‘‘Missing?’’
After leaving the Dickens Family, she did not return to the hotel and was nowhere to be found.
"What the hell is Christina doing? She's not picking up her cell phone.Is she doing this on purpose?"
Charles, who was also looking for her, complained.
Patrick looked at the sun slowly setting in the west.
Emotions were restrained on his cold face and he was a little agitated.
"Patrick"
Chandler hurriedly parked in front of the hotel and said to him, sticking his head out of the window, "We found her.She's in the cemetery..."
‘‘Cemetery?’’
As soon as Patrick and others arrived at the cemetery, they recognized the woman squatting in front of the stone tablet in the west cemetery area.
It was Christina.
Patrick's face was complicated as he stumped towards her.
"Christina! Can you stop?!"
He stood by her side and said coldly to her with anger, "Are you deliberately making others worried and trying to satisfy your vanity by making everyone frantically look for you? Christina, don't play the game of hide-and-seek anymore.If something happens to the child, you can't afford it."
"I know! I know! I'm just a tool for you to have children!"
She suddenly raised her head and shouted excitedly with a resentful look.
Patrick looked into her red eyes, frowning.
He glanced at the tombstone in front of her.
The name Mary was engraved on it, which was her mother's grave.
As the sun began to set in the west, the day darkened.
They looked at each other in silence.
In this gloomy cemetery, it seemed a little strange...
For a long time, Patrick said coldly, "Go back"
His voice sounded much calmer than before.
Without responding to him, Christina still squatted in front of the tombstone and refused to leave.
Patrick lowered his eyes and looked at her thin body.
He was a little annoyed and yelled, "Christina, what the hell is wrong with you? Don't be so childish.I have no patience with women!"
"Come back with me!" he repeated.
"Leave me alone."
With her head down, she stared at the black-and-white picture of her mother on the tombstone, trying to fight back tears in her eyes.
Patrick was furious and said, "Your mother has been dead for six years.Don't be so dramatic.I don't have that much time for you.Come back with me now!"
Patrick, who really didn't have much patience with women, bent down and pulled her up.
Christina, however, with red eyes, held her mother's tombstone tightly and refused to let it go for no reason.
"No! No!"
Seeing her like this, Patrick scolded in anger, "Christina, you are the spoiled daughter of one of the richest families in C City, and your mother is the daughter of the Eisenhowers, a powerful military, and political family.Even if your mother died of illness, Donald married another woman, you still lead a happier life than many people.Stop being sad.You have no reason to do this.Get up!"
"Patrick, you don't know anything, anything!"
Christina got so emotional after hearing his words and she shouted at him excitedly, Her eyes were red as she recalled the Dickens Family, clenching her hands.
The pain that had piled up in her heart made her heartbroken.
Christina raged, tears glistening in the corner of his eyes, "My mother committed suicide!"
The thought of her dead mother made her shed tears.
"Connie and Carrie were poor students in the mountains.My mother supported them by giving them money so that they could go to college in the city.In the end, Connie, that b*tch, seduced that bastard Donald and got pregnant..."
As Christina choked, she raised her head and looked straight at Patrick, shouting at him.
"Did you know that Connie was only three years older than me? Donald brought her home when she was only 20.He said he wanted a son, and he wanted to divorce my mother! That motherf*cker doesn't deserve to be a father."
"Why! Why should he? He was just a poor boy back then.He was appreciated and nurtured by my grandfather.That is why he has gotten the wealth and power he possesses today.I hate him, I hate him.I really want him dead."
And then...
"That night, I had a fight with Connie.My mother came forward to help me out of fear.She accidentally pushed Connie and she fell down and had a miscarriage as a result.My father sent my mother to prison because of that.He sent my mother, his wife to prison.Can you believe that?"
"In the end, she died!"
"My mother died.She killed herself in prison!"
Christina was unable to control her tears.
Ever since she left the Dickens Family, she had been telling herself to be patient and strong.
She moved to A City with her aunt, Betty, and lived a frugal life.
Afraid that her aunt would worry about her, she kept everything to herself.
She endured all these years of suffering in the Hampton Family and the Dickens Family, but today she didn't want to bear it anymore.
She hugged the cold tombstone, tears rolling down the tombstone.
Patrick fixed his eyes on her, a trace of bewilderment flashing through his cold and steady face.
She cried, loudly.
About the Dickens Family, about her mother's suicide, she had always been afraid to recall as she even felt that it was herself who killed her mother.
Donald didn't pursue Connie's miscarriage because her mother committed suicide in prison, but he still insisted on marrying Connie.
Christina hated her heartless father, who insisted on marrying Connie so soon after her mother's death.She completely hated the Dickens Family.
After transferring to a junior high school, she left with her aunt.But why?
"Why did Cory do the same to me? He cheated on me.He was with Carrie.Why Connie's sister? They were like ghosts, haunting me, making me suffer..."
Christina sobbed, and her face was wet with tears.
Tears slid down her cheeks as she looked helplessly at the sky with blurry eyes.
"Why…”
"Why did they do this to me…’’ She turned to look at Patrick in front of her, outraged.
