My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 778

When Eudora heard this, she turned around to look at Tina suspiciously.

"What's wrong? Did something happen? Was Christopher's health report bad? Let me take a look!"

Tina frantically put her hands behind her and replied, "No, no. I'm just...a little scared! I'm worried that something bad will happen to Christopher."

Tina had never been a particularly strong girl and she had always been soft-hearted. She had been pampered by Tyler growing up, so she was a little timid.

Eudora shook her head, "It's not that I don't want to stay here with you, it's just that it's inconvenient having to bring the kids along. It'll also affect Christopher's recovery." Tina nodded, and then smiled again.

She then smiled again, "Eudora, I was just kidding! I'm okay, you go ahead!"

Eudora looked at her warily and asked, "Are you really alright?"

"It's really nothing, it was just a joke."

"Then, I'm going back. I've asked Charlie and the rest to stay behind to take care of you all. Let me know if there are any problems."

"Okay!" Tina nodded.

After Eudora left, Tina took out the report she had been holding. Despite it being all crumpled up already, it still stated clearly Christopher's physical checkup results.

Previously, he had said that he had some physical issues, so he could not bear children. However, here, it clearly stated that his body was fine, and there wasn't a single problem with him.

Actually, she had gradually been sensing that Christopher was hiding something from her. Otherwise, why would he refuse her request to see the doctor so many times?

If he was indeed fine, but still had to lie to her that he was infertile, then the person who actually had a problem...

It was herself!

Tina could not believe her own theory, but at the same time, she had to.

To put her mind to ease, she decided to go for a checkup herself at the gynecology department. The nurse there kindly informed her that her previous checkup report was still in the records, so she did not have to do another checkup.

She asked the nurse to print out a copy, and the results were as expected.

It was in black and white; Tina's heart tightened and she crouched on the ground, dejected.

After Eudora left, Charlie hid himself away as usual.

Soon, Christopher was all alone in the ward. He watched TV for a while and felt a little frustrated.

Hence, he counted the passing time, waiting for Tina to come back.

When the two of them had started seeing each other, it had probably been for the sake of pride. Eudora had suddenly decided not to marry him, and the Gellert family couldn't afford the hit to their pride. Later on, he discovered that he and Tina were quite similar.

Tina had never seen her parents since young and had been sent to an orphanage, whereas for him, having a father was the same as not having one at all.

They were both people who needed affection, so the two lonely hearts came together as one.

They had been together since then, until the current day. Christopher felt that their relationship could be considered as intimate as family.

The current situation was a prime example.

She had only left his side for a little while, and he was already so anxious.

It was just a pity that his abdomen was injured, so he could not move at all.

Just as he was hesitating whether to ask Charlie to search for her, footsteps sounded from the outside.

Christopher heaved a sigh of relief, then pretended to be displeased, "Why did you come back so late?"

They had always interacted with each other like this, unlike Amos and Eudora who never shied away from showing their affection for each other in public.

However, it was also their own way of being with each other and they were used to it.

Usually, Tina would pounce on him and hug him, behaving in a childish manner. Or, she would smile at him cutely, calling him an old geezer.

Then, she would reach her hand out to smooth his creased brows.

However, Tina did not utter a single word today. She just lowered her head in silence and responded with a simple 'oh' after a long while. She was completely dispirited. Worry rose within him, "What's wrong?"

"I'm sorry." Tina's nose scrunched up, "I'll be more careful next time!"

Something was up!

Christopher's brows furrowed even tighter and continued asking, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Tina shook her head, replying, "Nothing! Nothing happened!"

"Really?" asked Christopher.

"Of course!" she replied, "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go buy it for you."

"Nothing much, just bring me anything you'd like for yourself!" he answered.

What he said was actually the truth. He was already sick to begin with, so he did not have much of an appetite. Besides, he was not really a picky eater.

Usually, whenever he and Tina would have a lot of good food, it was actually her bringing him along.

Tina replied, "Oh, then why don't I make you a cake? I heard people say that if you eat something sweet when you're sick, your mood will get better."

Christopher recalled the last time Tina had baked. She did not actually know how to cook. Previously, due to the same reason that she wanted to make something for him to eat, she did the same thing and almost blew up the kitchen.

When that scene came to mind, he was actually more worried that she would get herself injured, hence he immediately refused.

Hence, he immediately refused, "No need, I'm okay with eating something from the cafeteria!"

Tina smiled wryly as she replied, "Aren't I useless? Aren't I a burden to you?"

Christopher frowned and asked, "What's the matter with you today? Why are you acting so weird? Hadn't we been talking about making something to eat? How did it come to this?"

"It's nothing!"

"I know that I'm not like Eudora. If only I were as amazing as her, that'd be great! She's good at everything."

Christopher shook his head, "Not at all, you're just as amazing."

This time, Tina did not answer. She looked away and answered, "I'll go get you some food then!"

After she returned, Tina was adamant on feeding Christopher. He actually wanted to tell her that she could adjust his bed upwards, then he could use the cutlery himself.

However, seeing that she was in such a low mood, he thought that she must have been a little bit upset because she had caused his injury.

He did not want to disappoint her, so he just let her do as she pleased.

However, this young lady had actually never taken care of someone before.

She fed him until the food almost seeped into his nostrils, and he almost choked to death. In the end, luckily Charlie had called for the nurse to come in time, so Christopher came out unscathed.

At night, Tina was lying on the sofa, staring blankly at Christopher.

Truth be told, she was not sure what to do. When she had initially received the report, she had actually wanted to leave.

However, in the end, she could not bear to do so.

In this world, other than Eudora, only Christopher treated her the best.

He was someone who would lie to her that he was infertile, rather than allow her to feel sad.

How could she bear to leave him?

However, she had tried so hard to take care of him. Why couldn't she do it well?

Thinking about that, she got up and quietly exited the room.

There were still nurses on night shift at the nurses' station. Tina walked over to replace the nurse who had demonstrated some things for her in the evening.

"Hello, may I ask a favor from you?"

The nurse saw that it was her and quickly nodded, "Sure, what's the matter?"

"Could you teach me how to take care of patients? I want to learn how to do so!"

The nurse could tell that Tina was a girl from a wealthy family. It was rare that such a wealthy young lady would be affable, so she had left a good impression on them.

"Of course!"
