Semua Bab Mr. CEO, Marry Me On Conditions [The CEO's Replaced Bride]: Bab 331 - Bab 340

Ivanna"Mama, is it gonna hurt?" Chrissie asks in a low tone, half-lying on the hospital bed. There's clear fear on her face. It was not easy for me to tell her that she'll be undergoing surgery. She had no clue why we were here in the first place. We spent the first two days visiting the ranch and other places in the village and she was really enjoying it. She wanted to do so many things but it all got interrupted when the actual thing began. We told her about the surgery yesterday, after the check-up. Since then, she has been asking us questions. She's not crying or asking us to stop this. She's just making sure she can be strong enough for this. She wants to decrease her fear and measure the possibilities. I smile and sit beside her, touching her cheek gently. "No. It won't. You won't even know what's happening. The doctors will give you medicine so you don't feel any pain", I tell her. "Really?" She exclaims. "Yeah. Are you scared?" I ask.Her face drops. She looks down and r

Ivanna"What are you thinking?" Christian holds my shoulder, startling me. I flinch and look at him, a bit alarmed. "Chris! I don't think I can be there. I really don't think I'll be able to see all that. Please!""It's okay. It's fine", he touches my cheek gently. "If you don't wanna go, you don't have to"I feel so bad that I couldn't have the courage to be next to her. I'm letting her be there, alone, believing that she's much more courageous than me. It makes me feel more awful than I actually am. "Well—" Dr Decker shrugs. "In such cases with children, we always let one of the parents accompany the kids. In fact, we really don't let them. We suggest they be there. Because children are sensitive. They are used to being taken care of by their parents, like a shield and suddenly letting them go through this alone is kind of terrifying for them, no matter how courageous they are. Their brain, their sanity, it's all sensitive. Any kind of fear and trauma can be harmful to them. So—"

EmilyI enter the OT, wearing the essentials. Chrissie is still lying on her back and she looks extremely confused by her surroundings. I walk towards her when she has been looking at the monitor next to her. Two nurses are working beside the bed, waiting for the doctor. "Hey, beautiful!" I whisper as soon as I reach her. And her face lightens up right away."Emmy!" She excitedly whispers back. I hold her hand. "How're you doing?"She fluffs her cheeks. "Honestly? I'm scared""I know. But now you don't need to be. Since I'm here", I squeeze her hand."Why do you have that mask on?" She curiously asks. "Because it's important to put it on when I'm here", I chuckle.Suddenly, the air feels heavy when the doctor comes inside. I was indeed confident to be with Chrisanna but there's always a bit of nervousness surrounding me when I watch these children going through it. Especially when the last time I was in such a position was two years back. It's been a long time since I have been the

ChristianI decided to move back to Texas and get started with my work again. It was tough to decide before but after a long conversation with Ivanna, it seemed to be so easy. I still don't know how things are gonna shape up once I move back to Texas. However, Ivanna is right. I don't have anything to be scared of right now. I don't have any weaknesses which Thea can use against us anymore. I don't need her. Our daughter doesn't need her. That's one of the biggest satisfactions I have ever felt. I'm confident enough to face anything she'll come up with.I'm almost done with all the preparation to leave. My bags are packed. The vehicle is ready. The last thing will be saying goodbye to Chrissie. I was feeling so guilty about all of it but now since I have believed that I'm doing all this only for her, I don't feel guilty anymore. Sometimes we have to do things differently. I'm convinced of myself and my actions. It'll all be worth it the moment everything will fall back into place. I h

ChristianThe meeting has been fixed at Mr Fox's office. I reach there the next morning. He was late for the appointment which he never is. I have been waiting in his cabin for like an hour now and he shows up just before I was about to leave."Ah! I apologise, Mr Scott", he surges inside the cabin with a huge smile of apology on his face. Maybe, that's kind of weird, but he seems really cheerful which I never really thought he was. I immediately get onto my feet and shake hands with him. "Not a problem, Mr Fox. It's been a while since we met""Yeah. Yeah. And that's— I'm really sorry that the project didn't work out", he sighs, taking his seat and I also sit in front of him. "No. Please. You shouldn't be apologising for that. We both know the majority of the responsibility for that loss was because of me", I say."We did a partnership, Mr Scott. There's nothing like major and minor in partnership. It's equal. That's the main principle of business", he says. I smile. "I'm really ho
