An Impossible Marriage

Chapter 168

and found that it was packed with words. The mere sight of it gave her a headache.

Soon, Elizabeth arrived. Margaret heaved a sigh of relief and summoned her. “I need to go to the restroom,” she whispered. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Elizabeth burst out laughing upon hearing her request. “Mr. Lewis is right here. Why didn’t you ask for his help? You’re a married couple, so there’s no need to fear him. Why did you insist on waiting until I arrived? Can you really hold your pee in?”

Margaret could feel her head throbbing. She dared not meet Christopher’s gaze. I had already lowered my voice. Why did Elizabeth not understand my intention and yell that I needed to go to the restroom out loud?

Christopher parted his lips and said, “I’m going on a business trip tomorrow. Elizabeth, stay here for the night. I’ll take my leave now.” It was likely that he was sparing her the embarrassment.

After the door shut behind him, Margaret breathed in relief and grumbled, “Elizabeth, can’t you lower your voice when you’re speaking?”

Elizabeth couldn’t understand it. “Why should I lower my voice? There’s no one else around. I might be old, but I’m more open-minded than you. Young lady, why are you so conservative? You and Mr. Lewis share the same bed. There’s no need to feel shy to ask for his help to go to the restroom.”

Margaret didn’t bother explaining to her. After all, Elizabeth didn’t understand her relationship with Christopher. But I really will feel awkward…

After spending a week in the hospital, the doctor finally allowed her to get discharged. During that one week, Christopher didn’t show up as he was still on his business trip.

No one would want to remain in the hospital. Margaret was delighted to learn that she could leave soon. She couldn’t wait to get home and return to Tabby.
