Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 21

Christina heard the voice and immediately turned to look.

"Leo.’’ She was indeed in this tiled house just now.

Fortunately, Leo, saved her.

She was very grateful.

Christina walked to the man and spoke in a gentle manner.

She didn't look like the person who had been cold to Patrick.

Dark clouds rumbled in the sky with thunder and lightning roared.

On a rainy night, several people walked along the rugged mountain road and came to a cave house finally.

"A few days ago, our village had been informed of the relocation because of the torrential rain.There is no one living down the mountain.The river has already surged up.The mountain road you are going back to is very dangerous with the torrential flood at any time.You'd better stay here for the night..."

With the help of this warmhearted villager, Leo, they followed him to a simple but spacious cave house.

"Is it safe here?"

Charles looked at the howling storm outside and felt a little uneasy.

"Don't worry.This mountain is built of the hard granite, so the cave here is very strong.’’ After hearing what he said, they were slightly relieved.

It was a bad day, and they encountered a terrible condition.

They would be drowned by a torrential flood and mudflow if they were not alert.

"Light more fire, take off your clothes, and dry them."

Leo went into the kitchen and brought out a large pile of firewood.

Without any hesitation, Charles and the others quickly piled up the firewood and took off their sticky clothes.

When Christina saw these men taking off their clothes together, she immediately turned around awkwardly.

"Don't take off your trousers.’’ Patrick, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

When Charles heard him, he remembered that Christina was there.

"No signal.We can't get through with anyone else"

While they were lighting the fire, they discussed.

"Cory and others should find a place to shelter from the rain..."

Christina was a little surprised when she heard the name, Cory.

Patrick's eyes had been fixed on her, so the surprise on her was clearly seen.

He pursed his lips tightly and didn't say anything.

"You can call me Anna.I have some clean clothes.Come in to change with me."

In a short while, a plainly dressed woman came out of the inner room and smiled kindly at Christina.

Christina nodded at her.

"Thank you."

Christina was 1.68 meters tall.

Anna's dark blue cotton- padded jacket and her long-sleeved trousers were much shorter in her, but now she didn't care about it, so she thanked Anna and walked out.

Anna came out with her and saw the bruises on her fair wrists and ankles.

She was shocked, "How did you get all these bruises? Oh God, they had inflammation” 

As soon as Anna said so, Patrick stepped forward subconsciously.

Christina looked up at him as if she was afraid of him, and instinctively took a step back.

When Patrick saw her like this, he turned his gaze as if he had not been looking at her before.

"We have some iodophor disinfectant at home.Let me help you to apply.."

Anna ran back to her room to get the disinfectant and apply it to Christina.

After that, Christina's hands and feet became blue.

The disinfectant made her a little bit hurt, but she only frowned slightly and tried not to make too much expression.

A small round clock hung in the cave.

It was only around 7 pm, but it was dark and thunderous outside.

They had to endure this rainy night.

There was no furniture in the cave, only a few wooden chairs and a round dining table in the main room.

After a while, Anna treated a pot of sweet potato porridge to them.

"We're not hungry, thank you."

Charles knew that the family had not prepared dinner for them before.

Now that they were sheltering from the rain in their house, they thought they couldn't eat their food for free.

After thinking about it, he looked at Christina.

"Christina, you should eat some.You're pregnant.’ 

As soon as Charles said this, everyone else looked at her.

Anna was serving her a bowl, and Christina was looking at the sweet potato porridge in front of her with a worried expression.

Now that so many people were staring at her, she looked a little embarrassed.

She didn't like sweet potato porridge...

"Pregnant?"

Anna, on the other hand, got excited and looked at Christina with a bright look.

"God.How can you give birth to a baby since you're so skinny? You need to get more nourishment."

With that, Anna ran into the kitchen and muttered, "I have two more eggs.I made them for you..."

Christina didn't know how to react when she saw how enthusiastic Anna was.

She didn't like eggs.

Christina really hated her bad habit of being picky about food.

She had this bad habit in the Dickens Family when she was a child, so it was hard for her to correct her bad habits even if she wanted to.

She was embarrassed and ran into the kitchen.

"Anna, I can have porridge or steamed buns.You don't have to make eggs for me…”

Just as Christina entered the kitchen, Patrick ordered a few people to ask Leo for a flashlight and some tools, and then opened the door and walked out.

"Although the storm is heavy, tomorrow morning will be fine.There's no need to go out now..."

"What's wrong?"

When Anna and Christina came out again, they found a few people had gone out.

Leo sighed.

"He said he would go out to get something to eat."

"How can he get food on this rainy day? Why don't you stop them? It's dangerous outside.If..."

Anna scolded her husband.

Leo looked helpless.
