Chapter 351 Just an Illegitimate Child
"Thank you."
Terrence nodded, his words full of respect for Christina.
When they were almost at a dead end, Christina gave them a glimmer of
hope.
Terrence could not forget such kindness.
After a short sob, Christina gradually sorted out her emotions.
"Sorry, I lost my composure."
She wiped her tears clean.
Christina always paid attention to her composure. In front of others, she always had a cold expression.
She got up and walked to the end of the corridor. When she reached the garden, she took out a
cigarette from her bag.
"Do you have a lighter?" Christina asked calmly.
"No." Terrence's voice was cold. "I don't smoke."
"Oh, forget it."
Christina casually said it and threw the cigarette into the trash can.
"More than twenty years ago, I gave up my profession as a doctor," she spoke slowly as if she was
telling a story, "When I was giving emergency treatment to a bleeding pregnant woman, I made a
mistake. She died on the operating table."
"Doctors are humans, not deities."
"If I did not manage to save Alexa this time, would you blame me?" Christina looked at Terrence and
wore a bitter smile.
"You will, right?"
Before Terrence's reply, she continued.
"Although I saved the baby, the family of the pregnant woman wants to kill
me.
"I bear this 'sin' for twenty years. When I dreamed, I would always remember
that woman's eyes of unwillingness..."
In the end, Christina's voice lowered.
"But a few days ago, that child returned."
Before she could finish speaking, Terrence had guessed who that person
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas.
"It was Irvin, right?"
As a result, all the dots were connected.
"He is Scott's illegitimate son."
Terrence's tone showed absolute affirmation.
Christina raised her head to look at the distant sky. Suddenly, her eyes stung.
"That woman is Jovan's younger sister. Scott even personally sent the child to the Niebergall's place."
She did not want to mention the past, but now, she still went against her heart.
"Scott felt guilty towards Irvin and Jovan. He practically accepted all of their sins.
"The commercial negotiation you participated in was indeed a trap.
"A life, when compared with the battle for power and profit between wealthy families, is nothing."
Christina had a mocking expression. People all thought that she did not
care about everything that was happening, but she didn't miss any of them.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Do you need to ask?"
Christina frowned and her tone became much stricter.
"Do your best to protect Alexa and then take her away."
"I will."
"But I don't believe in the rich."
Christina picked up the conversation and asked her assistant to bring over
a contract.
"I need you to give me a promise," Christina said sternly, "You must guarantee that you will not do
those stupid things and will treat her well for
the rest of your life. Otherwise, all the capital of the Duran Group that you
got will be returned to Alexa."
In Christina's eyes, there was a hint of inquiry.
"Terrence, do you dare?"
Unexpectedly, Terrence did not hesitate at all. After taking the contract, he signed his name.
"I hope you can rest assured, but at the same time, you can set up as many tests for me as you want,"
he said calmly, "I can guarantee that I will not
disappoint you."
Christina nodded. Her attitude towards Terrence seemed to have changed
a lot.
"Go back to the ward and stay with Alexa." Christina was confident. "This operation is successful. At
least, she will be safe for six months."
"What about the follow-up?"
"You said that I am a doctor, not a deity, so I have no way to make a
promise to the future."
"Okay."
Terrence nodded and went back to the ward.
He asked Edwin to get more guards, and Keyon also sent many people
over.
However, when Terrence passed the corridor, he found that Keyon was
sitting there.
His expression was gloomy, and his eyes were dark.
"Have you seen him?" Terrence asked.
"Terrence, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
"Tell me."
"Send them all to prison."
This was nothing to Terrence.
However, the hatred in Keyon's eyes was monstrous, and it was obvious
that he was playing a bigger game.
"I have collected enough evidence. Next, I only need Derick to be the
witness," Keyon said in a deep voice, "You don't need to care about what I
will do, but I hope that you can come to testify."
"Sure."
At this time, Christina received a call from Scott and returned to the villa.
Scott was sitting on the sofa with a dark face. Several lawyers and
consultants were standing next to him.
When he saw Christina, he waved his hand irritably to have those people
leave.
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Scott suddenly picked up the medical records on the table
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand threw them at Christina's feet.
"Don't you have the best medical team?" he questioned her, "Irvin is just suffering from food poisoning.
Why hasn't he recovered after being treated
for so long?"
Christina glanced at Scott coldly and took a deep breath.
"It must be your son's doing!"
Scott was so angry that he slammed the table and stood up. When he
looked at Christina's reddened eyes, there was no sympathy in his eyes.
In front of outsiders, he could play the role of a loving father.
But in Scott's heart, Irvin was the most important person.
"My son? Isn't he also your son?" Christina laughed angrily.
"Don't forget who killed Paxton back then."
Scott looked at Christina with undisguised hatred and disgust.
"If not for the fact that you gave birth to two children for the Duran family,
do you think you can live until now?"
"Scott, you are just a heartless bastard!
"A bastard!
"They caused Alexa's miscarriage and her life is in danger. You just turned a
blind eye to it." Christina sneered. "But you were nervous when your
illegitimate child was slightly injured like your world is gonna collapse. Scott, look what you've done.
"The person I love has always been Paxton. For your child, I have tried my
best to put up with them.
"Scott, I want a divorce."
Christina said these words firmly, but what she received was a slap.
Scott stood in front of Christina with a cold expression and grabbed her
neck in anger.
"Don't even think about it."
"Kaff kaff..."
"Don't you like to be Mrs. Duran? Aren't you jealous enough to kill Paxton?"
Scott gritted his teeth and increased the strength in his hands. "I will keep a vicious and lowly woman
like you by my side and torture you for a lifetime." After venting his anger, Scott threw Christina away in
extreme disgust.
"You better do your best to cure Irvin. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that the medicine to cure your
daughter can be developed."
