Chapter 25: Don't Make Things Difficult for Christina
"What are you doing here!"
When Christina pushed open the door of the ward, the man asked coldly from inside.
Christina subconsciously looked at the woman in the bed.
She paused for a second before saying, "I, I just..."
"Miss Dickens, I'm not feeling well.Patrick has been with me all this time.We didn't do anything else! Don't be angry!" Cecilia looked timid.
It was as if she was frightened by the sudden appearance of Christina.
She hurriedly explained in a weak and nervous voice.
"Christina, go back now!" Patrick's voice grew colder.
Patrick turned to look at Cecilia's frightened face.
It was as if she were the delicate beauty in the sickbed that Christina had come to bully.
Christina felt a little aggrieved and angry when he yelled at her.
"Grandpa asked me to come over! Patrick, if you don't go home, you can go anywhere you want.I don't bother to talk to you!" Patrick was angry.
Christina pulled a straight face, turned around, and immediately strode away, not wanting to see him at all.
He almost subconsciously chased after her, but his right hand was held by the woman on the sickbed.
"Patrick, don't make things difficult for her ‘’ Cecilia said in a soft voice.
"Chandler told me before that you followed your grandfather's thoughts to marry her because she was pregnant.At least she is pregnant with your child.Don't be so mean to her...’
And the VIP floor was really quiet.
It was so quiet that even Christina, who had already walked out of the ward, could hear what Cecilia said in the end.
"Don't make things difficult for her."
"You followed your grandfather's thought to marry her because she was pregnant......’ Christina's heart was filled with bitterness when she heard these words.
Without hesitation, Christina walked quickly towards the elevator.
Her footsteps were hasty as if she was afraid of , staying here.
Suddenly, she felt like that she was a mistress between them.
She knew she had no right to interfere in Patrick's private affairs, but...
Why was he so cold when he spoke just now? It seemed that if she really hurt Cecilia, he would not let her go.
Christina was in a bad mood and returned to Hopkins Family.
"Where is he? Didn't Patrick come back with you?"
Sitting upright in the hall of the Main Residence, Mr.Hopkins asked in a deep voice when he saw Christina return.
"I don't know”
"Is he still with that actor?!"
Mr.Hopkins's face darkened and he cursed.
Then he looked at Christina with disdain.
"Why are you so useless! Didn't I ask you to bring him back? It's the first day of the lunar new year today.Keep an eye on your man!"
Christina had just been reprimanded by Patrick in the hospital and was reprimanded again by the old man when she came back.
The grandfather and grandson of the Hopkins Family were really unreasonable...
She couldn't stand it any longer and retorted angrily, "If you want Patrick to come back, just call him yourself.I won't go to him!"
With that said, Christina could not care about her usual reverence for the old man.
She was so angry that she turned around and went straight back to the bedroom.
"Stop! I still have something to ask you.How were things going on when you and that bastard went to the Dickens Family .." Mr.Hopkins shouted at her back.
Christina walked faster when she heard the words "Dickens Family".
Mr.Hopkins couldn't believe what he saw as Christina left in a rage and ignored him!
"Old Master, I think Young Madam..."
The butler wanted to say something to ease the tension.
"All right.All right.Now they are not afraid of me, right? Everyone thinks I'm going to die, and they dare to ignore me!" Mr.Hopkins looked very gloomy.
The butler smiled bitterly.
"Old Master, Mr.Dickens called.He said that Young Master personally informed them that the wedding was canceled..."
Mr.Hopkins was angry that Christina was disobedient.
He was Startled and raised his head as he heard what the butler said.He was really angry now.
Fires were burning in his eyes.
"What did you just say?"
"Patrick said he would cancel the wedding because of that damn actor?! How dare he!"
The old man gritted his teeth in anger.
The butler sighed and muttered, "It was indeed the Young Master who canceled the wedding..."
He guessed that Christina was unhappy because the wedding was canceled.
Mr.Hopkins's chest heaved with anger and he shouted, "Cecilia.This woman has been missing for so many years, but she just pops up at this time.What's her intention? Patrick's mind is in a mess.Why does her care that b*tch so much?"
"Actually, Christina.."
The butler thought of something.
Mr.Hopkins was furious and snorted, "Don't mention this Christina.She's so stupid! I've agreed to let her marry into our family, but she won't take the opportunity to curry favor with this Patrick.Now, Cecilia is back, but it still looks like that she doesn't care.Why is she so stupid?!"
The butler couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
The butler said, "Old Master, Christina's pregnancy was just an accident.She has no feelings for Patrick......"
The butler left the last sentence to his heart, "So it's normal that Christina doesn't care much about the returning of Patrick's ex.”
"What do you mean!" Mr.Hopkins frowned.
"You mean that Christina turns her nose up at Patrick!"
After all, Patrick was brought up by him but now, Patrick was despised by a woman.
No matter what, the Old Master still cared more about his grandson.
The butler smiled helplessly.In his heart, the butler sighed.
‘’Sure enough, every man of Hopkins Family had a strange temper.It was really not easy for Christina to deal with both Mr.Hopkins and Patrick”
"It's the first day of the lunar year.Are you sure you don't want to go back to the Hopkins Family for dinner?"
Charles received a call from Patrick and drove over to pick Patrick up.
Charles was waiting for the traffic light.
After thinking about it, Charles couldn't help but ask, "Patrick, I heard that you canceled the wedding."
Patrick leaned against the back of the car, refreshing his spirits with eyes half-closed.
He didn't want to be bothered by his grandfather, so he asked Charles to drive over.
Now hearing Charles mention the wedding cancellation, he thought of Christina again and some thoughts flashed in his eyes. Charles turned the steering wheel and glanced at Patrick from the corner of his eye when he saw that Patrick didn't pay much attention to him.
"Patrick, you don't really cancel the wedding because Cecilia is back and you're afraid that Cecilia will be sad, do you? Anyway, Christina is legally married to you.It's very…’’ Charles continued to say in his heart, "It's very unfair for Christina as the wedding was suddenly canceled."
Charles didn't say what he thought in his heart out because Patrick suddenly snapped, "Stop the car!"
Charles didn't know why, but he obeyed.
"What's wrong?"
Charles noticed that Patrick was staring gloomily at the left side of the car window.
He followed Patrick's gaze and he was stunned.
That woman was Christina? How could she wander around the city alone in the middle of the night? Christina, a familiar excited shout was heard.
Christina was very depressed today because Patrick didn't come back tonight and Mr.Hopkins pulled a long face and inexplicably taught her a lesson.
She felt that she was wronged, so she had to go out and take a walk to relax.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her.
When she looked over, she became more depressed. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"How are you? Are you feeling well? You were kidnapped that day. I was worried about you.I followed Patrick and the others to the village to find you..."
Cory happened to drive past her and he got out of the car excitedly.
He ran over and spoke quickly.
"Thank you for your concern.’’ Christina's voice was cold.
She took a step back consciously to keep the distance clear between her and him.
Cory always felt uncomfortable when he saw that she was clearly alienating herself from him.
They used to be husband and wife.
Although he had snubbed her in the past, Christina had been accommodating him for the past three years.
"Last time,’ Cory looked at her with burning eyes.
He paused and asked nervously, "I want to ask you.Christina, Did you jump into the river to save me because you loved me, or..or because you thought that I was the one who saved you on the high school graduation trip?"
Christina felt that all kinds of feelings welled up in her heart when she heard Cory mention the past.
She had always avoided mentioning the nightmare of her high school graduation trip.
She clenched her right hand slightly and then took a deep breath.
"It doesn't matter anymore," she replied lightly.
As she spoke, she turned around and wanted to leave.
"This is very important to me!"
Cory suddenly took a big step forward, grabbed her arm agitatedly, and urged, "Christina, tell me if you still love me!"
She paused and looked at the persistence on the man's face, only to find it laughable.
In fact, Christina didn't know whether it was because she misunderstood him as the man who saved her on the graduation trip that she jumped into the river in disregard of everything to save him. She just inexplicably wanted to find the man who saved her that day.
She wanted to find him very much.
It was as if she owed him a very important promise.
Christina was annoyed and didn't want to talk to him.
"Cory, it's the first day of the lunar year.Please go back to accompany your beautiful lover and daughter...’ He felt guilty when he heard her say that.
He quickly explained, "Christina, if you still love me, why don't you admit it? I promise I'll make it up to you.I'm with Carrie only because of my daughter.Give me some time to deal with it.I also heard that Patrick's ex-girlfriend came back, and he even canceled your wedding with him..."
Though Christina never cared about the wedding, when she heard that Cory and others said that the wedding was canceled, she still found their words annoying as she became the one who was
abandoned in their words.
"It's none of your business!"
Christina was in a worse mood after being pestered by Cory, so she immediately took out her phone and called the driver of the Hopkins Family to pick her up.
Cory watched her get into the car...
Just as Christina left, Patrick said in a deep voice, "Go back to the mansion’
"Uh.Patrick, didn't you want to go to a bar?"
Charles's heart trembled as he felt the ferocity all over Patrick's body.
"Back to the Hopkins Family!" Patrick repeated impatiently.
Charles was shocked.
Patrick wouldn't have rushed back to trouble Christina, would he?
"The last time, Christina jumped into the river to save Cory.She probably had no other thoughts other than saving one's life.There was nothing else..."
Charles was kind enough to help Christina.
"And…”
"Patrick, given that now, Cecilia is back, the wedding has been canceled and Christina said that she would respect your decision after giving birth to the baby, don't make things difficult for Christina..."
Along the way, Charles was a little scared.
He raised his eyebrows and looked back.
He was surprised to find that Patrick's expression became gloomier.
"Don't make things difficult for Christina."
This was the second time he had heard such words today.
Patrick's expression was cold, and his eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
His right hand was clenched into a fist.
‘‘When did I make things difficult for her?’’ Patrick shouted in his heart.
