Chapter 49 Cold War

The phone rang over and over again, which seemed to be noisy in this quiet Ward.

Cory looked at his phone with a complicated expression. He knew that Carrie had called to ask him

back...

But at this moment, he didn't want to leave

“Cousin, didn't you come to C City just for your wedding? Remember to send me the invitation. My

wife and I will be

there on time.” Patrick looked at him

and said in a cold voice.

Cory's face darkened at his words.

“Cory you should go back”

Christina was afraid that they would fight again like this morning. In terms of fighting. Patrick could

definitely cripple Cory if he got serious.

"What about you?” Cory asked with concern.

“What do you think I will do to her?”

Patrick was displeased at the way they

cared about each other.

Then he sheered contemptuously. *People from the Dickens Family are in

the parking lot. They'll come up later

and I wonder if you want them to see

you two here.”

Cory's face turned worried when he heard the Dickens Family people

would come.

He looked at Christina and said quickly

Christina, take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything.”

He didn't stay here anymore. Their relationship was very complicated. If there was any

misunderstanding it would directly affect their reputation.

When Christina saw him leave, she did not care. With a gloomy face, she turned to walk straight to

the hospital bed in a bad mood.

While Patrick stared at Cory’s back with deep eyes, his right hand slightly clenched as if he was

angry at something

"Call me if you need anything. It

echoed in Patrick's mind.

especially

What he said unpleasant to hear!

'Why didn’t she call me if she needed anything? Why she had to look for Cory... He thought

People from the Dickens Family came to see Christina, but they found that Patrick's face was

gloomy, as if someone had pissed him off.

“Christina, you should take care of yourself. You mustn't eat something you can't next time.

Fortunately, the baby is safe” Mrs. Dickens had recovered from high blood pressure, and now she

was lecturing Christina loudly.

The old woman turned her head, her wrinkled old face with a fawning smile. “Mr. Hopkins. Christina

has been pampered by us since she was young. She is a little bit childish and not sensible

sometimes. Please forgive her. She will definitely change.”

Christina was judged as a worthless person. She lay on her side in the hospital bed, facing them with

her back, not even bothering to look at them.

Donald was forced to come over by Mrs. Dickens. He just glanced at Christina on the bed. It seemed

that he was indifferent to whether she was seriously ill or not.

On the contrary, Donald's eyes occasionally fell on Patrick with deep

thought.

"Christina, you must take care of yourself I made you a boiled donkey hide gelatin medicinal soup. I

heard it's especially effective for stopping bleeding. You should eat some now.”

As the daughter-in-law of the Dickens Family, Connie came with Donald. With a concerned smile on

her face. she put a ceramic pot on the table.

When Mrs. Dickens saw Christina lying on the bed, ignoring them, she was

immediately displeased. "How could

you forget the most basic manners!

If it weren't for Patrick's presence, she

would have scolded her, suppressing

her anger. “Get up quickly and eat the soup that your mother cooked. It's

important to care for the baby!”

Christina's face was dark and she was lying on her side on the bed, as if she didn't hear her

grandma, refusing to

move.

She would never eat the food that. Connie made!

“She needs rest”

Patrick, who had been silent for a long

time, looked at them and suddenly

spoke coldly.

Obviously, it was an order to leave.

When the Dickens Family heard him, they didn’t linger much. After fake

Care, they left

Family to come over to disgust me?”

Christina looked at him with a cold face “How's your Miss Jones doing? Don't you need to be with

her? What do you want to do here? Just shoot it!" Hertone was cold and distant.

Patrick was standing by the bed, but she was lying flat.

His gaze was condescending and Christina could clearly see the corner of his lips slightly pursed in

an attempt to speak, but she waited for a few

minutes, but the man remained silent.

“Cory and I were locked in the ward last night, but we didn't do anything.”

She thought that he had come here only to warn her and teach her a

lesson. It seemed reasonable for men to cheat on their wives and keep mistresses, and for women, it

was dissolute to get close to other men, How ridiculous.

At this moment, she did not hide her anger and looked at him with an angry face.

Patrick looked at her but did not speak.

Christina felt that he didn't believe her. and she grew angrier.

“Why should I explain! What he did with Cecilia. She shouted in her heart. The more she thought

about it, the angrier she became. She covered her head with the white sheet in the end.

Thinking of Cecilia, she tightened her

grip on the sheet.

“Name your price and abort the child”

“If Patrick wants a child. I'l have one with him.”

“Even if you give birth to this bastard, i will abuse him.”

That day in the dining room, Cecilia shouted arrogantly. She wanted to refute, but those words were

stuck in her throat.

There was a faint sadness in Christina's

eyes as her right hand subconsciously stroked her abdomen.

After giving birth to the child, I must leave,’ she said to herself in her heart.

“Mr. Hopkins should not let his great grandson be bullied.’

Thinking of the old man, Christina felt relieved as if she had found her hope.

She lifted the quilt over her head and was anxious to find her cell phone. Now she wanted to call

him.

But as soon as Christina lifted the sheet. “Don’t move” There was a muffled voice above her head.

She was all tensed up and looked sideways at the man beside the bed. He hadn't left yet!

“The doctor said you have to stay in the

hospital for a week,” Patrick's voice sounded a little strange as if he had deliberately calmed down

his voice,

“You can't get out of bed.”

Christina withdrew her hand and stopped looking for her phone. She lay back on her bed

obediently.

Patrick looked at her for a long time and struggled.

She was not that obedient before!

Inexplicably, he remembered what

Charles had said. Woman was such a

Creature. If you didn't explain it to her

clearly, she would imagine things.

All of a sudden, Patrick's expression was a little complicated. In the end, he said a few words with

difficulty and awkwardness, “Im not the one who drugged you to make you bleed.”

“I know.” The woman on the bed replied coldly as if she didn't want to hear his voice

Patrick was surprised and a little happy to hear her saying that.

“I didn't go to the hotel to see you that night because.”

Christina thought of the phone call and her face turned pale. “I'm not interested in you two. Please

shut up!”

She interrupted him with a cold face, grabbed the sheet, and wrapped

herself up.

Patrick then fell silent.

Not long after she heard the sound of

his footsteps, and his clear and cold

voice telling the nurse, “Take care of her.”

The door of the ward was shut.

Christina heaved a long sigh as if his existence would bring a sense of oppression.

After this time, she became more and more aware of the gap between her and him.

And the thought that she had hidden in her heart that she should not have.

were all cut off by her.

The disease of cervical polyps was not too serious, but pregnant women with this inflammation

must be carefully treated. Christina was very cooperative to take medicine. After

two days of treatment, she has obviously been better. The doctor said that there was no need for

surgery.

“I know. I'll go back after the hospital allows me in a few days.”

At around seven o'clock in the evening, Mr. Hopkins called her. Christina was a little nervous at first,

thinking that the old man would scold her. Fortunately, he didn't

Mr. Hopkins seemed to have known that her physical condition had stabilized, but he was in a good

mood and asked if she was really pregnant with twins.

Christina rarely smiled at the mention of twins. “Before, the embryo was too tiny to notice, but now

it's confirmed to

ixe twins. And the hospital confirmed that they are boys through the sex test: offetal amniotic fluid.”

It was not that Christina valued boys over girls, but that she grew up in the Dickens Family and knew

that in the rich families, daughters were used as tools through marriage, and sons were the heirs

that they focused on and cherished.

If they were boys, then at least the people of Hopkins Family would value her children, even if she

couldn't be with them in the future.

Her eyes darkened at the thought.

On the other side of the phone, Mr.

Hopkins was very excited. Christina could hear him shouting at the butler

through the phone. “Christina is pregnant with twins. We can have two grandchildren in Hopkins

Family by the end of the year. Hahaha.”

Christina was infected by Mr. Hopkins's joyful voice and a smile appeared on her lips.

“Miss Dickens, what makes you smile so happily?” The nurse came in with the dinner. “It's time for

dinner.”

“Eat more. Don't grandchildren.”

Starve my

Mr. Hopkins vaguely heard that she was about to eat dinner. After thinking for a while, he added,

"Where's Patrick? What do you want to eat? Let that bastard buy for you.”

Christina was in a good mood. When she heard the name Patrick, her face turned gloomy

“I see,” she replied sullenly and hung

Christina grabbed her chopsticks and was about to eat, but when she opened the lunch box, she

saw eggs fried shrimp, fried pork liver, and spinach. They were all good for her body, but all on her

blacklist.

1..Formy children Imust do my best to get rid of the habit of being picky about

food

She picked up a piece of pork liver and stuffed it into her mouth angrily. She chewed it

expressionless and really

wanted to spit it out.

The nurse was surprised to see that Christina was in pain as she was taking poison, and she only ate

prawns of the fried prawns with eggs. purposely picking the cess off with chopsticks.

“Miss Dickens, is there a problem with these dishes?” The nurse asked.

Christina blushed. L" She was

embarrassed.

“She's picky and doesn't eat eggs.”

Outside the room, a deep and clear voice came

Christina's face darkened

as she

looked at the door.

Why is he here again?"
