Whether Christopher was willing to help her or not, it no longer mattered. He didn't owe Sydney anything and wasn't obliged to help her. It was good enough that he was willing to hear her out.
Sydney looked up and said, "I'm not expecting you to help me by telling you all these. You can just hear me out. I'll figure a way out myself."
"How are you going to do that?" Christopher asked.
Sydney pondered for a long time, and her eyes grew sharp. "If he were to force me to a corner, I'd die along with him. I'll kill him and go to jail, at most. Or I could kill myself after killing him. Whatever it is…"
Before she could complete her sentence, Christopher covered her mouth with his hand. His brows furrowed, he said solemnly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Sydney broke down and hugged him.
"I really have considered dying with him. I thought of killing him in his sleep, but I hated the thought of having to sacrifice myself to get rid of him. Why? I refuse to accept that!"
"Syd," Christopher called out to her.
Sydney was very agitated. "He's your brother-in-law. Will you blame me if I were to kill him? Will your sister blame me?"
Christopher patted her back gently. "Don't be silly. I won't let you do something like that."
He had never seen Sydney so weak and vulnerable. Clearly, Geoffrey spelled huge trouble for her.
Christopher let Sydney go and gently wiped the tears from her face. "I won't let anything happen to you. Don't worry. Leave Geoffrey Carter to me."
Sydney looked up at him with glistening eyes. "You're willing to help me?"
Christopher nodded. "Yes. My sister has already suffered with him. I don't want that to happen to you, too."
Sydney wiped the tears from her face and drew near to kiss him, but Christopher put his fingers on her lips.

The readers' comments on the novel: Chasing My Pregnant Wife (Rosalie and Theodore)
Why aren't u updating......
Unrealistic. What a comedy. If Sebastian and Rosalie are cousins, their families must have already prevented them to be together abroad. Isn't it bizarre that nobody is doing something to let them know of their family relationship? And pls stop putting Aurora in a high pedestal. Your readers want Rosalie to be genuinely happy,free of stupid misunderstanding. Thank you....
Another garbled story with lots of gibberish. Absolute rubbish. I got to chapter 26 and can't anymore...
Too many people involve.. sigh~ this is like the most angst novel i've read.....
I just wish one thing...that the writer will not bring too many unnecessary and unrealistic twists,too many misunderstanding,miscommunication that gives the reader the hint not to continue with the novel. In the long run, We lost our interest in this kind of unending plot....
Thanks for the update !...
