Christina was in a mall buying a computer. Before getting one, she received an urgent call.
Then she rushed to the airport, took a short flight, and went to the central hospital in C city.
She hadn't contacted anyone from the Dickens family for a long time. Last Christmas, she didn't even call to greet them. Everyone had their own lives and had long been used to cutting off contact.
But when Christina heard that her father was suddenly seriously ill, her heart sank.
"How... How is he?"
When Christina arrived at the hospital, it was already 11 pm and the inpatient facility was quiet. When she came to the ward, she saw her grandmother, Mrs. Dickens, talking to the director of the hospital.
Mrs. Dickens's eyes reddened when she saw Christina coming. She grabbed Christina's arm and asked, "Where's Patrick? Why didn't the people from Hopkins family come?"
She really didn't know what to say. Her grandmother was still so stubborn and snobbish.
"Did you really divorce him? You are so stupid! You really should have asked him for compensation when you lost your child. Now your father is ill, what do you think we should do? Who can we ask for help..."
Mrs. Dickens cried as she spoke. Christina usually liked to talk back to them, but it was rare for her grandmother to be so flustered. Her grandmother and her father came from a poor family. Perhaps this also made them more infatuated with power and money.
She used to hate their lifestyle, but now that she had gone through so many things, she felt that it was not easy for them, especially since her grandmother was so old.
People really changed a lot when they grew up.
"Grandma, sit here. I'll talk to the doctor."
Christina couldn't pretend to be friendly. She lowered her voice and helped Mrs. Dickens sit on a chair beside her. Then she went into the doctor's office with the director to talk about it in detail.
"Your father was going to work this morning. Suddenly, his car hit a guardrail on the side, and then passers-by called the police and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. He is out of danger now..." The doctor gave her a rough idea of the incident.
"My dad has been in good health all the time and I've never heard of anything wrong with him. Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"
Christina questioned it at once. There were so many conspiracies happening around her that she had to suspect it.
"Whether someone caused the car to hit the guardrail or not, we would need to wait for the traffic police's investigation results. But it seems that you don't know about your father's health condition."
The doctor picked up the CT scans, X-rays, and various documents and handed them to her. "Your father should have been in the habit of drinking, smoking, and staying up late for a long time."
"He has liver cirrhosis and his lungs are also not very well. This time, the main cause of the accident is myocardial hemorrhage..."
Christina listened in astonishment.
She really didn't know that her father, Donald, was in such poor health.
"Then, how is he now?" She asked, trembling.
"Don't worry too much. He has to stay in the ICU for two more days and we can decide how to treat him when his condition is stable."
Donald was a very famous entrepreneur in C city, and the hospital director and senior management also knew him. And this director was specially sent to perform the operation for Donald and he did not dare to be careless.
"Mr. Dickens was fortunate. His cardiovascular suddenly ruptured and bled, but the amount of blood loss was small. He was sent to the hospital in time, but his cardiovascular was weak, and his whole body was also weak..."
The doctor paused, looked at her, and reminded her, "Don't provoke him."
Christina nodded stiffly.
All the insiders knew that Donald, the richest man in C City, came from a poor family. When he was young, he married the eldest lady of the Eisenhower family and became what he was now with the support of the Eisenhower family. Besides, Donald's personal life was also a common topic that was secretly talked about in the circle, such as cutting off with his daughter.
Christina hated her father. He cheated on her mother and brought a mistress home, which caused her mother's death. He was ungrateful and didn't deserve her grandfather's support.
But now...
