Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 237

"These...the children’s ashes are in these two porcelain urns?"

Crystal looked at the two black ceramic urns on the cabinet in a daze for a long time.

Finally, she turned to Betty with difficulty and forced a smile.

"Aunt Eisenhower, don't joke about this.I know you don't seem to like the Hopkins family very much, but after all, the children are innocent.You can't curse them like this..."

Betty looked grim and solemn, shaking her head without a word.

Crystal's heart writhed in pain seeing her expression.She anxiously took a step forward and grabbed Betty's wrist.

"How could it be? According to the prenatal examinations, Christina's twins have always been very healthy!!"

"Auntie Eisenhower, you really shouldn't joke with me like this."

She looked at Betty's gloomy face and already guessed the veracity, her voice trembling in sobbing.

"How is it...Where's Patrick? Where's the Hopkins! !"

With grudge laden in her heart, Crystal snarled and squalled, feeling like she was going to explode in a sudden gust of wrath and shock.

How could such healthy babies be lost so abruptly?

 "I told you the Hopkins can't be trusted.Christina has been in trouble for so many days, and with their influence in A City, they should have known about this long ago, but they didn't even send someone for a visit!"

Betty's tone was full of resentment when she mentioned the Hopkins family.

As she spoke, she could not help but feel guilty as well, her voice extremely hoarse.

"Christina had an accident, but she didn't have anyone around with her the past few days, only on her own...I only found out when I received a call from the traffic police yesterday afternoon"

Crystal’s eyes reddened at her words.

"Which ward is she in now? I'll go and see her."

She had been busy with the interviews for a job recently, anticipating that she could settle down with a job before Christina gave birth, so that she would be able to squander her salary righteously on gifts for her godchildren at their sip- and-see party.

But how did everything turn pear-shaped all of a sudden? Betty picked up a delicate and sturdy bag to carefully put away the two urns of ashes, then she took the elevator with Crystal to the 7th floor of the inpatient department.

The two of them walked side by side, their footsteps heavy and their hearts in a mess.

Walking to an intensive care unit, Betty suddenly stopped her and whispered, "Crystal, go in and accompany her.Christina is very unstable now, and the doctor said she had to be transferred to the psychiatry department for examination when she got better after a few days."

With that, Betty hugged tightly the two urns of ashes in her arms in spite of herself.

"Don't mention the children to her.I'm afraid she really can't bear it..."

"I see" Crystal replied in a low voice.

Although Christina had always been careless and jaunty, without the least semblance to a tender lady, yet blood was thicker than water, and she had really looked forward to the birth of her children.

She had said before that even if the Hopkins family did not want the children, she would raise them herself.

Crystal skulked in gingerly.

The ward was so quiet that even the sound of the clock ticking could be heard clearly.

Ever the emotional, she could barely stifle her tears at the sight of a battered Christina when she walked to the bed, her tears trickling down on the floor.

She felt sorry and distressed for what had happened to Christina.

Having known her for so many years, Crystal was clear that Christina had always forborne herself from falling prey to cowardice in the face of no matter what, and she had been very resilient and strong, for she had always tried her best.

"Christina, you have to be strong.Didn't you say you don't like to be worried about...No matter what happens, it will pass.Don't think too much about it now"

Crystal's words became nasal audibly due to her uncontrollable wailing.She had always been timid and prone to crying.

In most cases, Christina was able to hold back her tears, whereas she was incapable of.

At present, she didn't know how to help Christina except to ask her to be strong and face it.She had no way to help.

Christina kept her eyes wide open, for she dared not to sleep.

She was neglecting everyone trying to talk to her, only staring at the ceiling with her vacant eyes all day and all night, her face blank, too, resembling a dead doll.

Crystal sniffled and sat down beside the bed with a chair.
