Let Me Stay The Night

Nathaniel’s expression turned frosty as he stared at the woman who bumped into Christina. “Apologize right now!”

The woman flashed them a big smile as she apologized, “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to bump into you. I was rushing to get on the ship to look for my friend. Are you okay? Do you need me to find a doctor for you? I’ll take care of the medical expenses.”

The woman’s gaze and tone made Christina feel uneasy. Since she wasn’t hurt and the other party apologized, she let it slide.

“I’m fine. Be careful next time. Otherwise, you might accidentally hurt yourself.”

“Thank you for understanding. If fate allows it, I hope we can be friends. Goodbye.”

The woman went ahead and boarded the cruise ship.

Christina turned to Nathaniel and said, “Don’t be upset. She didn’t do it on purpose.”

Nathaniel hummed a response.

Christina did not take the incident to heart. After they boarded the ship, she slept in their guest room until nightfall.

A masquerade ball was held on their first night on the cruise ship. Christina and Nathaniel dressed up and attended the ball. She accompanied him and met with many influential people. However, she felt overwhelmed after some time. She found an excuse to escape the ball and went to the deck for fresh air.

She took off her mask and breathed a sigh of relief.

As Christina stared at the vast and dark ocean before her, she felt a sense of fear surge within her.

She closed her eyes as painful memories flooded her mind.

“Are you unwell?” A familiar voice rang from behind her.

Christina quickly opened her eyes and instinctively turned around to see who it was. Oh. It’s the woman that bumped into me this morning at the stairs.
