Chapter 241 Difficult Times
In the past, what Christina most desired was to see her brother at home. She eagerly awaited the holidays
when she could reunite with him during school breaks
Later, when he married Natalie, she still hoped he would come back often.
However, these past few days have felt like an eternity for her.
Natalie was dead.
Although the firefighters eventually rescued her from the blaze, it was reported that she didn’t survive an hour after being saved.
Stephen came to take her away for cremation,
Christina harbored a deep hatred for Natalie, resenting her significant role in Cedric’s world.
Yet, even so, it was hard to muster up any feelings of happiness right now.
Because the man she loved… had a debt to settle with her for the sake of that dead woman.
Christina had never been so afraid to face Cedric.
She feared that he might confront her for that woman’s sake. She worried that the cruelty he once directed at Natalie would now be turned against her.
Would that cruelty slowly accumulate and be focused on her?
“Miss, have some oranges; they’re very sweet.”
Wanda stood behind Christina, holding the fruit. Her voice was soft and gentle.
Christina hadn’t eaten much these past two days despite her previous fondness for the snacks Wanda
used to make for her.
However, these two days…
No matter how much effort she put into it, Christina never took a single bite.
“I don’t want to eat!”
Christina lacked patience at this moment, and she was irritated by Wanda’s kindness.
“Miss, how can you not eat? You’ll collapse if you continue like this.”

“I wish I had burned in that fire instead,” Christina said bitterly.
Yes. Once a person was dead, that was the end. It was those who lived that suffered! The living was.
constantly tormented and experiencing unpleasant feelings
After she said that, Wanda was shocked.
“No! Miss, what are you saying? Don’t say such ominous things.”
The idea of death made Wanda uneasy.
She knew exactly what was on Christinas mind.
So she advised. ‘Miss, why worry about such things? Now that the woman is dead, would Master Cedric
still treat you differently because of a dead person?”
Christina was silent.
That woman was dead!
Turning back to Wanda, she looked at her with a complex and uncertain expression.
“Wanda, do you know what that card he saw means for Natalie and me?”
It signified the exchange of their previous positions.
It meant that since Cedric had been cruel to Natalie before, he would now feel guilty and pained towards
her.
It also meant that Christina would be facing Cedric’s wrath.
Wanda didn’t care about these implications; she just felt sorry for the currently tormented Christina,
“What does it mean? Miss, you have Madam Rebecca and Madam Elizabeth Did you forget that?”
“But I want him!” Christina said, expressing her heartache.
She could do without anyone from the Johnson family, but losing Cedric was something she couldn’t bear.
He was the love of her life. As the thought of possibly losing Cedric this time crossed her mind, she regretted that she had asked Cedric
to go to her room to fetch the necklace just to spite Isabella.
Wanda looked at the pain in Christina’s eyes and set the fruit plate aside to embrace her.
She said, “Shh, I know.”
“Wanda, I can’t lose him,” Christina said with tears streaming down her face.

Wanda patted her shoulder.
“Yes, I know. Shh, it’s okay. I know, hmm?”
At that moment, despite the loving tone in Wanda’s voice, a glint of determination flashed in her eyes as
if she had made some significant decision.
As Wanda’s warm arms circled around her, Christina broke down completely, crying like a child.
“Wanda”
At the hospital, Rebecca had only gone to the restroom for a moment. When she returned, Cedric was nowhere to be found.
Her heart skipped a beat, especially when she saw the hospital gown on the bed, confirming that Cedric
had left.
“Lucas? Lucas! Rebecca called for Lucas, but he was also nowhere to be seen. Undoubtedly, he had left.
Frantically pulling out her phone, she quickly dialed a number, and Wanda’s voice came from the other
end.
“Hello?”
“It’s me.”
“Madam Rebecca,” Wanda greeted.
Rebecca urgently said, “Hurry, get Tina to my mother!”
“What happened?” Wanda tensed when she heard Rebecca’s words.
Rebecca felt that something big was about to happen.
She knew her son too well,
He had been so ruthless to Natale regarding Isabella’s matter. Now that Natalie was gone, he couldn’t
contain his emotions.
So, he would likely find someone to vent his frustrations on…
And that someone was undoubtedly Christina!
She even dared to assume that If it weren’t for the fire at the detention center that night, he might have

After all, there had been such a ruthless glint in his eyes!
“Cedric might have gone back,” Rebecca said.
Hearing that Cedric might be heading back and the fact that Rebecca had urgently called her to bring
Christina to Elizabeth, Wanda knew that things involving Natalie weren’t that straightforward.
“Yes, of course, I understand,” Wanda said and hung up the phone.
Wanda turned around and saw Christina sitting on the sofa by the French window. Hurriedly, she stepped
forward.
