A Crazy Night Novel

“Understood. I know what to do.”

Sebastian left to carry out his task, while Nathaniel returned to the ward to take care of Christina.

The morning after, Christina was woken up by loud sobbing. She opened her eyes to find an ebony head wailing on her chest, tears soaking her hospital gown.

Christina felt her temples throb, and ‘she shoved the heavy head resting on her chest away in disdain.

“You’re too noisy, Gabrielle,” Christina remarked hoarsely, and the wails instantly ceased. “I’m not dead yet. You don’t have to start mourning so soon.”

Gabrielle pounced on her, crying tears of joy. “Christina… You’re finally awake!”

Christina was struggling to breathe due to the smothering hug. She tried and failed several times to shove Gabrielle away. Finally, Victoria had enough and stepped forward to pull the latter away from the hospital bed.

“Christina just woke up, Ms. Cook. She can’t handle all this drama,” Victoria chided. “You’ve been crying for half an hour. Why don’t you drink some water and take a break?”

Victoria was impressed by Gabrielle’s lung capacity, seeing as the latter cried nonstop for half an hour without tiring. Her sobs echoed throughout the entire building and sounded so sorrowful that people would have thought she was wailing at a funeral. D

Gabrielle hiccupped amid her sobs before saying aggrievedly, “I just can’t control my emotions. If something bad happens to you, Christina, I’ll lose my will to live.”

As she said that, she wanted to pounce on Christina again, but a stern gaze from the latter dispelled that notion.

“The fortune teller said I’m tough and destined to live a long life, so how can I die in a fire?”

Christina randomly made up an excuse to comfort Gabrielle as her gaze flitted across the ward.
