Love Contract novel Chapter 245

"Okay." William nodded his head in agreement.

As Mary exited the room, William felt his heart ache. It was as if it was being pricked by sharp needles. Although he knew that there was no other meaning as to why Mary wanted to see Barry, William still could not help but feel jealous.

He should be the only man in Mary's heart.

"Ah!" William groaned in frustration. How could he be so unhappy?!

Soon, Mary finished preparing the porridge. She and William now went to the hospital.

After Barry's swift and successful operation, he was transferred to the ward.

As soon as Mary arrived, she immediately spotted Selah. She rushed towards Selah and asked anxiously, "Where is Barry?"

"He is in the ward. I was told that he is expected to fully recover after a few days of rest." Selah then led Mary and William to Barry's ward.

Mary felt distressed upon seeing Barry look so feeble and weak. "The doctor said his condition was the result of his overworking, irregular eating pattern, and overdrinking," explained Selah.

It seemed like Mary was the root cause of everything.

'Barry, I'm sorry.'

"Well, Manager Lu... Since you're already here, I guess I'm free to go."

"Wait a minute." Mary stood up suddenly and said, "Selah, I want to talk with you. Just a few minutes. Would that be okay?"

"Sure," Selah nodded.

The two women walked out of the ward. Meanwhile, William sat beside the bed and mumbled to Barry, "You did it on purpose, didn't you? You made yourself sick on purpose just to gain Mary's sympathy! Selah seems a good woman. She's beautiful and a good actress. What a perfect match you two are! Why do you have to compete with me for my children's mother?"

"Selah, thank you for texting me." Mary stopped walking and added, "Thank you for letting me know."

"It's nothing. I just happened to meet him at the company."

"What a coincidence!" "Yes."

"Do you have a son?" Mary suddenly asked.

"Eh? Yes, I do." Selah nodded. She recalled the night on the set when Ray had an accident. That was the time she accidentally told her her secret. However, she wondered why Mary suddenly asked her about her son.

"I don't know why Barry suddenly decided to make you famous. I don't know why there was so much news about you recently either," Mary said seriously. "I don't think you are the kind of artist who wants to become famous through improper relationship and scandals."

"Of course not!" Selah shook her head quickly.

"Then please stay away from Barry," said Mary. "No matter what purpose you may have, please don't get close to him. He has learned a lesson from me. You already have a child. Don't let him be the father of a child who is not his again."

"I... I won't!" Selah shook her head quickly. "He's just my employer and I am just an employee. That's all! I'm sure I don't mean anything to him! I am just grateful to him for giving me opportunities. I don't like him!"

"That's good then." Mary felt a big relief after hearing her words. "I'll find a nurse to take care of Barry. Thank you very much tonight."

"You're welcome." Selah smiled awkwardly and said, "Then I'll leave now... I'm going to see my son."

"Okay. Go ahead." Mary nodded and then watched Selah leave.

Mary apologized to Selah in her heart for being so cruel, but she could only protect Barry in this way. She was indeed cruel.

"What if Barry has a crush on her?" William walked out of the ward and stood at the doorway.

"I won't allow it either." Mary clenched her hands and asked William hypothetically, "What if the child's father comes back? I made him sad before. I... I really don't know how to face him," she stammered and her response almost made her burst into tears.

"Mary," said William as he came over and hugged her, "don't blame yourself. If you want to blame anyone, just blame me. It was me who didn't cherish you well. It's my fault it led to this. It's all my fault."

"I just hope that he would be fine," Mary said in a low voice. "He's not taking good care of himself. What should I do?"

"He would be fine. Just give him time."

In the morning, Barry vaguely heard someone whispering in his quiet ward.

"I made this porridge last night. Fortunately it's still warm. Please give this to him when he wakes up."

"Okay, Miss Lu."

"Call me as soon as he wakes up. Please take good care of him."

"Don't worry, Miss Lu."

Was it Mary? 'Mary, is that you?'

Barry tried his best to open his eyes. At first, the only thing he could see was a bright light. It took quite some time for his vision to settle down. Then, he saw a blurry silhouette. Although it was vague, he recognized it instantly. It was Mary. It was Mary!

Mary told the nurse everything the nurse was supposed to do. Then, she turned around to leave.

"Mary," Barry called her in a weak voice.

Surprised, Mary hurriedly fastened her pace away from him, not daring to look back.

"Mary! Mary Lu!" Seeing that she was rushing out, Barry sat up all of a sudden and almost broke the infusion tube.

"What are you doing? Are you out of your mind?" Hearing the commotion behind her, Mary turned around. Her eyes widened in fear as she saw Barry's actions.

"Don't go." With red eyes, Mary walked to his bedside and cried. "You are wrong. It will be better for you if I leave. Don't you understand?"

"I don't understand," Barry answered while enduring the pain.

"Does your wound hurt? " Mary held him carefully.

"Why did you have a sudden gastrorrhagia?" Mary changed the subject.

"I don't know," he answered with a hoarse voice while looking at Mary. To be frank, he was being greedy for the feeling of being with her.

"You have to take good care of yourself. I was almost scared to death last night." Mary helped him lie down and she tucked him in.
