Marrying the Ugly Heir for Truth and Wealth novel Chapter 572

That gentle yet reassuring voice snapped Christina out of her frenzied state instantly.

A warm pair of hands then reached out to hold her arms steady, and a familiar fragrant scent filled her nose. Her body instinctively went limp and fell into the man's embrace.

Suddenly, the look on Christina's face changed as she clutched at her tummy and panted in pain. “M-My tummy hurts, Nathaniel!”

She was so worricd about Sharon’s safety that she ran all the way to the hospital, only to be hit by such shocking news upon arrival. The amount of physical and emotional stress placed on her body was too much for her to bear, and this was its way of giving her a warning.

Nathaniel tensed up the moment he heard that. He quickly scooped Christina into his arms and shoutcd in panic, “Get a doctor over here, Sebastian! Hurry up!”

Gideon froze as he watched Nathaniel and Sebastian run off in a hurry. It wasn't until they were out of sight that he slumped weakly to the floor.

OA, no... I think I might have messed up again...

With both Christina and Sharon in danger, even Nathaniel struggled to look after them.

Tt wasn't clear how Julia and Charlie found out about it, but they had ended their vacation in advance and rushed over to the hospital.

Julia’s eyes reddened the moment she entered the ward and saw Nathaniel sitting next to Christina's bed with a lifeless look on his face. “What happened, Nathaniel? How is Christina doing?”

Charlie wrapped an arm around Julia's shoulder and said, “Maybe you should save the questions for later, Julia. I'm sure Nathaniel is worried sick about Christina right now. We can always ask them what happened when she wakes up.”

Julia nodded and wiped her tears off her face.

Charlie shot Nathaniel a glance and let out a sigh. “Nathaniel, your mother and I are going to pay Sharon a visit now. We'll help look after her, so you just stay here with Christina. Don't overwork yourself, or she'll be upset when she wakes up.”

As Nathanicl did not respond, Charlic couldn't tell if he had even heard what he said. Charlie then grabbed Julia by the hand and led her out of the ward.

Upon arriving at the floor where Sharon's ward was, they saw a suspicious-looking man peeking inside.

“Who are you? What are you doing?” Julia yelled at the man, frightening him so much that he turned around and ran off immediately.

Julia was about to give chase, but Charlie stopped her and said, “Don't bother chasing him. This hospital has surveillance cameras everywhere, so catching him won't be a problem. I'll have someone pull up the footage later. Right now, our main priority is to find Sharon's doctor and ask him about her condition. We're here to help Nathaniel and Christina relieve some of their burdens, not create more problems.”

Julia nodded obediently and did exactly as Charlie said.

Christina woke up from a nightmare shortly after Julia and Charlie left her ward.

Nathaniel kept calling out to her, but she simply sat there and stared blankly at the ceiling.

That drove Nathanicl's anxicty levels through the roof. “Look at me, Christina! That was just a nightmare! Everything is all right! Dreams are the opposite of reality, remember? Your mother's surgery was a success. The doctor said she's in no danger.”

Christina turned toward Nathaniel and stared blankly at him for a few seconds before snapping out of her dazed state.

“My mother is fine, right?” she asked anxiously while grabbing his hand.

“Yes, she's fine,” Nathaniel reassured her.

As Christina yanked her blanket off and tried to jump out of bed, her gaze fell upon her tummy, and she quickly recalled the pain she felt earlier.

“My baby...” she sobbed while rubbing her tummy.
