Chapter 298 Your House Is On Fire

Francis lowered his gaze momentarily and looked up soon. He teased, “You’re going on a date? Do you mind if 1 tag along?”

Christina was taken aback to hear that. Both men were at odds every time they met and wouldn’t stop until a winner was determined. His words made her shudder in fear.

She felt slightly guilty as he had to delay getting treatment because of her.

“What should we do now? Should I get the doctor to come here?” Christina panicked and reached into her pocket to get her phone.
