After what had happened, how could Christina act as if everything was okay? How could her expression remain so calm? Did she know what would have happened if he arrived at her aid a single second later?Michael pushed back the fury that was rising in his chest. “Why would you give me something you’ve already worn? Just throw it out.”Provoked by what he had said, Christina felt the blood rush to her face. Did he mean to say that she was filthy? How dare he say that to her face when she did not even detest the clothes he got for her in the first place?!As her fever burned even more, she felt her head spin more than before. Her body temperature changed drastically and she found herself freezing for one second, yet scorching hot the next. It was becoming unbearable. Holding back how unwell she felt, Christina walked to the door, swung it open, and walked out of the room.Mustering all of her energy, she told herself to keep it together as she struggled not to fall in front of him. Af

Christina nodded her head. “I know. I don’t want to have anything to do with him either!”Ariel did not believe that Bill Hunt would harm her friend without a reason, nor would Michael Larson.Michael sat on the plastic waiting chair by the hallway, furrowing his brows as he thought about Matthew Henderson. If the Henderson family had seen Matthew’s confession to Christina on television, would they have sent those men to destroy her life? Would they do it just to uphold their honor?Matthew was a man with a terrible reputation, yet this did not deter the old master’s adoration toward his son. With an intention to appoint Matthew as his successor, the old master had always thought highly of Matthew. It was a traditional family, so Michael knew that there was no way the Henderson family would allow a divorcee to be wed into their household.This was just Michael’s wild guess and he obviously had no proof of it. It was definitely not appropriate to talk about something like this witho

“I didn’t see Christina.” John sighed, placing the thermos bottle on the table.As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he saw Michael’s assistant standing at the door of Christina’s room. He did not enter the room on the assumption that Michael was inside. John frowned while glancing at Sophia and Serena. He was not sure what to say. Deep down, Sophia was delighted at the sight of John’s anxious look. Seeing that Christina’s condition did not seem to get better, he wanted to speak about it, but the words were just stuck in his throat.Sophia tried to suppress her delight and asked, “What did the doctor say? Did you find out about Christina’s condition?”“I did.” John sat down.He did not explain the matter, which kept Sophia on the edge of her seat. However, she felt that she should not sound too eager to ask about Christina’s condition. “What did the doctor say?”“The doctor said that Christina’s having a fever as she got drenched in the rain. She’ll be fine after taking some

Simmering with rage, Ariel spoke in a blunt manner. Francis’ brows furrowed. “Madam Larson, you’re not welcome here. Please leave. Otherwise, I’m going to call security.”Feeling embarrassed, Heather vented her anger on Christina. “Christina, how dare you still appear in front of Michael?! He didn’t mind even though you couldn’t bear a child for him back then, but you actually cheated on him! What’s worse, you deliberately pushed Serena, who finally got pregnant, and caused her to suffer a miscarriage. The Larsons are so kind that we didn’t blame you for that. But now, you’re pestering Michael again. What’s your intention?”Christina lost her temper and clenched her fists. In fact, it was Michael who cheated on her at that time. How dare Heather falsify the issue and accuse Christina of cheating!Even Francis, who had a good temper, was offended by Heather’s words. He stood up and said, “Believe it or not, I’m going to smack you if you continue to make nonsensical accusations agai

‘What a terrible woman who’s always taking days off! She went to date her lover yesterday and consequently didn’t show up at work today. How awful of her!’Matthew was enraged for no apparent reason. There were several times when he felt like calling Christina, but he thought that doing so would cause him to lose his dignity. At last, he got Fred to call Christina. After trying to make a call, Fred told Matthew that Christina’s phone had been turned off. Stomping his feet, Matthew thought, ‘That woman must be busy dating her lover. She doesn’t want anyone to disturb her, so she turned off her phone.‘Watch out, Christina! I’m going to give you a lesson.’Matthew behaved grumpily all day and criticized everyone he met at work. Even Fred, who just quietly minded his own business, got criticized by Matthew. Fred began to look glum. When Matthew was finally done for the day, he drove to the old town only to discover that Christina and Francis were not around. The house was empty and
