The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 240 She Knelt Down

Vivian and Julian were woken up by a knock on the door the second morning.

Vivian thought that it might be her cousin. She asked Julian to get her a coat and walked to the door. She opened

the door and saw that it was indeed Ruby.

Ruby was holding the bag she had brought yesterday. Her eyes were red and swollen as she stood at the door.

"Ruby, what are you doing?" Vivian looked at Ruby in front of her and instantly understood that she was planning to

leave Cooper Family. She immediately asked nervously.

Ruby lowered her head. "Big Sister, I want to go back. I can't serve you anymore in the future. . ." Finishing, she

turned around and was about to leave but was grabbed by Vivian's.

"Even if you want to leave, wait for sister for a talk before leaving, okay?"

Ruby bit her lips and kept silent.

"No matter what, I brought you here. If you just go back like this, Uncle will scold me to death, won’t he? Go back to

the room and wait for sister for a while. Sister still has something to say. Okay?"

Vivian said as she pushed Ruby back to the guest room next door and let her sit by the bed, “You see that sister is

still pregnant. I know you feel wronged but I still have some things to say. Wait for me here for a while and I will go

and put on my clothes. Okay?"

Ruby finally nodded her head in silence.

"Wait for me, ah. . ." Vivian saw that she finally agreed and immediately went back to her room. She quickly put on

her clothes and let Julian go downstairs first before going to Ruby's room. When she walked in, she closed the door

first and then went to sit beside Ruby.

"Ruby, sister will apologize to you first. You don't know, there are four or five bottles of perfume on my dressing

table. I don't know why I took the wrong perfume, which is why Julian did that. It's all my fault, if you want to blame.

. . Blame me."

After Vivian finished speaking, she immediately knelt down in front of Ruby.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Ruby was a soft-hearted girl, how could she receive such a big bow?

When she saw Vivian kneeling down for herself, she was so scared that she immediately stood up and reached out

to help Vivian up, "Sister, quickly get up."

Vivian knelt and did not move as she looked at Ruby tightly grabbing onto her hand. Her eyes instantly turned red,

"Ruby, I know that your family's situation is not good. Originally I wanted to bring you over to earn some money to

supplement the family's expenses, but who knew. . . Who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen. .

. It was all my fault. It was older sister who let you down. . ."

"Big sister, don't say anymore. . . Quickly get up. . ." Ruby stretched out her hand and tried to lift Vivian up, but

Vivian's body was very heavy now and she could not lift her up at all.

"If you forgive me, I will get up. . ."

Ruby bit her lips and looked elsewhere.

"Ruby, hit sister. It's all my fault." Vivian looked at her expression. Picking up Ruby hand, she hit her own face.

Ruby's tears immediately fell. Hearing Vivian's words, she could no longer bear to see Vivian kneeling in front of her

and nodded against her heart, "Sister, I will forgive you.”

After saying that, she lowered her head in grievance.

"Really? You're really willing to forgive me?" Vivian grabbed her arm tightly.

Ruby once again helped her up and this time Vivian also stood up.

The two of them sat beside the bed and Vivian grabbed her hand, "Ruby. The matter has already happened and

none of us can do anything about it. I discussed it with Julian. If you don't mind, then continue doing it in our house.

I'll raise your salary to five thousand a month. What do you think?"

Ruby lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing that she did not speak, Vivian continued, "Other than this 5,000 yuan, I know that your father is currently ill.

Because your family is poor, he does not have the money to go to the hospital to treat his illness. I have discussed

with Julian and will give you 100,000 yuan to treat your father's illness. Your salary here is still at 5,000 yuan. Do you

think it will be okay?"

When Ruby heard that Vivian could treat her father's illness, she looked up at Vivian. She asked in disbelief, "Sister,

is what you said true? Are you really willing to give money to treat my father's illness?"

100,000 yuan was a huge sum of money for a family like theirs. If she could cure her father's illness this time, she

would admit it.

"Of course. Sister will definitely be able to do it." Vivian immediately nodded her head.

Ruby bit her lips and hesitated for a moment before nodding her head, "Okay. Sister, I will listen to you. I am not

leaving. . ."

Vivian immediately let out a sigh of relief and grabbed her hand as she smiled, "Great. Thank you, Ruby. Don't

worry, Big Sister will definitely make it up to you."

Ruby listened to her and lowered her head. She twisted the corner of her shirt and said in a low voice, "No need,

these are enough. . ."

"But Ruby. . . If someone in the family asks later. . ."

"Don't worry. . . I won't tell anyone. . . "

"Thank you Ruby. . . But there is still uncle. . . "

Ruby lowered her head and replied. "I will not tell anyone. . . "

Vivian smiled in relief and reached out to take the bag from her hand and place it on the bed. "Ruby, after

breakfast later, I will bring you out to see the city. You have not been to here, right?"

Ruby shook her head.

"Today, I will bring you to take a look. I will go wash up first. You also need to wash up. Look at your swollen eyes.

Madam will definitely ask later. Think about how to answer properly. I will go back first."

Vivian stood up as she spoke. She looked at Ruby who still had her head down and turned around to walk out of her

room. The moment the door was gently closed, Vivian's heart was filled with joy.

When Ruby went downstairs, Daphne really saw the strange expression on her face but she was tactful and did not

ask Ruby.

During breakfast, Daphne looked at Vivian and asked, "Vivian, what happened to the girl you brought? I think she

seemed to have cried before."

When Daphne finished speaking, Ethan and Benjamin also looked towards Vivian.

Julian also looked at Vivian who was beside him nervously. He was more or less nervous, afraid that she would

reveal what he had done.

Vivian looked at mother-in-law and smiled, "Mom, there is nothing much. It is just that Ruby has never left home.

She might not be able to sleep in another place after staying at our house for one night. So she missed home. In

the morning, she stood at the door of our bedroom with a bag in her arms. I was shocked when I saw her and

thought that something had happened to her. After asking, I found out that she missed home."

Daphne immediately twitched her mouth when she heard that. "She is already twenty-two, right? She still misses

home at such a big age?"

Ethan heard Daphne's words and said with some displeasure on his face. "Even if you are eighty years old, you still

want to go home. Otherwise, those people living overseas wouldn't want to return to their roots. What's wrong with

missing home? It means that this child is not bad."

Vivian heard Ethan's words and immediately nodded her head in agreement. "Dad is right. Ruby was very kind, but

sometimes she was soft-hearted, so this kind of person was especially attached to the family. But after I guided her

for a while, she has already thought things through."

"That's good."

Julian also heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Vivian's words.

…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

No matter how unwilling Christian was to part with his little wife, he still had to return to the army.

Early in the morning, Christian helped Sarah clean up and then fed the breakfast that Samantha brought to Sarah.

Only then did he sit beside her and gently hold her hand.

However, no matter how reluctant he was, he still had to leave.

"You don't have to worry about me. Mom is here to take care of me. There's also Mr. David and Ms. Jasmine. I will

be fine." Seeing the reluctance in Christian's eyes, Sarah did not wait for him to speak and comforted him with a

smile.

Christian raised his hand to rub Sarah's face and smiled bitterly. "You are injured now. If you have anything to say,

just tell them. If you miss me, call me."

"En, Hubby, I got it. Don't worry, I will be fine." Sarah smiled and nodded, looking very relaxed.

"Okay. Then I have to go." Christian stood up and kissed Sarah on the forehead. He stood up reluctantly and turned

to look at Samantha. "Mom, I'm leaving."

Samantha’s nose twitched, but she still suppressed the sourness in her heart and nodded. "Call me when you

arrive."

"Yes, I will." Christian turned around to look at Sarah again, then left the ward without looking back.

Because he was afraid that he might not able to go back, if he turned back and saw her in the sickbed.

The moment the door closed, Sarah could not stop her tears from flowing.

Just now, she was afraid that Christian would not be able to rest assured of her, so she had been holding back her

tears. Seeing that he had finally left, her tears could not help rolling down.

Samantha walked to her daughter's bedside and sat down. She used a tissue to help Sarah wipe her tears, "What

are you crying for? It is not like Christian will not come back."

She tried to persuade Sarah, but in the end, she also cried with Sarah.

"Mom, I miss him. . ."

She really didn’t want him to leave. She really wanted him to stay by her side every day. Even if he didn't say

anything, she could feel that she was safe and at ease inside and outside as long as Christian was by her side.

However, he was a soldier, and most of the time, he had no choice but to do his work.

There were some major reasons that she could understand. However, human emotions. . . She still could not

control it.

"Silly child, why didn't you say anything when he was here?" Samantha wiped the tears from the corners of her

daughter's eyes with a pained expression.

"I can't let him worry about me. . ."

"Silly child, I know, I know."

When Christian walked out of the consultation hall and was about to leave, he happened to catch up with David who

came to see Sarah.

Knowing that Christian was going to leave, David drove him to the airport. When the car stopped in front of the

airport lobby, Christian turned his head and looked at David. "David, about Sarah. . ."

Before Christian could finish, he was interrupted by David. "Don't worry. Even if you don't remind me, I will still go

and see her. I heard from Sarah that as long as you do well this year, you can be transferred to our city. Don't let

Sarah down."

Christian heard what David said and knew that there were some things he didn't even need to say it, so he patted

David’s shoulder heavily. “Thank you. I’ll go."

After saying that, he got out of the car, closed the door, and waved at David. Then, he turned around and quickly

walked into the airport lobby.

David looked at Christian’s back and smiled. He stepped on the accelerator again, turned the car around and drove

back to the hospital.
