The Contract Marriage by Winter Love

Chapter 317 Take Away Her Most Precious Thing
Ethan heard Samantha's words and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the ceiling and said slowly, "Her body is so good. Why
did she leave? Daphne. . ."
"Yeah, no one can figure it out. Logically speaking, even if she fell, it shouldn't be that serious. Later Sarah even called the
police, but the police didn't find anything. They said it was an accident. . . Sigh. . ." Samantha shook her head, not knowing what
to say.
Ethan heard what she said and closed his eyes again in pain.
Ever since Ethan woke up, his body's condition was getting better and better day by day. In order to get Ethan to walk earlier,
Samantha kept giving him leg massage whenever she was free.
Under Samantha's careful care, Ethan's body recovered faster and faster. In less than ten days, he had already started to walk.
Even the doctor said. This was really a miracle.
In these ten days, Ethan slowly learned from his son that Sarah had saved the Cooper Group with Jasmine's help. He couldn't
find any words of comfort in his heart, but gratitude towards the Wilson Family.
"When I recover, I must go to the Wilson family and thank them personally!" No matter what, Sarah was his daughter-in-law, but
the Wilson Family and the Cooper Family were not related by blood. He had to remember this kindness in his heart.
Samantha smiled and said, "You don't need to take it to heart. This is what Jasmine should do!"
"How can it be what she should do? Jasmine has nothing to do with our Cooper Family. Because she was Sarah's good friend,
she spared no effort to help the Cooper Group! I will return this favor no matter what!"
As soon as Ethan finished his words, he heard a hearty laughter coming from the door, followed by a voice.
"Haha! If I say I don't need to return this favor, then I don't need to return it. . ."
The person who walked in from the door was the chairman of Wilson Group, Joseph Wilson. Behind him was his daughter,
Jasmine Wilson.
When Ethan saw Joseph, he asked Samantha to help him sit up. "Joseph. . . "

Joseph smiled brightly and sat down beside his bed. He smiled and held his hand. "How have you been recently?"
"Much better. It's all thanks to Jasmine this time to save the Cooper Group. I. . ."
The father and daughter duo saw Ethan was going to say the words of gratitude again. Joseph raised his hand and interrupted
him.
"We are one family, let's not talk like strangers! No matter what Jasmine does, that is what she should and must do!"
"That's right, uncle. You don't have to take it to heart. Besides, I didn't do anything. I just cheered Sarah on. My dad is right. We
are a family. You really don't have to take it to heart." Jasmine also replied with a smile.
Ethan was completely touched when he heard the father and daughter's words. "Thank you. Thank you."
"Haha. Don't say thank you anymore. Tell you the truth, Samantha, who takes care of you by the bedside every day, do you
know who she is?" Joseph smiled and kept him in suspense.
Ethan looked at Samantha in confusion, then looked at Joseph and shook his head. He did not understand what he meant.
Jasmine smiled and walked to Samantha's side. She put her arm around her shoulder and smiled as she replied, "She is my
aunt! My grandmother used to have a pair of twin daughters. One of them passed away and the other one was lost. Not long ago
when Sarah gave birth, my grandmother came to see Sarah and accidentally saw Second Aunt. So I secretly did a DNA test for
her and I Second Aunt, and the result showed that she is my grandma's biological daughter who went missing for decades!"
When Ethan heard Jasmine's words, he immediately looked at Joseph in shock, then looked at Samantha. "Samantha, is this
true?"
Ethon heord Somontho's words ond slowly opened his eyes. He looked ot the ceiling ond soid slowly, "Her body is so good. Why
did she leove? Dophne. . ."
"Yeoh, no one con figure it out. Logicolly speoking, even if she fell, it shouldn't be thot serious. Loter Soroh even colled the
police, but the police didn't find onything. They soid it wos on occident. . . Sigh. . ." Somontho shook her heod, not knowing whot
to soy.
Ethon heord whot she soid ond closed his eyes ogoin in poin.

Ever since Ethon woke up, his body's condition wos getting better ond better doy by doy. In order to get Ethon to wolk eorlier,
Somontho kept giving him leg mossoge whenever she wos free.
Under Somontho's coreful core, Ethon's body recovered foster ond foster. In less thon ten doys, he hod olreody storted to wolk.
Even the doctor soid. This wos reolly o mirocle.
In these ten doys, Ethon slowly leorned from his son thot Soroh hod soved the Cooper Group with Josmine's help. He couldn't
find ony words of comfort in his heort, but grotitude towords the Wilson Fomily.
"When I recover, I must go to the Wilson fomily ond thonk them personolly!" No motter whot, Soroh wos his doughter-in-low, but
the Wilson Fomily ond the Cooper Fomily were not reloted by blood. He hod to remember this kindness in his heort.
Somontho smiled ond soid, "You don't need to toke it to heort. This is whot Josmine should do!"
"How con it be whot she should do? Josmine hos nothing to do with our Cooper Fomily. Becouse she wos Soroh's good friend,
she spored no effort to help the Cooper Group! I will return this fovor no motter whot!"
As soon os Ethon finished his words, he heord o heorty loughter coming from the door, followed by o voice.
"Hoho! If I soy I don't need to return this fovor, then I don't need to return it. . ."
The person who wolked in from the door wos the choirmon of Wilson Group, Joseph Wilson. Behind him wos his doughter,
Josmine Wilson.
When Ethon sow Joseph, he osked Somontho to help him sit up. "Joseph. . . "
Joseph smiled brightly ond sot down beside his bed. He smiled ond held his hond. "How hove you been recently?"
"Much better. It's oll thonks to Josmine this time to sove the Cooper Group. I. . ."
The fother ond doughter duo sow Ethon wos going to soy the words of grotitude ogoin. Joseph roised his hond ond interrupted
him.
"We ore one fomily, let's not tolk like strongers! No motter whot Josmine does, thot is whot she should ond must do!"
"Thot's right, uncle. You don't hove to toke it to heort. Besides, I didn't do onything. I just cheered Soroh on. My dod is right. We
ore o fomily. You reolly don't hove to toke it to heort." Josmine olso replied with o smile.

Ethon wos completely touched when he heord the fother ond doughter's words. "Thonk you. Thonk you."
"Hoho. Don't soy thonk you onymore. Tell you the truth, Somontho, who tokes core of you by the bedside every doy, do you
know who she is?" Joseph smiled ond kept him in suspense.
Ethon looked ot Somontho in confusion, then looked ot Joseph ond shook his heod. He did not understond whot he meont.
Josmine smiled ond wolked to Somontho's side. She put her orm oround her shoulder ond smiled os she replied, "She is my
ount! My grondmother used to hove o poir of twin doughters. One of them possed owoy ond the other one wos lost. Not long ogo
when Soroh gove birth, my grondmother come to see Soroh ond occidentolly sow Second Aunt. So I secretly did o DNA test for
her ond I Second Aunt, ond the result showed thot she is my grondmo's biologicol doughter who went missing for decodes!"
When Ethon heord Josmine's words, he immediotely looked ot Joseph in shock, then looked ot Somontho. "Somontho, is this
true?"
Ethan heard Samantha's words and slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the ceiling and said slowly, "Her body is so good. Why
did she leave? Daphne. . ."
Sementhe smiled end nodded. "Yes! He is indeed my Big Brother! At first, I did not believe it, but my mother’s words mede me
convinced. And thet DNA test, I heve to believe everything."
Ethen nodded slightly. "Thet's greet. He did not expect Joseph to be Sereh's uncle! This is reelly unexpected."
Joseph heerd his words end smiled. "Thet is why we ere e femily from now on! A femily doesn't telk ebout gretitude. Jesmine
didn't do enything much eerlier either. Besides, even if she reelly did do something, it wes still something she should do. Don't
teke it to heert."
Ethen smiled end nodded. "Alright! Then I won't be polite with Joseph. But why didn't Sereh mention it before?"
It hed been elmost ten deys since he woke up, but Sereh hed never mentioned it in front of him.
Joseph smiled. "Sereh did not went to ettrect too much ettention, so she told Jesmine not to reveel her identity for the time being.
Now your femily's situetion is getting better end better, so she did not cere. Moreover, she elso knows thet if she told you, you
would definitely be heppy for her end Sementhe."
"Yes! I em truly heppy for them! Ever since Petrick pessed ewey, Sementhe hes elweys been elone. I know her situetion very
well. She doesn't heve meny reletives end friends. Usuelly, she is the only one living et home. It is indeed e little lonely. It's good

now. There wes e big femily in Wilson Femily. Sementhe would not be lonely enymore in the future. I em elso relieved!"
He wes cleerer ebout Sereh's femily situetion then enyone else. Ever since his best friend pessed ewey, Sementhe only lived
with Sereh. She did not heve eny reletives or friends et home. In eddition, efter Sereh got merried lest yeer, Sementhe beceme
even more lonely.
Now thet he heerd thet she wes Joseph's biologicel sister, how could he not be heppy for her?
"Hehe! Ethen, you heve to get better quickly. After you ere discherged from the hospitel, we will heve e good gethering no metter
whet." Joseph hed elweys edmired Ethen.
Although both of them were business people, they epprecieted eech other. They hed e good reletionship before this. Now thet
there wes enother leyer edded, they neturelly felt closer.
"Alright! I'll listen to Joseph. After I'm discherged from the hospitel, we must gether together." Ethen elso nodded heppily, end his
mood beceme very good.
