A Crazy Night Novel

Nathaniel could just deal with Anya without seeking Christina’s opinion, but her opinion was something he valued.

Nevertheless, Christina’s answer delighted him.

“I’ll give you results you’ll be contented with,” Nathaniel answered, his lips curling as a vicious look flashed past his eyes.

For the next two days, Christina stayed in the hospital to recover. The relocation of Gibson Corporation was left to Nathaniel, and she enjoyed the momentary freedom from her usual tasks.

Nathaniel was traveling back and forth between the hospital and Gibson Corporation. Sometimes, he even had to work overtime to deal with Gibson Corporation’s matters. He was exhausted, but he was gladly taking everything on.

“Christina, it’s sudden, but I need to meet a client. If I don’t come back in time, the nurse will accompany you for the test instead. Go back to the ward once you’re done with it; don’t wander elsewhere. I’ll come and pick you up to take you to the airport tonight,” Nathaniel said to Christina.

Christina chuckled. “Don’t worry and just focus on work. I’m not a kid. Stay safe on your way there.”

Nathaniel then made a cup of hot milk and washed some fruits for her before leaving with a lighter heart.

After that, Christina took a nap. When the afternoon came, the nurse brought her to another room for her test.

“Wait,” Christina suddenly said. She turned around to look at the corridor behind her, but she did not see anyone suspicious. There were only medical staff and patients with their families around.

“Ms. Steele, is something the matter?” the nurse curiously asked her. “Did you leave something behind?”

Christina looked away and took out her phone from her pocket. As she gave the nurse an apologetic smile, she said, “Sorry, I thought I dropped my phone, but it was actually in my pocket all along. I’m fine now. Let’s go back.”

The nurse then wheeled Christina into the elevator.

With a neutral look on her face, Christina watched the elevator doors close. Yet, the fear that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand lingered.
