An Impossible Marriage novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63 

She did not expect things to turn out so disastrously due to a misunderstanding. Now, many others were dragged into the issue. 

The contents of the news report agitated her greatly. Hence, her chest moved up and down furiously as she struggled to breathe. 

Hurriedly, Elizabeth snatched the phone away. “Meg, stop looking at it! The most important thing right now is for you to rest and recuperate. As long as Mr. Lewis believes you, you‘ll be fine. Do you understand?” 

Margaret remained silent. How could Christopher trust me?He has never trusted me even from the start... 

Upon seeing her distressed state, Elizabeth‘s heart ached for Margaret. Unfortunately, she was unable to help her. 

When nighttime arrived, Elizabeth was forced by Margaret to return home. Margaret did not want the other woman to stay with her at the hospital since she only had a slight cold and could take care of herself. By the next day, Margaret could be discharged. 

Perhaps it was because she had slept too much in the daytime, but Margaret could not sleep then. She closed her eyes and lay on the hospital bed while contemplating many things. 

Suddenly, someone outside the hospital room yelled, “What‘re you doing?” 

Hearing this, Margaret jumped in shock. Her eyes shot open just in time to see someone‘s face disappear from the window on her room door! Who was spying on me? 

Haunted by that thought, she did not dare to remain in the hospital any longer. She packed her things and left the place, still wearing her hospital gown. She did not even go through the discharge procedures. 

Upon returning to the Lewis residence, all was quiet and still. The only thing that remained was the light emanating from the road lamps in the garden and the main door. Christopher was not at home. 

Then, Margaret went to her room and wrapped herself up tightly in the blanket. Gradually, she calmed down. As expected, the atmosphere at home is different from other places... 

Meanwhile, at the hospital. 

A tall figure slowly approached Margaret‘s room before his long fingers gently pushed open the door. When he saw that the bed was empty, the man paused in shock. Thereafter, he turned and rushed toward the nurses‘ station. He exclaimed, “Where did the patient in Bed 23 go?” 

The nurse on duty was terrified by the man‘s frosty countenance. She quickly went to check the hospital room. Ultimately, she stammered, “I–I don‘t know.. 

Coldly, the man commanded, “Examine the surveillance cameras!” 

After four hours had passed, Christopher dragged his weary body back to the Lewis residence. It was already past six in the morning. At that moment, Elizabeth was preparing breakfast for Margaret. Noticing Christopher, she subconsciously asked, “Mr. Lewis? Have you just returned home?” 

Christopher mildly replied, “Yes.” Following that, he speedily went up the stairs. When he caught sight of the sleeping Margaret on the bed, the tension disappeared from his body. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the person lying on the bed opened her eyes. She said, “You‘re back?” 

Hearing her hoarse voice, Christopher‘s footsteps faltered for the slightest moment. Nonetheless, he did not stop moving forward. 

Downstairs, Elizabeth talked to Noah, who had accompanied Christopher back home. She questioned, “Why did Mr. Lewis return home so late? Has something happened?” 

Quietly, Noah answered, “Mr. Lewis went to the hospital last night. When he saw that Mrs. Lewis was missing from the room, he looked for her via the surveillance cameras for four hours...”
