A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 756

Chapter 756 War

Christina didn’t bother to ask how he got hurt as she rushed upstairs.

The family doctor was treating Nathaniel’s abdominal wound while the man was in a coma. A thick stench of blood was present in the air inside the bedroom.

It wasn’t until Christina approached Nathaniel that she realized how severe his wounds were.

There was a long gash stretching from his waist to his shoulder blade. The white bed quilt had been drenched in blood. Additionally, there were multiple injuries of varying severity all over his body, but they weren’t lethal.

A chill was sent down Christina’s spine as she watched the family doctor tend to her husband. She felt as though a giant rock was weighing on her chest, causing her to experience a suffocating sense of panic.

After Sebastian had his wounds treated, he rushed over to the bedroom and noticed Christina’s pallid countenance. Swiftly, he suggested, “The stench of blood here is too strong, Mrs. Hadley. It might affect the baby. How about you wait in the neighboring room? I’ll let you know when the doctor is done.”

Knowing that she couldn’t be of any help even if she stuck around, Christina nodded and trudged out of the bedroom.

As she supported herself by pressing a hand on the wall, she took in a deep breath.

Worried, Sebastian asked, “Are you okay?”

She nodded. Moments later, she calmed herself down and turned to Sebastian. He’s also gravely injured, but his wounds aren’t as alarming as Nathaniel’s.

“What happened?” questioned Christina.

“According to today’s schedule, Mr. Hadley was supposed to have a business meeting at a port. Even though the journey was kept a secret, we were ambushed halfway there.” Rage burned in Sebastian’s eyes.” “Whoever they were, they came prepared. Mr. Hadley was slashed in order to protect me.”

Christina asked solemnly, “What kind of business meeting was he supposed to attend?” I have a feeling what it may be since the Hadley family has businesses in various industries, and some of them can only be developed Overseas

Hesitantly, Sebastian informed, “It’s… related to firearms.”

“Have you investigated who’s behind the assault?”

“It’s Sheridan.” A grave expression settled on Sebastian’s face. “After all, he’s Mr. Hadley’s only mighty competitor in this industry. Mr. Stone also wants to make a profit, but his family’s reputation has taken a dip lately. Furthermore, Old Mr. Stone had openly acknowledged and accepted his illegitimate child recently. Hence, the arms dealer thought Mr. Stone’s position as the head of the family might be jeopardized. To avoid unnecessary and unforeseen risks, the arms dealer chose to collaborate with Mr. Hadley. More importantly, after the Hadley family and the Stone family had a public falling-out, the Hadley family stole many projects from under the Stone family. Mr. Stone wouldn’t sit still and do nothing. After all, if he could get his hands on that firearm business, he’d likely have enough funds to prevent Stone Group’s capital chain rupture”

Sheridan! I underestimated how ruthless that man could be. However, Christina was so worried about Nathaniel’s injury at that moment that she didn’t have the extra energy to deal with Sheridan. She asked,

“Why didn’t you send Nathaniel to the hospital?”

“Mr. Hadley told us not to. The arms dealer is an eccentric man. He never conducts business with people who get involved with trouble easily. If news of Mr. Hadley’s ambush is leaked, Mr. Stone will be the one who reaps the benefits in the end,” answered Sebastian. There’s no way we’ll let other people mooch off our efforts when Mr. Hadley almost died for this business.

Christina wasn’t certain what that particular business meant to Nathaniel. Considering how much Nathaniel and Sebastian care about this matter, I bet it has something to do with the Hadley family’s future.
