Chapter 764 Beyond Fortunate
Christina wouldn’t act ruthlessly like Sheridan, eliminating all potential threats around her by resorting to any possible means.
“The police will come to take your statement tomorrow, so you can hand over the evidence to them at that time. I’ll arrange for someone to follow up on the rest. No matter what decision you make, I will support you unconditionally,” Nathaniel uttered gently.
Upon hearing that, Christina couldn’t help but tear up. “Nathaniel, will you stay with me tomorrow!”
“Okay.” He kissed the corner of her lips but abruptly collapsed into her arms a second later.
Christina was frightened. She reached out to grope him around his waist and discovered her hand was covered with blood. “Someone, hurry up and call a doctor!” How could I have forgotten that he was injured?
Pandemonium reigned in Scenic Garden Manor.
Christina stayed up all night to care for Nathaniel and only succumbed to drowsiness and drifted off to sleep at the edge of the bed as dawn approached.
When she was woken up by Raymond, Nathaniel had yet to regain consciousness,
“Mrs. Hadley, two police officers are waiting for you in the living room downstairs,” Raymond said in a low
voice.
“Please receive them well. I’ll tidy up and come down shortly.” Christina hastily turned around and went into the walk-in closet to change into loungewear. Then, she quickly freshened up and hurried downstairs.
The two police officers who came were familiar faces as they were also in charge of investigating Anya’s case previously. C
Christina exchanged some pleasantries with them before getting to the main topic.
After taking her statement about the explosion that happened downtown yesterday, one of the older police officers said, “After the explosion, we received an anonymous letter and a video at the police station. We’ve identified the handwriting to be Emilia’s, and she confessed to many criminal activities in the letter and the video, including testifying against Yerek
The other police officer chimed in, “After investigating, we found that Yerek was involved in the explosion. The police have initiated an arrest warrant for him. In the meantime, please try to stay home as much as possible.”
Christina didn’t expect Emilia to have that trick left up her sleeve. She handed the flash drive to the older police officer. “I haven’t seen the contents, but this is a critical piece of evidence. My only wish is for you to enforce the law impartially and deliver justice to me.”
The old police officer exchanged glances with his partner. Then, he reached out and received the flash drive. “Rest assured, Mrs. Hadley. The higher-ups are paying close attention to this case. We will give you a satisfactory answer in due course. We have to leave for now.”
“Thank you.” Christina got up to see them out. After handing over the flash drive, she felt a wave of relief
wash over her.
At that moment, Raymond approached her and said, “Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Hadley has woken up.”
Christina put all her worries aside, turned around, and hastened upstairs.
Over the next fortnight, Christina and Nathaniel were holed up in Scenic Garden Manor most of the time.
Nathaniel recuperated while Christina was focused on resting for her pregnancy.
Sebastian and Victoria came to visit Christina, but Nathaniel disdained them for interrupting his private moments with Christina. He chased them away with a grimace and gave Sebastian an extended paid leave.
Christina had Lucas and Camila stay with them for a while, but the two kids always clung to Christina, wanting her to tuck them in every night. Feeling threatened, Nathaniel sent the children back to the Hadley residence under the pretext of Christina requiring rest.
“Why are you jealous of Lucas and Camila? They’re just kids and are at the age where they need their parents’ care and company the most.” Christina glared at Nathaniel in dissatisfaction.
He was unfazed and continued peeling an orange for her. “They’re too boisterous. Once you’ve given birth, we’ll have plenty of time to live together. Besides, Mom and Dad won’t feel lonely either with the kids staying over at their place.”
Christina couldn’t refute him because of how justified his reasons were.
Subsequently, the days passed by peacefully. Nonetheless, they also received some good news during that period.
