Rebirth: Mommy's Revenge Chapter 329: Will Not Break the Promise
Under the doctor's strong recommendation, Christina needed to undergo a thorough examination at the hospital.
Harper, on the other hand, was free to leave at any time.
After some thought, Harper nodded seriously.
"Alright, I'll go home with Daddy tonight, but we gotta come back early tomorrow to see Mommy."
"Otherwise, Mommy will be sad if she doesn't see me in the morning."
"Okay."
William agreed with a smile, picked up Harper, and left.
It wasn't until they had gone that Christina slowly opened her eyes.
It wasn't that she didn't want to keep Harper with her.
After all, in her previous life, William had ignored Harper and even allowed other women to bully her, which eventually led to Harper's death.
But in this life, she could see that William genuinely liked and cared for Harper, and Harper truly liked her dad.
Since that was the case, if it made Harper happy, it was okay for William to take her for a night.
The next morning.
Maybe it was because he had practiced beforehand or imagined this scene countless times.
William took good care of Harper, and after having breakfast together, they arrived at the hospital early to see Christina.
Christina had just woken up. When she saw them, her gaze lingered on William for a moment before she smiled slightly at Harper.
"Harper, did you have fun last night?"
"Yeah!"
Harper nodded enthusiastically. "Daddy told me stories and put me to bed. This morning, Daddy made breakfast, and it was really yummy!"
Hearing this, Christina was a bit surprised and instinctively glanced at William.
She remembered that William couldn't cook. The food he made before was terrible and inedible.
But today, Harper praised it as very tasty.
William's ears turned slightly red. "I just made some porridge and boiled eggs. It's nothing complicated. Harper was just being nice."
As he spoke, he placed a lunchbox on the table next to the bed, looking at Christina with bright eyes.
"I made breakfast for you, Christina. You haven't eaten yet, so please have some."
It was rare for Christina to see William looking embarrassed, but she just nodded calmly. She glanced at the lunchbox and noticed William's fingers covered in band-aids.
"Did you hurt your hand?"
Although she no longer wanted to have any emotional attachment to William, seeing his fingers covered in band-aids made her heart tighten involuntarily.
"It's nothing, just a small injury."
William quickly hid his hand behind his back, looking extremely uncomfortable. "I accidentally hurt myself. It's no big deal. Christina, you should eat."
Christina felt a mix of emotions. She opened the lunchbox and looked at the well-prepared food inside. It was hard to imagine that William had made all of it himself.
And judging by the look of it, William must have worked hard to prepare this breakfast, getting quite a few cuts on his hands in the process.
But she didn't want to ask too many questions. She just picked up the utensils and took a small bite.
The taste was surprisingly good.
Christina's surprise was evident on her face. Seeing this, Harper, ever the cheerleader, quickly praised her dad.
"Mommy, Daddy worked really hard to make this meal!"
"He learned from a chef for a long time. Daddy was cooking even before Harper woke up. Isn't it delicious?"
Seeing Harper's exaggerated yet expectant expression, Christina couldn't help but laugh softly, not wanting to dampen her enthusiasm.
"Yes, your daddy is very impressive. Mommy likes it very much."
Harper beamed with joy.
It seemed like the relationship between Mommy and Daddy had improved a lot!
As long as Mommy was happy, Daddy still had a chance!
But if Daddy made Mommy angry again and wasn't enthusiastic enough, she would side with Mommy and not want Daddy anymore!
With his daughter being so supportive, William gave Harper an approving look, his gaze unintentionally falling on his own injured fingers.
"It's just that my hand hurts a bit. I might not be able to handle company documents well for a while."
William's expression was downcast. Christina paused while drinking her porridge. She didn't need to look at his face to know what he meant.
Pretending not to understand, Christina continued drinking her porridge.
"The company recently took on a big project. If my hand injury delays the project's development, that wouldn't be good."
"I don't want to do this, but I have no choice. I don't know who else can help me with this project..."
"Stop, stop."
Christina frowned slightly, interrupting William.
She glanced at William's hopeful expression and then at his bandaged fingers.
Finally, she sighed helplessly. "After I get discharged today, I'll help you out. Is that okay?"
Business is business. Since William had helped her so much, she didn't want to owe him forever.
William finally smiled. "How can I accept that? You just got out of the hospital. You should rest and recover first."
His words earned him an eye roll from Christina.
"Do you want my help or not? If not, I'll take Harper out for a few days once I'm discharged."
"Of course, I want your help."
Afraid that Christina would change her mind, William quickly agreed.
"Then the day after tomorrow, go to the Cavendish Corporation. I'll arrange what you need to do."
Christina nodded and didn't argue further.
The atmosphere was rare and warm because of Harper's presence. William seized the opportunity to find moments to talk to Christina, hoping to get closer to her.
Although Christina was impatient, she cooperated for Harper's sake.
This made William very happy. If it weren't for company matters requiring his attention, he would have stayed longer to spend more time with Christina.
"Then, on the day the company's charity foundation is established next week..."
Before leaving, William looked at Christina reluctantly.
Christina sighed helplessly. "Since I already promised you, I won't go back on my word. Don't worry."
Only then did William breathe a sigh of relief. He gave Christina several reminders in Harper's presence before finally leaving, looking back every few steps.
After he was completely gone, Christina lay on the hospital bed, not knowing what to think.
She realized that as long as Harper was around, William lost his usual cold and aloof demeanor, becoming more down-to-earth and approachable.
