Contract Marriage With The Disabled CEO
Chapter 27 Go on the Business Trip Together Her face was still a little pale, her eyes in a daze as if she was at a loss.
Kerwin knew the bad things she talked about. He made some investigation once but not in a thorough manner. He never thought that Betty would talk to him about it willingly.
Perhaps, it meant that Betty trusted Kerwin somehow.
Thinking of this, Kerwin felt a bit delighted. He said simply, âNo matter what happened to you in the past, you are my wife now.â
Kerwinâs remarks weighed a hundred-ton on Bettyâs heart. But she got relaxed finally.
She lowered her head, trying to hold back her tears, and sobbed in a trembling voice, âThank you, Kerwin.â
âThank you for marrying me when I was most desperate.
vas n Thank you for rescuing me when I needed you.
Thank you for giving me a home when I was alone,â Betty said that in her heart.
After drying her hair, Betty went to bed. She fell asleep soon. She was exhausted today.
Kerwin, sitting at her bedside, watched her sleeping soundly and quietly.
Somehow, he felt uncomfortable when he saw Betty being helpless at the Bourland Villa today. The scene stung him.
He didnât know why he cared about Betty so much.
But he was just using Betty to go against Old Bruce.
The inexplicable feeling made Kerwin a bit upset. Pondering for a long while, he finally took out his phone and called Peter.
âPeter, investigate Bettyâs past,â Kerwin ordered calmly with no emotions in his tone. âI want every single detail of her first love.â
The next day, Betty got up half an hour early and drew up a resignation on her laptop.
She couldnât work under Jeffrey anymore, whether she was just cowardly or tried to avoid dealing with him.
But before she could print out her resignation, she suddenly got a call from the hospital.
âIs it Miss White? Well, we found that there were spikes on your motherâs EEG. We guess she might wake up.â
wake up.â
âWhat?â Betty was elated. âReally? Will she really wake up?â
âYeah, maybe. But Miss White, donât get your hopes up.â
âThatâs already good news. Doctor, thank you.â
âWell, weâll try our best, butâ¦â the doctor hesitated. âYou know, since there are signs that sheâs going to wake up, we will give her different treatments. The expensesâ¦â
Betty froze for an instant. Soon, she reacted and said quickly, âI know, doctor, donât worry. My mother already has Chicagoâs medical insurance, and it can cover most of the expenses. No matter how much I have to pay, I will pay it. Please help her get through this.â
After hanging up, Betty looked at the resignation on her laptop in front of her. She kept silent for a moment and then deleted it.
If she resigned, she couldnât pay her motherâs medical fees before she found a new job.
She collected her things with a headache and went to work.
There was no escaping the things she had to face.
Kerwin had something to deal with, so he left early. Betty took a taxi to the office after eating alone.
Their magazine recently started a large cooperation project. It was a long-term cooperation with a magazine in Houston. It was said that Jeffrey would go to Houston to negotiate the contract in person.
After knowing this, Betty was relieved.
She hoped that Jeffrey could leave for a business trip. The less she saw him, the better.
But shortly after she sat down in the office, Nicole, the editor in chief, hurried to her. âBetty, get ready. Youâll go to Houston with Jeffrey in the afternoon.â
âWhat?â Betty stood up with shock. âNicole, Iâm a reporter, not Jeffreyâs personal assistant. I donât think itâs a good idea.â
âTell Jeffrey yourself if you have a problem with that. He made it clear that he wanted you to go with him.â
Betty turned pale.
Jeffrey wanted her to go with him?
She thought that Jeffrey would leave her alone since he was getting married. Why was he doing this?
She bit her lip, turned around and walked towards his office.
When she was about to knock on the door, the door opened.
Jeffrey saw her standing outside the door, and then froze for an instant. He put on a cold look. âBetty, what are you doing here? We are leaving soon.â
