Chapter 279
Chris‘ words were once comforting, but now, they felt nothing more like Irony.
“I know,” I replied, pausing briefly before adding. “I’m not a child anymore.”
Chris understood the underlying meaning of my words and gave me a bitter smile. “I guess I just worry
too much.”
I stayed silent, so he added, “Be careful when you walk Don’t get distracted.”
I nodded, but the image of the dream I had last night of him covered in blood suddenly flashed through my mind.
Seeing him here now made my chest tight, so I instinctively asked, “What are you doing here?”
His lips moved, but he didn’t answer.
“Are you-” I wanted to ask if he was unwell, but before I could finish, a voice calling out to him cut me off. “Chris, hurry up!” It was Jewel.
Chris tall figure blocked my view, so I couldn’t see her, but I recognized her voice. At that moment, I realized why he was at the hospital. It wasn’t because he was unwell, but because he was with Jewel.
1 didn’t even need to ask why they were there. It was probably for a prenatal checkup. Here I was, foolishly worrying about him because of a silly dream. How pointless it was.
Chris‘ face stiffened at Jewel’s call. So, 1 smirked sarcastically. “Mr. Gildon, please go ahead if you’re busy.
With that, I turned and walked away. But as soon as I got into my car, my phone buzzed twice. Someone had sent me a message.
I opened it and saw a text from Jewel. “Madeline, since you and Chris are no longer together, I hope you can keep your distance from him,”
Seeing her message made my anger flare up. I immediately replied, “If you’re so worried, why don’t you tie him to you? Who do you think you are to tell me what to do?”
