Chapter 247
The Contract Marriage
Jasmine and David would visit Sarah in every few days. Their relationship seemed to be much better than before. This was the place that made Sarah the happiest.
When Mr. Davidâs happiness was settled, she was happier than anyone else in her heart.
During the one month Sarah was hospitalized, Ethan would come to see her almost once a week.
Julian had also come twice or thrice, but he did not sit for long each time. He knew that he was not very popular, so he just stood there and left.
Daphne had only been here once. She said that she was very busy at home, so she did not come again.
One morning a month later.
Sarah had just woken up from her deep sleep when she heard the door of the ward open. Her mother carried the Insulating Tube and walked in from outside.
Seeing that her daughter had woken up, Samantha immediately walked to the bedside and placed the Insulating Tube on the bed before quickly entering the bathroom. She took a basin of warm water and came out. She used a towel to wipe Sarahâs face and hands.
âSarah, I discovered something today. I wonder if there is a problem in the bank?â Samantha said slowly as she wiped her daughterâs face.
âMom, what happened?â Sarah asked in puzzlement.
âDo you remember the bank card you gave me last time? You said there was ten thousand yuan in it.â
Sarah nodded. âI remember. My father-in-law gave it to me. He said there was ten thousand yuan inside. At that time, he specifically told me to keep it. When I came back, I gave you the bank card.
Mom, did something happen to the bank card?â
âYes! I took this card to the supermarket to buy some things a while ago, but I didnât really care at that time. Two days ago, I felt that something was wrong, because I had already spent more than ten thousand yuan inside. But when I took the card to get the medicine, there was still money inside. Later, I went to the ATM to check. Guess what?â Samantha stopped there.
âMom, donât scare me. What happened?â
âThe bank card you gave me actually showed more than 4. 9 million. . .â
âAh? How is that possible?â Sarah was so nervous that her eyes widened. She could not believe it.
âCould it be that there was a transfers in the bank?â
âIf thatâs the case, we have to return the money as soon as possible. With so much money, we wonât be able to sleep well at night! But you still have to ask your father about this first. What if he gave you the wrong bank card? â
âOkay! Mom, Iâll call right away!â Sarah nodded her head. The amount of money was too much. She could not hesitate about this matter no matter what.
Ethan picked up the phone not long after the call was made. When he saw that it was Sarah, he took the phone and went into his study. He then closed the door.
âSarah, why did you call me so early?â
âDad, I want to ask you something.â
âYes, tell me.â
âDo you remember the last time you gave me a bank card? You said there was ten thousand yuan in it.â
âYes, I remember. Whatâs wrong?â
âI gave that bank card to my mother, but she told me today that there were more than 4. 9 million yuan in it. I want to ask, do you know about this? If you donât know, then it means that the bank transferred the wrong money. . .â
Ethan listened to his daughter-in-law and smiled. âThen itâs not âDad, why did you give me so much money all of a sudden?â Sarah asked in shock. She never thought that things would be like this.
âI saved five million in there. That money was not for you, but for my future grandson! You are only temporarily keeping it for him. You just need to keep the money well! If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can also take it out and use it urgently!â
âBut Dad, I donât need that much money. Furthermore, Christian is also here. I donât need that.â Sarah directly refused.
âWhy not? Didnât I tell you just now? Thatâs not for you! Itâs for my grandson! Take it well. If the company needs money in the future, maybe you can still use that part of your money. The companyâs funds are still quite abundant now. Take it. This is a little goodwill from Dad. If you return the money, Dad will definitely be angry. Back then, I said there was ten thousand yuan in it because I was afraid you wouldnât want it!â
âDad. . .â Listening to Ethanâs words, for a moment, Sarah did not know what to say.
âSarah, Dad feels guilty about what happened to Julian. If you accept the money, Dad will feel better.
Do you understand?â
âDad, it is not your fault. . .â
âHow can it not be my fault? As the saying goes, itâs the fatherâs fault whether his son becomes good or bad! It was father who did not fulfill the responsibility of being a father to educate Julian to this extent.
So you must take the money as a token of appreciation from your father! Is that alright?â
âThank you, Dad. . .â Sarah really did not know how to reject father-in-lawâs words. She understood his painstaking efforts and nodded.
âYes, this is a good child. Dad will not talk to you anymore. Take care of your injuries. Dad will go and see you in two days!â
âOkay. Bye, Dad!â
âOkay, bye!â
Samantha had been sitting at the side listening nervously to her daughterâs words. When she saw that Sarah had withdrawn the line, she immediately looked at her daughter and asked, âSarah, what exactly is going on? This money was really given to you by Ethan?â
Sarah looked at her mother and nodded. âMom, Dad said that he is giving it to his grandson and said that it was a small token of his appreciation. He must make me accept it! He always felt that he was responsible for Julianâs matter. . .â
Samantha sighed. âEthan is really a good person. Your dad did not make friends for nothing! Since he had already said so much, you should take it first. Maybe in the future when the company really has money, you might be able to help.â
âMm, Mom, then help me keep it well!â Father-in-law had already said so much. If she would return it, no matter what, it was a bit too much. So Sarah asked her mother to keep the bank card.
Although she had been cheated by Felix for 1. 7 million, because she had the one million that Julian had given her later on, Vivian had been living quite well in the past month. Sometimes, she thought about Felix. She was more or less a little depressed.
Because it was getting more and more inconvenient for her body, Julian would sometimes blow some wind on her pillow. He bought her some small gifts three times from time to time, so Vivian would pretend to be opposed to the matter between him and Ruby in the beginning. But later on, she would only turn a blind eye to it.
Her heart was not originally on Julian, if her cousin could hold onto Julianâs heart. . . She was also happy.
Vivian already knew what kind of girl Ruby was. Although she looked good, she was too Ruby did not ask for anything. Just thinking about it made Vivian despise that girl from the bottom of her heart.
If the same thing happened to her, no matter what, she would make a mess out of the Cooper Family!
But this was exactly what she was thinking. If she were to find someone who was too scheming, she would have to guard against them day and night. Therefore, Ruby. . . She really found the right person.
After dinner tonight, Vivian went back to her room first. Julian went to the study to look at the documents for a while and felt that his eyes were really uncomfortable. He rubbed his eyes with his hand and took out some eye drops to drip on himself. He then laid in the leather chair and rested for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his eyes were a little comfortable, so he picked up the document again. However, before he could even see the first line of words, he felt that everything in front of him had become blurry.
Julian felt a little uncomfortable. He got up and returned to his bedroom.
Opening the door, Julian saw Vivian lying on the bed listening to music, so he walked over and sat beside her.
âWife, I have something to discuss with you. . .â Julian looked at Vivian and smiled apologetically.
Vivian directly glanced at him. âLook at your little bit of prospects. Give it to me!â After saying that, she stretched out her hand towards Julian.
âWhat?â
âMoney!â When this kind of thing happened too many times, Vivian did not hide anything anymore.
Julian immediately took out the wallet and took out a thousand yuan from it and gave it to her. âThere is only so much today. . . I will give you more some other day. . .â
Vivian raised her eyebrows and said very generously, âOne thousand is one thousand then. Hurry up and get out of here.â
She was also lazy to see him. Since she could get the money to spend and also have peace, why would not she agree?
When Julian heard her words, he immediately left with a smile. He even closed the door for Vivian and directly went to Rubyâs room next door.
When Julian walked in, he saw Ruby standing by the bedside folding clothes. He immediately walked over and hugged her waist from behind and lowered his head to kiss her neck.
âRuby, do you miss me?â Julian hugged her and fell into the big bed. His big hands started to touch her body continuously. He had been with this little girl for almost a month. Not only did he not feel annoyed at her, but he also became more and more greedy for her.
From the moment he liked her body, he began to like to listen to her voice, like to watch her walk. He liked to see her smile shyly, although most of the time, she rarely smiled at him.
During this month, when he often worked in his office, he inadvertently thought of her. Sometimes, he felt like he was in love again. Because now, he was deeply fascinated by this ordinary girl.
âYoung Master. . . â
âHmm? Whatâs the matter?â
âIâm not feeling well today. . . â
âWhy not?â
Rubyâs face lowered and there was a layer of red on her face. There were some things that she was embarrassed to say.
âDonât tell me you are on your periods?â Julian looked at her with a little disappointment.
âYes. . . â
âForget it. Since you are here, come. I will carry you to sleep tonight. . .â Even if he could not touch her body, he still liked to hug her to sleep. That kind of feeling made him very comfortable.
That night, Julian slept very well. The woman in his arms had always been very stable. She curled up in his arms like a soft kitten, making him not want to let her go no matter what.
When he woke up the next day, Julian was woken up by Ruby in his arms. He opened his eyes and looked. However, what entered his eyes was darkness.
Julian suddenly turned his head and subconsciously looked at the window. He did not see any light outside the window. So he reached out and pulled Ruby in his arms again. âIt is still not bright yet. Letâs sleep for a while more.â
Ruby heard his words and looked at him with wide eyes. âThe sky is already bright. Young Master, quickly get up. . .â
