Chapter 63

She did not expect things to turn out so disastrously due to a misunderstanding. Now, many others were

dragged into the issue.

The contents of the news report agitated her greatly. Hence, her chest moved up and down furiously as

she struggled to breathe.

Hurriedly, Elizabeth snatched the phone away. “Meg, stop looking at it! The most important thing right

now is for you to rest and recuperate. As long as Mr. Lewis believes you, you‘ll be fine. Do you

understand?”

Margaret remained silent. How could Christopher trust me?He has never trusted me even from the start...

Upon seeing her distressed state, Elizabeth‘s heart ached for Margaret. Unfortunately, she was unable to

help her.

When nighttime arrived, Elizabeth was forced by Margaret to return home. Margaret did not want the

other woman to stay with her at the hospital since she only had a slight cold and could take care of

herself. By the next day, Margaret could be discharged.

Perhaps it was because she had slept too much in the daytime, but Margaret could not sleep then. She

closed her eyes and lay on the hospital bed while contemplating many things.

Suddenly, someone outside the hospital room yelled, “What‘re you doing?”

Hearing this, Margaret jumped in shock. Her eyes shot open just in time to see someone‘s face

disappear from the window on her room door! Who was spying on me?

Haunted by that thought, she did not dare to remain in the hospital any longer. She packed her things

and left the place, still wearing her hospital gown. She did not even go through the discharge

procedures.

Upon returning to the Lewis residence, all was quiet and still. The only thing that remained was the light

emanating from the road lamps in the garden and the main door. Christopher was not at home.

Then, Margaret went to her room and wrapped herself up tightly in the blanket. Gradually, she calmed

down. As expected, the atmosphere at home is different from other places...

Meanwhile, at the hospital.

A tall figure slowly approached Margaret‘s room before his long fingers gently pushed open the door.

When he saw that the bed was empty, the man paused in shock. Thereafter, he turned and rushed

toward the nurses‘ station. He exclaimed, “Where did the patient in Bed 23 go?”

The nurse on duty was terrified by the man‘s frosty countenance. She quickly went to check the hospital

room. Ultimately, she stammered, “I–I don‘t know..

Coldly, the man commanded, “Examine the surveillance cameras!”

After four hours had passed, Christopher dragged his weary body back to the Lewis residence. It was

already past six in the morning. At that moment, Elizabeth was preparing breakfast for Margaret. Noticing

Christopher, she subconsciously asked, “Mr. Lewis? Have you just returned home?”

Christopher mildly replied, “Yes.” Following that, he speedily went up the stairs. When he caught sight of

the sleeping Margaret on the bed, the tension disappeared from his body. Just as he was about to turn

and leave, the person lying on the bed opened her eyes. She said, “You‘re back?”

Hearing her hoarse voice, Christopher‘s footsteps faltered for the slightest moment. Nonetheless, he did

not stop moving forward.

Downstairs, Elizabeth talked to Noah, who had accompanied Christopher back home. She questioned,

“Why did Mr. Lewis return home so late? Has something happened?”

Quietly, Noah answered, “Mr. Lewis went to the hospital last night. When he saw that Mrs. Lewis was

missing from the room, he looked for her via the surveillance cameras for four hours...”

Just then, Noah noticed the person walking down the stairs. He immediately fell silent.

After listening to Noah‘s explanation, Elizabeth had an understanding of the events that transpired.

Therefore, she proceeded toward Christopher and inquired, “Mr. Lewis, do you want some breakfast?”

There was an unknown expression on Christopher‘s face as he said, “No.” With that, he rapidly left the

Lewis residence,

When Margaret finally rose from her bed, Elizabeth brought the breakfast to the

dining table. The housekeeper smiled and voiced out, “Meg, why did you abruptly leave the hospital last

night? You didn‘t even call me to pick you up. Mr. Lewis went to the hospital to check on you yesterday.

Upon realizing that you weren‘t there, he tried to find you for four hours. You can‘t do this again next

time.....

Margaret was shocked to hear that. Nevertheless, she regained her composure shortly after. Then, she

uttered, “Yeah... Elizabeth, if you‘re free later on, please help me with my discharge procedures. It‘s New

Year‘s Eve tomorrow, so I didn‘t want to spoil the merry atmosphere due to my sickness. It‘s fine.”

Hesitating for a while, Elizabeth finally spoke. “Meg... It‘s New Year‘s Eve tomorrow. Why don‘t you let

Mr. Lewis come home? Both of you have led miserable lives. Hence, the two of you should come

together to liven up the atmosphere of the residence. It feels so empty.”
