Chapter 550

"According to the monitoring of the hospital's elevators and corridors, Crystal did leave the ward

after you received the call. Then she asked a nurse which floor the pediatrics department was on

and went down to the fifth floor..."

Chandler and Charles were staring at the video with grim faces

Crystal did once tell them that when Chandler received the call and left without saying anything, she

turned worried and went downstairs. Just outside Geoferrey’s ward, someone clapped a hand over

her mouth, dragged her to the stairs, and pushed her down.

She didn't lie. Everything she had told them actually happened. How could they ignore that and

keep blaming her for having an abortion?

Chandler sat on the chair, whose mind was in a mess.

Crystal had always been a kind and easy-going person. Who could be so heartless to push her down

the stairs when she was pregnant?

“We can't see the person's face clearly.”

"However, judging from the height and figure, it must be a woman.”

They thought it would be easy to establish the woman's identity with so many cameras in the

hospital, but that woman somehow managed to hide from those cameras. She must have been very

familiar with this hospital.

"Search more alleys and streets in the neighbourhood carefully! She couldn't just come from and go

into nowhere.”

Charles, who was also angry about what had happened to Chandler, patted him on the shoulder

and then asked his men to search more carefully.

No matter who she was, she had to pay for what she had done.

Who could she be?

They compared the figure of every woman recorded by the surveillance cameras in the shops and

streets near the hospital to that of the woman they were looking for. This was the only thing they

could do for the time being.

Every crime had a motive.

Charles was confused. Who would hate Crystal so much?

Chandler said firmly, even though his expression looked complicated

Charles raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure?” Since when did Chandler trust Erica so much?

In Charles’ opinion, Erica was absolutely a lunatic when she was jealous. He wouldn't be surprised at

all if it turned out that she had sent someone to push Crystal down the stairs.

“It wasn't her.”

Without explaining anything, Chandler just repeated his words. Erica had nothing to do with this

since she was there with him in the hospital when that accident happened. Besides, after so many

years, he had known her well. She wouldn't do something like that.

Seeing that Chandler didn't suspect Erica at all, Charles couldn't help but feel a little sorry for

Crystal. After years of marriage, even though it was a fake one, the connection between Chandler

and Erica seemed to have been strong enough to prevent the third man from getting involved.

“No wonder she had to run to France...” Charles grumbled in a low voice.

Chandler's face turned pale immediately. He compressed his lips together tightly as he heard this.

While their investigation was getting nowhere, Christina, who had been sponging off the Hopkins

family, suddenly got a surprising message from Lucy.

“Treat me at the Gordon Hotel for dinner. Book the whole 12th floor. I prefer quieter places.”

Lucy sent this to Christina early in the morning.

Christina had just finished breakfast with Senior Mr. Hopkins when she received this and read it

expressionlessly.

Only Lucy would talk to her so shamelessly.

How much would it cost to book an entire floor at the best hotel in town?

Lucy arrived on time at their appointment. In her opinion, she had nothing to be ashamed of since

she was upholding justice by spending Christina's money. If Robin Hood could be praised for

robbing the rich to feed the poor, so could she.

Otherwise, diligent but poor workers like her would all be hopeless in this unfair world.

“What is it?"

Christina didn't care about the money, but she was a little upset about what Lucy did last time.

Christina had sent her tons of messages, asking her to find out how was Crystal doing in France, and

Lucy replied none of them.

“No hurry! You'll definitely be satisfied with what I'm going to tell you, I promise.”

Lucy didn't say a word until she finished 12 delicious and expensive dishes. Then she wiped her

mouth with a napkin and finally started to report to Christina at an extremely slow pace.

Seeing her attitude, Christina had an urge to press Lucy's head into the plate.

“Your dear friend Crystal wasn't studying cooking in France as she told you. Instead, she’s working at

the kitchen in an old, shabby French restaurant...”

"I already know it!” Christina rolled her eyes.

Lucy raised her eyebrows, surprised that Christina, someone who seldom left her home, would

already know about that.

She must have heard it from Patrick.

"Well, then do you know the reason for Crystal's miscarriage is that someone pushed her down the

stairs? Easily and directly. Just like this.”

Lucy flicked a tall glass off the table quickly. Bang!

She did that without any hesitation or mercy.

According to Lucy's technical description, the person who pushed Crystal down the stairs was calm

and ruthless, who showed absolutely no mercy when doing that.

Christina's expression changed. She asked with anger burning in her eyes, “Who did that?”

Who could have done such a cruel and crazy thing?

“No idea.”

Lucy shrugged, replying casually.

Christina frowned angrily, who was apparently going to scold her. Lucy defended herself

immediately, “Calm down. You're still so impatient! Didn't I tell you hundreds of times that this was

your biggest weakness?”

“Cut the crap!” Christina interrupted her.

“Technically. I do have no idea who's that person because I don't have any direct evidence,” Lucy

wasn't afraid of Christina at all.

"Actually, I didn’t plan to investigate what happened to Crystal.”

“But yesterday when I logged in the internal system, I found that Mr. Hopkins has been investigating

her miscarriage.”

In short, Lucy hacked into the internal system for useful information because she was sort of a

slacker.

With almost all her patience, Christina tried to understand what Lucy was talking about, while Lucy

kept dragging irrelevant matters into their conversation.

Lucy was as sensitive as a cat. Knowing that Christina must be having a hard time putting up with

her, she couldn't help but feel satisfied.

Lucy was deliberately irritating Christina since the thought of Christina living a comfortable life at

the Hopkins family made her a little jealous.

She didn't dare to contradict Patrick at work, so she bullied his wife to make herself feel better.

As a petty person, she had to do this to maintain her mental balance.

“The woman who hurt Crystal is familiar with the hospital. She knows where the surveillance

cameras and medical supplies are and when will doctors and nurses change shifts.”

Lucy smiled. “Miss Dickens, when you were pregnant, you also went to the hospital due to food

poison after eating an unknown takeout and then almost killed by someone broke into your ward

with a pillow.”

Lucy was smiling gloatingly while Christina still felt a little scared when she recalled all of that.

She had a quarrel with Patrick and was living in Crystal's apartment at that time. Someone sent her a

takeout when she was alone. Thinking that it must have been ordered by Crystal, she ate it and then

had to go to the hospital due to food poison. When she was sleeping in the ward, some stranger

broke into her ward and tried to kill her by covering a pillow over her nose and mouth. Now that

she thought of it, that person was also calm and ruthless and didn’t show any mercy at all.

"Actually, you have been attacked quite frequently ever since you married Mr. Hopkins.”

“The most recent time was when you were on a business trip to Japan on behalf of the company of

the Shepherd family. Someone tried to hurt you with a used needle from the infectious diseases

department at the hospital.”

Christina's eyes widened in shock when she heard this.

It was her first time on a business trip abroad on behalf of the company. Patrick arranged himself a

business trip to Japan too so that they could spend some time together. Unfortunately, he had to

spend a night at the hospital because he ate some bad food when they were shopping. On that very

night, a crazy woman almost killed Christina by trying to stab a used needle from the infectious

diseases department into her chest.

“What are you implying?”

“Well, I just want to remind you that Brianna happened to be a graduate of nursing.” Lucy decided

not to keep Christina guessing. She paused for seconds and then added, “What's more, every

accident seems to have something to do with Mr. Hopkins.”

Every accident Christina had started with her making Patrick angry or ill.
