Let Me Stay The Night

The crescent moon hung in the sky as Christina twitched her brows. She opened her eyes, feeling a throbbing pain in her head.

The door to the ward was pushed open, and two figures walked in.

Sebastian whispered. “Mr. Hadley, I’ve discovered that despite the other party’s claim of drunk driving, it is evident that the two collisions were intentional. It seems that the person had a deliberate motive to…”

He hesitated to utter the word “kill”

“I suspect that the side collision we experienced last time was not an accident either…” Sebastian’s voice grew softer.

Being involved in two consecutive car accidents was too much of a coincidence. Who on earth wants us dead

“Keep this a secret for now, Don’t tell Mrs. Hadley about it. I don’t want her to worry,” Nathaniel said icily.

His voice was deep. It sounded even more suppressed in the dimly lit room.

As footsteps neared the bedside, Nathaniel’s handsome face came into view. “Nathaniel…”

“Don’t move.” Nathaniel took a seat by the bed, carefully assisting her in leaning against the headboard. “Is your head still hurting?”

His gentle voice provided Christina with a sense of security. “I feel much better now, but I’m just feeling a bit nauseous.”

“The doctor said you can only eat thirty minutes after you wake up.” Nathaniel reached out to massage her temples gently as if he was massaging an infant.

Christina nodded. “What happened earlier?”

“The driver behind us was drunk, but the police have taken him away. Everything is fine,” Nathaniel explained casually.

Christina’s face darkened. That’s not what Sebastian said earlier. Who could be behind this? Why didn’t he inform me about such a dangerous situation?

Christina held his hand. “If there’s any danger, you have to let me know. Even if I can’t be of much help. I can at least be there with you.”

Images of Nathaniel carrying her and running on the road filled her mind.

The genuine concern in his eyes was unmistakably sincere.
