An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 93

Nina Moore, Charles‘ daughter, appeared in Christopher‘s mind. The last time they met was when he was seventeen. At that time, Nina was only thirteen years old, and she was not very good–looking. Christopher changed the topic and stated, “Mr. Moore, stop joking around. Nina‘s personality isn‘t compatible with mine.”

Charles smiled without commenting. He had been doing everything he could in the best interests of his daughter. Yet, Charles was unable to find a suitable husband for her.

Meanwhile, at a hospital in Dellmoor, Jodie and her mother, Raina Gray, were standing beside Zachary‘s hospital bed.

Their eyebrows were furrowed. After all, they were in a four–person ward, and the other patients‘ families had not stopped talking all day. The noise irked Jodie, but she was held back by Raina. They could not afford to stay in a single–person ward with their current circumstances.

Just then, one of the patient‘s family members took away Jodie‘s flask. “My dad has soiled his bed. Lend me your water!”

Jodie exploded in anger and yelled, “Why didn‘t he do it in the toilet? Can‘t you prepare your own water?”

The other party did not take her seriously and replied, “My dad is eighty this year. He can‘t control his urination and defecation. How could he have the time to go to the toilet? What‘s wrong with using your water? You got your water from the hospital for free. You can just refill it after I‘m done.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jodie wanted to argue with him but was held back by Raina. “It‘s fine. We can get more water later.”

As soon as her words fell, the flask fell from the man‘s hand and was dropped to the ground, causing it to break apart.

The man took a look at the broken flask on the ground. Not only did he not apologize, but he also mocked, “How cheap. Why did you cheapskates buy such a cheap good? It broke so easily when I didn‘t manage to hold it properly.”

Jodie almost exploded in anger. “No matter how cheap it is, it‘s still someone else‘s belonging. Pay me back!”

The man handed over his own dirty flask which he had used for many years. “Here! You can have it.”

Jodie did not reach out to take it as she was disgusted. “You could‘ve fetched the water on your own when you have a flask. Are you nuts?”

As the man‘s family members were all present in the room, he stood up in an imposing manner before saying, “Who are you calling nuts? Isn‘t it just a flask? I‘ll just give you another flask since I broke yours. Why do you have so much to say about that?”

Raina had never encountered such a situation before, as she had been a wealthy lady all her life. She shielded Jodie and said, “It‘s fine, Jo. You can go buy a new one. Stop arguing. Your dad won‘t be able to rest well if it‘s too noisy.”

Jodie glared at those people and left after slamming the door angrily. She looked visibly upset, and one could tell that she was not to be messed with. She then strode forward with a fierce look.

Jodie rushed out of the elevator. However, she bumped into someone. As she was already very upset, she warned loudly, “Are you blind? Don‘t you know you have to wait for the person to get off the elevator

before boarding it?”

Steven clutched at his chest after bumping into her. His face was pale, and he got more frustrated upon hearing her unfriendly tone. “Excuse me? I didn‘t even move when I stood outside the elevator. What did I even do? It‘s you who bumped into me.”

Seeing that it was Steven, Jodie rolled her eyes immediately. “Look who it is. Despite your tall figure, you have no brains. Get out of my way!”

Steven grabbed her and inquired, “Hold on. How am I stupid? You seem to have a lot of opinion about me. May I ask what I have done to you? Not only did I not offend you, but I have also saved you. I didn‘t even ask you to pay off the five hundred thousand that you owe me.”

Jodie was triggered upon hearing his words. “I don‘t have any money. My family is in huge debt. I can‘t pay off the debt even if you want me to. You didn‘t offend me. I just feel that you are an eyesore. Are you done? Let go of me!”
