Chapter 565
“Christina, this is Patrick Hopkins.”
Betty introduced him hastily, “He’s your husband.”
“Impossible!”
Almost without thinking, Christina denied it. She looked at the man in front of her warily, “Auntie, although I don’t remember those things, he can’t be my husband.”
Her tone was very certain.
As soon as she said that, everyone present was stunned.
Patrick’s cold face was emotionless. Squinting, he looked at her with a sharper and hotter gaze.
Being stared at, she felt uncomfortable. Hiding behind Betty, she sat on the bed and subconsciously curled up. She didn’t dare to look steadily at him.
She felt that it was all a scam.
After waking up, she only remembered that she was preparing for the college entrance examination. These strangers, and her father, Donald, who became strange, made her uncomfortable.
She could accept them slowly. But it was impossible for her to recognize this man as her husband.
“Auntie, there must be something wrong.”
Leaning closer to Betty’s ear, she said anxiously with a low voice.
“Have you been deceived by these people… You know clearly that I like boys like Eric who are easy to bully, or fat people with good temper, or cooks who are good at cooking.”
“How could I marry such a cold man?” Her voice was full of complaints.
“You won’t agree with me marrying such a person, will you?”
Betty kept whispering in her ear all day before. She said that to be rich or not was not the most important thing for a man. The key was to be considerate and have a good temper. Look at Patrick. He couldn’t have a good temper.
With a complicated expression, Betty didn’t know how to explain it to her for a moment.
In retrospect, at first, she did not agree with Christina and Patrick’s marriage. Even though she knew that they were married and Christina was pregnant, she still insisted that they be separated because the Hopkins family
were
was unattainable.
But then, a lot of things changed her mind, and the Hopkins family had never treated Christina badly.
“Christina, Patrick treats you well all the time. You are really a couple.” Betty looked embarrassed, “What I told you before will change.”
Anyway, Christina didn’t believe it.
She refused to admit their relationship.
The atmosphere became solemn and tense.
Everyone looked at Patrick. Definitely, he could hear the conversation between Christina and Betty in a low voice. And he knew that she denied their relationship.
“What do you think our relationship should be?” Patrick still stared at her with burning eyes and asked her in a deep voice.
Looking up, she couldn’t reply.
The expression in her eyes was familiar.
She was also familiar with his expression, movements, and appearance.
He seemed to think that she was the same as before. He said with a calm tone, “Brianna hurt you. I apologize to you for her. She will be punished accordingly… I will deal with other things that happened.”
His voice was naturally arrogant, distant and cold, but it was reassuring.
She felt a sense of security inexplicably from his simple words.
It seemed that as long as he was there, no matter what happened, she didn’t need to worry.
It was as if she had a firm trust in him in her heart.
She was just about to say something to him to communicate.
“Go through the discharge formalities and let her go home as soon as possible.”
He suddenly turned around and stopped looking at her. His voice was cold and deep. Not asking her opinion, he ordered Nanny Faang who was in the room.
“Yes.” Nanny Faang was happy to see Patrick and immediately led a maid out to handle.
Then he strode out of the room.
Christina stared blankly without the chance to speak.
He actually left!
“That’s too much!”
“What? The doctor clearly said that I had to be under observation for a few more days. The wound on my left chest is still pained!” She was a patient now, but he didn’t care about her injury at all.
She was angry. He did not communicate with her at all. He was a male chauvinist, “I can’t love him before. How could I marry him?” She scolded angrily.
Betty, who was sitting beside the bed, sighed. She didn’t know how to explain it. Patrick’s temper was quite incomprehensible.
He just walked out of the room. When he heard her words full of resentment, he stopped for a moment.
“Patrick, her wound is deep. You should have communicated with her just now.”
Charles muttered in a low voice. He felt that it was inappropriate for Patrick not to give Christina a chance to speak just now. After all, she was wounded.
Chandler patted Charles on the shoulder, indicating that it was better for him to say less. He reminded, “How do you want Patrick to communicate with her? Standing face to face in silence?”
He walked fast to avoid the strange feeling of alienation. No man was comfortable when his wife suddenly forgot him.
Perhaps the best way was to pretend that their relationship was the same as before.
“Tell the hospital I’m here.”
After he walked out of the ward, his face became gloomy. He ordered the bodyguards who were following him with an angry tone, “Let thern figure out why this accident happened as soon as possible!”
The bodyguard bent over, nodded, and immediately handled it.
“Patrick, do you think it is a medical accident?”
Chandler could tell that his tone was questioning. Christina suddenly forgot about them, as if someone had done it on purpose
He didn’t answer Chandler, because he wasn’t sure.
That afternoon, the people in the hospital were very nervous and quickly booked a conference room. Patrick
talked with several directors of the hospital and several doctors who participated in the operation.
The directors talked to him carefully, explaining every step of the operation. They expressed that the hospital.had tried its best to save her. As for why she had some sequelae of amnesia, they were confused for a moment.
Chandler was also at the conference table. He carefully observed the expressions of the directors and doctors. They were not lying. He didn’t want to make things difficult for them, so he asked.
“Is her memory loss temporary or permanent?”
This question was crucial.
Raising his eyes, Patrick looked fiercely at the old dean opposite him.
The old dean nervously flipped through the medical records on the table with a thin layer of sweat appearing on his forehead. After careful consideration, he said nervously, “According to similar medical records I have handled, permanent memory loss is more likely, but some people will slowly recover…”
Under the pressure, he didn’t dare to say, “I don’t know.” He could only be more tactful.
“Bullshit, isn’t that the same as not saying it?”
Charles was in a bad mood.
“From the time she entered your hospital, record all the doctors, nurses, and patients she had been in contact with. Save all the tools used in the operating room and the residue of the medicine. I will send someone to check. You must cooperate well.”
They thought that Patrick would be furious on the spot, but he just stood up, said coldly, and then left the hospital.
“What does he mean? Just cooperate?”
After Patrick left, the hospital staff in the conference room huddled nervously.
“It’s all Dean Faang’s fault. You caused us all a false alarm.”
“You’ve never been in contact with Patrick. You don’t know his style. He always tries fair means before resorting to force. Once the evidence is conclusive, we won’t have a chance to refute it. Now that he orders us to cooperate well, we must cooperate well. Don’t try to play tricks…”
Dean Faang was more cautious, “Is there something wrong with our blood transfusion?”
“How could that be? At that moment, the patient was bleeding heavily. Chandler called in advance to ask us to prepare RH blood. Then the blood station sent someone to deliver it…”
“Don’t think so much now. Patrick asked his wife to leave the hospital and go home immediately. We’d better sign the agreement and send her away.”
Chapter 563
It was a special ward on the twelfth floor in the hospital.
There was only one ward open on the entire floor. The ward, more than 200 square meters, was fully equipped with a living room, a kitchen, bedrooms, and other facilities. It was simply misleading to think that it was a luxurious suite of the hotel.
Christina lay flat on the soft and comfortable white bed with an intravenous drip on her right hand. She struggled to sit up again.
“Christina, you need to rest. Don’t move…”
Betty sat by the bed and reached out to hold her down again so that she wouldn’t move the needle off her hand again.
While Christina looked vigilant and lowered her voice. “Auntie, it’s strange here. Let’s go.”
Betty sighed, not knowing what to say.
At the door of the ward, a group of doctors and nurses rushed over. First, they nodded to the family members of the patients. The old director, who was more than fifty years old, walked to the bed and carefully observed Christina and the data on the medical record.
“How is it?”
Charles impatiently urged.
The old director turned around and whispered to several doctors behind him.
After a while, the old director said slowly, “We had a CT scan of her brain before the operation. There was no concussion. The operation was only aimed at suturing the major blood vessels. No other internal organs were injured…”
Charles’s face darkened. “Are you trying to shirk your responsibility? Don’t tell me that. Why the hell does she forget all of us?” He scolded the old director angrily.
Christina turned her head, her bright eyes glinting alertly, and looked suspiciously at Charles and the others.
She then quietly pulled Betty’s clothes by the bed and whispered to her, “Auntie, these people are very strange.”
Strictly speaking, Christina did not forget everyone. She just forgot about Charles and the others.
The hospital directors and doctors were under a lot of pressure, “A situation like this, it should be the psychological problem.”
“… Excessive mental stress may cause temporary memory loss in the brain.”
Charles was unhappy with the causal answer. “What are you talking about? Tell me directly when she will get better.”
It mattered most when Christina would recover from her temporary amnesia.
But the doctors couldn’t answer this question.
“This is definitely medical malpractice!”
“I need the surveillance video of your operation to see what you did!” Charles was furious and lost his temper.
In fact, the old director had a good relationship with the Shepherd family. Usually, Charles would respectfully call the other party uncle. But now it was a little embarrassing.
“Charles, it’s not what you think. It was an accident.” The old director politely tried to reason with him.
Now, Charles didn’t care about whether the other party was his uncle or not. He looked indifferent and didn’t want to talk to these people anymore.
He just said coldly, “It did not matter what I thought, but you’d better figure out how to explain it to the Hopkins family first!”
The old director and the other doctors became nervous hearing that. After a while, they left. It was not good to stay in the ward to disturb the patient. Moreover, they really needed to find out the cause of the amnesia as soon as possible before the Hopkins family sent someone to ask soon.
Christina quietly watched them quarreling as if it was none of her business.
“Christina.”
Charles chased the doctors away and ran back to the bed. He called her torpidly like a deflated ball.
“You really don’t recognize me?” Charles asked in a slow way.
Christina was obviously not interested in him. She glanced at him and said slowly… “I see you quite often in magazines.”
Charles was the big shot of the entertainment news, and there were countless female stars who had been rumored to have an affair with him.
“I haven’t found a girlfriend for almost a year!”
Christina could not tell who Charles was angry with. Ever since Charles met Christina, he had been scolded for being a playboy all day. Subconsciously, he didn’t dare to look for women, almost ready to become a monk.
It, however, had nothing to do with Christina that he found no girlfriend for a year,
Christina turned around and ignored him.
Charles was so angry about that.
“… Christina.” Betty called her with mixed feelings.
Christina immediately looked up at her aunt.
What Christina remembered was that she was just a high school student preparing for the college entrance
exam and living with Betty.
“Christina, what Charles said just now is true.” Betty explained earnestly and then becarne worried again, “….. You’ll remember it slowly. Don’t be nervous.” Betty gently patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
Christina was extremely reluctant and said stiffly, “Does that mean that I am really married, have children, and then the children were lost?”
That was what Charles said just now, and her husband was busy abroad. She was hospitalized, but her husband didn’t come back to see her.
She lost those memories. To her, it was as if she had awoken and inexplicably aged for a few years.
Christina was very unwilling to accept it. “I don’t have any scars on my stomach. I definitely haven’t been pregnant!” She retorted vehemently. How did she become the mother of the child?
