Christina and the others left immediately after finishing the discharge procedures.
As soon as they got out of the elevator, they heard a loud noise coming from the hospital lobby.
A large group of reporters was blocking the entrance of the hospital.
The cameras and flashlights were all on a woman.
The security guards of the hospital were trying to keep order, but the reporters were in a hurry to interview her and ignored the guards.
For a moment, the lobby was congested.
"Miss Jones, someone caught you in a photo that night.Your clothes were in a mess.What exactly happened? Did Todd and the others do something to you..."
The urgent questioning kept going.
The explosion at the abandoned factory in the north of the city last night was too late for the PR to deal with and had already been widely reported by the media.
Todd and the others were arrested, and the kidnap was uncovered.
Moreover, the scene of Cecilia getting into the ambulance in an awkward state last night was taken.
After all, Cecilia was a public figure and a female star, so her disheveled image was easy to draw people's imagination, and some irresponsible media made some exaggerated guesses.
"I wasn't raped!"
Cecilia retorted excitedly in a shrill voice.
The world was so cruel that netizens nowadays just gossip without sympathizing with people's misfortune.
Many people poked their heads and looked curiously at the door, including Christina.
She looked at Cecilia, who looked pale and anxious, helplessly shouting at a group of reporters.
Christina glanced sideways at the man next to her.
Patrick's face was cold.
"The two brothers from the Preston Family kidnapped you and blew up the abandoned chemical plant to retaliate against IP&G Group, and Miss Jones, were you kidnapped because of your relationship with Mr.Hopkins…”
"Did Mr.Hopkins, or people from IP&G Group send someone to visit you...Compared to a female star who was suspected of being violated, the media preferred to spread the news about the big corporation, especially related to the Hopkins Family and Patrick...
"Patrick!"
A reporter seemed to have discovered something and suddenly shouted excitedly.
When the others heard the name, they all looked in the direction in surprise.
Even Cecilia and her manager were shocked.
In an instant, the noisy hospital lobby fell silent.
"Did Patrick come to pick up Cecilia from the hospital himself?"
A reporter asked his colleagues in a low voice.
"I don't know..."
Compared to the previous clamor, the group of reporters now appeared cautious.
Christina felt a little uncomfortable when she saw so many eyes looking this way.
For some unknown reason, the man next to her stepped forward and covered half of her face.
"Take her to leave first." Cecilia said in a low voice to Charles.
Christina was not surprised to hear him say that, thinking that Patrick might see his Miss Jones too pitiful and helpless so he decided to help her.
Charles did not leave immediately but looked at Cecilia's side.
Charles was the boss of the company, and Cecilia was his employee.
This time, a car had been arranged to pick Cecilia up, but he didn't expect this woman was discharged early.
"Cecilia will be picked up in ten minutes.Patrick, you don't have to..."
Charles's voice was no longer joking, but a little more disgusted.
For stars, they must attract the attention of the public from now and then, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Only the frequent appearance in front of the camera could make people remember them in order to maintain their status.
"Take her out of here!"
Patrick's voice was clearly a little more imposing.
Christina reached out to tug at the corner of Charles's shirt, implying to him with her eyes that they should leave quickly.
"Christina, are you so fond of giving up your man to another woman? Can you be tough, or at least fight for yourself!"
How dare Charles say no? In the end, he had to follow Patrick's order and take Christina to the back door of the hospital.
Christina's face was numb as she silently listened to Charles scold her.
‘’Fight for myself?’’
If it was for something else, she would never hesitate to go forward, doing her best to fight for, but...It was Patrick, forget it.
"Is Patrick looking for Cecilia?"
Christina turned her head and asked curiously.
Because just now, she saw Patrick walk in another direction.
"Patrick didn't come to pick her up from the hospital."
"It looks like Cecilia was really given up by Patrick...Maybe it was because someone else touched Cecilia the night she was kidnapped, and she lost her virginity..."
