Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 546

Meanwhile, Christina was in the hospital enjoying Nathaniel’s meticulous care.

Nathaniel had placed the nutritious food that Raymond brought onto the table in front of Christina.

Each dish looked delicious and smelled wonderful. However, something was weighing on Christina’s mind. She forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls before she put her fork down.

Nathaniel frowned and said, “Christina, you should eat some more. Even if you’re not worried about yourself, you should still think of the baby in your womb. I don’t want to see either of you get hurt.”

He sighed before continuing, “I would go crazy if that were to happen.”

Nathaniel had been busy for the past two days and seemed to have lost some weight. Though Christina was worried about Lucas, she also felt bad to see Nathaniel like that.

“Sorry. I’ll do my best to take care of myself.” Christina picked up her fork again and divided the food into two portions. She pushed one portion of the food to Nathaniel and said, “I can’t finish all these by myself. You should eat with me.”

Nathaniel’s lips curved into a resigned smile. “Okay.”

They had just finished eating when they received good news from Lucas’ ward. He was finally awake after sleeping all night.

Christina threw herself onto Lucas’ hospital bed and embraced him. Sobbing, she said, “Lucas, you scared me to death.”

Tears filled Lucas’ eyes when he saw how worried Christina was. “Mommy, I’m okay. Don’t be sad. It’s not good for the baby.”

Julia hurried to persuade Christina, “Lucas is right. It’s good that he’s awake now. As his mother, you should take good care of yourself and make sure nothing happens to you. Otherwise, Lucas would start to worry about you again.”

She then shot a look at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel approached Christina and stood behind her. He helped her sit on the bed before handing her a handkerchief. “Lucas will recover after some rest. What we should do next is to find the mastermind behind the incident. We can’t let Lucas suffer for nothing.”

Christina blew her nose and quickly regained her composure. “I’m sorry for making you all worry.”

Charlie replied, “We’re a family. You don’t need to apologize to us. We’ll leave you to yourselves. Camila is still at home, so your mom and I will go back and accompany her. We’ll come back later to visit you and Lucas.”

Julia reminded them of a few things before she left with Charlie..

The two elders of the Hadley family did not plan to interfere much, as Nathaniel would handle things on his own. Naturally, if he needed their help in the future, they would not stand by and do nothing.

Lucas was the heir to the Hadley family. Since the other party wanted to take Lucas’ life, Charlie would not let the matter go so easily, let alone Nathaniel.

Only Nathaniel, Christina, and Lucas remained in the bright and spacious hospital room.

Lucas’ wide eyes were filled with anticipation as he stared at Christina’s stomach. “Mommy, can I please touch your belly?”

It was natural for a child to be curious. Lucas asked the question because he felt Christina’s tummy seemed to have grown bigger.

Christina held his hand and placed it on her protruding stomach. “Go ahead.”

Lucas’ eyes sparkled with determination despite only gently touching her stomach for a few seconds. “Hello! I’m your older brother! I’ll protect you in the future!”

Christina smiled in response. She held Lucas’s hand and said, “You’re going to be a great older brother.”

Nathaniel pulled a chair to sit beside the bed. He broke the harmonious atmosphere by saying, “Lucas, I need to solve something, but I need your help to do it.”

Lucas stared at Nathaniel. He was smart enough to know what his father meant. “Daddy, are you investigating the person who poisoned me? What is it? I’ll tell you everything I know.”
