Chapter 102
"Get out of here! It's all your fault!"
Christina's left cheek was red and swollen.
She was shocked and looked at the unfamiliar middle-aged woman who had slapped her, feeling complicated.
Her cheeks were burning with pain.
She lowered her head to hide her red eyes...
She was Patrick's mother.
"I...I just wanted to see him."
Christina straightened up and tried to speak ina calm tone.
"She's not allowed to come here! Kick her out."
His mother did not want to listen to Christina at all. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She shouted at the bodyguards with a gloomy face.
"Auntie, I brought her here."
Charles ran over from the stairs, panting and explaining in a hurry.
"Charles?"
Judy was angry to see Charles protecting her so- called daughter-in-law.
"Ask this woman to get out immediately.I don't want to see her."
Her tone was cold and her attitude was tough.
She was usually decent and elegant, but she was agitated because her only son was seriously injured and unconscious.
"Auntie, the car accident has nothing to do with Christina.She just came here to see..."
Charles comforted her with a soft voice.
In her forties, Judy was still charming.
She was a half- French and the top pianist when she was younger.
Besides her good figure and face, she had a graceful temperament.
Patrick looked a little similar to her.
"Charles."
A girl came out of the ward after hearing the noise.
She was wearing a university uniform, and her personality was a little restrained.
She called out to Charles in a low voice.
"Hello, sister-in-law.' Brianna blushed slightly and hid behind Judy, looking at Christina shyly.
"Brianna, she's not your sister-in-law.Don't call her like that!"
Judy looked up and down at Christina with a cold face and sharp eyes.
The corners of her lips curled up in disdain.
"How shameless you're! You bitch divorced Cory and then seduced and married Patrick..."
"Patrick hasn't had many women before, so you successfully coaxed him into marrying you.But don't feel at ease.There are many women who're willing to give birth to him.After Patrick wakes up, I'll ask him to divorce you.You make me disgusted -"
Her words were sharp and humiliating.
This was the first time Charles had heard Judy's harsh words.
"Auntie, it's Cory's fault! Christina is innocent..."
"Charles, why are you helping her? Patrick has never suffered such serious injuries.But he's now unconscious because of her! Who is she? Does she deserve Patrick's suffering?"
Judy became angrier and angrier.
"The dirty divorced woman must get out of here!"
Christina lowered her head and did not refute.
Her eyes were fixed on the man lying on the bed unconsciously with a respirator...
Charles was ina difficult situation.
The bodyguards of the Hopkinses had walked to them, ready to throw Christina out of the building.
Charles turned to look at the woman beside him and whispered, "Christina, you can come here later..."
But instead of leaving, Christina raised her head and looked directly into Judy's eyes.
"How is he now?"
She asked in a persistent tone.
"It's none of your business!"
Judy was not kind to her.
Charles knew that Christina was stubborn, but he worried that Judy would hurt her.
So he reminded her again, "Christina, let's go back to the hotel.Patrick will be fine here..."
"Patrick doesn't need you!"
Judy glared at her and said that coldly.
[Patrick doesn't need you!]
Her face turned as pale as the light of the hospital and her body trembled slightly.
She felt she was humble and even wanted to escape...
"Charles, come here."
The elevator door opened and several senior doctors accompanied a dignified old man out.
When Christina heard the familiar voice, she immediately turned around.
She was surprised to see Old Master Mr.Hopkins.
But...
She wondered if it was because of the dim lights that she felt Old Master Mr.
Hopkins became a stranger to her.
Judy did not dare to say anything since Old Master Mr.
Hopkins was here.
Everyone remained silent.
Charles glanced at Christina with an awkward look, and then at Old Master Mr.Hopkins.
He saw that Old Master Mr.Hopkins's expression was even more worried than when he heard Patrick had a car accident.
He immediately strode towards Old Master Mr.Hopkins.
"Grandpa," he greeted him respectfully.
"Send Christina out of here.' He didn't expect Old Master Mr.Hopkins to say that.
Christina could not hear him clearly because of the distance, but Charles heard him clearly.
He was shocked.He knew that Old Master Mr.Hopkins usually called Christina's nickname instead of full name, and his tone was very cold.
"Grandpa, it was Cory who got drunk and hit Patrick, but we found out that something was strange with Cory's car.And recently, IP&G Group has been under constant pressure.So I don't think the accident is due to personal affairs..." Charles had thought that Old Master Mr.Hopkins was a reasonable person, and he would not blame Christina for everything like others.
"I told you to send Christina out of here right away, did you hear me?"
Old Master Mr.Hopkins's face darkened and he repeated in astern tone.
The loud and hoarse voice echoed in the cold corridor of the hospital.
Christina's body shook slightly and her face turned pale.
She saw the resentment in his eyes when he turned back...
Grandpa hated her.
Did he hate her for getting Patrick involved? It was her ex-husband, Cory, who caused the accident.
It was her fault.
Patrick was seriously injured because he had protected her.
She understood why they hated her...But she just wanted to...
"Grandpa, I just want to know if he's okay..."
She mustered up her courage and said to Old Master Mr.Hopkins.
Old Master Mr.Hopkins had treated her well.
She didn't ask for more, but she just wanted to see him.
"Without you, he would be fine!"
But Old Master Mr.Hopkins's words made her and everyone else shocked.
Clenching his crutch tightly, he was gnashing his teeth and trying to hold back his complicated emotions.
Old Master Mr.Hopkins's resentment made Christina stunned.
She was suddenly at a loss.
She felt like she was abandoned by a trusted family in a strange place, and she was in a panic.
Without hesitation, the two bodyguards walked to her and forced her to leave.
Christina had to go, but she looked back at the ward with reluctant eyes, her vision blurry because of the tears.
But she stared in that direction...
When she walked to the elevator and walked past them, Charles's expression changed dramatically and he looked at her with a surprised look.
She did not know what Old Master Mr.Hopkins had said to Charles...
Then, the door of the elevator closed.
"I want you to investigate if the car accident six years ago had something to do with Christina..."
Old Master Mr.Hopkins stared at the closed elevator door and squeezed the words from his gritted teeth.
