Chapter 583 He Is All Right
Christina could not comment on Bailey’s statement, as she did not know the whole story.
Feeling sorry for Bailey, she hugged her and gently comforted her, “Bailey, let’s go to the hospital to
take care of your wounds first. We’ll talk about this later, okay?”
Bailey buried her face in Christina’s arms as she sobbed.
Sebastian glanced at the two women through the rearview mirror before averting his gaze. He avoided
eavesdropping on their conversation and looking at them. He kept his eyes on the road and focused on
driving to the nearest hospital.
He chose a hospital that the Hadley family invested in and purposely parked the car in the underground
parking. Several doctors and nurses, who had received an order from the higher management, had
been waiting for them. They rushed to the car and hurried to help Bailey onto a stretcher before using
the elevator to the consultation room.
The entire floor had been cleared in advance.
Christina sat on a bench in the hallway, anxiously awaiting the results of Bailey’s checkup. Nathaniel’s
bloodied blazer was draped over her shoulders. Occasionally, she would look up at the closed doors of
the consultation room.
She had sent several messages to Nathaniel but did not receive any immediate replies.
She was deeply concerned about Nathaniel’s and Bailey’s situations.
“Mrs. Hadley, it’ll be a while before Ms. Cook’s checkup is complete. You must’ve been frightened. Why
don’t I have you registered so you can get a full-body checkup as well?” Sebastian suggested.
Christina shook her head. “I’m fine. The blood on me isn’t mine. Bailey’s emotions are unstable. I’m
worried about leaving her alone. It’s better if I wait for her to come out. Mr. Taggart, I can’t reach
Nathaniel. How are things at his side?”
Sebastian was also clueless. After all, Nathaniel would usually reply to Christina’s messages first
before he replied to others.
“Mrs. Hadley, please don’t worry. There is no problem that Mr. Hadley cannot solve. No one would dare
to assume airs in front of him either.” Sebastian chose his words carefully to reassure Christina.
Christina was as pale as paper but still forced a grin on her lips. Suddenly remembering the woman
she had smashed with a wine bottle, she asked, “Mr. Taggart, do you happen to know who Zeila
Langford is?”
Sebastian felt his head ache when he heard the familiar name. However, he could not lie to Christina
about Zeila as he feared she would misjudge the situation and stir up even bigger trouble.
“Ms. Langford is the only daughter of the richest man in Gerton. She and Julian are engaged. The
Langford family and the Forrester family are family friends. Half a year ago, they held an engagement
party for Zeila and Julian, but their wedding date is yet to be confirmed. The Forrester family prefers to
lay low, so the media in the country doesn’t know about the couple’s engagement.”
I didn’t know that Julian was engaged! But if that’s the case, why is he entangled with Bailey?
As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Christina would not push all the responsibility onto Julian
without first learning about everything from Bailey.
She tightened her fists. But if I find out that Julian was the one who made the first move, I definitely
won’t let him off the hook!
“It must be hard to deal with the Langford family, huh?” Christina asked. “I think I might’ve caused a lot
of trouble for Nathaniel”
Christina was sure she had caused a severe injury on Zella’s back from the amount of blood the latter
lost.
The Langford family only had one precious daughter. They would not let things slide even if it cost their
pride and dignity.
However, Christina did not regret doing it for Bailey.
Sebastian replied. “The Langford and Hadley families are partners. Both families are equal in terms of
power too. However, the Langford family still has to be respectful in front of Mr. Hadley. Besides, you’re
not the one entirely at fault, Mrs. Hadley. Even if the Langford family has any dissatisfactions, they will
have to consider your identity before doing anything.”
Although Sebastian’s words were pleasant to the cars, they failed to comfort Christina.
Feeling tired, she leaned back into the chair and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Just then, the doors to the outpatient clinic opened, and a nurse pushed Bailey out in a wheelchair.
Christina immediately approached Bailey. Anxiously, she asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is she?”
The doctor answered earnestly, “All the wounds on the patient are superficial, so she’s all right. She’ll
recover after having some rest at home. However, I suggest you register her to see a psychiatrist and This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
have them run some tests. Her emotions are all over the place. She needs professional counseling.”
Christina nodded. “Thank you, Doctor. I’ll make sure to take her to see a psychiatrist.”
The doctor and the nurse turned to leave after that.
Bailey stared blankly ahead, ignoring Christina no matter how many times she called out to her.
Christina’s eyes reddened. “Bailey, I’ll take you home.”
A switch seemed to have flipped inside Bailey when she heard that. She wanted to get up from the
wheelchair, but Christina beat her to it and pushed her back down.
Bailey struggled desperately. Unable to hold her down any longer, Christina switched to hugging her
instead.
“Bailey, look at me. I’m Christina, not Zeila. It’s over. No one is going to hurt you.”
Bailey smacked her head hard as she cried, “I don’t want to go home! I don’t want to go home! I don’t
want to go home!”
Sebastian quickly pulled the duo apart, afraid that Bailey would hurt Christina. He stepped in and held
Bailey down. “Mrs. Hadley, Ms. Cook’s emotions seem to be quite unstable. How about we check her
into. the hospital for observation? This hospital has a talented psychiatrist. If you agree, I’ll bring her to
the ward and have the doctor inject her with a sedative.”
Christina held back her tears as she nodded. “All right.”
She looked at Bailey and gently coaxed. “Bailey, we’re not going home. I’ll stay at the hospital with you
while you rest. After that, you can come back to Scenic Garden Manor with me. You can stay as long
as you want, okay?”
Bailey stared at Christina blankly, tears streaming down her face as she nodded.
Sebastian had someone arrange a VIP ward for Bailey. She fell asleep after the doctor sedated her.
Christina continued her attempts to call Nathaniel but still could not get through.
Sebastian returned with supper after completing the hospitalization procedure. “Mrs. Hadley, you
should cat something.”
However, Christina did not have an appetite. “Is there any news from Nathaniel?”
Sebastian replied. “Mr. Hadley’s bodyguard just contacted me. He said Mr. Hadley’s phone battery is
dead. so he isn’t able to reply to your messages. Mr. Hadley and the respective heads of the Langford
and Cook families are currently discussing the issue with you and Ms. Cook. He can only come to pick
you up from the hospital later. Mr. Hadley wanted me to tell you that he’s all right and that you shouldn’t
worry.”
Christina finally heaved a sigh of relief as her tense nerves gradually relaxed. She suddenly felt hungry
and tired.
“I’m glad that he’s all right.” Christina sighed again before she took the risotto from Sebastian and
started eating.
As Sebastian was around, Christina did not have to do anything else.
After some time, Christina got bored from staying in the hospital room, so she went for a stroll to stretch
her slightly stiffened muscles. Not far from where she was, she heard two nurses on duty gossip as
though. no one was around.
“What is going on with the world today? Their best friend was taught a lesson because she was
someone’s mistress, yet they became her accomplice without first knowing the truth.”
