My Second Husband novel Chapter 778

When Eudora heard this, she turned around to look at Tina suspiciously.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Was Christopher's health report bad? Let me take a look!"

Tina frantically put her hands behind her and replied, "No, no. I'm just...a little scared! I'm worried that something bad will happen to Christopher."

Tina had never been a particularly strong girl and she had always been soft-hearted. She had been pampered by Tyler growing up, so she was a little timid.

Eudora shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to stay here with you, it's just that it's inconvenient having to bring the kids along. It'll also affect Christopher's recovery."

Tina nodded, and then smiled again.

She then smiled again, "Eudora, I was just kidding! I'm okay, you go ahead!"

Eudora looked at her warily and asked, "Are you really alright?"

"It's really nothing, it was just a joke."

"Then, I'm going back. I've asked Charlie and the rest to stay behind to take care of you all. Let me know if there are any problems."

"Okay!" Tina nodded.

After Eudora left, Tina took out the report she had been holding. Despite it being all crumpled up already, it still stated clearly Christopher's physical checkup results.

Previously, he had said that he had some physical issues, so he could not bear children. However, here, it clearly stated that his body was fine, and there wasn't a single problem with him.

Actually, she had gradually been sensing that Christopher was hiding something from her. Otherwise, why would he refuse her request to see the doctor so many times?

If he was indeed fine, but still had to lie to her that he was infertile, then the person who actually had a problem...

It was herself!

Tina could not believe her own theory, but at the same time, she had to.

To put her mind to ease, she decided to go for a checkup herself at the gynecology department. The nurse there kindly informed her that her previous checkup report was still in the records, so she did not have to do another checkup.

She asked the nurse to print out a copy, and the results were as expected.

It was in black and white; Tina's heart tightened and she crouched on the ground, dejected.

After Eudora left, Charlie hid himself away as usual.

Soon, Christopher was all alone in the ward. He watched TV for a while and felt a little frustrated.

Hence, he counted the passing time, waiting for Tina to come back.

When the two of them had started seeing each other, it had probably been for the sake of pride. Eudora had suddenly decided not to marry him, and the Gellert family couldn't afford the hit to their pride.

Later on, he discovered that he and Tina were quite similar.

Tina had never seen her parents since young and had been sent to an orphanage, whereas for him, having a father was the same as not having one at all.

They were both people who needed affection, so the two lonely hearts came together as one.

They had been together since then, until the current day. Christopher felt that their relationship could be considered as intimate as family.

The current situation was a prime example.

She had only left his side for a little while, and he was already so anxious.

It was just a pity that his abdomen was injured, so he could not move at all.

Just as he was hesitating whether to ask Charlie to search for her, footsteps sounded from the outside.

Christopher heaved a sigh of relief, then pretended to be displeased, "Why did you come back so late?"

They had always interacted with each other like this, unlike Amos and Eudora who never shied away from showing their affection for each other in public.

However, it was also their own way of being with each other and they were used to it.

Usually, Tina would pounce on him and hug him, behaving in a childish manner. Or, she would smile at him cutely, calling him an old geezer.

Then, she would reach her hand out to smooth his creased brows.

However, Tina did not utter a single word today. She just lowered her head in silence and responded with a simple 'oh' after a long while. She was completely dispirited.
