Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 260

Nathaniel sat by the bed, watching over Christina intently while his hand held onto hers.

According to the doctor, her injury wasn’t too serious, and she would wake up once the anesthesia wore off.

Still, Nathaniel couldn’t help but worry. Christina would surely be terrified if she were to wake up and not see him next to her.

Outside the window, the pitch-black sky began to glower in what felt like a blink of an eye.

As the morning rays seeped into the room at dawn, Nathaniel finally realized he had remained seated there the whole night.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and Sebastian walked in. Seeing Christina lying in bed made him inexplicably upset.

“We’ve got the culprit, Mr. Hadley, but we’re waiting for the police to interrogate them before we can move on to the next step,” he leaned into Nathaniel’s ear and reported.

The latter’s eyes narrowed, and his wrath instantly permeated the air in the entire room. “Follow the police closely. I want to know every single detail.”

There’s no way they’d attack her without reason. They wouldn’t do that just because they wanted to steal her work. Someone must be behind this whole incident.

“Yes, Mr. Hadley,” Sebastian answered and left right away.

A nurse came in to replace Christina’s bag a while later, and she couldn’t help but glance at the man sitting nearby. He was extraordinarily handsome but looked so icy that one might get frostbite just from being gazed at by him.

“Ah! It hurts…” A meek voice cried out softly.

After a long slumber, Christina finally opened her eyes only to shut them immediately due to the glaring sunlight. A wave of pain came from the back of her head, causing her to nearly pass out again

“I’ll get the doctor!” the nurse announced hastily upon seeing her wake up.

After her eyes had adjusted to the light, Christina opened them once again to observe her surroundings. Then, it dawned on her that she was in a hospital ward after seeing the white walls.

Her chest tightened momentarily before easing up.

“Christina! You’re awake.” Nathaniel rushed over to the bedside and touched her forehead with the back of his hand. She’s not feverish. Thank goodness.

Like a lazy kitten, Christina leaned into his arms, appearing as though she hadn’t recovered from the shock.

“Does it hurt anywhere?” Nathaniel asked, holding her by the shoulders.

“Yeah. My head hurts so much. Is it bleeding? I remember someone hitting me from behind…”

Christina tried to remember what she saw before losing consciousness. She felt as if she had seen that man

な

before.

I think he was one of the guys who tried to hurt me back at the mansion. Are these people for real? They came all the way to the competition just to look for me? What did I ever do to make someone try to get back at me like this?

Nathaniel caressed her head as he gazed at her tenderly. “Don’t worry. We’ve caught the guy, and the police are interrogating him now. We’ll be sure to get something out of him.”

Christina scoffed. “Those guys are crazy. We can’t let him off no matter what.”

She was supposed to celebrate her joyous victory with Nathaniel today, but now, everything had been ruined.

As the two exchanged a few more words, the doctor entered and gave Christina a full-body check-up.

How she wanted her assailant to be struck the exact same way so he could feel how much pain she was in

-The thought of her current appearance made her swear at her assailant internally. That b*stard! The police

should really lock up a dangerous guy like him.
