CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 188: BECCA, YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND IS HERE TO PICK YOU UP (PART 1)
Just when Rebecca Quentin was extremely worried, the silver-gray private car she had seen earlier suddenly stopped beside her.
The car window rolled down, Chester Robinson glanced coldly at Rebecca Quentin, "Why am I still here?" She had been waiting here since he left the hospital, and she was still there when he returned to pick something up.
Seeing Chester Robinson, Rebecca Quentin didn’t hesitate and immediately opened the car door, seating herself inside, "Doctor Robinson, I’m sorry, I haven’t been able to find a taxi, and I fear I’ll have to trouble you to give me a ride."
In the suite.
Rebecca Quentin affectionately watched Andrew suckling in her arms, relieved to finally be back by his side...
The child had been crying so terribly earlier, his eyes were red and swollen from tears. Now, exhausted from crying, he was sucking and sleeping in her arms. Usually, he would be energetic and want her to play with him. She felt she was not a competent mother.
Chester Robinson noticed a trace of guilt on Rebecca Quentin’s face and couldn’t help but say, "Actually, when a child cries intensely now and then, it’s beneficial for their heart and lungs. As parents, there’s no need to worry excessively."
Rebecca Quentin gently kissed Andrew’s closed eyelashes, and then looked at Chester Robinson with gratitude, sincerely saying, "Thank you so much, Doctor Robinson. If it weren’t for your ride, I wouldn’t know how badly Andrew would have cried at home."
Chester Robinson’s tone remained as indifferent as ever, "I had no intention to give you a ride; it was you who wouldn’t let go of my car."
Rebecca Quentin burst into laughter at Chester Robinson’s words, "But you didn’t make me get out, which means you have that benevolent heart of a doctor to save and help the injured and dying!"
Seeing Rebecca Quentin’s innocent smile like a little girl, Chester Robinson couldn’t help but squint his eyes and examine her closely, sincerely saying, "You have quite a good temper, not minding at all despite knowing I’m full of hostility towards you."
Rebecca Quentin answered honestly, "You’re Alice’s brother, you don’t like me, and I have nothing more to say."
Chester Robinson suddenly said, "Actually, I’m curious, how come you’re alone in T City? I thought you should have been..."
Chester Robinson’s unfinished words were completed by Rebecca Quentin, "You thought I should have been with Howard Geoffrey in New York, but unexpectedly, you ran into me in T City, while your sister and Howard Geoffrey were flaunting their love at a friend’s wedding, completely overturning your expectations..."
Chester Robinson nodded slightly, "That’s exactly what I wanted to say."
Rebecca Quentin shrugged with relief and smiled serenely, "Doctor Robinson, actually, your sister and Howard Geoffrey have always been the perfect match. Whether it’s family background, personality, or looks, they are considered an ideal couple by the public. Mrs. Geoffrey has always liked your sister, so them being together now is only natural... As for me, you really don’t need to worry, the key is that Howard Geoffrey has nothing to do with me anymore!"
"Since he has nothing to do with you anymore, you’re still unwilling to tell him even though you’re pregnant?"
"In fact, I never planned to keep this child, but these days..." Rebecca Quentin paused and looked down at her stomach, "When I feel him developing healthily within me, I just can’t bring myself to go to the hospital and have him removed, I think it would be really cruel." No matter the complexities of the adult world, the child remains innocent...
Chester Robinson agreed, "I’ve been a doctor for many years, and I’ve never performed an abortion for any pregnant woman because I share your attitude towards children. I believe that since parents have brought the child into this world, they do not have the right to take away his right to live."
Rebecca Quentin hesitated, "But, if the child is born destined not to have a complete family, is that really good for the child’s future?"
Chester Robinson stood up from the sofa and earnestly countered, "How can you be so sure that the child would think living isn’t a good thing?"
"I..." Rebecca Quentin couldn’t answer, and abruptly laughed, "I think I understand what you’re saying."
Chester Robinson rarely showed Rebecca Quentin a smile, "Alright, Miss Quentin, I still need to return to the hospital this afternoon, I’ll take my leave now..." With that, Chester Robinson’s tall figure walked towards the door.
Rebecca Quentin stood up holding Andrew, apologetically saying, "Doctor Robinson, thank you again for giving me a ride today. If there’s a chance, I’ll treat you to a meal."
Chester Robinson had already left the suite.
Rebecca Quentin sat back on the sofa, her gaze falling on Andrew’s sleeping face once more.
Although she had decided to keep the child, she knew she would face a lot of challenges...
However, what Chester Robinson said was right. How could she determine the child’s future as a tragedy? A child’s perception of the world should be decided by the child, not by her...
She has no right to take away the child’s right to live!
New York, at a certain golf course.
Howard Geoffrey and Skyler Jones had just finished a round of golf and were now sitting under a sunshade resting.
Skyler Jones took a sip of water and was the first to speak, "’M’ is getting impatient and wants me to get the funds from you as soon as possible to implement the next step of the plan."
Howard Geoffrey lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke slowly, and responded lightly, "Later on, I’ll have Lisa Cecily transfer the money into your account." Since it’s an act, it has to be convincing.
Skyler Jones turned his face toward Howard Geoffrey and chuckled lightly, "Aren’t you afraid that I might actually run off with the money?"
Howard Geoffrey sincerely responded, "You’re my big brother, if you wanted, I could give you the entire Skytop Group." Family holds more importance to him than anything.
Skyler Jones hurriedly replied, "Sorry, I was just joking. Not only do I have no interest in Skytop, but even if I wanted to manage it, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle it!"
Howard Geoffrey’s gaze remained fixed on the distance. After a long silence between them, he suddenly said, "Brother, once the matter with ’M’ is resolved, I hope we can truly eliminate any misgivings, stop dwelling on the past, and return to being our true brothers."
Skyler Jones countered, "You want me to be brothers with you, but ask me not to dwell on the past, I’m afraid I can’t do that. I will never forget how mom abandoned me back then!"
Howard Geoffrey solemnly said, "You know mom had no choice at the time..."
Skyler Jones glared at Howard Geoffrey, angrily exclaiming, "She didn’t have no choice, she chose you!" It’s a thorn that’s never been pulled from his heart!
Howard Geoffrey explained, "That’s because I was younger then."
Skyler Jones acted as if his anger was reaching its peak and nodded fervently, "Fine, fine, you can justify that, but explain to me why, when I repeatedly went to see her later, she always kept me away? Was she not even willing to take another look at me?"
