It must have been worth a few hundred thousand dollars. Every breathtaking detail of the watch reeked of money.
There probably was not a man alive who would not appreciate such an accessory symbolizing high status.
However, after staring at it in a daze for a long time, Chris didn't even have the courage to take it out and try it on. He simply closed the lid and placed the entire gift box on the nightstand beside him.
If Donovan had transferred a few hundred thousand dollars in cash to him, he could have accepted it calmly. His emotions would not have been this complicated. Yet Donovan had given him an expensive item and explicitly said it was his birthday present.
The key point was that a man as busy, noble, and respectable as Donovan actually remembered his birthday.
Chris leaned back against the headboard and closed his eyes. He recalled the fragmented and stained years of his past decades and compared them to his days by Donovan's side. He felt an inexplicable pang of pain.
Another day passed in the hospital bed.
It was now a weekend afternoon.
The caretaker spoke to him. "Mr. Thompson, there is a woman outside who wants to see you. Is it a convenient time?"
"Who is it?" Chris asked.
"It is a pregnant woman. She claims her last name is Holt."
Chris knew immediately that it was Giselle. He didn't think much of it. "Let her in."
Soon, Giselle appeared at the door with her large baby bump.
She left her bodyguards outside and closed the door herself. She walked slowly to Chris' bedside. Looking at Chris, who had lost a significant amount of weight, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Are you doing okay?" she asked casually.
