Chapter 583 He Is All Right
Christina could not comment on Bailey’s statement, as she did not know the whole story.
Feeling sorry for Bailey, she hugged her and gently comforted her, “Bailey, let’s go to the hospital to take care of your wounds first. We’ll talk about this later, okay?”
Bailey buried her face in Christina’s arms as she sobbed.
Sebastian glanced at the two women through the rearview mirror before averting his gaze. He avoided eavesdropping on their conversation and looking at them. He kept his eyes on the road and focused on driving to the nearest hospital.
He chose a hospital that the Hadley family invested in and purposely parked the car in the underground parking. Several doctors and nurses, who had received an order from the higher management, had been waiting for them. They rushed to the car and hurried to help Bailey onto a stretcher before using the elevator to the consultation room.
The entire floor had been cleared in advance.
Christina sat on a bench in the hallway, anxiously awaiting the results of Bailey’s checkup. Nathaniel’s bloodied blazer was draped over her shoulders. Occasionally, she would look up at the closed doors of the consultation room.
She had sent several messages to Nathaniel but did not receive any immediate replies.
She was deeply concerned about Nathaniel’s and Bailey’s situations.
“Mrs. Hadley, it’ll be a while before Ms. Cook’s checkup is complete. You must’ve been frightened. Why don’t I have you registered so you can get a full-body checkup as well?” Sebastian suggested.
Christina shook her head. “I’m fine. The blood on me isn’t mine. Bailey’s emotions are unstable. I’m worried about leaving her alone. It’s better if I wait for her to come out. Mr. Taggart, I can’t reach Nathaniel. How are things at his side?”
Sebastian was also clueless. After all, Nathaniel would usually reply to Christina’s messages first before he replied to others.
“Mrs. Hadley, please don’t worry. There is no problem that Mr. Hadley cannot solve. No one would dare to assume airs in front of him either.” Sebastian chose his words carefully to reassure Christina.
Christina was as pale as paper but still forced a grin on her lips. Suddenly remembering the woman she had smashed with a wine bottle, she asked, “Mr. Taggart, do you happen to know who Zeila Langford is?”
Sebastian felt his head ache when he heard the familiar name. However, he could not lie to Christina about Zeila as he feared she would misjudge the situation and stir up even bigger trouble.
“Ms. Langford is the only daughter of the richest man in Gerton. She and Julian are engaged. The Langford family and the Forrester family are family friends. Half a year ago, they held an engagement party for Zeila and Julian, but their wedding date is yet to be confirmed. The Forrester family prefers to lay low, so the media in the country doesn’t know about the couple’s engagement.”
I didn’t know that Julian was engaged! But if that’s the case, why is he entangled with Bailey?
As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Christina would not push all the responsibility onto Julian without first learning about everything from Bailey.
She tightened her fists. But if I find out that Julian was the one who made the first move, I definitely won’t let him off the hook!
“It must be hard to deal with the Langford family, huh?” Christina asked. “I think I might’ve caused a lot of trouble for Nathaniel”
Christina was sure she had caused a severe injury on Zella’s back from the amount of blood the latter lost.
The Langford family only had one precious daughter. They would not let things slide even if it cost their pride and dignity.
However, Christina did not regret doing it for Bailey.
Sebastian replied. “The Langford and Hadley families are partners. Both families are equal in terms of power too. However, the Langford family still has to be respectful in front of Mr. Hadley. Besides, you’re not the one entirely at fault, Mrs. Hadley. Even if the Langford family has any dissatisfactions, they will have to consider your identity before doing anything.”
Although Sebastian’s words were pleasant to the cars, they failed to comfort Christina.
