The crescent moon hung in the sky as Christina twitched her brows. She opened her eyes, feeling a throbbing pain in her head.
The door to the ward was pushed open, and two figures walked in.
Sebastian whispered. “Mr. Hadley, I’ve discovered that despite the other party’s claim of drunk driving, it is evident that the two collisions were intentional. It seems that the person had a deliberate motive to…”
He hesitated to utter the word “kill”
“I suspect that the side collision we experienced last time was not an accident either…” Sebastian’s voice grew softer.
Being involved in two consecutive car accidents was too much of a coincidence. Who on earth wants us dead
“Keep this a secret for now, Don’t tell Mrs. Hadley about it. I don’t want her to worry,” Nathaniel said icily.
His voice was deep. It sounded even more suppressed in the dimly lit room.
As footsteps neared the bedside, Nathaniel’s handsome face came into view. “Nathaniel…”
“Don’t move.” Nathaniel took a seat by the bed, carefully assisting her in leaning against the headboard. “Is your head still hurting?”
His gentle voice provided Christina with a sense of security. “I feel much better now, but I’m just feeling a bit nauseous.”
“The doctor said you can only eat thirty minutes after you wake up.” Nathaniel reached out to massage her temples gently as if he was massaging an infant.
Christina nodded. “What happened earlier?”
“The driver behind us was drunk, but the police have taken him away. Everything is fine,” Nathaniel explained casually.
Christina’s face darkened. That’s not what Sebastian said earlier. Who could be behind this? Why didn’t he inform me about such a dangerous situation?
Christina held his hand. “If there’s any danger, you have to let me know. Even if I can’t be of much help. I can at least be there with you.”
Images of Nathaniel carrying her and running on the road filled her mind.
The genuine concern in his eyes was unmistakably sincere.
Knowing how deeply Nathaniel cared for her, Christina felt a warm sensation surging through her heart, embracing her with a comforting warmth.
Hence, she wanted to give their relationship another chance.
Nathaniel gently held her face in his hands and tenderly caressed it. “You silly girl. What danger could possibly come my way? Furthermore, people always say that good fortune would follow after we survive a great peril. From now on, everything will go smoothly.”
Christina could not help but chuckle, her eyes blinked like an adorable kitten.
Sebastian could not believe his eyes.
He never expected to witness the usually serious Nathaniel cracking jokes to bring a smile to Christina’s face Hi’ only they could stay like this forever.
“Prepare some oatmeal and bring it over half an hour later,” Nathaniel ordered in a deep voice. Get out of here. Sebastian.
Only then did Sebastian realize that he was intruding on their private moment. “All right, I’ll see to it right
now.”
After closing the door behind him. Nathaniel held Christina even tighter.
“Your head…” After catching a strong scent of antiseptic, Christina finally noticed the bandaged wound on Nathaniel’s head.
A white gauze was faintly stained with traces of red blood.
“Does it hurt?” The thought of Nathaniel carrying her all the way despite his injury weighed heavily on Christina’s heart.
“No, it doesn’t. I’m a man with thick skin.” Nathaniel gave a rather official explanation.
Once again, Christina could not help but let out a chuckle. His skin is not thick at all. In fact, it’s so delicate. His features are well-defined, and he’s handsome beyond comparison!
“It’s good to finally see you laugh. I was so worried about you,” he said.
Christina immediately stopped laughing. She stared at Nathaniel with wide eyes.
Their gazes met, filled with indescribable emotions blossoming between them.
Nathaniel held her hand. “Christina, let’s stop fighting, shall we? I like you so, so much.”
