A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 670

Chapter 670 Lingering

Nathaniel could just deal with Anya without seeking Christina’s opinion, but her opinion was something he valued.

Nevertheless, Christina’s answer delighted him.

“I’ll give you results you’ll be contented with,” Nathaniel answered, his lips curling as a vicious look flashed past his eyes.

For the next two days, Christina stayed in the hospital to recover. The relocation of Gibson Corporation was left to Nathaniel, and she enjoyed the momentary freedom from her usual tasks.

Nathaniel was traveling back and forth between the hospital and Gibson Corporation. Sometimes, he even had to work overtime to deal with Gibson Corporation’s matters. He was exhausted, but he was gladly taking everything on.

“Christina, it’s sudden, but I need to meet a client. If I don’t come back in time, the nurse will accompany you for the test instead. Go back to the ward once you’re done with it; don’t wander elsewhere. I’ll come and pick you up to take you to the airport tonight,” Nathaniel said to Christina.

Christina chuckled. “Don’t worry and just focus on work. I’m not a kid. Stay safe on your way there.”

Nathaniel then made a cup of hot milk and washed some fruits for her before leaving with a lighter heart.

After that, Christina took a nap. When the afternoon came, the nurse brought her to another room for her

test.

“Wait,” Christina suddenly said. She turned around to look at the corridor behind her, but she did not see anyone suspicious. There were only medical staff and patients with their families around.

“Ms. Steele, is something the matter?” the nurse curiously asked her. “Did you leave something behind?”

Christina looked away and took out her phone from her pocket. As she gave the nurse an apologetic smile, she said, “Sorry, I thought I dropped my phone, but it was actually in my pocket all along. I’m fine now. Let’s go back.”

The nurse then wheeled Christina into the elevator.

With a neutral look on her face, Christina watched the elevator doors close. Yet, the fear that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand lingered.

There was no way she was just being paranoid. Ever since she came out of her ward, she sensed a pair of eyes following her wherever she went.

It was impossible for those eyes to belong to Nathaniel’s guard, for she already had Lyle as a bodyguard.

She had sent Lyle out to buy cake, and he would not be back so soon. Moreover, there was no need for Lyle to watch her from the shadows.

When Christina returned to her ward, she scanned every corner and everything within her line of sight. Finally, her gaze landed on the fruits and half–finished cup of hot milk on the coffee table.

All of a sudden, she grabbed her calf as a look of pain manifested on her face. “Ow! My calf hurts! I think it’s cramping!”

Not daring to risk anything happening to Christina, the nurse quickly summoned the other staff. A nurse aide hurried to the ward, and the two helped Christina onto the bed to lie down before taking turns to massage her calf.

Christina felt immensely guilty to watch them busy over her.

Nonetheless, before she could find out who was tailing her, she could not stay in the ward alone. That would be putting herself in danger.

She and her baby could no longer bear any more risks.

Half an hour later, Lyle returned with desserts, and Christina found an excuse to dismiss the nurse aide.

When Lyle put the desserts on the coffee table, he froze. Then, he turned to Christina and asked, “Mrs. Hadley, did you touch anything on the coffee table after returning to the ward?”

“No,” Christina uttered in a low voice. “Your guess is right. Someone came into the ward earlier and tampered with the things on the table.”
