Chapter 188
Chapter 188
Christina didn't sleep well last night.
She fell asleep in the early morning, tossing and turning in bed, with many weird dreams. When she
woke up, it was almost 11: 00.
The whole apartment was quiet.
She got out of bed in a daze and went into the bathroom to wash up. She remembered that Crystal
yelled before leaving this morning, "I'm going to earn a living". She realized Crystal had gone to the
interview. No wonder it was so quiet.
Ding-dong.
Ding-dong.
When the doorbells rang twice, Christina was startled for a moment. When she came back to her
senses, she immediately perked herself up and then walked to the door. Someone rang the doorbell.
"I think you deliver to the wrong person."
The takeaway deliveryman and she looked at each other. "I didn't order anything."
"I sent it to the order address. The door number is correct."
She looked at the meal box with the Gordon Hotel logo on it. It was the delicious Thai fried rice. Who
ordered such an expensive dish for her?
"Miss, our company stipulates that all the orders must be delivered within 30 minutes, otherwise my
salary will be deducted. Would you please sign for it first?"
The delivery boy was a little anxious.
"Oh." Christina would not put him in a difficult position. Then she pleasantly held her 'lunch'.
She thought that it was Crystal who ordered it.
Christina was so touched that she opened the packages quickly and sat down at the small round table.
In general, there would be shrimp and cuttlefish. Crab sticks smelt good after stir-frying. There were
also pineapple and eggs. However, she found that the fried rice had little seafood, which she could not
eat too much as she was pregnant. The shrimp was very tasty, and the Thailand pineapple was very
authentic and sweet. What surprises her was that there were no eggs, for she did not eat eggs.
"Crystal is perfect for being a nanny-and-housekeeper..."
She was sure it was Crystal who ordered her food, otherwise, how could anybody know so well that
she didn't eat eggs?
She took a few mouthfuls with a spoon and thought about what happened last night.
Last night she called Charles. At first, she wanted to inquire something about Patrick, but he
inexplicably hung up the phone.
After eating half of it, she put down her spoon and got her phone.
She wanted to clearly know what he tried to hide. But just as she picked up her phone, Charles
seemed to be more urgent than her.
"Christina, where did you get the jade pendant?"
On the other end of the phone, he asked aggressively as soon as he spoke out.
"What the hell are you doing?" She had no idea what he was talking about.
Charles lowered his voice and explained, "I mean, the half-moon blood jade in your rosewood box..."
Christina was stunned and did not reply.
Her half-moon blood jade, in the rosewood box.
"How did you know?" Her voice was a little low, with a mix of hesitation and anger. "Charles, are you
polite? My box is locked. I left it in Hopkins Family. How did you..."
How would he know?
Suddenly, her pupils were constricted. Did Patrick find her box?
"Why didn't you take my stuff without asking me? What's wrong with you?" Obviously, she was angry.
She was mad at the intrusion, of course. She never wanted to tell anyone about the wooden box.
Even though you don't want to talk about it, you have to!
Charles called her in an urgency, trying to let her confess, "Christina, your jade is very special. It is very
clear and transparent with bright blood red. It's a very precious jade species. It is half-moon carving, so
there should be a total of two which combined into a circle..."
Charles knew these antiques very well, so when he looked at the jade in the wooden box, he felt
something was wrong.
This was usually the jade that big families used to decided children's marriage. Now, there are still
some old people in the circle who like to give these precious and inherited jade to their descendants for
generations.
Christina was shocked because he was right.
That jade was used for the engagement.
"It's none of your business!" She retorted, attempting to reject his words.
When Charles heard her stubborn tone, he immediately lost his temper and shouted, "Patrick has been
busy with this jade recently!"
She held the phone in her hand with a little surprise and confusion.
She wanted to say something, but suddenly there was a sharp pain in her abdomen.
It was so painful -
She broke out in cold sweat and felt weak all over.
The phone fell to the floor, and then there came a loud bang.
Charles was also stunned and began to shout anxiously, "Hey, what happened to you..."
"Christina!"
Charles was terrified and shouted several times, but there was no response on the other end of the
phone.
"What happened all of a sudden?"
"She was fine last night..."
Halfway through the interview, Crystal received a call from Charles with the news that something had
happened to Christina. She was so scared, therefore, she left directly and rushed home.
"I'm fine," the woman in the hospital bed said in a weak tone.
"How dare you talk like this. Shut up!"
Charles was so angry that he almost fainted in anger. He glared at the trouble maker and complained,
"Christina, your brain must have been bitten by a donkey. How dare you eat a free lunch without
knowing who ordered it!"
He was scared out of his wits just now. If something really happened to this Christina, what would he
do to make up for the Hopkinses?
Fortunately, it was just a case of eating the wrong thing and having an upset stomach.
"How would I know? As soon as I got up, someone brought me the takeout."
Christina muttered with a guilty retort. In fact, she was scared when her stomach was in pain. She
didn't care about it herself, but if there was anything that happened to her twin sons, she would regret it
to death.
"I thought Crystal ordered it for me."
Crystal was expressionless and said. "You think too much."
The fried rice in Gordon Hotel was so expensive, how could she, Crystal, voluntarily undertake it?
"I'll be careful next time."
Christina had to blame herself. She looked up at them, with a heavier voice. "You can't tell Patrick
about this. You can't tell Grandpa about it. No one is allowed to tell!"
At least not now, or she will be scolded. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Charles did not want to be responsible for it, so he grunted unhappily and walked out of the ward.
Seeing her face was gradually returning to normal, Crystal breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with
Charles for her to sleep quietly.
"Christina can be very stubborn sometimes, but she knows the bottom line. It was just an accident this
time."
As she left the ward, Crystal explained to Charles in a low voice. She wanted to help her friend so that
Christina didn't have to be scolded by the people in Hopkins Family.
"She will really be careful next time. Christina is not as wild and spoiled as it was said. In fact, she just
pretends to be strong. She is very soft-hearted."
Crystal was so righteous that she almost swore on Christina's behalf.
"Patrick can't do anything about her. What do you think I can do to her?"
Now, Christina was fine and Charles was relieved. He recovered his usual smile on his face. He took
two cups of hot coffee from his men and handed her one.
He quipped, "You and Christina are intimate."
Crystal took his hot coffee, and when she heard him say that, her expression immediately became
painful, "Never make a bad friend."
She took a sip of her coffee. They were really anxious just now, and presently they were so thirsty. In
fact, rich kids like Charles were quite reasonable and considerate.
"Who gave her the takeout? Do you have any idea?"
"No." Crystal really didn't know.
But as long as Christina was fine, Charles could directly send someone to the hotel to investigate the
matter, which was indeed easy. But now he was bothered by another thing.
Charles looked at her and thought for a while. "You know Christina so well, so had she ever mentioned
her jade to you?"
