Let Me Stay The Night

The medical team soon arrived in haste. They had to check Timothy’s condition thoroughly, so Christina had to leave the ward and wait outside anxiously.

“Mrs. Hadley, why don’t you take a seat and try to relax for a moment?” Lyle suggested in a gentle tone after noting Christina’s unsettled emotions. “The doctors are currently examining Mr. Gibson, and it may take some time for the results to be available. Do you need water or food? I can get someone to buy some for you.

Christina was completely focused on Timothy’s well-being and couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

Shaking her head, she replied, “No need for that. I’m not hungry or thirsty. If you need to grab a bite, go ahead. I’ll be fine alone.”

“If you need me, just let me know.” Lyle remained by Christina’s side silently, keeping her company until the results came out.

The exantination went on for over an hour. Timothy remained unconscious, showing no signs of stirring despite the doctors’ efforts to rouse him. It felt like Christina had imagined his fingers twitching earlier.

“Mrs, Hadley, please remain patient. I have confidence that Mr. Gibson will regain consciousness soon,”“” the attending physician reassured Christina calmly.

He left with his team after giving Christina some medical advice.

Christina remained in the ward until evening.

Nathaniel left work earlier than usual, eager to spend some quality time alone with Christina at home. However, upon arriving home, he was greeted by Raymond, who informed him that Christina had not yet returned.

A sense of unease washed over Nathaniel as his attempts to reach her went unanswered. He was on the verge of mobilizing a search team to find her when a timely call from Lyle came in, halting his actions.

Nathaniel immediately made his way to Timothy’s ward. Christina could barely hide her surprise when he showed up. “Nathaniel? Why are you here?”

After confirming that she was safe and sound, Nathaniel did his best to tamp down his irritation. “I didn’t see you at home after getting off work earlier than usual, and Raymond told me you’ve been out the whole day. I was worried and decided to come over to visit you and Dad,” he said gently.
