She knew her body well; she was becoming increasingly frail, and the burden on her heart was growing heavier. Without the medication the doctor provided, her condition might have worsened by now.
The doctor was very clear: her chances of recovery were only through a miracle.
So, she declined Jonathon Gibson's help over the phone because, in the days she had left, she didn't want to waste her time on futile efforts. She just wanted to spend every minute and second she could with Marie.
"I told you, before I divorce you, I won't leave Marie. But in two months, I have to go abroad, so I need you to come back and take care of Marie for a while."
Skyler Jones turned his face, looking at her with deep calm, "With Jonathon Gibson?"
Christine Quinn nodded, "Yes." This could serve as her excuse for leaving.
"You haven't forgotten that we're divorcing in three months, have you?"
"I know."
"I hope you can rush back before then."
