Chapter 64
The Contract Marriage
Chapter 64 On the Verge of Breaking Down âOkay!â Hearing her words, Gretaâs heart filled with endless hope.
Sarah quickly returned home. Along the way, she was a little worried. If Christian did not see her after walking up, would he be furious again?
The moment she opened the door, she saw Christian struggling to support the crutches. He was moving forward step by step in the living room. That hard face had a deep sense of determination.
Sarah immediately ran over nervously and reached out to help him.
âGo away!â Christian did not even think and pushed her to the side. However, as soon as his hand left the crutch, his body fell to the side uncontrollably. He fell to the ground with a bang.
Hearing that muffled sound, Sarahâs heart suddenly tightened. She hurriedly ran to his side and squatted down to help him stand up.
âGet lost!â Christian propped himself up with one hand on the ground. Seeing Sarah wanted to help him, he stretched his hand and pushed her on to the ground. He stubbornly took the crutch and wanted to stand up again.
Hearing his angry words, Sarah looked at him with self-blame. She wanted to say something but gave up in the end.
Christian held the crutch and tried to stand up, but he did not have any strength in his leg. He could not stand up at all. He used all his strength in his arms, but just as he lifted up his crutch, it slipped out. He fell on the floor again!
Sarah did not care what kind of attitude he had towards her. She ran over and stubbornly supported him to stand up.
âI told you to get lost, but you didnât hear me, did you?â Christian shouted at her with a red face.
Sarah was shocked, but she still did not let go of his arm. She still tried to help him up.
Christian saw that she did not listen to her at all. He reached out his hand and pushed her away again.
Sarah sat down on the floor and looked at the stubborn Christian.
Tears of grievance flowed out her eyes.
âI am not dead yet. Even if I die, it is not your turn to cry! If you want to cry, stay away from me!â
Christianâs anger today was not ordinary. He was completely different from the previous person!
After he shouted at Sarah, Christianâs face turned vivid. He once again took the crutch and tried to stand up, but his efforts were all in vain. He fell in front of Sarah again and again. After more than ten tries, he sat on the floor panting a little. He stared at his leg. He was on the verge of breaking down.
He suddenly picked up the crutch on the ground and threw it at his calves!
âNo!â Seeing that the crutch was about to hit his calf, Sarah threw herself at him without caring about anything!
The crutch hit her back heavily and made a dull sound. A piercing pain instantly came from her back.
Her tears could no longer stop rolling down!
Sarah lay on his legs and started crying.
Christian looked at her silently, his face ashen.
word!
âIâm sorry. I was wrong. Your legs are just a little better. Itâs all my fault.â Sarah tears kept flowing. Her tears wet his pants and hurt his heart.
âThis is not your fault. Itâs all my faultâ¦â Christian said lightly.
Sarah propped herself up on the floor and shook her head as she looked at him with tearful eyes.
âNo! Donât say that! I shouldnât have said that kind of thing! Your legs are not convenient to begin with. I still need you to keep a distance from me. Sorry, I really didnât think that much. You can be angry with me, but you canât do this to yourselfâ¦â
Sarah said as she could not stop her tears from flowing. When she thought of the moment when he raised his crutch, she regretted it to the extreme.
To say such words to a person whose body could not take care of itself, she really deserved to die!
holding her hand once?
Could it be that that feeling was even more painful than what he was feeling right now? Sarah Wilson, your actions are too inappropriate!
Christian looked at her silently. After a moment, he picked up the crutch on the ground and said slowly, âHelp me upâ¦â
Sarah immediately sniffed and stood up from the ground. The moment she stood up, there was still her back. She squatted down again and used her strength to help him up from the ground.
bedroom to restâ¦â
âOkay!â Sarah nodded and immediately helped him into the bedroom and let him lie down on the bed.
âCan you come up and accompany me?â Christian looked at her with a calm expression and said slowly.
âOkay!â Sarah did not refuse. She went around to the other side of the bed and quietly lied beside him.
Her eyes were a little red and swollen. He reached out his hand and gently wiped the corner of her eyes. After a while, he said. âSarah, I am sorry!â
Sarah immediately shook her head and looked at him. She forced a smile. âThe one who should be sorry should be me! It was I who ignored your feelings! I should not have said those words to you!â
She truly regretted it. Seeing him torture himself so much, for the first time, she felt that she was too petty.
was deeply blaming herself.
Fortunately, that crutch did not hit his leg.
that okay?â
Sarah lightly blinked her eyes, moved her body to his side, and leaned into his embrace. His arms slowly reached over and caressed the place where she had just been hit. âIâm sorryâ¦â
She smiled. âIâm fine. I know you did not do it on purpose.â
Although her back was burning with pain, her heart had already relaxed. If he couldnât stand up for the rest of his life because of this crutch, then she would rather he hit her. She also didnât want to bear the burden of thinking for the rest of her life.
âCan I take a look?â He gently pushed her away and asked her slowly.
âForget it. Iâm really fine. Donât worry!â She gave him a comforting smile. She didnât want him to see it.
Firstly, it was because of the awkward relationship between the two of them. Secondly, she didnât want him to have any mental pressure.
âThen when I recover, you hit me once too!â He listened to her words and pulled her into his arms again. He felt an unspeakable guilt in his heart.
âThatâs what you said! Youâre not allowed to go back on your word!â She leaned into his arms and smiled mischievously.
back on my word!â
Sarah leaned in Christianâs arms. She originally wanted to return to her seat in a while, but lying down, her sleepiness kept hitting her. In the end, she actually fell into a deep sleep.
When Sarah woke up, it was already past five oâ clock. This time, she slept for a long time. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was still in Christianâs arms. At this time, he had already woken up and was staring at her small face. When she saw his bottomless eyes, Sarahâs small face instantly turned red.
âYou are awake?â Christian looked at her with a faint smile. His expression became much gentler, and it was no longer as cold and hard as before.
âDid I oversleep?â Sarah smiled and sat up little embarrassed. After saying that, she got off the bed.
She walked to Christianâs bedside and saw that he had already sat up. She helped him sit in the wheelchair and pushed him out of the bedroom. She helped him sit on the sofa in the living room. Then she went to make dinner.
âItâs still early. Please sit with me for a while.â Christian reached out and pulled her to sit beside him.
âAlright! What program do you want to watch?â Sarah pressed the remote control and asked him as she spoke.
âAnything is fine.â As long as she sat there, he didnât care what program he watched.
She knew that he liked to watch the news, so she found a news channel. Just as she put down the remote control, she heard the doorbell ring. She immediately got up and walked to the door to open it.
It was Greta.
âDoctor Hughes, youâre here. Please come in!â Sarah greeted her warmly and turned to look at Christian. âChristian, Doctor Hughes is here.â
Greta followed Sarah to the living room and saw Christian looking at her indifferently. She smiled and said. âChristian. Let me give you a massageâ¦â
âDoctor Hughes, take a seat first. I will go and cut some fruits.â Sarah said as she turned around and went to the kitchen.
Greta looked at her back and put the medicine box on the table. She then took a small stool and sat beside Christian. âIn the future, I will come and massage you every day until your body recovers.â
âYou can go back!â Christian looked at her expressionlessly.
Greta listened to him and looked down. She was silent for a moment and then looked up at him. âI apologize for what happened to me before. I promise from today onwards, I am only a doctor in front of you. I will not say anything else. Is it okay?â
âNo! Tomorrow there will be an expert to help me look at my legs. You just need to take care of other patients.â
âThis is an order from Military Commander Myers! I have to come!â Before she came, she thought that he would definitely reject her, so she called Military Commander Myers in advance.
âThen you can go back! Iâll give him a call!â Christian said coldly.
Greta looked at him and said, âThen what do you want me to do? Do you want me to die for you? Do you think I disturbed your life previously? Fine! Iâll listen to you. I am just a doctor in front of you now. I want to see you every day. That way, I will be content. What else do you want me to do? Do you want me to find your little wife in the kitchen and make it clear?â
âChristian, I have no other thoughts. I just want to massage your legs. When your legs are healed, I promise I will stay away from you and never come to disturb your current life. Okay?â Greta looked at the helplessness expression on his face.
âOkay!â At this point, he did not continue to persist. It was not that he did not want to reject her, but he was very clear about this womanâs way of doing things. If she said she wanted to find Sarah, she would definitely do it.
Hearing that he finally agreed to her, Greta smiled lightly. She reached out, put his leg on sofa and started massage.
Not long after, Sarah came over with a tray of fruits. Seeing Greta doing it very seriously, she did not dare to disturb her. She turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Greta gave Christian a massage for an hour and told Sarah to take care of him carefully before carrying the medicine box and leaving.
âDoctor Hughes, you can stay and eat with us tonight!â Sarah warmly asked her to stay.
