My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 660

Chapter 660
Christina didn’t know what was wrong with her body. She had hallucinations,
“You should go back.”
“There will be danger ahead.”
*… You, didn’t you hear anything just now?” She looked confused and hesitantly asked the people around her.
Led by Patrick, this small group had 17 people and marched swiftly according to the direction of the map. The target was the second largest island. Among them, only Christina was a woman. At first, Gary and the others had many concerns and worried that Christina would drag them down. But after two days together, everyone respected her more sincerely as their sister-in-law.
To put it bluntly, Christina was more adapted to the living environment of this island than any of them. She could quickly find food, camp in the open air, travel for days, and sweat profusely. No one heard any complaints from her.
They had to admire Christina for her tenacity.
“Sister-in-law, I didn’t hear anything just now,” Crabbie replied respectfully.
This was the third time Christina had asked him the same question.
“Sister-in-law, did you find something?”
Christina was really uncomfortable with their addressing of “sister-in-law.” She turned around and looked around for a while. She looked a little confused. She did hear a lot of voices.
But why could only she hear it?
Was it an auditory hallucination?
!”… Nothing.” Christina didn’t say much to him.
She was not the kind of warm-hearted and enthusiastic person. It took her a long time to befriend others. She looked a little cold.
Crabbie did not ask further. The first thought in his mind was that it must have been a long and painful process for their boss to court Christina.
“Christina, what are you two talking about?” Charles trotted over with a smile on his handsome face.
Mr. Shepherd was born to be easy-going and open-minded. He could get along well with people of all ages.
Crabbie straightforwardly said, “Our sister-in-law sald she heard some noise.”
Charles despised it when he heard Crabble calling Christina “sister-in-law” so naturally. Christina looked cold but had a warm heart. At first glance, people would think she was a flower growing in the high mountain, but in fact, she was stubborn and soft-hearted. She was mean and vengeful. She was just a witch girl.
“… What did you hear?” Charles was curious.
Christina was biologically related to Raphael. Perhaps she could really detect something unusual.
Christina did not want to pay attention to this easy-going Mr. Shepherd. She changed the subject and pointed randomly to the river beside her, “The smell of the river is getting stronger and stronger.”
The water in the river that crossed the islands had been polluted. The fish and shrimps in the river had all died, and the vegetation on the edge of the river had also turned yellow. The water still looked clear and clean, but on closer inspection, it smelled like a chemical stimulant mixed with sulfur. The smell of the river became bitter.
They traveled along the upper reaches of the big river. The closer they got to the source of the water, the stronger the smell in the river became.
“… It looks like there’s really something wrong with the source of the river.”
“Do you think it’s man-made or natural?”
“It would be too fucking immoral if someone poisoned the water.”
Charles and Crabbie chatted as they walked.
They did not notice that Christina suddenly looked pale and her eyes were filled with fear. She suddenly stopped.
The voice in her mind roared in a hurry and angerily, “Stop, you can’t go any further!”
“Stop, stop!”
Christina shouted in panic.
When she shouted, the team members turned to look at her. Patrick and Gary walked to the front. They heard Christina’s panic and immediately walked up to her. They asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t know.”
Christina’s tone was frigid and she looked numb as if she had been stimulated by something and had not come back to her senses for a moment.
“Why did you ask us to stop?” Patrick repeated patiently.
‘1 don’t know.”
Christina didn’t lie. She really didn’t know. She didn’t know what was going on. She was just frightened by the auditory hallucinations in her mind,
Everyone looked at her doubtfully.
She asked uncertainly, “Is it dangerous for us to continue walking forward?”
*According to the map, if we walk another 20 kilometers, we can see the junction of the Barbarian Islands and the second-largest archipelago. And we can reach our destination by crossing the river.”
“Yes, we’ll be there soon. There shouldn’t be any problems.”
“The only consideration is how deep the river is at the junction. I don’t know if ordinary rafts can cross…”
Anyway, everyone thought it was not a big problem. The second-largest archipelago was the area where the Strozzi family lived. It was estimated that the environment there would be more modern, which made them look forward to it.
Even after listening to their analysis, Christina was still a little uneasy.
Patrick ordered, “… Rest here for an hour and we will reach the border before the sun sets.”
They thus rested on the ground, ate dried meat, and chewed leaves, so as to replenish their strength.
Christina had no appetite. She sat under a tree and rested with her eyes closed. Her breathing was a little quick, and the noise in her mind made her restless.
“… What did you hear?” Patrick sat quietly beside her.
He had heard from Crabbie that she had a similar auditory hallucination. Because she and he shared different memories, Christina exhibited such distrust in them.
Just as Patrick asked her in a low voice, Christina fell asleep with closed eyes. Her mind was in a daze and she felt like she was in a strange environment.
In her dream, she was standing on a plain with many green weeds. The air was very humid, and she could vaguely hear the sound of a flowing waterfall in the distance.
Christina looked around in panic. There was no one around in the dream, only she was there, “Who is it?” She plucked up her courage and asked loudly.
“Who’s been talking to me!”
“Hey, who are you?” Her voice trembled nervously.
Suddenly, the dream became hazy, and the verdant plains in front of her were shrouded in a layer of mist.
Everything became unreal and unclear.
In the dream, she panicked even more, and the voice came again, which sounded cold and sharp, “You shouldn’t be here.”
“The forbidden area here.”
“Get out of here. Strangers can’t step on the third island.”
Christina suddenly woke up with confused eyes and cold sweat on her forehead.
Patrick’s deep eyes were filled with worry as he looked at her. When she calmed down, he took a deep breath and slowly asked, “Did you have a nightmare?”
“What nightmare?”
Christina shook her head. There was nothing scary in her dream, “I dreamed of a grassland. There seemed to be a waterfall nearby.” But the atmosphere was so oppressive that she shuddered out of fear.
“… Patrick, do you think we might be lost?” She asked hesitantly.
Patrick frowned and asked her, “How do we get lost?”
“We’re going to the second largest island now, aren’t we?”
“Yes.”
“Do you know anything about the third island?”
“Not yet.”
Patrick’s answer was concise and to the point. His voice was calm and steady, giving off a reassuring feeling.
“Maybe I was thinking too much,” Christina looked at him and her heart gradually calmed down. She muttered, “These days, I have always felt that we are walking in a very dangerous place. A forbidden area.”
It was too unrealistic to go back just according to her own thoughts.
We have enough weapons and equipment. Gary and others have very practical and professional experience in the field practices. If something really goes wrong later, we can return in time.” Patrick comforted her in a low voice.
Christina nodded.
After an hour of rest, they continued walking.
Patrick walked side by side with her. Perhaps it was because she calmed down, she had no auditory hallucinations along the way.
This relieved her a little.
The sun gradually set in the west, and the light golden sunshine in sunset sprinkled on the land. The vegetation around them seemed to be more gentle, and they were no so nervous.
“There seems to be some noise.” Crabbie suddenly stood still and looked in the direction of the setting sun.
Christina was shocked and looked around nervously. She did not hear any hallucinations.
“What, what sound?” She asked quickly.
The group stopped quickly.
Gary spoke first, “…In the distance, it was the sound of a waterfall.”
Waterfall
Christina was shocked when she thought of the dream.
