Chapter 16 Chapter 16: Get Out Of Here
Obviously, he didn’t believe what Estelle had said.
Estelle suddenly regretted saying this to him.
Just now, she had made up her mind not to explain to Cristofer. However, she still remained a ray of hope for him, so she told him about their child.
But Cristofer’s reaction told her that what she did was nothing but inviting humiliation.
“I heard your conversation outside the door just now. You have known this man for six years, which is 2192 days. To save the child, you returned to Hadale alone. It is also this man who has been taking care of the child abroad these years, right?”
“I’m indeed taking care of the child,” James suddenly said. He had been standing aside and couldn’t stand Cristofer’s attitude anymore.
“Mr. Hans, nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you. There is a legend about you in the business circle. You built a business empire in just two years, and it’s said that you are a genius. But today, I find that it’s just an undeserved reputation. You may be a genius in business, but you are no good at dealing with your marriage.”
Cristofer sneered and said, “Sir, I don’t need a stranger like you to judge what kind of person I am.”
Seeing this, Estelle struggled to stand up. Then she covered her aching incision with one hand and gently pushed James with the other.
“Mr. Harris, thank you for coming to see me. You may go back first. I can handle everything myself,” She urged him.
As a lawyer, James was always calm and composed. He couldn’t help but speak for Estelle just now because he couldn’t bear to see Cristofer treat her so badly.
But he also knew that he was an outsider and shouldn’t say anything more in such a situation.
James patted Estelle on the shoulder gently and said, “Have a good rest. Don’t worry about the children. I’ll take care of them.”
“Okay. Thank…" When Estelle wanted to thank him, she suddenly remembered what he had just said, so she shut up immediately and then looked at James with an embarrassed look.
Noticing the embarrassment on her face, James smiled and said gently, “It’s okay. Take it easy. Don’t push yourself too hard in everything. Besides, as your friend and a lawyer, I advise you to get a divorce as soon as possible. If you need a lawyer, call me at any time.”
Estelle nodded. “I see.”
Cristofer, who was still standing at the door, didn’t move or make way for him when James walked to the door.
She didn’t know whom he was competing with.
“Mr. Hans, excuse me,” said James.
Frowning tightly, Cristofer stared at him for a long time before he finally took a small step aside.
James then had to walk sideways out of the ward.
After watching James leave, Estelle breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the bed.
It seemed that the effect of the anesthetic was wearing off, and the incision on her chest was getting more and more painful.
“You don’t want him to go?” Cristofer asked tonelessly. “He has gone. Do you need me to ask him to come back?”
Estelle frowned and closed her eyes. When the pain subsided a little, she said weakly, “Yes, I don’t want him to leave. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
“Humph,” Cristofer sneered. “You finally admit it.”
“Admit what?”
“You’ve known him for six years, and the child is five years old now. He’s the child’s father, right?” Cristofer said. “No wonder he is willing to raise the child for so many years. If he is not the child’s father, he couldn’t have done such a thing.”
“…” Estelle was speechless.
“Estelle, you deceived me into coming to see you again and again with different excuses. Last time, you used getting divorced as an excuse. What’s your excuse this time? Will you die soon? Or you ever gave birth to a child for me.”
"…"
“Estelle, can’t you think up a better excuse?”
“Get out of here,” Estelle suddenly said.
“What?” Cristofer was stunned.
“I said, get out of here,” Estelle said calmly, pointing in the direction of the door. “You’re just here to see if I am dead or not, aren’t you? Now you’ve seen that I am not only alive but also in the mood to flirt with another man. And I even have the energy to lie to you by saying that my child with another man is yours. Now you’ve known everything. If you don’t have any other questions, get out of here, and I don’t want to see you anymore!”
Seeing her lose her temper, Cristofer was stunned and stood there silently for several minutes.
In his memory, Estelle had been gentle in the past few years. And whenever she talked to him, she would show a good attitude. She had never been so emotional before.
When Peter told him that Estelle had a five-year-old son who was having an operation and her life was also in danger, he drove here immediately, pressing the accelerator hard all the way.
The child was five years old, which meant Estelle was pregnant six years ago when he was still with Estelle.
When Cristofer thought that the child might be his, his heart beat faster.
But at the same time, he felt annoyed.
In his heart, Estelle was the one who plotted the car accident that caused his parents’ death, and she was his enemy. He shouldn’t care about his enemy so much.
All these thoughts made Cristofer’s mind in a mess. And he didn’t know whether he was anxious because of Estelle or the child. He was anxious to see Estelle at once.
However, when he rushed to the ward, he heard the conversation between Estelle and James.
James said that he had known Estelle for six years.
He said that he wanted her to accept him.
He also said that she looked beautiful when smiling.
Cristofer then misunderstood Estelle and thought that she had deceived him again.
He suddenly felt that what he had done was so foolish and ridiculous.
Even if he didn’t believe Estelle, he still came to the hospital when he heard that her life was in danger.
