A Crazy Night Novel

“Why would you want to meet me in a place like this? Have you become a party girl during my absence?” Christina asked while pinching her cheeks.

Bailey gave her waist a tight hug and replied with a smile, “Of course not! This bar belongs to a friend of mine. I just came over to support his business. That’s all! Now, enough talk about me. Do you have any idea how much I’ve missed you? Tell me where you’ve been throughout the past four years!”

Christina proceeded to give her a brief summary of the events that took place. Bailey got so mad at Nathaniel after hearing her story that she wanted to chop him up into pieces.

“Unbelievable! I thought he loved you, but he turned out to be a possessive control freak! As if that wasn’t bad enough, he even had the audacity to use the kids to threaten you into staying with him!” she shouted while slamming her fist on the table.

Christina felt glad to know that she had someone who actually cared about her. “It’s fine. I can handle it. I’ve managed to survive all these years, and he isn’t really giving me a hard time now. Anyway, let’s not ruin the mood by talking about such sad things. Cheers!”

In the mean time, Raymond had called Christina several times using the landline at Scenic Garden Manor, -but she never answered her phone.

“How is it? Is Mrs. Hadley still not picking up?” Sebastian asked anxiously.

The butler put the phone down and shook his head. “Mrs. Hadley would usually pick up if we call her using this landline. I’m assuming she and Mr. Hadley got into a very huge fight this time.”

Sebastian, too, had no idea why things had gotten worse between them after they returned from the amusement park,

The doctor came down from the second floor.

“How is Mr. Hadley doing, doctor?” Sebastian asked anxiously.

“Things are not looking good. The wound on his back has gotten inflamed because it wasn’t treated in time, so he’s at risk of getting an infection. On top of that, he is also burning up with a high fever. If this goes on, he could catch pneumonia. I have suggested Mr. Hadley seek treatment at a hospital, but he refused and wouldn’t even take his medication,” the doctor replied with a stern look on his face.

Mutual cooperation between patient and doctor was necessary for a treatment to be successful, so there wasn’t much the doctor could do in this situation.

“I’ll leave the medication here. Please send Mr. Hadley to a hospital immediately if his condition worsens,” the doctor continued and left the house.
