A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 46 Why Are You Not Running Anymore

A single glance at the cheap phone was enough for Emilia to know that it belonged to Christina.

Walking over, she snagged the phone, planning to toss it into the trash can. Out of curiosity, she took a look at the screen. Surprisingly, she saw a message from Nathaniel, who asked whether Christina had arrived at the restaurant.

Didn’t Dad say that Christina and Nathaniel’s marriage is fake? Why would they have dinner together? Ah, she must have lied to Dad because she wasn’t willing to help the Steele family out!

She keyed in Christina’s birthday and unlocked the phone. When she was done replying to the message, she threw it away.

Meanwhile, Christina went to the hospital to visit her mother after leaving the Steele residence.

Recently, her mother suffered a relapse and had been hospitalized for a few days. It was not serious, but Christina still urged her to have a full-body checkup.

They both inquired after each other’s health, and Christina told her mother about the interesting things at work lately.

Subsequently, she went to the counter and paid the hospitalization fees. There was little money left on her bank card, and she would only receive her salary next month.

She had just returned to the hospital room and sat for a while when visitation hours ended. A nurse came and requested that she leave.

When she left the hospital, she abruptly remembered Nathaniel asking her out for dinner. It was only when she planned to return a call to him did she realize that her phone was gone.

She had no idea where she had lost it. Worried about making Nathaniel wait, she hailed a taxi and rushed to the restaurant,

Upon arrival, she gave the server Nathaniel’s name. The server led her to the private room before leaving.

The decoration in the private room was incredibly romantic. All the candles were arranged into heart shapes, and the tablecloth was red. Even the furnishings were very much unique.

It’s already eight-thirty. Could Nathaniel be late because he’s busy with work?

Christina waited for him on the couch. A wave of drowsiness suddenly assailed her after she had bustled around for the entire day, and she dozed off.

By the time the server woke her up, it was already ten o’clock, and the restaurant was closing for the day.
