Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO

Chapter 1101 - 572: Extra Story: Some Love Runs Deep in the Bones, Yet I Don’t Want You to Know

"Yes, Mr. Robinson, from the CT scan just taken, the blood is gradually spreading. If you don’t undergo surgery, your fainting spells will become more frequent.""You’ve already fainted twice today, who knows how many times it will be tomorrow..."

Chester Robinson placed his hand down from rubbing his temples and said blandly, "No more talking, prescribe me two more boxes of the painkiller XX."

World-renowned brain specialist Director Turner said, "No, Mr. Robinson, you’re only temporarily alleviating the fainting. In the end, it will make the condition even worse."

"Didn’t anyone hear what I said?"

The three experts along with Director Turner all lowered their heads.

Chester continued, "You all know how risky the surgery is... I still have matters that need attending to. Once I’ve dealt with everything, I promise you, I’ll go through with the surgery."

Leaving the hospital, Keith Antony silently followed behind Chester.

It was rare for Keith to be so quiet, prompting Chester to ask, "What’s wrong with you?"

Keith seemed voiceless, "Bo... Boss..."

"I’m not dead yet, don’t put on a mourning face, it displeases me."

"But Boss, Director Turner says you need surgery as soon as possible..."

"I’m a doctor, I have my own discretion."

Keith risked his life to rush in front of Chester, his voice hoarse, "Boss, this is no joke... Director Turner said you should have had the surgery long ago, but you’ve been delaying."

Chester frowned, "Are you parroting Director Turner too?"

Keith shook his head, "I wouldn’t dare... But Boss, if you keep delaying, I’m afraid as Director Turner says, the situation will get worse... Dammit, I’ve been following you for so long, yet I couldn’t even notice your discomfort."

Keith forcefully slapped his head, gritting his teeth, hating himself.

Chester sighed, "Alright, you know doctors exaggerate."

"But Director Turner wouldn’t exaggerate to you, Boss."

Chester glared at Keith, "Am I not okay?"

Keith quietly said, "You’ve fainted twice today..."

"Speaking of which, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet..."

"Huh?"

Chester started walking again, speaking blandly, "Who told you to inform Alice?"

"I... I saw you weren’t feeling well, so I..." Keith didn’t dare continue speaking.

Unexpectedly, after asking about Keith’s notification, Chester did not continue to blame him.

Keith was so scared he was trembling, hurriedly opening the car door for Chester.

After Chester sat in the car, perhaps his head was still in pain, he rubbed his temples and asked, "Where is she?"

Keith replied, "The staff told me Miss Alice has taken a taxi home..."

Chester nodded, "Let’s go home!"

"Yes."

Upstairs and downstairs, he didn’t see Alice, Chester stood in the hall, frowning.

Just in time, Keith ran up to report to Chester, "Boss, I saw Aunt PA, she told me Miss Alice is in the garden."

From a distance, Chester watched Alice sitting on the garden lawn with her knees hugged, his steps halted.

The sun at four in the afternoon was neither strong nor weak.

The shade from the tree behind her, however, blocked the sunlight, making her look particularly lonely at this moment.

Rachel was playing in front of her, but she watched quietly, her gaze vacant.

His heart ached uncontrollably for his coldness to her in the car earlier.

Rachel suddenly fell on the grass and burst into tears...

She reacted only a few seconds after being lost in thought.

By the time she ran towards Rachel, he had already picked Rachel up from the grass.

She froze in place, seemingly not expecting him to appear at this moment.

Rachel’s hand was scratched by the stones on the ground, now whimpering, calling, "Uncle..."

He squatted down with Rachel cradled in his arms, carefully examining the scratches on her palm.

She had already rushed forward with a heart full of pain, temporarily forgetting the tension between them.

"Rachel, let mommy take a look..." She said painfully, opening her daughter’s palm and seeing the large gash still bleeding, feeling distressed. It was all her fault for being distracted when watching the child, causing her daughter to be injured.

"Mommy, it hurts..." Rachel pouted, tears welling up.

Alice said, "Good girl, it doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt, Mommy will blow on it for you..." Saying so, Alice blew on Rachel’s palm intermittently to ease the pain.

Chester had already instructed the servant rushing over from afar, "Fetch the medicine box."

"Mommy, it still hurts..."

"Come, Mommy will hold you..."

Alice reached out and took Rachel from Chester’s arms.

Rachel lay on Alice’s shoulder, quieting down for once.

Alice gently patted Rachel’s back, turning to leave the garden.

Chester said behind her, "Her scratches are quite deep; a simple disinfection is needed before going to the hospital."

Alice continued on, unmoved, carrying Rachel forward.

In Alice’s embrace, Rachel squirmed, "Mommy, I don’t want to go to the hospital..."

"If we don’t go to the hospital, your hand will hurt very much," Alice coaxed.

"But I don’t want a shot..."

"Just bandage it, no shots."

"No... Mommy, you always lie to me... Last time you said going to the hospital wouldn’t require a shot, but you still helped the doctor give me a shot..."

Alice was embarrassed, not expecting her credibility in front of her child to be so low. She tried hard to persuade, "This time, Mommy promises no shots."

Rachel struggled hard, "I don’t want to listen to Mommy..."

"Rachel, you’re not listening to Mommy again?" Alice put on a stern face.

Rachel started crying in grievance, "Bad Mommy..."

Alice was both amused and helpless because of Rachel.

Rachel couldn’t break free from Alice and finally reached out to Chester for help, "Uncle, save me..."

Chester was amused by the scene in front of him and stepped forward.

Rachel twisted around and threw herself into Chester’s arms.

Alice was reluctant to let go of Alice and said mildly, "I’m educating my daughter." The underlying meaning: you, step aside!

Chester’s gaze deepened as he looked at Alice’s stubborn face, a slight smile spreading at the corners of his mouth.

She received the message from his eyes, as if telling her that Rachel was also his daughter.

"Rachel, stop fooling around, Mommy will take you to the hospital..."

"I don’t want to... Uncle, save me..." Rachel clung onto Chester.

Alice ultimately couldn’t do anything about Rachel and watched her daughter throw herself into Chester’s arms.

Chester gently held Rachel in his arms, soothing her with a warm voice.

At this time, a servant came running with a medicine box.

Chester gently said to Rachel, "Hey, little sweetheart... let Mommy hold you, and Uncle will apply some mercurochrome, okay?"

Rachel clung to Chester’s chest and wouldn’t let go, "I don’t want to, Mommy wants to take me to the hospital for shots."

"Uncle promises, if you use mercurochrome, Rachel won’t have to go to the hospital for shots..."

Rachel slowly lifted her head from Chester’s embrace and innocently asked Chester, "Uncle, will you lie to me like Mommy?"

Chester shook his head, "Uncle won’t lie to you... When has Uncle ever lied to you?"

Rachel raised her painful palm and pointed, "Will the mercurochrome hurt?"

"It doesn’t hurt... it’s like being bitten by an ant."

Rachel seriously thought about what it felt like to be bitten by an ant, and finally nodded obediently, reaching out to Alice, "Mommy..."

Alice took Rachel, feeling a bit annoyed inside. Daughters truly are their fathers’ lovers from past lives!

Chester took the medicine box handed by the servant and let Alice sit with Rachel on the chair beside them.

Crouching, Chester spread open Rachel’s palm and carefully swabbed it with an alcohol-soaked cotton swab.

Chester was a doctor and knew exactly how to clean a wound to minimize the patient’s pain.

Sure enough, Rachel didn’t make a sound and even looked at Chester with a reverent gaze.

Alice sat on the chair, deliberately leaning back to keep her distance from him, but she could still smell his pleasant masculine scent.

His face was turned to the side, highlighting his chiseled features...

Double eyelids, high nose bridge, thin lips, a handsome chin...

She couldn’t quite put it into words, he was simply handsome.

Unknowingly, he had already finished treating Rachel’s palm, "All done..."

Rachel dutifully said, "Thank you, Uncle."

It was only then that she returned to her senses and got up holding Rachel.

He looked at her and said, "Rachel should be taken to the hospital to bandage it; this will ensure it doesn’t get infected."

Alice remained silent.

Rachel reached out to Chester, "Uncle, I want you to hold me..." The little princess didn’t trust Alice.

"Okay."

This time, Alice didn’t insist and let Rachel throw herself into Chester’s arms.

Rachel stayed particularly quiet in Chester’s arms, lying on Chester’s shoulder without a sound.

Chester said, "Let’s go, to the hospital." With that, he started walking.

Alice hesitated for a long time but eventually followed behind him silently.

It was Chester who personally drove to the hospital, with Alice holding Rachel in the front passenger seat.

Nobody expected Rachel to fall asleep as soon as she got in the car, making the atmosphere inside particularly quiet.

Naturally, Alice didn’t plan to speak to Chester, keeping her eyes on the window.

"Are you cold?"

Chester asked.

Alice didn’t respond.

Chester reached out and held Alice’s hand on his own accord.

Even in summer, Alice’s hands and feet were cold, and with the air conditioning in the car, goosebumps had already formed on her arms.

Her icy hand met his warm palm, causing her body to flinch slightly.

This scene was so reminiscent of the past...

When she was cold, he would always reach out to hold her hand.

But at this moment, it was far from the past.

He always struck her hard with a slap, only to give her sweet jujube afterward.
