Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 120

Christina got to her feet and scanned Francis’ tall figue, feeling hesitant. “I forgot to bring my measuring tape.”

Immediately, Francis narrowed his eyes and glanced at the shoulder bag hanging by her side. She’s hired to design the formal attires. Hoto could she possibly not bring her measuring tapes?

It was clear that she did not want to take his measurements.

“Why don’t you give me your number, then? We can arrange for another time.” While saying that, he took a step forward and caught a whiff of her perfume

It was not a smell that contained alcohol but the fragrance of natural blooming flowers.

Christina nodded and took out her phone to exchange their numbers.

This time, Francis watched her save her number on his phone with his own eyes.

Getting his measurements was the main point of visiong his house. Since that could not be done that day, Christina figured she should just leave early.

However, she was caught off guard the moment she lied her head, and she shuddered like a frightened kitten. Even her hair stood on end.

No matter how calm she looked on the outside, her heart was racing fast. Their lips had almost touched earlier.

Why is he standing so close? It’ll make others suspicious.

Christina’s hand was sweaty as she muttered, “I just remembered I have something to take care of in the office. Please tell Rence I’ll make the arrangement for another day.”

Having said that, she left in a hurry.

The moment she left the house, she was greeted by the winter breeze. Only then did she feel more alive.

Just as she left the residential area, her phone rang. It was a call from the nurse at the hospital.

“Ms. Steele, your mother’s condition has worsened. Please come to the hospital quickly.”

Christina hung up and rushed to the hospital.

The hospital bed was surrounded with all kinds of instruments with her mother lying on it looking extremely pale.

Her mother had been recuperating in a private ward of the hospital. In fact, she would be discharged that month. It did not make sense that her condition had worsened all of a sudden.

Christina tugged at the doctor’s coat and asked urgently, “I thought my mother’s condition was already stable. Didn’t you say she’d recover after recuperating for some time?”

“Logically, yes, but Mrs. Steele’s body deteriorated rapidly. Some of her organs were affected as well.” The doctor was surprised, too. After all, her condition should not have become so serious even if it was

Pausing momentarily, the doctor continued, “There were many bruises on Mrs. Steele’s body made by blunt objects. Do any family members who visited have violent tendencies? Perhaps you can get the police’s help.”

A look of shock appeared on Christina’s face. The idea of her mother getting attacked broke her heart. Could her condition have worsened because someone attacked her?

“I’ll look into this. Please take care of my mother.” Christina responded with a frown.

“We can only use medication to control her condition now. Even if we need to perform surgery, we need to wait until the time when her body can handle it,” answered the doctor with worry.

“All right. I’ll pay the bill now. Please take good care of my mother.”

The doctor nodded. “We’ll do our best.” With that, he walked away.

Christina went to the first floor to settle the bill without wasting any time.

When the cashier handed Christina the bill, the latter realized it cost tens of thousands for one day. It’ll cost at least five hundred thousand a month.

When Radiant Corporation’s fabrics had issues back then, she used the money she earned from Julia to pay for the goods. The company had promised to return the balance to her once the case was over.

She had just enough in her bank to last for a month.
