Chapter 431

"Why are you here?"

Christina knew Brianna was particularly introverted and autistic that people in the Hopkins family

usually spoke to her in a low voice.

But this time, she really couldn't bear it and couldn't calm down. Clenching Brianna's shoulder with

her right hand, Christina urged, "Brianna, tell me, was it you that attack me with a needle just now?"

"Why did you do this?"

Christina suppressed her anger. Anyone who encountered such a thing would be shocked and

furious. The doctor just said that the needle was used by a patient in the infectious diseases

department. As the needle was inserted into her body, even if it was not inserted into her heart, her

limbs would be infected and then amputated.

"Brianna, we don't have any hatred between us. Why did you do this?" Christina pressed her hard.

It happened so suddenly that Christina didn't see her face clearly, but her back was very similar to

Brianna's. Besides, Brianna suddenly appeared, keeping crying.

But she kept crying.

The harder Christina pushed her, the more helplessly she cried. Curling up into a ball with her long

hair in a mess, she muttered, "Christina, I...I don't know..."

"What are you doing?"

In the corridor on the right side, Judy strode over with a pair of brand-new red high heels. Seeing

Christina angrily shaking Brianna, who was sitting on the ground in a mess, she was shocked for a

while but then angry.

"Christina, you bullied Brianna!"

Judy rushed over and pushed Christina away with her long nails scratching Christina's fair arm, and

then Brianna was protected by her.

Not giving up, Christina pulled Brianna forward again. "Tell me if it was you just now..."

Brianna kept shrinking back and crying, tears falling on the floor.

Judy yelled angrily and hurriedly in the case of Christina's black belt in Karate. "Christina, if you dare

to be arrogant again, I'll call the police. I'll see if the Senior Mr. Hopkins would let you, a woman

from the Dickens family, bully our own family."

Looking at her mother-in-law, Christina felt a chill in her heart. She was a woman from the Dickens

family, so they were family.

Judy didn't want to admit her. She felt that it was okay because Patrick and Senior Mr. Hopkins were

very good to her. If something really happened, they,who had the same surname Hopkins, were a

family while she was an outsider.

"When did you see me bullying her?"

Christina shook off Brianna and looked at them with disgust. Gritting her teeth, she asked, "Do you

think I'm a bad person by Brianna's side while she has been crying. I'm just asking why she suddenly

appeared in this hospital.”

"You can come to this hospital, but can't we?" Judy darkened her face.

"Patrick's sick. We can't visit him without your permission? Don't think you can be arrogant since

you gave birth to two children for the Hopkins family. There are many women who can give birth to

children for the Hopkins family, and Patrick will always be my son.”

Judy was very dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law's division of power in the Hopkins family, not to

mention that she was the daughter of the Dickens family.

Christina didn't continue.

She turned around and left.

Judy was confused about Christina's sudden stop. Glaring at her back, she said angrily, "She doesn't

care about her mother-in-law at all.”

Putting cold water on her face in the bathroom, Christina slowly calmed down.

She had previously posted a moment that Patrick was hospitalized because of an allergy when Judy

and Brianna were on vacation in Japan, so it seemed reasonable for them to rush to the hospital to

visit Patrick after they saw the news.

"It was Brianna who attacked me with a needle just now..."

Looking at herself in the mirror, Christina's face became paler and paler, her fear gradually

intensifying.

She couldn't figure out why Brianna did this.

Besides, she was crying so fearfully and helplessly that it didn't seem like she was acting at all.

Taking out the Ancient Coin from her pocket, Christina found a trace of scratching on the surface of

the metal coin. If it hadn't happened to be hidden in the pocket on her chest, she might have died.

Christina felt helpless because there was no proof.

The more she thought about it, the colder she felt.

Thinking of something, she suddenly rushed out of the bathroom, went straight to the doctor's

office, and anxiously asked a doctor. "Where's the needle just now? I want to check the fingerprints

on it."

"It has been sent to the medical garbage room.” The male doctor was a little confused. "I advised

you to call the police just now. You said there's no need. In case such a dangerous needle would be

touched by others, we asked the nurse to deal with it immediately..."

"I'll go and find it now." Christina wanted to look for it in the trash can.

Writing on the medical record, the nurse looked up at her and shook her head. "The medical waste

in our infectious disease department is immediately disinfected by alcohol spray. You can't look for

such highly infectious dangerous goods. Even if you find it, the fingerprint will definitely be gone.”

She suddenly felt herself very stupid. At that time, she thought it was Brianna at her first feeling. She

refused to call the police, not daring to make a big fuss because the news that the daughter of the

IP&G Group was a suspect had a great impact on the stock market. Now she regretted that she had

lost such important material evidence.

She wondered if it was Brianna.

Now having a growing suspicion in her heart, she was restless.

"Christina."

Looking up after hearing the low voice, she found Brianna standing timidly outside the doctor's

office with messy makeup. Although she had already tidied up, it was easy to see that she had cried

before

"Christina... it's not me."

Seeming to have mustered up all her courage, she said with a soft voice word by word, "I, I won't

hurt you.”

Meeting her clear eyes, Christina couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Patrick found some clues without being told about the attack.

"What happened?”

Her face was a little pale. After she adjusted her mood, it could be still seen that she had been

frightened before.

"I met Brianna when I went out just now." Christina didn't say much.

Patrick was surprised. "Brianna?"

As soon as he spoke, the door of the ward was pushed open. It was Judy. Looking at her son on the

bed angrily, she strode closer. "Christina is now bullying Brianna. How much longer will you pamper

this woman from the Dickens family regardless of your own family?"

Brianna followed Judy and kept her head down, looking timid, not daring to make a sound.

Although Patrick always had a cold attitude towards his family, he was more patient and tolerant to

this autistic sister.

He asked, "What happened?"

Holding the coin tightly in her right hand seriously without any answer, she scrutinized Brianna.

Patrick did have some work to do in Japan this time. After taking the desensitizing medicine, he was

much better. He arranged a special plane for Judy, Brianna, and Christina to return first.

"I can fly economy class with my colleagues.”

After saying that angrily, Christina turned around and left.

Used to her temper, Patrick frowned and stared at her back as she strode away. Intending to catch

up with her, he took out his phone and asked the branch to send someone to go back with her.

"This is the daughter of the Dickens family." Gently taking Brianna's arm while watching Christina

leave willfully, Judy was even more dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, Christina...” Brianna wanted to speak something.

Turning around, Judy glared at her. "You're no use just being bullied. Remember that you're the

madam of the Hopkins family.”

Looking frightened, Brianna immediately lowered her head.

Meeting up with Rachel and the others, Christina took a plane back with them.

"I thought you were going to stay here.” Veronica looked at her unfriendly.

Penny leaned closer to Christina's ear and whispered, "You didn't go back to the hotel last night.

Where did you go?"

They were not worried that something bad would happen to her, because last night it was Christina

who decided to leave the team. In the adult world, it reminded people of those dirty deals with a

group of people going on a business trip but one of them disappearing all night. Especially it was

Christina who was easy to get into trouble.

In a bad mood without looking at them, Christina closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair

irritably.

"We are on a business trip together. You should tell us where you are..." Penny muttered

discontentedly when she was ignored.

Rachel looked at Penny and whispered, "She didn't sleep all night. Don't disturb her.”

Feeling surprised, then looking at Christina's beautiful face, which was indeed like the haggard look

of staying up all night, Penny muttered curiously, "What did she do last night? She's always

energetic...”

Not asleep, Christina could hear Rachel talking. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at Rachel,

thinking this woman was really thoughtful.
