A Crazy Night Novel

Upon dropping off Lucas and Camila at the kindergarten, Christina got a call from Azure.

“Christina, I’ve discussed with your father that we’ll return to Hallsbay next weekend. Are you… good with that?” Azure asked warily, worried Christina would turn her down.

Christina had been busy with the new office’s renovation for the past few days, so she didn’t pay much heed to the arrangement made by the Gibson family. “Sure, no problem. I don’t have much to pack anyway,” she replied casually.

“You don’t have to worry about packing your clothes. I can buy new ones for you once we arrive in Hallsbay,” Azure assured her with a chuckle.

Nothing is a problem as long as Christina is willing to come with us to meet with the Gibson family.

The ardent love from her grandmother’s words filled Christina. “Yeah, that’s good. Oh, right. I need a favor.”

“What is it?” Azure questioned. I’ll fulfill all of them even if she needs ten favors.

Christina sucked in a deep breath and answered, “I want my mom to come with me. She’s the one who raised me all these years. I can’t just leave her here.”

“Um… Of course, that’s not a problem. After all, we wouldn’t have found you if she didn’t adopt you then,‘ Azure agreed.

She would regard Christina as heartless if the latter could ditch the person who’d raised her for over twenty years.

Even though she didn’t grow up by my side, I thank my lucky stars for her being raised upright and kind. Joy filled Christina, for she was worried Azure would turn her down. “Thank you, Grandma.”

After she hung up the phone, she dropped by the hospital to relay the good news to her mother. Sharon was overjoyed yet sad that Christina had found her biological family. “Christina, I think it’s best that I don’t go to Hallsbay with you.”

“Why? I don’t want to be separated from you, Mom.” Who’s going to take care of her once I leave?

A sad expression crossed Sharon’s face. “The doctor said my condition is much better than before, and I would be able to leave the hospital soon. I can rent a house and live the rest of my life leisurely.”

Christina clung to her arm with a smile. “Can you bear to part with me or even Lucas and Camila?” Sharon fell silent at her question.
