A Crazy Night Novel

Chapter 551 Come Prepared

Nathaniel pulled her into his arms comfortingly, “Nothing will happen to me. The police. summoned me to the precinct to talk about Madison, that’s all. By this point, her case is difficult to make sense of. The cops are lacking in clues and evidence. Somebody has written an article about her death and posted it online, so the cops are under a lot of pressure. They would not give up any leads they have easily.”

Christina only knew that Madison was incurably insane and that her family had sent her to a psychiatric institution for treatment. She was unaware that Nathaniel had secretly tortured Madison.

Nathaniel was cautious not to leave any trace behind. The torment Madison endured in the psychiatric hospital was standard procedure for treatment for all patients; the severity of the treatment depended on the state of her mental health.

Even if somebody were to leak the secret, it would not be traced back to Nathaniel.

As a result, it was stupid of Manuel to use Madison’s condition as leverage.

Christina was glum. “Everybody on the internet is suspecting you. As Madison had been your assistant for years, and she and I had an altercation, you look like the biggest suspect to an outsider, but you have gotten involved for me. You shouldn’t have to bear the condemnation and the blame on my behalf.”

Nathaniel stroked her back and smiled. “I am your husband. Of course, I will protect you. I don’t care what other people think as long as you trust me.”

Christina choked back her tears. “I’m sorry, Nathaniel.”

Ever since she got pregnant, Christina had been emotionally unstable and easily assumed the Worst.

Though Nathaniel was fending off a headache dealing with that, he felt sorry for her. “It isn’t your fault. You don’t have to apologize.” He sighed. “Didn’t you promise me not to look at the gossip online? You lied to me.”

Christina did keep her word, but the rumors were so contagious that everybody at the hospital was talking about it, which was how she came to hear of it.

“I didn’t lie.” Christina pouted. “I heard it from someone.”

“I have found the person fanning the flames. In three days, this fiasco will be over. Just wait and see.” Nathaniel did not tell Christina that the Taggart family had abducted Sebastian.

Christina did not doubt Nathaniel for a moment. Upon obtaining his guarantee, she felt much more at ease.
