My Supermodel Wife

Merry's tears immediately clouded her vision. As she walked over to the hospital bed shaking, her eyes started to turn red. But she didn't dare to cry.

Lilia realized Merry's sadness and couldn't take it anymore. She stepped forward to comfort her, but her hand was held by Jean who was standing beside her. Lilia turned her head and met the man's eyes as he shook his head slightly. She felt a little reluctant, but in the end, she decided to go with Jean's suggestion.

Inside the silent ward, only the sound of Merry's heartbreaking cry could be heard. Alan, who looked uncomfortable with the sad atmosphere, exchanged glances with Jean. Then Chris's cousin left the ward first.

Chris's current state was able to affect everyone's emotions. They all felt they were missing the man's scathing comments and ignorant remarks.

Jean grabbed Lilia and took her to sit on the sofa. The man stroked her hair while leaning over and whispered in Lilia's ear, "This is just my theory, but maybe… maybe Merry can wake Chris up."

Jean's sentence just now was suggestive of the relationship between the two. Lilia shifted her gaze and met the man's dark blue eyes. She vaguely understood Jean's ambiguous meaning. Then her gaze fell on Merry and Chris again. Lilia's lips moved without making a sound.

"Merry and Brother Chris? Are you serious?" Lilia asked silently. Did the two of them have the kind of relationship she envisioned?

Her stunned expression that was too conspicuous indeed made Jean smile a little. Instead of answering, the man kissed her forehead and stood up. "I'll go see Alan for a moment. I'll be right back."

Lilia nodded at his words, but her heart still couldn't keep calm. She realized that she had never considered the relationship between Merry and Chris before. Whenever the two met, they never showed any other sign than just being in a platonic relationship.

Could it be that the two of them were hiding their relationship from everyone? But Merry was not the type to lie, let alone to Lilia, the person she trusted the most. It's just ...

'Are they really compatible?' That was the main worry that filled Lilia's mind.

Chris was a close friend of Merry's father, and could even be considered a brother. If Samuel found out about this, Lilia wasn't sure if their friendship would last. Seeing Samuel's protective attitude towards his only daughter, Lilia felt that Chris needed to fight even harder. But on the other hand, Chris was a man who could be trusted to love and protect Merry.

When Lilia's mind wandered, Merry was already sitting beside the hospital bed. Tears rolled down her cheeks, making her face look even sadder.

She pulled her chair as close to Chris as possible, as if she didn't want to be apart from him again. Merry murmured hoarsely, "Brother Chris ..."

The young woman didn't dare to make any extra moves, but she couldn't hold back her feelings any longer. Finally, Merry made a compromise by lifting the tips of her fingers and hooking them into Chris's fingers.

Merry rubbed the man's fingers gently, while one hand pressed against the corner of her mouth to hold back sobs. She started pouring her heart out.

"Brother Chris, you are a liar. You lied and said that you would return to the United States to live with me. But you haven't been back in a very long time."

"Brother Chris, I failed two of my exams. If you didn't accompany me, I wouldn't be able to study..."

"Rico is getting more and more annoying over time. He keeps clinging to me and won't go away. Brother Chris, please keep him away from me!"

Merry continued to cry while telling her stories during the time she passed without Chris at her side.

"Brother Chris, if you don't have time to accompany me, can you at least talk to me? I texted you a lot and called you many times, but you never replied to me. Because of that, I can't tell you all this. You have to make up to me!"

Lilia was very sad when she listened to Merry's words from the side. Every word and every sentence the young woman spoke was filled with her hidden longing for Chris. Merry seemed to depend a lot on Chris, either because of their childhood friendship or because of their mutual feelings. Or maybe because of both.

Lilia was used to Merry's lively attitude, so when the young woman suddenly became very sad and emotional, Lilia was also feeling depressed.

She got up and walked behind Merry. The model gently stroked Merry's hair, trying to comfort her. Before she could speak, the young woman followed her movements and looked up. Tears streamed down Merry's pretty and soft face.

"Sis Lilia, what should I do? Brother Chris ignored me..." Merry muttered in a miserable voice.

She lowered her head and again, teardrops fell from the corner of her eye. This was the first time Lilia had seen Merry so heartbroken.

Lilia's eyes also started to tear up. She wiped the tears from her face with the tips of her fingers. Then she gently squeezed her former assistant's shoulder.

"Merry, don't talk like that. Brother Chris loves you very much and won't ignore you. Whatever you say to him, I'm sure he can hear it," Lilia assured her.

Merry only believed half of Lilia's words, but she decided to try it anyway. Merry turned and squeezed Chris' fingers gently. She started whispering to Chris for a long time.

Lilia accompanied Merry and listened to all her stories about their past. She listened to her memories of all the interesting things that happened between her and Chris. But no matter what Merry said, Chris still showed no sign of waking up soon.

Lilia didn't know how long it had been since Merry started telling stories. Her crying voice became mute, and even her breath trembled. When Merry uttered the last sentence of her story, she stared at Chris, who hadn't changed the least bit. Seeing that, the dam in Merry's heart finally collapsed.

She turned and plunged into Lilia's embrace. The young woman cried loudly in her arms. Lilia hugged her back, and tears rolled down her eyes too.

"Sis Lilia, Brother Chris will never get up, right?!" Merry asked between her sobs. "I ... I don't know... I don't know what I will do without Brother Chris!"

For Merry, she never imagined what her life would be like without Chris by her side. From then until now, Merry always thought that Chris would be the one who would never leave her side. But now the man lay motionless in the hospital bed, as if he was dead again. His face looked very haggard and weak, as if he would leave at any moment.

In her heart, Merry felt choked by an intense fear. When she hugged Lilia, she was crying so hard she couldn't help herself.

No one in the ward noticed a male figure who had stood for a long time at the door. The man brought the food he had just bought from outside the hospital.

Clifford glanced at the food he was carrying in his hand. When he went to pick up Merry at the airport, he learned that the young woman had not eaten at all. To make matters worse, Merry didn't sleep all day and night worrying about Chris.

Clifford's heart broke because he saw this scene.
