The Contract Marriage

Chapter 234

“Hey, Felix. Felix.” Lucas shouted a few times. He turned his head and looked at Vivian beside him. He shrugged helplessly and said, “He hung up.”

“Call him again.”

“Okay.” Lucas nodded and called Felix again. However, he received a message from his phone that Felix had already turned off his phone.

Lucas sighed and threw the phone directly onto the coffee table. “He turned off his phone directly. I remember now. He doesn’t use his phone number often. It only opens when he contact me. This kid is also very slippery. Afraid that the police will catch him. Vivian, what should we do now?”

Vivian frowned and looked at the phone on the table. Then she stood up gloomily and walked back and forth in the living room while stroking her stomach.

Finally, she sat on the sofa and bit her lips. “Okay. One million it is. We admit defeat this time.”

At this point, she didn’t have any other methods, and she could only wait to be slaughtered.

“But a million, where are we going to get it?” Lucas looked at her, not knowing what to do.

“What about the five hundred thousand I gave you last time?”

“I had to pay my debt a long time ago. Now I only have a few tens of thousands left. . .”

Vivian looked at him. “Got it. Then I’ll go back first.”

“Vivian. . .” Lucas looked at her worriedly.

“This matter can only be done according to what Felix said. In fact, what he said was right. If it wasn’t for Jasmine killing her way out, this matter would have been easy to settle. Sigh, let’s count ourselves

unlucky.” Vivian sighed gloomily and then looked at Lucas, “You send me back first.”

“Okay.”

The two of them went out the door and Lucas sent Vivian downstairs. Seeing that she went upstairs, he felt relieved and left.

When Vivian returned home, she first ran into her bedroom. Actually, when she and Julian were not married yet, Julian had given her a lot of pocket money.

Usually, she would not be willing to spend it, so she had saved all of it. She put all the cards and deposits together. Adding them up, she was still short of 100,000 yuan.

She sat on the bed and thought for a while. Finally, she remembered the bank card Julian gave her parents when she got married. There seemed to be a hundred thousand yuan in it.

She bit her lower lip and got up to leave the room. She made up a random reason and Mrs. Holmes heard that her daughter needed money. She immediately gave the bank card back to her daughter.

Seeing that she had gathered one million, Vivian then called Lucas and told him to tell Felix tomorrow morning that the money would be given to him tomorrow.

Christian’s comrade was the Director of the Public Security Bureau, so it was a piece of cake to investigate Felix’s information.

That afternoon, Christian received a call from his comrade. He looked at his wife who was still sleeping on the bed. Christian took his phone and walked out of the ward. He closed the door of the room and called his comrade again.

“Christian, I have found out about this person. Felix was usually an idler. He used to drive cars and crash cars to get insurance. He had never made a mistake, but this time he insisted that he was drunk

driving. Furthermore, the traffic police on duty had also tested him on alcohol, proving that he had indeed drunk a lot of alcohol. And judging from the incident this time, He doesn’t have the suspicion of cheating insurance, so this accident can only be determined to be an ordinary drunk driver.”

“Does this person usually have the habit of getting drunk? The accident happened at around that time, there were very few people who got drunk.”

Christian was the most confused about this place. It was really rare to meet someone who was drunk early in the morning. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it was suspicious.

“I have asked someone to investigate it. This person is usually a famous person who drinks all the time. He gets drunk every few days. He was investigated once because of drunk driving. He stopped for a while after he was fined. I didn’t expect that there would be an accident this time.” Warren told Christian everything that he had found out.

“Did you check his phone number? Did he call the number I gave you?”

Christian was very careful when he sent messages to his comrades. He also sent Vivian’s phone number. He asked Warren to check if this number had been used with Felix recently.

Because when the traffic accident happened to Sarah, Vivian was the first person to inform to know and called Ethan to conform. This made Christian somewhat doubt her motive.

“I’ve also checked his call records. His recent phone records are all some of his friends. I really didn’t find any other strangers. However, even if there was a connection, if he bought a new phone number and only used it once or twice, it wouldn’t be easy to check.”

“Mm, alright, I understand. Thank you. I’ll treat you to a drink later.”

“You’re being polite to me again, right?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go ahead, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

“Okay.”

Christian smiled and hung up with his comrade. He sat in the waiting chair in the corridor and was silent for a while.

He remembered David telling him that Jasmine was also investigating about his wife’s accident. He found Jasmine’s number and called her again.

“Hello, I am Sarah’s husband, Christian Cooper.”

Jasmine was not surprised at all when she received Christian’s call. She smiled when she heard his words. “I have been waiting for your call. I knew you would definitely call me. Tell me, what do you want to know?”

“I want to know if you have found anything suspicious.” Knowing that Jasmine was a straightforward person, Christian went straight to the point.

“The culprit, Felix, had cheated a car accident several times to protect himself, and was later found out once. But this time he was drunk driving, because the traffic police also had evidence that he was drunk driving, which was why he crashed into Sarah’s car. Although he had a criminal record, even so, it could not prove that he hit the car on purpose, because his car was too old. There was no suspicion that he had hit the car and cheated the guarantor, so now he could only be identified as drunk driving. We can only do our best to claim compensation.”

Even though Jasmine had asked the lawyer to investigate from the day Sarah got into the car accident, even so, it could not prove that the other party had intentionally hit Sarah’s car. At most, it was just a drunk driver driving. She could only ask Felix to compensate a little more.

Christian frowned. He understood that this was the only thing she could do, but he still said gratefully, “Thank you, Vice President Wilson. You are so concerned about my wife’s matter.”

“Military Commander Cooper, my sister is the one who is injured now, so you don’t have to thank me. If there is anything in the future, just call me.”

“Okay.”

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Christian hung up the phone, put it away, and walked back into the ward. When he walked to the bedside and sat down, he saw his wife’s fingers moving. Then, he saw her open her eyes and smile at him.

“You’re awake?” Christian immediately held the little wife’s hand and kissed her lips.

“Have you been here with me?” Sarah did not expect to see him after waking up. A happy smile appeared on her face.

“Don’t you like it?” Christian asked with a smile.

“Yes. But. . . How many days did you take leave?”

“Baby, because of the busy work in the army, I only have three days of leave. After three days, I have to go back. I’m sorry. . .”

When his wife needed him the most, even if he saw her lying on the bed, he still could not stay for a few more days.

He had no choice, he was a soldier. It was the duty of a soldier to obey orders.

Knowing that he was not feeling well, Sarah looked at Christian and smiled. “Hubby, you don’t have to apologize to me. . . I understand. You are a citizen of the country. But I am still grateful for the car accident. At least I saw you again.”

After Sarah finished speaking, she laughed foolishly.

Christian’s eyes turned red when he heard his wife’s words. He reached out his hand and caressed her small face in pain. “Silly, do you know that I was scared to death when I heard that you had a car accident? I didn’t feel like this even when I went to the battlefield for the first time. I was afraid that something will happen to you. No matter what happens in the future, don’t scare me like this. Do you understand?”

Sarah immediately nodded obediently and looked at him with a cute smile. “Do you think you will never see me again?”

Christian immediately put his hand on her lips. “You are not allowed to say such things in the future. After waiting for nine years, I was finally able to marry you. I just want you to be safe. I want you to walk with me until you get old. Do you understand?”

Hearing what he said, although there was some pain in her body, but in her heart, there was an indescribable joy and happiness.

Sarah looked at him and lightly blinked her eyes. “Then I won’t be working in the future. Until the child is born, I will stay at home, alright?”

This encounter. . . Thinking about it now, she still had some lingering fears. No matter what, she didn’t dare to take the child’s life as a joke.

Christian heard his wife’s words and instantly let out a sigh of relief. He held his wife’s hand tightly. “Baby, I was waiting for you to say this. After you are discharged from the hospital this time, you will stay at your mother’s house and take good care of yourself. Don’t go anywhere, okay?”

Sarah nodded obediently. “Yes, I understand.”

While the two of them were talking, the door of the ward was pushed open. Samantha walked in with two Insulating Tubes in her hands. She looked at her daughter and son-in-law and smiled. “Christian, I went home to make some fish soup. It is still hot now. You feed Sarah.”

Samantha said as she walked to the bedside. Christian reached out and took the Insulating Tube.

“Mom, did the doctor allow Sarah to eat now?” Christian asked worriedly.

Samantha nodded. “Of course. She had been unconscious for the past two days and had been suffering from intravenous drip every day. How could a person endure it? It is still better for people who eat grains to be healthier.”
