The light in Christina's bedroom was bright, and it was even a little dazzling. It was strange because it was dark all around the house.
It was at midnight, and she still turned on all the lights.
Nanny Faang knocked on the door and walked in with a bowl of herb soup with sedative effectes in her hand. The doctor asked Christina to take it regularly.
Christina turned around and suddenly shouted angrily, "I'm not sick!"
Nanny Faang was shocked. She felt that Christina was in a particularly irritable mood tonight, but she didn't think too much. Instead, she put the herb soup on the table and said gently, "This kind of chinese medicine can be taken even if you are sick. It helps you sleep..."
"Young Master Hopkins seems to be busy tonight. He's not going home. Go to bed early."
Nanny Faang finished her sentence quickly and walked away quietly. She went out and closed the door. Suddenly, the sound of a bowl being broken came from the room.
Nanny Faang stood outside the door and frowned. Every night, two maids were on duty outside the master bedroom. The maids looked panicked. Ever since the doctor prescribed medicine for their young madam, they, as servants, were often worried about any unexpected accidents.
"Nanny Faang, young madam has been really abnormal recently. She refuses to drink the herb soup and must turn on all the lights at night..."
Nanny Faang scolded the maid angrily, "Stop saying this."
"Okay." The maid bowed her head.
Christina was anxious under the bright light. She couldn't sleep. Her confused thoughts were intertwined in her mind, and she was restless.
Patrick seemed to be busy tonight. He was a busy man, and they really had little time to sit down and talk.
She had a lot of things to say to him, but these things could not be explained in a single phone call. Her mind was in a mess and was about to explode. She didn't know how to start their conversation.
"Young madam, where are you going?"
The two maids outside the door were rattled. Looking at Christina, who had changed into a new outfit, they knew that she was going out in the middle of the night.
"I'm going to the hospital to see Charles's brother."
Christina rummaged through her handbag for the car keys and said quickly, "If anyone here asks about me, you can say that the Shepherd family needs me to come over. I was a witness at that time. I should go over to explain clearly and provide help..."
"But, but..." The maid hesitated and felt that it was inappropriate. "Young madam, it's already 2: 00 in the morning. Why don't you ask the driver to send you there at dawn..."
Christina looked at them with a serious look. "Do you want to disturb Senior Mr. Hopkins's rest at midnight for such a small matter!" She clutched the car keys in her right hand.
"No, no." The maids were frightened by her imposing manner and immediately lowered their heads.
"Call me if something is wrong. Don't worry. I'm not gonna turn my phone off."
After saying this, Christina quickly walked downstairs in her high heels. Even the man on duty downstairs who wanted to contact her driver was rejected by her. She drove faster by herself.
The congested road during the day seemed empty and cold at midnight. Christina drove very fast as if she was venting the depression in her heart.
She really couldn't sleep. The bedroom was very comfortable but she couldn't feel cozy there.
Her uneasy heart seemed to have nowhere to rest. She was very upset, so she simply went to the hospital and waited for Peter to wake up. Maybe after Peter woke up, she could know something.
The people from the Shepherd family were surprised to see her.
"How is Peter now? When will he wake up?"
Christina looked anxious. She was driving an open-top sports car. The night wind messed up her hair, and she didn't seem to care about these personal etiquette.
"He has accepted a detailed examination. He is fine, but he is malnourished. The doctor said he would wake up in 24 hours..."
As Mrs. Shepherd spoke, she looked at Christina and asked, "Did you come here alone?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Shepherd frowned. "But it's 2: 00 in the morning..." It was strange that a woman rushed to the hospital in such a hurry as if she could not wait for a moment. "Christina, go back to rest first. Thanks for your concern for Peter."
Christina found an empty seat and sat down. She looked calm. "I'm not sleepy. I'll wait with you."
She spoke without hesitation, but Mrs. Shepherd and Mr. Shepherd looked at each other and both felt that it was inappropriate. Christina and their eldest son were not close. How could this be... And she was the granddaughter-in-law of Hopkins family.
Mrs. Shepherd looked at Christina who sat in the hospital chair and felt that it was a little awkward. "Christina, you don't have to wait here. I will ask my husband to take you home..."
"I can't fall asleep at home." Christina did not look up and mumbled.
Mrs. Shepherd looked at her doubtfully, not sure if she had misheard Christina's words.
Peter's younger brother came over, and the young man did not have so many polite scruples. "Mom, she wants to stay here. Why do you want to chase her away?"
Mrs. Shepherd glared at him angrily.
