An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 194

In order to not make Christopher suspicious, Margaret asked for a half-hour leave from Leila. The reason

she chose not to tell Casper directly was because she was afraid he would pass the news on to

Christopher.

After exiting the building, she bought some fruits and hailed a taxi to the hospital. She enquired into

Jenson’s room number and headed over. When she arrived at the ward, she stood outside the door,

hesitating for a while before finally knocking. With that, Jenson’s elegant voice sounded from inside.

“Come in.”

Margaret’s heart calmed down considerably after hearing his voice. She smiled faintly and pushed the

door open. “Hey, I got off work early. I thought I’d pay you a visit at the hospital. How are you feeling?”

Jenson was surprised to see Margaret. He never expected her to come here. However, it did not take

him long to recover to his senses. His eyes lit in excitement as he greeted, “Oh, wow. I didn’t think you’d

come here. I’m fine. My leg is broken, but it’s not that bad. Take a seat.”

Margaret looked him over, and the weight of guilt in her heart intensified. Jenson had been a perfectly

healthy man, but now he was lying in bed with a hospital gown. There was a cast on his leg, and his face

was paler than ever. He looked as though someone had sucked the life out of him. “Hey. Um… I’m really

sorry.”

Jenson chuckled. “What for?”

She bit her lip. “About Lewis Corporation buying over Swanson Corporation. Since you’ve returned, so

many things have happened. I don’t even know what to say. I apologize on Christopher’s behalf.

Unfortunately, I can’t stop him. That’s why I’m sorry. I’ve always treated you as my best friend. We have

such wonderful memories together. However, I think it’s best if you keep your distance from me. So long

as we cut off contact, the Swanson family will be fine, and so will you.”

Jenson’s smile froze on his face. “Why do you think Swanson Corporation was bought over? Why do you

think I got engaged and then called it off? I have already reached the point of no return, yet you’re asking

me to stay away from you. Meg, you don’t know me at all. I’m not that naive to think that I can be with

you. However, as a friend, I refuse to distance myself from you. The way I see it, Christopher has some

weird possessiveness over you because of his longing for revenge. I’m honestly worried that he might

actually hurt you and throw you to the side one day. If that happens, and I’m not around, what are you

going to do? I know what you want to say. We both know it in our hearts. Please, don’t say it. I don’t

regret all that I’ve done.

Now that things have reached this point, there’s no turning back.”

He paused before continuing, “I tried my best not to look for you. When you were admitted into the

hospital for the second time due to your miscarriage, I knew. I didn’t come to see you because I was

afraid he would punish you for it. Christopher, that man… I can’t understand him. He seems so perfect,

but when it comes to you… Forget it. Let’s not talk about him. I just want you to know that I’m not afraid

of things getting worse. No matter what, I’ll always be here. If I had to compare the two, I think distancing

myself from you is worse.”

Hearing all this, Margaret felt her eyes tear up. “I… I’m not worth all your effort. Even if you don‘t care

about yourself, what about your parents? They worked so hard to build the business up. What will they

think when they find out it’s all gone? Honestly, Christopher isn’t as bad as you think he is. He treats me

pretty well.”

She had to say that in front of Jenson. If she complained to him, it would only make things worse.

Truthfully, she had no idea if one day Christopher would kick her out. It was more likely that he would

keep her locked up in the Lewis residence forever. After all, she had personally agreed to it.

Jenson felt like she was being absolutely ridiculous. “He treats you well? How so?”

She took a deep breath. “Well, after I miscarried, I was really emotionally unstable. I said a lot of things I

shouldn’t have said. The whole world found out I cheated on him, but he never held it against me.

There’s more than that too. I honestly think he isn‘t that bad. Look, Jenson. I really am doing fine. Most of

my worries stem from the fact that I’m the daughter of a criminal and that I owe the Lewis family. To be

honest, Christopher does fulfil my material needs. He’s my type too. It’s not just pure hatred between us.

We have been together for more than ten years. The feelings we have – long surpassed love. We are

like family. It can’t be that bad.”
