An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 126

It did not take Margaret long to figure out it was Elizabeth who informed Christopher about her condition. Otherwise, he would not have returned so suddenly and even brought her some medicine.

Looking at her icily, Christopher said, “I didn't rush home from work just to see you throwing a tantrum at me. Take medicine if you feel sick!”

That made Margaret speechless. When was I even throwing a tantrum? I'm just feeling under the weather. “I'm not throwing a tantrum... I'm fine, really. I don't need to take any medication right now. You should go back to work if you're busy.”

To her surprise, when those words fell from her lips, they did sound like she was sulking. At the same time, it seemed like she was blaming him for neglecting her because of work.

Both of them were at an impasse for a moment before Elizabeth brought a glass of water and knocked on the door, which was ajar. “You should listen to Mr. Lewis and take the medication. Mrs. Lewis. He's concerned about you.”

The young woman could feel a headache coming her way. “I... I feel fine now. You two don't have to worry about me.”

Elizabeth then placed the glass of water in her hand and passed her the pills. “Mrs. Lewis, you're not a child anymore. You should be responsible for your own health. Come on, take your medicine.” Margaret was a bundle of nerves under Christopher's and Elizabeth's watchful gazes. It felt like she had no other option but to take the medication instead. However, her current state forbade her from taking any. “I'm not having gastric pain, so I don't have to take any pills. He still has work to do at the office, Elizabeth. Why don't you send him out? I'll be fine after I get some rest.”

Elizabeth was in a dilemma. “Mrs. Lewis, I..."

By then, Christopher had lost his patience. With a frosty countenance, he turned around to leave, “Never mind if she refuses to take the medication. Don't bother about her anymore. And please don't call me again for reasons like this. I don’t have so much time to spare!”

The older woman shot Margaret a look of disapproval and hurriedly followed him downstairs "Don’t get mad, Mr. Lewis. Mrs. Lewis is just upset that you're always not

around to keep her company. I suppose that's why she decided to throw a tantrum. That's how women are... You should know her very well since you watched her grow

up.”

Christopher slowed his pace but did not stop. “Can't she just say what's on her mind? Why does she need someone else to convey her thoughts?”

With that, Elizabeth could only remain silent. When Noah saw Christopher was ready to head out again, he rushed toward the garage to get the car, but the latter stopped him by saying, “I'll drive there myself.”

“Understood” Noah replied as his palms turned sweaty. Christopher's expression was as black as thunder at that moment, and anyone who dared to offend him would be equivalent to seeking death.

“Noah, I want you to take Margaret to the hospital tomorrow morning and have her undergo a complete medical checkup. Bring me the medical report once it is ready.” Christopher gave his orders to Noah and sped away into the night.

Upon hearing the sound of a car speeding away from the Lewis residence, Margaret got down from the bed and stood in front of the window. As she watched Christopher's car disappear from her sight, she felt regretful for her attitude toward him. After all, he had deliberately bought some medicine for her as soon as he knew she was unwell, yet the situation soured.

She took out her phone and texted Christopher: I'm sorry. I was just exhausted after coming home. I'm fine. Thanks for your concern.

Although her text message remained unanswered even after some time, her state of mind was different that time around because, for some reason, she looked forward to receiving his reply. Sadly, it was still the same as before-he did not respond to her.

After leaving the Lewis residence, Christopher did not return for the whole night. When Margaret awoke the next morning, Noah was already waiting for her downstairs. “Mrs. Lewis, I've been instructed by Mr. Lewis to bring you to the hospital for a medical checkup... And I have to give him the medical report once it's ready.”

Her heart skipped a beat. “I... I have other matters to attend to, so I can't go to the hospital right now. I'll just go there by myself when I'm free.”!

With a troubled face, Noah replied, “Mrs. Lewis, please don't give me a hard time. I must carry out Mr. Lewis’ instructions...”

Margaret knew that even though Christopher had a gentle and mild image in public, those close to him knew very well about his temperament. Thus, she did not want to put Noah in a tight spot.
