"No!" Laura retorted immediately. "We can go to a beauty center after you recover. Technology nowadays is very advanced. No scars will be left on your face."Laura's heart would ache whenever she thought of Chris's handsome face being scarred.Chris looked at and his words seemed to be leading Laura somewhere. "What if we can't get rid of the scars? What if others dislike me because of the scars on my face?""I will never dislike you." Laura had a serious look on her face. "If no one wants to marry you anymore... I won't abandon you. I'll keep on being your wife if you want."As soon as Laura said those words, her ears turned red.Chris's eyes flashed and he continued to ask, "About the contract that we signed before we got married. Shall we cancel it then?"The contract stated that the two of them would be married for a year and after one year, they would get a divorce.Six months had passed since they were married.When Chris asked the question, he was a little scared that La
Chris looked at Laura's forehead and saw that there was a bandage there as well.He wasn't going to let Laura be scarred.It didn't take long for Harry to reply. "No problem. How are you feeling, Chris? Are there any serious problems?""I'm fine. Take care of Grandma.""Don't worry. I'll take good care of Grandma. You and Laura can focus on getting better. By the way, how are you going to deal with the two that crashed into you deliberately? The way I see it, we should sue them, send them behind bars for the rest of their lives and also teach them a lesson they'll never forget."Chris looked at the screen of the phone in his hand with an indifferent expression on his face. No one knew what he was thinking."I'll take care of those two.""Okay." Chris didn't have any problems with that.On the morning of the next day. When Laura woke up, Chris was already awake.He was leaning against his pillow and watching the morning news with his headphones on.When he saw that Laura was a
Shannon texted Laura saying that she would come to visit Laura and Chris after work.Laura couldn't really say no and could only agree to Shannon's suggestion.When Shannon arrived at the hospital, Harry just happened to be bringing dinner for Chris and Laura.The food was specially cooked by the Jacobs family's chef. The nutrients were carefully balanced and would help Laura and Chris recover."Have you eaten yet, Shannon?" Laura placed the food on the table and then looked at the time. She guessed that Shannon had probably headed straight to the hospital after getting off work. "Come, let's eat together.""It's alright." Shannon quickly waved her hand. "You don't need to worry about me, Miss Walker. You and Mr. Jacobs can eat first. I'll find a place to get something to eat later on."Harry didn't bring much food to the hospital. It was enough for Laura and Chris. However, Shannon was worried that there wouldn't be enough food if she sat down and ate with them.Today was the f
After making the suggestion, Laura's ears began to turn red.This was the only way to prevent Chris's wounds from coming in contact with water.Laura had no idea whether Chris was going to agree or not.She coughed and then lowered her head feeling a little embarrassed.If it had been in the past, Laura wouldn't have made such a suggestion, but Chris was injured this time trying to protect her. Laura wasn't a person without a conscience, she wanted to make Chris feel more comfortable during the time that he was hospitalized.Pretending to be calm, Chris nodded slowly. "Okay."Laura walked over and helped Chris into the bathroom.She had prepared a clean towel and a bucket. When she filled the bucket with hot water, she turned and looked at Chris."Well... do you want to take your clothes off first?"Laura didn't even dare to look at Chris when she was asking that question.The two of them had rarely held hands, but now, Laura was suddenly going to see Chris's naked body...'
Laura breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor was finally gone.She felt really embarrassed.During the day, Chris was working and Laura played games on her phone whilst lying on the bed.Laura didn't want Linda to be worried, so she didn't tell members of the Walker family about what happened. However, Linda still found out.She made some pickles and had nothing to do, so she decided to go out for a walk. That was when she decided to head to Laura's convenience store to give her the pickles, but Shannon told her that Laura was hurt.Linda immediately headed to the hospital with Shona.Looking at how worried Linda was, Laura said, "I'm fine, Grandma. Don't worry. I'm perfectly fine now, aren't I?"Laura stood up and walked around the ward to show Linda that she was fine.However, Linda still had a worried look on her face. "Why didn't you tell me? If it weren't for the fact that I went to the convenience store looking for you and found out, were you going to keep this a secre
Laura wasn't a hateful person, but neither was she a saint. There was no way she could forget what Luke had done in the past.In the afternoon, Lewis and Helen came to the hospital as well.The two of them had brought quite a lot of things as well. Lewis sized Chris up and down and said, "Will your face be okay? Why are there so many bandages?"After hearing Lewis's words, Laura's face darkened.She really didn't like Lewis's tone of voice."Mr. Jacobs, please leave if there's nothing else you want to talk about. Chris needs to rest."When Lewis heard those words, he glared at Laura. "What did you just say? What's wrong with me visiting my injured son? Who are you to drive me out of the room?"Lewis felt that he should have been there when Chris married Laura. If he had been there, he wouldn't have allowed Chris to marry Laura.Now that he was back, he would make sure that Harry would get married only with his permission.If he didn't give the word, Harry would not be allowed
"If I had known this would happen, I would have returned earlier. If I had been here, I would have definitely not allowed Chris to marry such a woman.""Well, it's not too late for that." A meaningful look appeared on Helen's face."Huh? What are you talking about, Helen?" Lewis didn't know what Helen was talking about."Never mind. Let's head back for now, Lewis. I don't like the smell of hospitals." Helen raised her head and smiled at Lewis.She hoped that Nicole would be of some use after she was released.Chris was hospitalized for three days. After Chris was discharged, he was prepared to head straight to work. Laura's heart ached at such a sight."Why in such a rush? You should stay at home and rest for a couple more days."Chris still had bandages that weren't removed.Chris shook his head. He then put on a hat and face mask. "It's alright. I can walk now, there's no need to worry. I'm fine."Looking at Laura's face, Chris reached out and caressed her hair.Laura's bod
Laura arrived at the top floor of the Jacobs Group without any problems.Standing outside the CEO's office, Laura knocked on the door."Come in." A familiar voice came from inside the office.It was Chris.Laura pushed the door open and walked inside. That was when she locked gazes with a pair of dark eyes.Chris was reading a file and when he saw Laura, his hand froze. "Laura."Apart from Chris, Assistant Jacobs was also in the room.Chris was sitting in the main seat as he read the file. Assistant Jacobs was sitting in front of a smaller table at the side."You..."Looking at the chairs that Chris and Assistant Jacobs were sitting in, Laura felt a little confused.Looking at Laura's eyes, Chris's heart skipped a beat. "I'm wounded and the Mr. Jacobs' chair is more comfortable than mine, so he allowed me to sit in his seat."Assistant Jacobs quickly nodded his head as well.Only then did Laura understand why Chris was sitting in the main seat.She had been wondering why C
