Chapter 536 Comfort
Sebastian was not surprised that Nathaniel gave that order.
Previously, Madison had set up a trap, causing Christina to fall into the sea Back then, the Taggart family had pleaded with Nathaniel to let Madison off. On account of their friendship. Nathamel did not pursue
the matter.
However, instead of being grateful, Madison kept pushing her luck, repeatedly crossing Nathaniel’s boundaries.
It was time to put a stop to the woman’s nonsense.
“Understood.” Sebastian hung his head and stood rooted to the spot while watching Nathaniel and Christina leave.
A moment later, he turned and left the hospital.
Christina slept deeply for one whole day with Nathaniel staying by her bedside the entire time.
Nathaniel did not publicize the fact that Christina had been kidnapped. Instead, he lied to his family and the kids that the woman had gone on a business trip.
Click. Suddenly, the door to the ward opened.
Nathaniel looked over and saw Sheridan entering the room, holding an exquisite fruit basket. “Im here to visit Ms. Steele,” the man said.
As Christina was indebted to Sheridan, no matter how much Nathaniel disliked his woman interacting with another man, he would not be rude and chase him away.
“Let’s talk outside. Nathaniel got up and walked toward the door. There was no warmth in his eyes, only a hint of exhaustion.
Sheridan put down the fruit basket and took a glance at Christina, who was sleeping soundly, before turning around and leaving the ward.
After closing the door, Nathaniel stood right in front of the entrance, as if he was silently asserting his claim on the woman.
“How’s Ms. Steele doing?” Sheridan spoke first.
“She and the baby are both doing well. Thanks for asking, Mr. Stone.” Pinching a cigarette between his thumb and forefinger. Nathaniel fixed his gaze on Sheridan and asked, “May I know why were you at the scene of Christina’s kidnapping?”
The Stones were a reputable family that had also accumulated some wealth, but their influence was nowhere near the Hadley family
Despite that being the case, unlike the heirs of other wealthy families who were always trying to butter Nathaniel up. Sheridan stood firmly in front of hum and replied calmly. “I had something to discuss with Ms. Steele. When I arrived at the entrance of Scenic Garden Manor, I saw Ms Steele getting into that tried to follow them, but I lost them for a while after their car drove out of the city. Lonly managed to
track them down more than half an hour later. When I saw Ms. Steele again, she had escaped after knocking Madison unconscious. You already know what happened after that.”
Nathaniel stared at Sheridan for a few seconds before asking. “What were you planning to discuss with her?”
“Mr. Hadley, since you don’t seem to know anything about it, I guess Ms. Steele has been intentionally. keeping it from you. In that case, it’s better for you to ask her directly,” Sheridan replied, matter-of-factly.
Taking a pause, the man glanced at his watch before continuing with a smile, “Sorry, I have some matters to attend to. I’ll be back to visit Ms. Steele again another day.”
With that, Sheridan turned and left.
Nathaniel fell into deep thought as he gazed at Sheridan’s departing figure.
It was already noon when Christina woke up.
After staring at the ceiling in a daze for a few seconds, the woman seemed to have suddenly remembered something and put her hands to her stomach.
When she felt her baby bump, she heaved a sigh of relief. Holding back the urge to cry, Christina sat up slowly while holding on to the edge of the bed for support.
Even though she was staying in a private ward, she was all alone.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
“Nathaniel Christina abruptly ceased speaking as Nathaniel ran toward her and pulled her into his
arms.
“You’re finally awake!” he exclaimed in a low voice that sounded like he was trying to suppress his emotions. Nathaniel was hugging the woman so tightly that it seemed as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go of her. Then, he murmured. “I’m so glad you’re awake. I was so worried.”
