A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719 A Misunderstanding

The medical team soon arrived in haste. They had to check Timothy’s condition thoroughly, so Christina had to leave the ward and wait outside anxiously.

“Mrs. Hadley, why don’t you take a seat and try to relax for a moment?” Lyle suggested in a gentle tone after noting Christina’s unsettled emotions. “The doctors are currently examining Mr. Gibson, and it may take some time for the results to be available. Do you need water or food? I can get someone to buy some for you.

Christina was completely focused on Timothy’s well-being and couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

Shaking her head, she replied, “No need for that. I’m not hungry or thirsty. If you need to grab a bite, go ahead. I’ll be fine alone.”

“If you need me, just let me know.” Lyle remained by Christina’s side silently, keeping her company until the results came out.

The exantination went on for over an hour. Timothy remained unconscious, showing no signs of stirring despite the doctors’ efforts to rouse him. It felt like Christina had imagined his fingers twitching earlier.

“Mrs, Hadley, please remain patient. I have confidence that Mr. Gibson will regain consciousness soon,”“” the attending physician reassured Christina calmly.

He left with his team after giving Christina some medical advice.

Christina remained in the ward until evening.

Nathaniel left work earlier than usual, eager to spend some quality time alone with Christina at home. However, upon arriving home, he was greeted by Raymond, who informed him that Christina had not yet returned.

A sense of unease washed over Nathaniel as his attempts to reach her went unanswered. He was on the verge of mobilizing a search team to find her when a timely call from Lyle came in, halting his actions.

Nathaniel immediately made his way to Timothy’s ward. Christina could barely hide her surprise when he showed up. “Nathaniel? Why are you here?”

After confirming that she was safe and sound, Nathaniel did his best to tamp down his irritation. “I didn’t see you at home after getting off work earlier than usual, and Raymond told me you’ve been out the whole day. I was worried and decided to come over to visit you and Dad,” he said gently.

Christina belatedly realized she had been in the hospital for way too long. She shot him an apologetic look. “I’m sorry. It completely slipped my mind how much time had passed. I had my phone on silent mode since I was at the hospital, and I failed to notice your calls. You must’ve been worried sick.”

“It’s fine. Just take note next time.” Nathaniel went over to her and glanced at Timothy. “I heard the doctor say Dad should regain consciousness these few days and that he showed signs of waking today.”

“That’s right. He can understand us.” Christina eagerly shared the good news with him. “I’ve arranged a place for him to stay in after he gets discharged from the hospital. I hope he’ll like it.”

Nathaniel assured her, “Dad will love anything you prepare for him.”

“Mm.” Tears welled up in Christina’s eyes.

Nathaniel kept Christina company in the ward for over half an hour before they left the hospital together.

The moment the door clicked shut behind them, Timothy’s fingers twitched, and he slowly opened his

eyes.

The following morning, Christina was woken up by a call from the hospital before the sun was up.

“What? My father is missing?” Christina’s body froze as if struck by lightning upon hearing the nurse’s words. It took her a moment to collect herself, and her voice grew icy. “When did you realize he was missing?”
