Chapter 655 Proposition
Christina’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word “hospital.” She asked anxiously, “What happened?”
Sensing the tense atmosphere, the secretary quickly explained, “The hospital called and mentioned Old Mrs. Gibson has already accumulated a huge amount of medical bills. If you do not pay up, they may seriously consider stopping the treatment immediately.”
Christina had forgotten an important point as she panicked earlier. She had left her own contact information at the hospital.
If something did happen to Timothy, the hospital should’ve called her private number. She figured the hospital must’ve contacted her to talk about Azure’s situation because of Anya’s doing.
“I got it. You can continue with your work.” Christina instantly relaxed. She got up and put on her coat while instructing Lyle, “Prepare the car. I’m going to pay her a visit.”
Naturally, Lyle knew who Christina was referring to by “her.”
Due to the lack of money, Anya had arranged for Azure to stay in the most basic ward.
Even though she was the only person staying in that ward, Azure was still unsatisfied.
The first thing she did after waking up was to seek assistance from Barnaby, who was on vacation in the mountains.
Barnaby had been keeping a low profile lately. Although he couldn’t make it there in person, he expressed his utmost sincerity by sending his personal butler, Chandler Duncan, to attend to Azure.
Chandler arranged for her to be transferred to the VIP ward and brought along two experienced caregivers to take care of Azure, providing her with extravagant accommodation and meals.
Azure had turned her boring hospital stay into a luxury vacation.
When Christina arrived at the ward and saw the scene featuring Azure leisurely watching a television show on the hospital bed with two caregivers serving her, she thought she had entered the wrong room.
Azure snorted in displeasure when she noticed Christina, clearly not welcoming the latter’s presence. “What are you doing here? I’m not dead yet. You don’t need to come to collect my body.”
As that was the Gibson family’s matter, Chandler thought it would be best for him not to get involved. He made an excuse and was about to leave the ward with the two caregivers when Azure stopped him.
“She should leave, not you. What do you think you’re doing? Come back here, all of you.”
Chandler halted in his tracks and explained patiently, “You have something to discuss with Ms. Steele, so it’s not appropriate for us to stay.”
“I have nothing to talk to her about. If there really is something to discuss, why don’t you ask her why she had someone run me over with a car? Clarify this matter so you can report back to Old Mr. Stone about what happened, Azure uttered angrily.
Although Chandler had been instructed to come over and care for Azure, Barnaby didn’t tell him to do anything else. Besides, he wasn’t Azure’s butler. He felt somewhat reluctant to comply whenever she ordered him around condescendingly.
“I’m sorry, Old Mrs. Gibson. The police are still investigating your car accident. Without evidence, I don’t know how to question Ms. Steele either.” Chandler evaded the responsibility. “It’s not suitable for me to get involved in these matters, so we shall stand by outside. You can call us anytime if you need anything.”
With that, Chandler and the two caregivers exited the ward.
Azure grimaced and swept the fruit and pastries off the table.
