Chapter 72
Christina stood still, watching him as he walked out of the bedroom door with his phone clutched in his
hand.
"Patrick, did anything happen?"
Christina said to the man in front of her. She did not know if it was her illusion. She felt his footsteps a Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
little hasty and heavy.
"That message just now..." As she guessed, she followed him downstairs.
"A message from the United States..."
Christina had just arrived at the Main Residence of Hopkins Family when she heard from afar that Mr.
Hopkins was in a hurry to ask, "There is really a new situation. He has woken up. Is there a chance to
recover?"
"Young Master has rushed to the international airport." The butler was also very excited.
She couldn't understand what they were talking about, so she walked up to him worriedly. "Grandpa,
Patrick..."
The old man looked up at her and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Didn't he mention it to you?"
Christina smiled awkwardly and shook her head.
Thinking about it, she really worried for nothing. She had no right to interfere with Patrick's personal
affairs.
"There are some urgent matters in the United States. Patrick needs to rush over immediately. He may
be staying there for a long time." The butler smiled kindly and explained briefly to her.
"Oh."
Christina lowered her head. Her tone was somewhat sad.
She did not continue to ask about it. She pretended not to care and sat with the old man for a while.
When she returned to her bedroom, she immediately grabbed her cell phone and opened WhatsApp.
Invincible Tina: "Charles! Come out. Come out!"
Brother Charlie: "Why?"
Originally, Charles didn't want to talk to her since he was at the company meeting, but Christina
seemed a little agitated today.
Christina entered a string of words in a flurry, but she felt it rather awkward when she was asked by
Charles so calmly.
After thinking for a while, she calmly replied as she typed a line of words, "Patrick received a text
message from Seattle hospital today, saying that someone woke up, and then he acted abnormally and
rushed out..."
Brother Charlie: "Really? Woke up?"
Even Charles was shocked. He spoke to his assistant, stood up, and walked out of the conference
room.
After thinking about it, he replied to Christina, "Patrick is going to Beauty Island."
Invincible Tina: "What? Beauty Island?"
Charles looked at the emojis of anger she sent, raised his eyebrows, and teased, "Christina, do you
think Patrick went to the US to find beautiful girls? Are you jealous?"
Brother Charlie: "Don't worry. Patrick has suffered enough from you alone. Beauty Island is a rich area
in Seattle, where a friend of his lives."
Invincible Tina: "Who?"
Charles did not answer her and he looked thoughtful.
Christina knew that Charles was also a busy man, and did not dare to disturb him. She thought of
quietly withdrawing from WhatsApp as she felt a little silly to inquire about Patrick's personal affairs.
Brother Charlie: "When there's a chance, perhaps Patrick will introduce the person to you."
At last, Charles sent the message and Christina looked at it in a daze for a while.
She browsed her WhatsApp content and read some inspirational articles.
She found that she hadn't updated her Moments for a long time, so she sighed and wrote a paragraph.
"Being pregnant with no appetite and brain's swelling. It is as if I'm getting increasingly
stupider."Christina then added a meme of a drooping orange cat at the end.
To Christina's surprise, someone instantly commented on the boring exclamation in her Moments.
"Tina, don't be too tired. Take more rest as much as possible." It's a very polite saying.
Christina only glanced at the word "Tina", which was a little nauseating...
"Who is this?"
She checked the other party's message. The nickname was Sleeping Beauty.
This was a new WhatsApp account. The other party had not updated any things in Moments. "Sleeping
Beauty? Why does a man use this nickname? Is he really so beautiful..."
Christina didn't take it to heart and withdrew the WhatsApp directly.
Cory and Carrie were officially getting married next week. They and family relatives were supposed to
have a meal this afternoon to talk about the details of the wedding. Patrick suddenly went to the United
States, so Christina naturally did not go.
In order to have a healthy big fat baby, Christina had a regular routine. She stayed at home for a week
and she didn't go anywhere, but occasionally, she subconsciously looked at her cell phone.
After Patrick went to the US, he didn't call her.
"What do you miss him for?"
Getting used to getting up early, Christina picked up her phone to check as soon as she got up, and her
expression was a little unhappy.
"Ma'am, why have you been so distracted all week? Are you feeling unwell?"
Early in the morning, Christina had breakfast with the old man. When the butler served them, he asked
with concern.
Before Christina could answer, Mr. Hopkins raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "Patrick will
not return until the end of the month..."
"Ma'am, it turns out that you miss Young Master. He has something important to do..." The butler
understood a little and immediately explained to her.
Christina was embarrassed.
Mr. Hopkins teased her as well and said leisurely, "Don't stay at home all day long. Depression does no
good to my great-grandson's IQ. Find yourself some things to do..."
Thirty minutes later, Christina sat in the car expressionlessly. The car was driving forward steadily,
heading for the church on the east side of the city.
She thought that the old man had just asked her to play chess with him when he said that she shall
have something to do. Why didn't she expect that he wanted her to attend the wedding?
"Grandpa, I don't think I'm a good fit..."
"What, are you feeling guilty?"
Mr. Hopkins did not let her come alone. He sat with her in the car. "Christina, remember that you are
the granddaughter-in-law of our Hopkins Family. It makes sense that you attend the wedding of the
Hampton Family. Hiding or escaping from it will only end up in making trouble."
"Not because of this. I don't want to..." I didn't want to see those people.
Seeing that she hesitated to speak, the old man immediately frowned and looked at her. "You must
keep a suitable distance from other men, you know. Don't do anything to make Patrick
misunderstand..."
In fact, today, the old man proposed to attend the wedding with Christina with another purpose, which
was to clear the relationship between her and Cory.
Christina was stunned for a moment. It sounded like a joke, but when it was said by the old man in his
deep and aged voice, it was more like a warning.
She turned to the window and answered, "I know."
But deep down in her heart, she was very dissatisfied. "Patrick may have a beautiful woman in his
arms in the United States. It's really unfair..." He didn't even send her a text!
The wedding ceremony became more solemn with the presence of Mr. Hopkins.
The people present all went to greet Mr. Hopkins one after another. Christina was always by the old
man's side. Indeed, no one dared to look at her even a little strangely, and no one dared to gossip.
Laurie was clearly unhappy when Laurie saw Christina was here, but she also smiled.
Everything was going smoothly, just waiting for the main character to enter...
"Why did the groom take so long..."
