The Contract Marriage

Chapter 233

“Thank you. Thank you very much.”

“Go back and take good care of her.”

“Okay, then you go ahead with your work. I’ll go back first.” Christian got up and thanked the doctor before returning to his wife’s ward.

When he walked into the ward, he saw Samantha sitting beside his wife. Christian immediately walked over and patted his mother-in-law’s shoulder. He motioned for her to come out with him.

Samantha understood that Christian was afraid of disturbing her sleeping daughter, so she got up and followed him out of the room. She gently closed the door of the ward.

Only then did Christian look at his mother-in-law. “Mom, you have been very tired these two days. I can just stay here and watch Sarah today. You can go back first.”

Samantha looked at the ward a little worriedly and understood that Christian would definitely take care of Sarah. She did not continue to argue with him and nodded her head. “Okay. Then I will go back first. If anything happens to Sarah, remember to call me, okay?”

“Yes, I will, Mom.”

“Okay, then I will go back first.” Samantha nodded and went into the ward to take out her bag before leaving her daughter’s ward.

Christian walked back into the ward and sat down beside his wife’s sickbed. He looked at the injury on her forehead and got up to walk to the end of the bed. He lifted the quilt and looked at her fractured calf.

There was cast there. There were some bruises and abrasions in a few places.

Christian’s eyes immediately turned red with pain. He put the blanket back and covered it. He sat next to Sarah again and looked at her, who was still sleeping.

Christian wished that all the wounds on her body would be on him. He was a soldier, even if all these injuries were to happen to him. . . He could endure it, but his little wife was too young. She still looked so weak, and now she was still carrying their child for six months. How could she, with her cumbersome body, be able to endure such injuries?

His heart was tightly gripped in pain.

He reached out to stroke his little wife’s hair. Sarah was clearly injured, so at this moment, she should be in pain.

However, he didn’t know if it was because she knew that he had returned, in her sleep, the corners of her lips were slightly raised. Christian didn’t know what good things she had dreamt of, but she smiled in her sleep.

Ever since Sarah got into a car accident, the person who had been living the worst life in the entire Cooper Family in the past two days, was none other than Vivian.

She had not expected Jasmine to intervene in this matter out of nowhere. Jasmine had asked her lawyer to investigate Felix’s information thoroughly these two days.

Lucas was constantly harassed by Felix, so he had no choice but to call Vivian.

Vivian was afraid that her matter would be discovered by the Cooper of Sarah’s accident, she went back to her mother’s house.

At night, after Lucas sent Julian back to Villa of Cooper Family, he went his own house. He called Vivian and told her that he was waiting for her downstairs.

Vivian told her mother that she was going to find Lucas to get some things. Mrs. Holmes was initially a little worried, but she later heard that Lucas was downstairs. She did not think too much about it. After all, they grew up together when they were young, so she let her daughter go.

When Vivian went out, she was still afraid that others would recognize and covered herself tightly, and then went to Lucas’s house.

Because she had already made a phone call, the moment Vivian arrived at Lucas’s house, the door opened. Vivian immediately walked in.

Lucas closed the door and kissed Vivian hard before holding her hand and walking to the sofa to sit down.

“Vivian, what should we do now? If Jasmine indescribable panic about this matter.

One should know that if this matter was found out, it would be a crime of murder. No matter what he said, he would have to go to jail.

“Can’t you just make him insist that he is drunk driving?” Vivian felt that this matter was actually very simple.

“What you said is simple. The problem is, isn’t this Felix a lot of criminal records in the past?”

“What former offenses?” Vivian asked in surprise.

“He used to cheat insurance by accident. out once investigated. Vivian, what do you think we should do now?”

Lucas was timid. Ever since Sarah got into trouble, he had been constantly harassed by Felix. These two days, he had been feeling a little uneasy and guilty.

“Then why did you say it so well? You said that nothing would happen. Now it’s good. If someone really finds out, both of us will go to jail.” Vivian was also a little nervous when she heard his words, but she still maintained a bit of composure.

“He promised me pretty well back then, but who knew that he would become like this now? Vivian, what do you think we should do about this matter?” Lucas looked at Vivian with a somewhat disapproving look.

“But that’s not right. Even if he lied to me before, as long as he bit the matter of being drunk and compensated with some money, wouldn’t it be over?” Vivian still could not understand.

When Lucas heard her words, the expression on his face Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What’s wrong?” Vivian stared at him.

“Actually, he just wants to add money. He said that the person he originally did not expect to bump into was actually the younger sister of the Wilson Group’s Vice President. Now, Jasmine had intervened in this matter. So this matter was a little difficult to handle. What Felix meant was that it wouldn’t be a problem for him to bite her. The key was that he wanted us to increase the money.”

“How much?”

“He wants. . . One. . . One million.” Lucas stretched out his finger uneasily.

“What? One million.? Is he crazy about money?” Vivian was so angry that her eyes widened.

“He. . . He said that as long as we can take out one million, this matter will be settled 100%. If we can’t take it out. . .”

“Then what else can he do? Anyway, it was him who crashed into the car, not us.” Vivian was panting heavily.

“But don’t you forget, even if the person was hit by him, once he summons all of us out, we will be the masterminds. At most, he will be an accomplice. If he is sentenced, we will be sentenced heavier than him.” Lucas immediately explained nervously.

“This bastard. He is threatening us on purpose.” Vivian

“Vivian, calm down first. We should not get angry with him discuss what we should do about this matter.”

“He said one million, but you didn’t tell him

He asked her to take out one million. Wouldn’t that be taking her life?

“But then again, he knocked Sarah quite hard this time. That one hundred thousand yuan was really not enough for him to pay. I told him. But he bit down on this number and said if it was any less. . . Then let’s split up. Anyway, he will reveal this matter. That person is famous for being shameless. We have no reason to reason with him. . .” Lucas explained helplessly.

Vivian immediately gave him a look of annoyance. “Who were you looking for? Back then, you patted your chest and said that there was no problem at all, but now. . . How long has it been since something happened? That Felix is already riding on our necks. Why did you have to look for someone like him when you were blind?” Vivian vented all the anger in her chest onto Lucas.

“My dear, calm down. Calm down. Aren’t we thinking of a way now? He is that kind of person. I heard him say that he did this kind of thing many times back then. That’s why I found him. I didn’t expect to meet such a tough person like Jasmine. If it wasn’t for Jasmine, this matter would have easily passed. Even if it was a little more money, there wouldn’t be so much. But now, Jasmine had hired a specialized lawyer. Think about the background of Wilson Group. If they really fought with the two of us, wouldn’t

we be the ones waiting to lose money? So this time, we’ll just treat it as stepping on dog shit and give that Felix a million yuan. What do you think?”

Lucas really wanted to use money to calm the situation, but the money wasn’t in his hands. He also had to look at Vivian’s expression and do what she wanted.

“What you said sounds good. What about a million? Where can I get it for him?”

“Then what should we do? Should we just let him summon both of us? Then let’s not talk about giving birth. I reckon that you will be chased out by the people of the Cooper Family before the child is even born.” Lucas refuted helplessly.

“But if we take out one million and he will still give us out, what will we do then?”

This was the thing that scared her the most. Although she didn’t think of such a bad result before, now that things had come to this point, she had to think of the worst.

“I think that’s impossible. Vivian, think about it. Even if the two of us are the main culprits, but the one who crashed into the car was him after all. Even if he was an accomplice, he also has to bear legal responsibility. He just received a million yuan. Then he sent himself to prison. He wasn’t a fool. So I can guarantee that as long as I give him one million, He’ll definitely settle this for us.”

“You also promised me the same thing in the beginning, but what happened in the end?” Vivian looked at him gloomily.

Lucas was speechless. He was silent for a moment and was about to say something when he heard his phone ring again. He picked it up to take a look.

It was Felix.

“He called again.”

“Answer it. I want to hear what he says.”

Lucas nodded and pressed the answer button.

“Lucas, have you thought about what I said?” Felix’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Felix, I know you did run into some trouble this time. But we agreed on 100,000 at the beginning. How can I take it out when you have increased so much all of a sudden?”

“I don’t care if you can take it out or not. Anyway, this matter is already like this. I didn’t mean to extort you. That lawyer of Jasmine Wilson came looking for me today. He said that the Buick was close to 300,000 yuan, plus the money for Sarah Wilson’s injury. No matter what, I want one million yuan. This is the price I want from you now. It doesn’t include my reward at all. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask.”

“That Jasmine Wilson has already said that she wants me to go bankrupt. She also said that no matter what, she would find evidence that I deliberately crashed the car, and that she wanted me to go to jail. If this matter really gets out of hand, at that time, you won’t even be able to solve this matter with a million yuan. This is my bottom line, I’ll let you think for the last time tonight. Think about it tonight, and give me a definite answer tomorrow morning. If it doesn’t work, don’t blame me for turning against you.”

After saying that, Felix didn’t give Lucas any chance to speak. He immediately hung up.
