An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 135

Before Margaret could say anything, Christopher strode toward Jenson and punched the latter. “Mr. Swanson, tsk! I wonder why you've invited my wife out of the office.”

Blood seeped out from the corner of Jenson’s lips. The man clenched his fists but did not return the blow. “I admit that I'm at fault here, so I'll accept this punch from you. However, there isn't anything inappropriate going on between Meg and me, so don't put her in a difficult spot.”

Nevertheless, Christopher rolled up his sleeves and loosened his tie. It seemed like he was not going to stop there. “Mind your words. Who do you think you are, huh?”

It was Margaret's first time seeing Christopher behaving that way, so she was frightened out of her wits. Despite the pain, she clenched her teeth and shielded Jenson. “Christopher, it has nothing to do with him! Our car was right beside the road back then->

Before she could finish her sentence, Christopher suddenly laughed. “Our? Ha. Very well, Margaret. “Our’! Whose b*stard child did you lose today?"

B*stard child?

Margaret's mind imploded. “It's... It's yours... The baby's not a b*stard child...”

Unable to hold himself back anymore, Jenson roared, “Christopher Lewis, do you have to be suspicious of that? Don't you know well whose child it is?”

Christopher then shoved Margaret away and grabbed Jenson’s collar. “Shut up!”

Losing her balance, Margaret fell to the foot of the bed. Instantly, a sharp pain spread from her abdomen to every corner of her body.

Cold sweat drenched her in seconds, and she tried but failed to rise to her feet a few times, Noticing that, Noah muttered, “Mr. Lewis, Mrs. Lewis, she...”

Christopher then turned to look at Margaret. Finally, he gnashed his teeth and let go of Jenson before glaring at her. “You owe me an explanation!”

Jenson's first response was to help Margaret up, but Noah hastily stopped him. “Mr. Swanson, please leave first. This is now the Lewis family’s personal matter. Please don't intervene.”

Tenson understood what Noah meant. He cast one last worried look at Margaret and hesitated before trudging toward the door.

There were things he wanted to say, but he did not know if he should say them at that moment. One wrong word and a fight would break out. Margaret would be trapped between a rock and a hard place in that case.

After exiting the room, Noah closed the door behind him, leaving Margaret and Christopher alone in the room

A moment of silence later, Christopher stated, “You've really let me down.”

Margaret, who was sitting on the cold, hard floor, lowered her eyes and bit her lips. “Sorry. I never once made you feel happy since young.”

"What's with the child?” he asked, steering the topic back to the baby.

“I haven't thought of how I should tell you about it...Margaret managed to stop her tears, but she could not stop her body from shaking like a leaf.

“Is it mine?" he hissed, staring at her the entire time.

"Am I that easy of a person to you?” The smile was still on Margaret's ashen face.

Again, the ward fell silent. Looking at her miserable look made frustration spike in Christopher. All of a sudden, he shot forward to grab her and threw her on the bed. “Stop playing the pity card! If the child is mine, and if you wanted to leave that badly, you should've told me right away! Why did you hide this from me, huh? You never thought of keeping the child, did you? That means one thing— the child has nothing to do with the Lewis family!”

His words bombarded her like a barrage of bullets, and she could barely breathe under the weight of them. The words died in her mind before slie could even form them in her mouth.

In the end, Christopher kicked the door open and left. A while after, Elizabeth rushed to the hospital. "Meg, why did something like this happen?”

Margaret did not answer her. She just leaned against the headboard and quietly cried.

Elizabeth's heart broke at the sight of that. She carefully wiped Margaret's tears away and consoled, “Don’t cry, don't cry. You can't cry after what happened. It won't be good for your health, Lie down now. You can have another child next time, so you can't neglect your body like this now.”
