President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 681

Max knew about the past between Kristina and his parents through what happened before. Just because of that, he reckoned Kristina and his mother ought to shun each other.

However, at this time, the two were sitting together as if they were close friends, which baffled him.

Christine compressed her lips but didn’t reply.

Kristina felt she ought to answer Max’s question. Thus, she explained, “I went to see Mrs. Nixon today. But I overheard something had happened to Mr. Nixon, so I came over here with Mrs. Nixon.”

She intentionally referred to Chad as Mr. Nixon in front of Max.

It was because, for all she knew, Max only knew she had a history with Christine and Chad, but he had no idea what their relationship was exactly.

Kristina had no intention to perturb the Nixon family. Therefore, she never considered telling Max the real connection between them.

Max nodded knowingly as he heard Kristina’s explanation.

In this circumstance, even he could do nothing to help.

All he could do was sit there and wait with them.

Right at this moment, Max’s phone vibrated.

He took out his phone, looked at the caller ID on the screen, then swiftly glanced at Christine.

Seeing she didn’t seem to mind this, he got up and went to the other end of the corridor to take the call.

This call was made by Laura.

At the shooting site, she heard about a car crash that occurred today on the highway.

She rarely paid attention to this kind of accident. Thus, when she heard this, she just thought they were making some small talk.

But a staff member happened to go out for purchasing today, who passed by that car crash site and took a photo of it.

Driven by curiosity, Laura leaned over to have a look, but was instantly petrified on the spot.

The car in the photo had been crushed out of shape, yet she recognized that car model and the barely discernible license plate number.

The Nixon family owned a lot of cars. She couldn’t possibly remember all their license plate numbers. But she remembered this one distinctly, for Max once drove this car to pick up her before they started dating.

At that time, she thought it was Max’s car, so she memorized that number.

Later, she found out that the owner of that car was actually Max’s father. That day, Max merely borrowed it for convenience.

When Laura saw that photo, she immediately realized the gravity of this matter.

She called that staff member over, telling her that she wanted to buy that photo. Also, she offered her a generous sum of money to keep this a secret.

That staff member had no idea why Laura wanted this photo. Nevertheless, she didn’t want to offend Laura. Plus, she could make a profit out of this, so she agreed on this deal without hesitation.

After that, Laura called Max.

She told him what she had heard and done in one breath.

After hearing her story with composure, Max replied, “Yes, the one in that car was my father.”

“Heavens!” Laura cried out in shock. The wishful thinking that Max’s father was not in that car today was instantly dashed.

She quickly asked, “Then how is he? Is his condition critical?”

“I don’t know yet. He’s still in surgery.” Max paused, heaved a sigh, and continued, “But the driver died on the site. My mother has sent people to console the driver’s family and deal with the funeral affairs. As for how my father will turn out, perhaps we won’t know until the surgery is over.”

Hearing Max’s words, Laura became aware that things might be worse than she had imagined.

She pursed her lips and fell silent. A while later, she remarked, “Don’t worry. They say good things come to good people. Your father has done so many good deeds over the years. God will bless him.”
