Let Me Stay The Night

Meanwhile, Christina was in the hospital enjoying Nathaniel’s meticulous care.

Nathaniel had placed the nutritious food that Raymond brought onto the table in front of Christina.

Each dish looked delicious and smelled wonderful. However, something was weighing on Christina’s mind. She forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls before she put her fork down.

Nathaniel frowned and said, “Christina, you should eat some more. Even if you’re not worried about yourself, you should still think of the baby in your womb. I don’t want to see either of you get hurt.”

He sighed before continuing, “I would go crazy if that were to happen.”

Nathaniel had been busy for the past two days and seemed to have lost some weight. Though Christina was worried about Lucas, she also felt bad to see Nathaniel like that.

“Sorry. I’ll do my best to take care of myself.” Christina picked up her fork again and divided the food into two portions. She pushed one portion of the food to Nathaniel and said, “I can’t finish all these by myself. You should eat with me.”

Nathaniel’s lips curved into a resigned smile. “Okay.”

They had just finished eating when they received good news from Lucas’ ward. He was finally awake after sleeping all night.

Christina threw herself onto Lucas’ hospital bed and embraced him. Sobbing, she said, “Lucas, you scared me to death.”

Tears filled Lucas’ eyes when he saw how worried Christina was. “Mommy, I’m okay. Don’t be sad. It’s not good for the baby.”

Julia hurried to persuade Christina, “Lucas is right. It’s good that he’s awake now. As his mother, you should take good care of yourself and make sure nothing happens to you. Otherwise, Lucas would start to worry about you again.”

She then shot a look at Nathaniel.

Nathaniel approached Christina and stood behind her. He helped her sit on the bed before handing her a handkerchief. “Lucas will recover after some rest. What we should do next is to find the mastermind behind the incident. We can’t let Lucas suffer for nothing.”

Christina blew her nose and quickly regained her composure. “I’m sorry for making you all worry.”
