My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 348

Christina walked down the stairs quickly, not even taking the elevator. She lowered her head and strode through the crowded hospital corridor with flustered steps.

As soon as she walked out of the lobby on the first floor, a trail of footsteps approached behind her.

She subconsciously thought it to be Patrick. With an angry expression on her face, she turned around and was about to speak, but the person in front of her shouted even more anxiously, "Christian, how's your father now?"

Christina stopped and looked at Crystal in astonishment, who was rushing over.

After running up to her, Crystal rested her hands on her waist, almost out of breath. "I, I just heard from Chandler that your father suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage yesterday afternoon. He said it was serious... Don't, don't worry too much. Your father will be fine." Crystal comforted her while panting.

Christina did not know why Crystal had stayed in C City for so long, but now meeting her friend, she could finally relax her tense nerves. Her eyes turned red in an instant. She took a big step forward and hugged Crystal with both hands.

Crystal was petite, and the unexpected warm hug from Christina made her a little uncomfortable.

Christina usually wouldn't get close to others, but now she was really flustered.

"Crystal, I'm not my father's daughter. They're all lying to me... I'm the one who hurt them all." Christina's long hair covered the sadness in her eyes. With her head resting on Crystal's shoulder, she had finally found someone to confide in, but it was more like she was talking to herself.

Crystal could not hear her murmur clearly. She only felt that Christina was blaming herself.

Crystal was about to say a few words of comfort, but as she looked up, she noticed two familiar handsome figures at the elevator exit in front of her.

It was Patrick Hopkins and Charles Shepherd.

Crystal saw that Patrick obviously glanced at them. Instead of coming over, he turned and walked in another direction.

However, Charles approached them gracefully.

As a sensitive person, Christina had noticed footsteps approaching behind her. She was used to hiding her weakness, so she let go of Crystal instantly and returned to her usual indifference.

If it weren't for her red eyes, Crystal would have thought that her loss was just an illusion.

People around Christina all said that she had a noble family background and good luck, but in fact, she never complained to others and pretended to live a good life.

Charles was quite sure that Christina's red eyes were caused by her crying. So he cautiously stood a meter away from the two women, not daring to approach them easily.

Women could be really scary sometimes.

Christina told Crystal about her father's operation in a casual tone, and then went to the hospital restaurant to look for her aunt and grandmother with Crystal. As for the sneaky Mr. Shepherd behind them, Christina just ignored him.

It was about 500 meters from the inpatient building to the hospital's restaurant. Crystal walked side by side with Christina and checked her expression worriedly from time to time. After hesitating for a while, Crystal asked, "Christina, do you know that Connie was caught by the police?"

No matter what happened, Connie was the daughter-in-law of the Dickens family, and nominally Christina's stepmother. Therefore, Crystal shared the news with her as soon as herself knew.

Christina turned to her with surprise in her eyes. It was obvious that she did not know about it.

Crystal continued, "I heard it from Chandler. It should be true."

"In this early morning, C City dispatched many police forces to arrest Connie. It seemed that she had committed a major crime. The paparazzi had taken photos of her being handcuffed, but Chandler said those photos were taken down, and the news was blocked... I was wondering if Connie had offended some big shot."

Connie was in the entertainment industry. It was normal for some paparazzi to film and broadcast some gossip scandals. Every star experienced this thing more or less. But now the media was clearly prohibited from getting involved in this matter.

Christina's expression was getting heavier.
