The Contract Marriage

Chapter 46

Chapter 46 Mom, This is Your Daughter-In-Law

David looked at Sarah and then looked at the orange in Christian’s hands. He cleared his throat and took another orange to peel and place it in front of Sarah.

Sarah put the tea leaves away and took the teapot to the water dispenser to get hot water.

Christian looked at the orange on the coffee table and then looked at David with a faint smile, “Mr. Brown, isn’t your restaurant busy?”

“Not bad! I’m not very busy. Regimental Commander Cooper, you should be returning to the army soon after you get married, right?” Facing Christian’s cold eyes, David also smiled faintly.

“I don’t have this plan for the time being.”

“I heard from Sarah that your leg will recover after a period of time. How are you recovering now?” David’s gaze landed on Christian’s legs.

Sarah took the tea and walked over. When she heard David’s question, she did not wait Christian’s to answer and rushed over. “He is still recovering…”

She did not want Christian to be too embarrassed.

Just as Sarah finished speaking, she saw the door of the living room was opened from the outside. Samantha walked in with a bag of expensive things from outside.

Seeing this, Sarah immediately went over and took the things. “Mom, where did you go?”

Samantha smiled as she walked over, “Auntie Darla said that her second daughter brought some nutrition products from Germany. There are nutrition products specially used to treat leg injuries.

Because I helped her before, she insisted that I give these nutritional products to Christian to eat. When you guys leave, take this with you.”

When Christian heard his mother-in-law’s words, something complicated flashed across his eyes. He still looked at his mother-in-law and smiled. “Mom, Thank you!”

Samantha smiled. “We are family. You don’t have to be polite with me.”

Seeing Samantha come back, David stood up and wanted to leave. “Auntie, I still have some things to do in my restaurant. I will go back first.”

“No, you can’t go anywhere today. It was Sarah and Christian’s first day back. You should talk to them. Last time, we ate at your restaurant. You haven’t eaten at my house since you came back.” Christian immediately stopped David and refused to let him go.

“Yes, Mr. David. You can leave after lunch here.” Sarah also asked him to stay when she heard her mother ask David stay. Although she knew in her heart that he would definitely feel uncomfortable if he stayed, there were some things that she had to say.

“Alright! Then I’ll stay today!” David didn’t insist on this time and sat down again.

Because David was there for lunch, the atmosphere was quite lively. Christian was quite talkative today. He had talked a lot with David.

Of course, it was only about restaurant and army. Not long after lunch, David left. Sarah originally wanted to clean up the kitchen with Samantha but was pushed out by Samantha.

“You go and chat with Christian. Leave this place to me.”

Sarah came out of the kitchen and found that Christian was no longer in the living room. Seeing the door of the bathroom open, she immediately walked over.

She saw Christian turn his wheelchair around and wanted to close the door, but when he saw her walk over, he gave up.

“You want to go to the bathroom?”

As she spoke, she bit her lower lip and could not help but sigh in her heart. Before she got married, she really didn’t think that there were so many details that needed to be dealt with. Now, she was the only one in the family who could help him.

Christian nodded slightly and did not say anything.

Sarah let out a breath. She knew that she could not shirk this responsibility. She turned around and closed the bathroom door first. She looked at him and thought about what to do next. She did not know what to do.

“Then, let me help you…” After Sarah said this, she felt like biting her tongue to commit suicide.

Christian looked at her silently. His eyes moved for a moment and said slowly. “Forget it. I will call Jayson.”

“But can you hold on until he comes?” Sarah heard his words and immediately let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, this kind of intimate contact with him, she really could not accept it.

Christian did not say anything. He took out his phone and dialed Jayson’s number. After briefly explaining the situation, he immediately hung up. “He’s nearby. He’ll be here soon. You can go out first!”

Sarah felt a little sorry, but she could not do anything about this kind of thing. Biting her lips slightly, she walked out of the bathroom with a complicated feeling her heart.

Luckily, Jayson came very quickly. About five minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Sarah immediately went over and opened the door. Seeing him smile embarrassedly, she raised her fingers and pointed to the bathroom. Jayson immediately ran over and closed the door of the bathroom.

After a few minutes, Jayson pushed Christian out. He saw remotely controlled the wheelchair and came in front of Samantha.

“Mom, I asked the old specialist in the downtown hospital to see me in the afternoon. Jayson Sarah, you stay here.” After saying that, he controlled the wheelchair and was about to leave.

“Christian, let Sarah go with you! I have nothing to do anyway. Sarah, with Christian.” Samantha heard Christian’s words and wanted Sarah to go with her son-in-law.

“Alright!” Sarah nodded and went back to

The car slowly drove out of the neighborhood. Maybe it was because he was not feeling well, Christian leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes.

Fortunately, the neighborhood was not far from the hospital. They arrived at the hospital in about Christian’s wheelchair, and Sarah followed beside them. They went straight to the old expert’s office.

The old expert’s surname was Hee. It was Military Commander Myers, who was in Christian’s army, introduced him. Today was also the first time he and Christian met.

Because, they had already informed, once Jayson entered the ward he introduced him and Christian to Dr. Hee.

Dr. Hee nodded and walked in front of Christian to help him examine his body. Sarah quietly stood beside him. She listened to their question and answers.

In fact, from the beginning when she first came into contact with Christian, she had always thought that there was no hope of healing his legs. But now, when she listened to the old expert’s words, it seemed that there was still a possibility of healing his leg.

Although this man always liked to cause trouble for her and his attitude towards her was not good, but she still hoped that he could stand up and live like a healthy person. This way, when they were about to divorce three months later… She would be able to leave more at ease.

After asking Christian about his injuries, Dr. Hee took out his acupuncture bag. He started to perform acupuncture for Christian skillfully. After a while, Christian’s legs were full of silver needles.

Dr. Hee took out the needles and motioned for Sarah to help put the needles on the needles. Sarah put down the bag and walked over.

She imitated Dr. Hee and inserted all the silver needles into the needles into the needles before lighting them up one by one. After a while, the room was filled with the smell of acupuncture.

The whole process lasted for nearly an hour before it ended. When they left, Dr. Hee asked Christian to come back to the hospital three days later. The three of them thanked Dr. Hee and left his office. After walking about ten meters away, Sarah found that her bag was left in Dr. Hee’s office so she went back to retrieve it.

Dr. Hee saw her coming back and smiled. When Sarah thanked him and wanted to leave, she looked at Dr. Hee and asked, “Dr. Hee, may I ask if Christian’s leg can be cured?”

“This is hard to say for the time being. Let’s take a look in two half an hour every night. It will be very good for his leg injury.”

Sarah bit her lower lip and nodded. “Okay, I got it. Thank you, Dr. Hee!”

“This kind of pain is the most damaging to people’s confidence. I think Christian is a very arrogant young man. You have to take good care of him. If he is confident in his life, he will recover faster!”

“Yes, yes!” Sarah nodded her head and walked out of the office. She looked at Christian, who was sitting in a wheelchair not far away. Only now did she understand that Christian’s leg injury was very serious.

When Sarah walked out and saw Christian and Jayson were waiting not far away. She ran over and three of them went out of the hospital together.

When Sarah got in the car, she noticed that Jayson did not get in the car. She understood that Christian wanted to say something to her, so she turned to look at him.

“What do you want to say to me?”

Christian looked at her and slowly retracted his gaze. He looked in front of him and spoke slowly.

“Although we only have an arranged marriage, you are my wife and the daughter-in-law of Cooper Family. I want to take you to see someone today!”

“Who is it?” Sarah was a little puzzled. She had already seen all the people from the Cooper family. This person was his comrade?

“My mother…” Christian said faintly.

Sarah was stunned. All these years, she had followed Julian in and out of the Cooper family. Therefore, she knew that Christian’s mother had passed away a long time ago. Now she heard his speak, she understood that this was a very serious matter.

She originally wanted to refuse because she did not want to lie to an old man who had passed away. But when she recalled what Specialist Hee just said, she hesitated for a moment, but still nodded:

“Okay.”

The car drove out of the hospital very quickly, heading towards the cemetery of the city. Maybe it was because he thought of those sad memories, Christian’s face had always been gloomy. Sarah had also lost her father, so she understood his current mood very well. She turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

When the car arrived at the foot of the cemetery, it was exactly three o’ clock in the afternoon. Jayson parked the car and helped Christian to the wheelchair.

Because this was a graveyard, there were many vendors selling flowers on both sides of the road. Christian controlled his wheelchair to buy a bunch of white chrysanthemums and put them on his legs. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Although this mountain was not very high, Sarah still used some strength to push Christian’s wheelchair. Fortunately, Jayson was there. She just quietly followed the two of them.

After ten minutes later, they finally stopped in front of Christian’s mother’s tombstone. Jayson stepped to the side.

Christian handed the fresh flowers to Sarah, who immediately received them and respectfully placed them in front of his mother’s tombstone. She then stood beside him.

“Mom, this is your daughter-in-law. Her name is Sarah. I brought her here today to let you take a look…” After Christian finished speaking, he immediately looked up at Sarah. “Say hello to Mom…”

Sarah nodded silently. She looked at Christian’s mom’s tombstone and respectfully bowed.

“Mom, I am Sarah, your daughter-in-law. I will take good care of Christian. Don’t worry.”
