Chapter 307 Up To You Whether To Believe Or Not
Mrs. Hadley, what are you doing? Don’t harm yourself!” Raymond was scared out of his wits. Pulling out is handkerchief, he frantically used it to apply pressure to her wound.
However, the cut was too deep. A handkerchief simply wasn’t enough to stop the blood.
As blood continued seeping out from her wound, her figure which was already as thin as a rake swayed unsteadily, seemingly ready to collapse any time.
“Get out! Stop acting like you all care about me! Whether I am dead or alive has nothing to do with you all!” At that moment, it dawned upon Christina that humans would lose their desire to live whenever they experienced emotional breakdowns.
She was wallowing in utter despair and exhaustion.
Christina shoved both Raymond and the housekeeper away. Afraid that they would end up hurting Christina, they backed away and got pushed out of the room.
Following a loud thud, Christina locked herself in the room.
The housekeeper was shaking like a leaf. She asked tearfully, “What should we do? Mrs. Hadley’s hand is still bleeding.”
“Call Mr. Hadley. Quick!”
The atmosphere in the conference room was heavy. Cold sweat covered the forehead of the finance director, who was presenting the annual report.
Nobody in the room dared to make a single sound. Everyone present wore solemn expressions, especially Nathaniel, who was in the main seat.
The man’s face appeared slightly gaunt after days of tireless working, making his distinctive features stand out even more. His rigid jawline gave off an aloof aura that sent chills down people’s spines.
Nathaniel had been in a bad mood for the past week.
The HR department would issue notices from time to time, announcing that certain executives had been fired. All the employees panicked.
Right then, someone’s phone rang.
Everyone exchanged glances in fear. Which idiot didn’t turn off his phone during a meeting? Does he have a death wish?
Just as everyone was confused, the man sitting in the main seat took out his phone and answered it.
“Mr. Hadley, something terrible has happened! Mrs. Hadley cut her wrist out of anger and locked herself in the room. There is blood everywhere…” Raymond was so anxious that he couldn’t even speak properly. Nathaniel frowned. No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t possibly sit still when he heard that Christina was in danger.
He shot up from his seat at once and headed toward the door of the conference room without saying anything else.
Madison chased after him. “Mr. Hadley, where are you going? We are still a meeting.
In the past few days, Nathaniel kept himself busy with work and ignored Christina. Madison was overjoyed, thinking that Nathaniel would no longer care about Christina now that his phobia toward women was cured.
Little did she expect that he would walk away like that as soon as he heard Christina was in trouble.
Nathaniel turned around and shot daggers at her. “You’re in no position to meddle in my affairs.”
After saying that, he left.
Everyone in the conference room turned to look at Madison with contempt.
Soon, they began murmuring among themselves.
“Didn’t the rumors say that Mr. Hadley is having an affair with Ms. Taggart recently?
“But he’s treating her like they’re strangers.”
“Compared to how Mr. Hadley treats Mrs. Hadley, it seems like his relationship with Ms. Taggart is just that of a superior and a subordinate.”
“I think the rumors are fake. Mrs. Hadley is the only apple of Mr. Hadley’s eyes.”
Madison was rendered speechless.
Those words of mockery hurt her like arrows that penetrated her heart.
Madison was so angry that her eyes turned red. Why does Mr. Hadley still care about someone who has betrayed him?
Nathaniel pushed open the door to the master bedroom upon returning to Scenic Garden Manor. The golden rays of sunlight perked in through the window and shone on Christina, who was lying on the bed, Her face was pale, and there was a deep gash on her left wrist.
The man inhaled sharply, feeling as if his heart had been mutilated.
Christina betrayed me first. Why am I in so much pain when I see her injured?
Nathaniel opened the first aid kit and tended to her wound cautiously. He could imagine how desperate. she was when he saw the deep cut on her wrist.
This is ridiculous. She was the one who betrayed me first. Why does it seem like I’m the one at fault Francis sure knows how to hit me where it hurts. He succeeds in
Instead of leaving after dressing her wound, he sat by the side of the bed and fixed his gaze on her pale Lace. To think that I love her so much, and this is what I get? How ridiculous,
As time ticked by, neither Christina nor Nathaniel moved. After what felt like an eternity, the figure on the bed finally moved
When Christina opened her eyes, she saw that her wrist was bandaged, but her wound was still aching.
However, the pain in her wrist was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.
You’re awake. I thought you were dead.” Nathaniel’s voice was as cold as ice.
Christina couldn’t muster any energy. Looking at the man’s frosty countenance, she was surprised by how calm she was.
