hapter 3 Hearing this , Francesca pouted and whined , " Christopher , don't you want a baby with me ? " " Of course I do . Dating , engagement , marriage , kids - I want to take it step by step with you . " After speaking , Christopher glanced at Adeline out of the corner of his eye . But she just did as she was told . After finding the pharmacy , Adeline quickly started looking for painkillers . But everything in her eyes became blurry . Forget finding them - she collapsed to the floor in pain . The pharmacy staff saw her pale face and rushed over to help . " I need some painkillers , anything that works quickly ... " The staff quickly found the medicine . Adeline snatched it and swallowed , taking big , deep breaths . A few minutes later , after paying , Adeline thanked the staff and rushed back . She froze as she opened the door - the moans were back . They were at it again , seemingly tireless . Every sound hit her like a knife to the heart . The pain spread through her whole body . Even her stomachache didn't compare . Back then , Christopher never promised marriage when he was with other women . Now , his bride was the woman Adeline hated the most - Francesca . Once it went quiet inside , she opened the door and handed the birth control pills to Francesca . While doing so , she accidentally dropped the painkillers she'd just bought . She grabbed them quickly and clutched the bottle tightly , afraid Christopher would notice . But he had already seen the birth control pills . Seeing the two obviously different bottles , he asked , " What medicine are you taking ? " 0.00 % 06:36 Chapter 3 288 Vouchers " N ... nothing , just vitamin C. " His gaze fell on her hand , tightly gripping the bottle . Francesca broke the tension , whining , " It's so bitter . " Christopher pulled her into his arms , teasing , " Why are you acting like a little kid , complaining about medicine ? " Then he left , holding Francesca close . Adeline finally let out a sigh of relief and took a taxi to the hospital . In the ICU , she looked at her brother , Leonardo Torres , lying in the bed , hoping they'd find a bone marrow match . Then she grabbed a towel and wiped him down . The two nurses outside didn't know their relationship . Watching Adeline take care of him , they couldn't help but admire her . " Ms. Mitchell is so loyal . That man's been out cold forever , and it takes so much time and effort , but she's not giving up ... " Every word reached Christopher's ears . He rushed forward and saw the man on the bed . That familiar face instantly brought him back five years . Adeline had hugged that man sweetly , making it clear she was over Christopher and ready to break up . He had begged her from behind the car . Even when he was hit by a car and lying in a pool of blood , she didn't look back once . The pity he'd just started feeling vanished again . After leaving the ward , Adeline went to the payment hall . She transferred all her savings to cover the medical bills . " You really are stubborn . Making money like crazy , even at the cost of your dignity ... do you love him that much ? " Seeing Christopher appear here , Adeline felt a little lost . Back then , his mom forced her to bring her brother and act like she'd moved on . Thinking about that misunderstanding , she didn't get a chance to explain before Christopher grabbed her hands and dragged her into the car . He tore off her skirt and pressed his lips to hers . 42.16 % 06:36 Chapter 3 *** 288 Vouchers Afterwards , he covered her in kisses . She pulled her clothes back on and glanced at the payment record on her screen , laughing at herself . This was just Christopher's way of humiliating her . She finally accepted it . " Thank you .
