Let Me Stay The Night

Christina’s gaze briefly lingered on Anya, who had arrived unwelcome, before she casually averted her attention. Then, she continued eating her breakfast as if nothing had happened.

Anya felt utterly ignored. With no one else present in the hospital room, she could not be bothered to pretend that she was close to Christina.

Whenever Anya laid eyes on Christina, it was like she encountered her prey. She couldn’t go a day without taunting and ridiculing Christina.

“Hey, I’m talking to you! Stop pretending you can’t hear me!” Anya angrily knocked over Christina’s small table. Hot soup and oatmeal splattered all over the bed, while a few slices of toast fell onto the blanket, narrowly brushing against Anya’s skirt.

Startled, Anya jumped up and screamed in a shrill and piercing voice, “Argh! I went to great lengths to buy this new skirt. What a stroke of bad luck!”

She grabbed a handful of tissues and attempted to wipe off the oil stains from her skirt. However, she couldn’t resist complaining. “You always spell disaster! It’s no wonder nothing good comes my way.”

Christina stared at the toasts which had fallen to the ground, a complex expression crossing her face. She was not full yet. Yet, her favorite toasts were ruined by Anya before she could even take a bite.

Christina originally had no intention of engaging with Anya, but after what happened, she couldn’t help but feel angry. “I didn’t invite you here. Not only did you waste my food, but you also disturbed my meal. What gives you the right to criticize me?”

Fortunately, a layer of blanket covered Christina’s stomach. Otherwise, the consequences would have been dire had her stomach been scalded.

Anya tossed a napkin at Christina and said in disdain, “Do you really think I want to visit you in the hospital? If it weren’t for the fact that Grandma can’t really leave the house and Uncle Timothy’s busy with work, I wouldn’t have come even if you begged.”

Christina’s expression turned cold. “The news of my hospitalization hasn’t been publicly disclosed. How did you all find out?”

In order to protect her, Nathaniel had gone to the extent of renting an entire floor in the hospital so that she could have a quiet environment during her pregnancy. Apart from the doctors and nurses, no outsiders were allowed to enter.

How did Anya manage to evade the tight surveillance and appear in my ward?

Anya’s expression momentarily stiffened, but she quickly found an excuse. “The Gibson family has shares in this hospital. It’s not difficult to learn about your hospitalization. No matter how capable Nathaniel is. he can’t control everything.”
