Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 519

It all happened so quickly. I barely had time to process my reaction. “Thank you, Mrs. Lane. Thank you so much.”

With a choked voice, I expressed my gratitude over and over again. I did not know whether to cry or laugh. I was happy to finally be acknowledged by Christopher’s family. At the same time, I wanted to burst out into tears, perhaps because this happiness had not come easy for me.

“Thank you, Mrs. Lane.” Tears welled up in my eyes and overflowed down my face. I had finally done it. My determination had managed to sway them.

“What are you crying for? Have I been that harsh on you? I just agreed to your marriage, that’s all, yet you’re so emotional.” Julia’s eyes started to tear up too. She gently dabbed away the tears on my face.

“Not at all. I’m just… so happy. If Chris knew about this, he would be overjoyed too. Mrs. Lane, do you mind if I give him a call right now?” I looked expectantly toward her.

Her lips quivered. Whatever it was that she intended to say, she did not. Instead, she turned around and exited the ward. With tears still at the corners of my eyes, I was confused. Is that a yes or a no?

As they said, never count your chickens before they hatch. I supposed that my situation had been too good to be true. Right after Julia left, Christopher appeared by the door.

His face was tense as he stood there silently. His typically neat hair was a mess. Even the clothes that hung on his body were wrinkled. It looked as though he had just gotten out of bed.

The worst part of it all was his facial expression. Looking at him, I was at a loss for words. I squirmed under my blanket and started to sob. Why would Julia do this? I looked over to her in hopes that she would catch my signal. However, she responded by ignoring me and shutting the door behind her.

Wow. So much for becoming closer. How could she turn her back so quickly on me?

Christopher strode over and pulled me into his arms. Because he was too forceful, his body slammed into the injury on my chest. The pain caused my face to twist, but I kept my mouth sealed. I hugged him back tightly.
