Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 285

Chapter 285

Yuliana seemed as if she was stuck in a nightmare, unable to wake up.

Not long after she settled down, she mumbled and wept. Yuliana would cry loudly, sometimes quietly. In the middle of the night, she began to have a fever.

Christopher took a thermometer to take Yuliana’s temperature. Since the fever was not severe, and it was the middle of the night, he did not summon Isaac over. He only got some cooling patches for Yuliana and wiped her body with a wet towel.

When it was almost dawn, Yuliana’s body temperature returned to normal, and she finally slept soundly.

Christopher had stayed by the bed all night. Only after Yuliana settled down did he lie sideways beside her, wrap his arms around her, and close his eyes to sleep.

At dawn, Yuliana opened her eyes.

She did not move or speak but looked out the window until the sun shone brightly.

Christopher woke up after he had only slept for two hours.

Since Yuliana had her back against him, he did not notice that she was awake.

He picked up his phone and checked the time. It was already past seven o’clock. Then, he reached out and touched Yuliana’s forehead to see if she still had a fever. When the edge of his palm touched her eyes and his palm gently brushed across her eyelashes, he stopped his hand.

Shortly, he touched Yuliana’s forehead again and whispered inwardly, “It’s colder than my palm. The fever should have subsided.”

He withdrew his hand before he asked gently, “When did you wake up?”

“It has been a while,” Yuliana replied indifferently. After a while, she asked, “Have you found Roe?”

Christopher turned silent for a moment. “Not yet. But don’t worry. I can assure

that Roe will come back soon, Ana.”

Yuliana did not react too much to his words, as if she had already expected the

answer.

Silent ensued in the room for a moment. With tears flowing from the corner of her eyes, she said calmly, “I had a lot of dreams last night. I dreamt that Roe was lying quietly in the crib, and his body was cold. No matter how I called out at him, he wouldn’t respond. Later, I dreamed of someone hurting him, and he was covered in blood. He kept crying until his voice cracked, but I couldn’t find him, no matter how hard I tried…”

Christopher felt his chest tighten. He hugged Yuliana tightly from behind and

said in a deep voice, “Don’t worry about that. Roe will surely come back to us safely.”

Yuliana took a deep breath and choked with sobs. “Why Roe? He’s just a baby!”

Christopher did not say anything but only held her in his arms.

After a while, a knock came on the door.

Christopher got up to open it and saw Joyce standing at the door with a bowl of oatmeal.

“Joyce…”

“Is Yuliana awake?” Joyce asked.

“Yes,” Christopher replied.

Joyce said, “I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare some oatmeal. Please get Yuliana to have some. She hasn’t eaten anything since yesterday morning. Her body will not be able to stand it.”

Christopher took the oatmeal and expressed his gratitude.

Joyce said nothing much. As a mother, she could understand Yuliana’s feelings at that time.

If the same thing happened to Alex, she would also break down.

Christopher returned inside the room with the oatmeal and saw no one on the bed. Although, there was a subtle noise coming from the bathroom.

He put down the oatmeal and waited for a while. Soon, Yuliana came out after washing up.

Christopher asked cautiously, “Joyce asked the kitchen to prepare the oatmeal. Would you like to have some?”

He had asked Yuliana to eat something the day before. Yuliana barely swallowed it, but soon vomited it all out.

Thus, he did not dare to force her to eat anymore.

Yuliana brushed the hair off her face, went to the couch, and sat down. She picked up the oatmeal on the table and ate it. However, she ate too fast and almost choked after a few mouthfuls.

She finished the oatmeal rather quickly.

When Christopher saw that she could finally eat normally, he felt a little relieved. “Do you want more?” he asked. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Yuliana shook her head. “I’m full. I’ll go and get changed first.”

She put down the bowl and headed to the walk-in wardrobe.

Christopher frowned slightly, followed behind Yuliana, and grabbed her arm. “Ana, please rest at home. You had a fever last night, which didn’t subside until the morning. You should rest at home and leave Roe’s matter to me.”

“Are you asking me to sit at home and wait for the news?” Yuliana stared at him with her clear eyes. “Roe is my son, and he’s missing now. Do you think I can have a good rest at home?”

Christopher did not want Yuliana to make useless efforts, as she would never find Rowan even if she searched every corner of Juxshire.

However, there was no way he could tell Yuliana that, and he tightened his grip on Yuliana’s arm unconsciously,

Yuliana glanced at his hand holding hers and then at the expression on his face. Suddenly, she became suspicious and asked, “Do you know where Rowan is?”

As she thought about it, Yuliana found things were getting strange.

Since Rowan went missing the day before, Christopher’s reaction was unusual. Although he had accompanied her to find Rowan’s whereabouts, he did not seem anxious. She thought it should not be his normal reaction, at least.

“Ana.” Christopher fixed his gaze on her and said in a low voice, “Let me handle Roe’s matter. I’ll make sure he comes back safely, okay?”

In the next few days, problems were found in several projects Logan was in charge of, and Christopher highlighted and commented on them during the high-level business meeting. He showed no mercy and decided to demote Logan. He then handed over the projects to another project director of the company.

The project director was also a Solace. He was not directly related to Zavier but a distant relative. Technically speaking, he was promoted by Zaiden.

Immediately after, irregularities were found in the collaborations between Solace Corporation and the family of Josie, Logan’s wife, and the collaborations were suspended in the end.

In truth, issues or problems would always exist in such collaborations between family businesses. As long as it was not fatal, everyone would always turn a blind. eye to such a thing.

Otherwise, Kendrick would not have ignored that.

However, the company run by Josie’s family had been relying on several orders from Solace Corporation to survive in recent years. Once Solace Corporation called off the collaboration, it would be a fatal blow to them.

Josie’s parents flooded her with calls every day. They wanted Josie to ask Logan and find out why the collaborations were suddenly terminated.

Although Josie was annoyed by her own family, she was still concerned about them. Even if she knew Logan was in a bad mood because of the demotion and

vented his anger on the children, she still tried to get information from him.

After Logan showered and went to bed at night, Josie put down the tablet, kneeled behind Logan, and massaged his shoulders.

“Honey, have you offended Christopher recently?” she asked.

Logan’s face darkened at Josie’s words. He pushed her away and glared at her coldly. “Just get straight to the point, and don’t beat around the bush.”
