30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 212

Watching Jason sprawled across the table, unconscious and covered in blood, Kristin panicked. With shaking hands, she fumbled for her cell phone from her pocket and dialed 911. Before long, the ambulance arrived, and Kristin followed it to the hospital.

He had just recovered from a high fever two days ago, and now he was back in the hospital. This kid had always been healthy as a horse. What kind of bad luck had he stumbled upon lately?

When the doctor wheeled Jason out of the ER, he pulled down his mask and told Kristin, “The injury on his head is superficial. It looks worse than it is. He’ll be fine once he wakes up, though he should really cut back on the booze.”

Kristin nodded in agreement to the doctor, and together with him and the nurses, back to the hospital room.

Beside Jason’s bed, who still hadn’t regained consciousness, Kristin lamented, couldn’t get Estrella out of your mind, why didn’t you cherish her when you had the chance? Why did you even start things with Holly in the first place?”

“Jason, you’re awake. Do you feel pain anywhere else? And what happened to your head? How did you get such a nasty cut? There was so much blood,” Kristin bombarded him with questions the next morning as soon as Jason opened his eyes.

Jason, already nursing a headache, rubbed his temples and winced, “Mom, I’m okay.”

Kristin’s voice escalated, “Okay? When I found you last night, you were out cold and had alcohol poisoning. Call that okay? Why can’t you take better care of yourself? Even if you’re facing big problems, you need to be in good health to solve them.”

Jason just rubbed his temples, not responding He knew the logic, but not everyone can maintain absolute rationality.

Kristin sighed, “Alright, alright, if you don’t want to talk, I won’t push you. Just promise me you’ll cut down on the drinking.”
