, Iâll go and take a look first!â Christian heard her and quickly walked to the door.
Samantha chased to the door and said, âDonât be too anxious. Aunt Daphne and Julian just went back to the villa. â
âMom, I know.â Christian said as he quickly ran to the elevator.
Christian never thought that during the time he left, something so big was going to happen at home.
He, who had just become a father, had yet to recover from the joy of seeing his daughter, when he heard such a shocking news. His heart was gripped tightly.
Christian took the elevator to the ICU and quickly went through the glass window. Sure enough, he saw his father lying quietly inside with all kinds of instruments around him.
âDad. . . Whatâs wrong?â When he looked at his father in the ICU, Christianâs eyes turned red instantly.
He raised his hand and smashed it on the wall beside him.
His heart felt like it was pressed by a huge rock. He was so heavy that he could not breathe.
His heart was being torn apart time and time again. However, no matter how painful and uncomfortable his heart was, he knew that now was not the time to be sad.
Christian looked at his father through the glass for a long time before he turned around to look for a doctor.
The attending physician was also on this floor. Christian easily found the doctor under the guidance of the nurse. He walked into the doctorâs office and asked about his fatherâs condition in detail.
Christian learned for the doctor that his father had been too tired from work during this period of time, and that he also had a history of cerebral hemorrhage. So this time, the illness was not only a sudden heart attack, but it also triggered his previous cerebral hemorrhage. So the condition was very serious.
âIf your father did not come in time this time, we might not have been able to do anything. Fortunately, he was ill for a short period of time and was sent to the hospital as soon as he got the attack. Thatâs why his life was saved. However, whether or not he can wake up now is still unknown.â
The attending physician shook his head helplessly at the end of his sentence.
âThen tell me the worst result. . .â Christian frowned and asked.
âIf he canât wake up, he will probably be in a coma until the day he leaves the world. . .â
âThen how can I wake my dad up?â
âThat depends on his own survival desire. Our doctors have tried their best. Letâs take a look at his body condition in two days. It would be best if he could come out of the ICU. Donât be discouraged, either. Last night was so dangerous, but your father was able to survive it. That means that his desire to live is very strong. Maybe a miracle will happen!â
âThank you, doctor!â
Christian asked all about his fatherâs illness before he left the attending physicianâs office. He went back to the ICU and looked at his father.
Looking at his father, who was lying like a lifeless person in the sick bed, Christian felt his throat tightened. But no matter how sad he was now, he couldnât show it on the surface because he knew that his family needed him now.
Although, he was reluctant, Christian still left the ICU and left the hospital with heavy steps.
About Julianâs blindness, he had heard about it from his father more than a month ago, but he never would have thought that. . . At this moment, his father fell ill once again. Moreover, his illness was life threatening and it was more serious than any other time!
After Christian left the hospital, he hailed a taxi and went back to Villa of Cooper Family. When he walked into the living room of the villa, other than the maids, he didnât see anyone else in the living room.
When Lea saw that Christian had returned, she immediately greeted him nervously.
âYoung Master, youâre back!â
âWhereâs Aunt Daphne?â Christian asked slowly.
âSheâs in the room. I heard her crying just now. I knew she was in a bad mood, so I didnât dare to go.â
Christian nodded and quickly walked to the bedroom on the first floor. When he walked to the door, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. However, he didnât receive any response from the people inside.
After waiting for a while, Christian heard a weak sound from inside.
When he heard the sound, without thinking anything, he immediately pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the door, Christian saw Daphne sitting by the bed, holding his fatherâs photo frame and silently crying. Christian immediately walked over.
âAunt Daphne. . .â
Daphne only looked up when she heard Christianâs voice. Tears fell from her eyes. âChristian, you are finally back. Your father, he. . .â
Christian walked to the bedside and sat down. âAunt Daphne, I just came back from the hospital. I know everything about my father. You have suffered a lot during this period of time.â
Daphne shook her head as she wept. âIt is not a big deal for me to suffer, as long as your father is fine.
. . Christian, during the time you werenât around, our family. . .â
Before she could finish her sentence, Daphne raised her hand to cover her mouth and started crying.
Because of her sonâs blindness during this period of time, she had already broken her heart. But she did not expect that her sonâs matter hadnât even solved yet and this kind of thing happened to her husband again.
Daphne was already on the verge of breaking down. She really couldnât hold on any longer.
âAunt Daphne, my dad will definitely make it through. Donât be too sad. You stayed up all night last night. I will take care of the family and hospital matters. You should take a good rest first. Donât tire yourself out, okay?â
Daphne heard his words and nodded while crying. âOkay. . .â
Now that Christian came back, there was finally someone to support the family. Daphneâs heart suddenly seemed to have someone to rely on.
Christian heard what Daphne said and stood up. He looked at her lying on the bed, reached out and covered her with the blanket. He watched her close her eyes. Then he slowly walked out of the room and reached out to gently close the door.
After coming out of Daphneâs room, Christian first went to take a look at grandpa. Although Old Master Cooper was old, he was still fit and fine. However, at this time, the old man was especially sad due to Ethanâs matter.
Christian consoled Benjamin and chatted with him for a while. After convincing the old man to take some rest, Christian went upstairs to find Julian.
Christian found Julian bedroom and knocked on the door. However, there was no sound inside, but the door of the other bedroom opened.
Christian looked over in surprise and saw a strange girl coming out of the room. He frowned slightly.
âWho are you?â
âYou are the Young Master, right? I am Ruby, and I am here to take care of the Second Young Master. .
.â Ruby saw Christianâs sharp gaze and immediately lowered her head slightly, answering with a slightly red face.
âWhere is Julian?â Christian asked directly.
âIn. . . In the room. . .â Ruby answered nervously.
Christian looked at her silently and walked into the guest room next door. When he opened the door, he saw Julian sitting by the bed. The quilt on the bed had not been folded and it looked like he was resting just now.
Christian walked over in confusion. Seeing his brother looking at his direction with a blank face, his heart tightened again.
âBig Brother, are you back?â When Christian spoke at the door just now, Julian knew that it was his Big Brother who had come back.
âYes! I just came back this morning. Why are you resting here? Whereâs Vivian?â Because he came back in a hurry, no one had told him about Vivianâs delivery.
âLast night when her father was in trouble, she stepped on the empty stairs. So last night, she also went to the hospital. Just like Sarah, she had just given birth.â
âShe also gave birth?â Christian was more or less surprised. He did not expect that Vivian would also give birth at the same time as Sarah.
âYes. Big Brother, have you gone to see Dad?â
âYes, I just came back from the hospital. When I came, I only thought Sarah had a child. I didnât expect that Dad also had an accident. . .â
Julian self-reproached himself and sighed. âSigh, itâs all because of my eyes. If my eyes were fine, Dad wouldnât be so tired every day. Itâs all my fault. In the past, when my eyes were good, I always didnât improve. Now, I want to share some of my fatherâs burden, but my eyes canât see anymore. . .â
When Christian heard Julianâs words, he felt that Julian had changed a little from before. He raised his hand and patted his shoulder. âDonât think too much. Dad will be fine! China is so big. We will always find suitable cornea. Donât blame yourself too much. Since you canât see with your eyes now, treat it as if God has given you a chance to think about your life. When you see the light again in the future, do more proper business. Even if Dadâs body recovered, he would still be old. In the future, I still need to rely on you for the companyâs matters!â
Julian nodded. âBig Brother, you are right! I will think about it carefully. I have wasted all my time in the past. At that time, I always felt that with my father around, even if something happened in the company.
. . I have my father to take care of it. During this period of time, Iâve thought about a lot. No matter whether or not I will see the light in the future, I have already thought about it just now. Today, I will take a rest. Iâll go to work tomorrow, even if I canât see it. I still have ears!â
Julian couldnât see with his eyes all of a sudden. At least, during this period of time. . . For the first time, he began to think about his life and the things he had done in the past. He would often feel ashamed.
Fortunately, there was still a long way to go in his life, and he still had time to correct it.
When Christian heard his younger brotherâs words, he felt gratified from the bottom of his heart. He nodded. âI havenât seen you for a while, and youâve finally grown up. Although we were married in the past, sometimes you do things like a child. But can you really go to work at the company?â
Hearing Julian words, Christian was still a little worried. One had to know that if one could not see with his eyes, many things were limited.
âBig Brother, donât worry. When Dad was not sick, I had already gone to the company to work for a period of time. Although Ruby is not a university student, she is very careful. She would record everything that everyone says. She will remind me of everything that I canât remember. As long as she is there, I can handle a lot of things.â
Although Ruby did not have a college degree and had never entered the university campus, she was a very careful girl. She wrote down everything that would happen in a book. Every night, she helped Julian sort out everything that happened in the company.
During this period of time, Julian had already handled the documents in the company very skillfully.
