Chapter 155
Christina looked into his eyes with a flash of guilt on her face.
She leaned against the bed, covered with a blanket, and looked at the man at the door from afar.
She did not expect Patrick to suddenly come over.
Seeing a large group of people searching around in the bathroom and cloakroom of the suite, she tried
to stop them but could not make up an excuse.
"Mr. Hopkins, we didn't find anyone."
"The elevator surveillance shows that he's on this floor..."
"We searched the rest of the rooms. To protect the privacy of guests' on the top floor, we didn't install
the monitor device."
Christina could vaguely hear their conversation in the living room.
Although there was a lot of service staff standing in the spacious suite at this time, the room was very
silent as everyone looked at each other and did not dare to speak.
She compressed her lips and her heart was pounding.
However, she was also hesitant. Was Patrick looking for him?
Why did he look for Eric?
While being buried in thoughts, she trembled at the sudden voice.
She heard the heavy footsteps approaching.
Christina jerked her head up and suddenly met Patrick's gloomy eyes. He stared at her with a
meaningful look.
She could only feel a chill on her back, and her body could not help but tense up. Leaning against the
headboard, she put her hands under the blanket and clenched her fists.
"Who are you.." She hesitated as he stared at her.
But she stopped asking him.
Taking a deep breath, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look him in the eye. She said in an
awkward tone, "The person you're looking for isn't here."
Patrick didn't say anything.
He did not come any closer, just standing quietly about two meters away from the bed.
They were silent.
Christina lowered her head and became more and more uneasy.
What could she do?
Did he find anything?
She thought, "He won't lift my blanket in public."
"I remember you used to sleep on the right side." The low voice came to Christina's ears and her hope
was ruined by his words.
Her face turned pale.
He remembered her habits. She did like to sleep on the right side. But she was just too hasty.
In astonishment, she looked up guiltily and opened her lips slightly, trying to say something.
Christina felt a little timid and guilty.
The man standing at the foot of the bed and stared at her with his burning eyes, waiting for her to
confess.
What should she say?
She didn't know how to explain it.
But at this moment, in the cold and silent suite, a sudden sound of footsteps broke an awkward
atmosphere.
"Mr. Hopkins, Miss Parker has a serious stomachache. She vomits a lot and needs to be sent to the
hospital immediately."
Christina was stunned when she heard this. Barbara and others seemed to have had some trouble
when entertaining their clients in the hotel room.
"She probably drank too much alcohol before eating anything."
Seeing that Patrick was indifferent, the general manager of the hotel stepped forward and suggested
softly, "Mr. Hopkins, just now you saw that Miss Parker looked pale. It's probably alcohol poisoning. It's
best to send her to the hospital for gastric lavage. We'll deal with what happened here later."
Christina's eyes lit up when she heard this.
"You came so late just because you had visited Barbara!"
The woman on the bed suddenly raised her voice to retort him, pretending to be angry.
"Patrick, we were supposed to come over together, but you suddenly left me alone at the airport. Last
time, you left with Barbara and the others and I was left alone in the parking lot. You always left me
behind because of other people's affairs. Did you treat me as your wife? Do you think that Barbara was
more important than me?"
Christina looked angry and scolded him indignantly.
Patrick frowned, not used to her sudden anger.
She rarely made such a fuss.
The hotel room staff didn't understand what was going on.
They thought his women fought for his favor.
Christina looked around unhappily. She was jealous! Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"I often get cramps during sleeping when I'm pregnant. I was so pained that I often couldn't sleep. But
you never cared about me. Now that there's something wrong with your subordinate's work, you
immediately rush over to save her."
As she spoke, she reached out and quickly picked up the big coat by the bed, draped it over her body,
and went straight out of bed.
"You're going to a the Fishers party. I guess Miss Parker will be there too. Why did you ask me to come
all the way to F City? I'm going back to A City now!"
Patrick was black in his face. Looking at her unreasonable behavior, he shouted angrily, "Christina!"
"I don't want you to mind my business. I'm going to see my friend now."
She didn't even look back. Christina walked to the entrance, changed her shoes, and slammed the
door.
Bang.
The door was closed.
Patrick was livid and all the hotel staff trembled in fear. She actually slammed the door and left.
