Chapter 47

Christopher rarely shed tears, but that was only because he had never reached the point of true heartbreak.

If no one saw him, then even if he died, it would not have mattered.

However, at this moment, the girl’s small gesture completely shattered Christopher.

He lowered his head, curled up into a ball, and sobbed quietly like a child.

Hailey did not disturb him. Instead, she silently stood by his side, waiting for him to let out his emotions.

No one knew how long had passed before Christopher finally lifted his head and let out a deep breath. “I must have made a fool of myself”

Lily shook her head and quickly said, “It’s fine, it’s fine. The wind is strong here. Let’s get in the car first. Hailey is not wearing a coat–she will catch a cold.”

She did not care about Christopher’s condition. Her only concern was Hailey.

Only then did Christopher hurriedly take off his coat and try to hand it to Hailey.

Hailey stopped him and refused. “No need. Keep it on. I’ll just head back to the car.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she sneezed.

“Get back in the car. Leave this to me.” Lily, her expression cold, pushed Hailey inside before moving Christopher’s wheelchair over and helping him into it.

Just then, the ambulance arrived.

Although Christopher was not seriously injured, there was a risk of a lung infection. With the help of the paramedics, he was taken into the ambulance.

Hailey felt uneasy about the situation and instructed Lily to accompany him to the hospital.

Fortunately, after the examination, there was nothing serious–just physical weakness, which could lead to a high fever.
