Chapter 107
Christina was staying in the ward.
Around 7 pm, the hospital sent over some side dishes.
Because Patrick had just woken up and couldn't eat immediately, he could just be injected nutrient fluids, while Christina ate quickly and simply aside.
She originally thought that she might have to go back to the hotel to get her clothes, but she didn't expect Charles to pack all her luggage and send it over. It seemed that he wanted her to stay with Patrick in the hospital.
Christina took the luggage from the nurse and looked hesitant.
The man in the hospital bed was much better, and he was looking at her with complicated eyes. He seemed to be watching her leave or stay...
Christina didn't say anything. She took a new set of clothes and went straight into the bathroom. The man on the hospital bed had wanted to say that she could leave if she wanted, but he held back and didn't say it might because he was too tired today.
This ward was very spacious, and there was a single bed opposite Patrick's bed.
Christina went to the nurse and asked for a clean set of pillows and blankets. She cleaned up the bed and lay down there to rest.
"Patrick, remember to call me if you need anything.”
She warned him dutifully before she fell asleep.
He looked at her on the opposite bed, raised his eyebrows slightly, and had some conflicting emotions in his eyes. Only when he finally saw her close her eyes and breathe evenly did he let out a faint sigh of disappointment.
This was his wife...
When would his wife be as considerate as anyone else's...
The lights in the ward were dimmed, and Patrick tilted his head to look at the familiar faces across from him. Suddenly, he remembered how angry his grandfather was today.
He couldn't let them know that.
"No matter how inconsiderate she is, she's mine."
On the first quiet night after waking up, Patrick's wounds were still stinging. Did he have a masochistic tendency?
Did all men have this tendency to be abused? He could find someone who was very obedient, but he just liked her.
In the end, he gave an inexplicable chuckle.
Then he closed his eyes. This spacious and quiet ward was not so cold anymore.
The next day, Christina set her alarm and got up early.
Just in case Charles said that she did not contribute after she came here last time, Christina immediately began to serve Patrick after washing up.
"I told you not to move around. Can't you bear it? You've endured all these injuries..."
Christina's angry voice came from the ward. In the end, she seemed to have no choice but to compromise. "I know, I know, I'll help you undress..."
Around 8:00 in the morning, Charles and the others came to visit Patrick. Hearing this strange sound inside, they quickly opened the door and hurried in.
"Christina, you, what are you doing?"
Charles was a little dumbfounded, his eyes burning as he watched the two of them acting strangely and ambiguously on the bed.
When Christina heard the sound, she immediately turned her head to look at them. Her cheeks suddenly turned red, and her hands were still holding the man’s pants...
This scene was a little embarrassing.
"You will hurt Patrick with your clumsy hands!"
Judy, who came in quickly, glared at Christina with displeasure.
Christina was yelled at by her mother-in-law, and her expression was a little nervous. She quickly loosened her grip and stood by the bedside, not daring to do anything.
"Christina, what are you doing?"
Charles almost broke down. The old man said that he wanted her to take care of Patrick, but it seemed that he would bode ill rather than well.
"I, I just want to help him..."
"Does Patrick want to take a bath?"
Barbara also came over. Looking at this scene, she was a little embarrassed and turned her head. "Yes, it's all because of Patrick. He's screaming for a bath.”
Christina felt that Barbara was really observant. When she finished speaking, she looked down at the man in the hospital bed angrily.
Barbara was surprised to see her blaming Patrick so directly.
It was the first time she had ever seen someone so...close to him.
"Hurry up.”
Patrick ignored Christina's infuriated face and urged her calmly.
Then he turned round and chased them away unhappily. "You guys go out.”
"Patrick, you can ask the professional nurse to help you. She is unable to do anything..." Judy took a step forward and said that she rejected Christina.
Charles felt the same way. "Christina, stop being a troublemaker. He has a fracture of his right shoulder blade. Ask a professional nurse to help him..."
When he said halfway, Barbara noticed that the man on the hospital bed had a dark face and was about to lose his temper. So she immediately tugged Charles's arm to stop him from talking.
"Call a nurse? No, he'll be angry.”
Christina retorted him.
"Patrick is very picky. He won't let anyone touch him. He's as delicate as a girl. And he's very difficult to serve..." She told them very seriously.
Charles and the others were stunned.
"Get out now."
The picky man in the hospital bed raised his voice and roared angrily. He didn't know who he was angry with.
"Christina, who are you talking about?"
Charles and the others were driven away with a strange look on their faces, and when they closed the door, they only heard Patrick ask angrily.
"If Patrick has high blood pressure, it's all his wife's fault." Charles stood outside the door, muttering gloomily.
Barbara smiled awkwardly. She had known Patrick for more than ten years, and it was the first time she had seen him scold a woman like this.
"I didn’t expect Patrick to like this kind of woman..."
When they went to school together, they used to joke about what kind of woman the cool young master of the Hopkinses would like. Even though he never lacked beautiful ladies and socialites around him, no one could match him.
Charles's face was filled with despair. "Patrick likes this..."
He had admired Patrick since he was a child. Patrick was a first-rate man in terms of ability, skill, and character, but why was his vision so low...It took Charles a long time to accept this unreliable sister- in-law, Christina.
"How could his grandfather have let him marry this useless woman!"
Judy, who was also waiting outside the door, darkened her face and cursed in anger.
Hearing Judy's scolding, Charles raised his eyebrows and looked at her. She had been living in the United States since Patrick's father passed away. She was still very charming though he hadn't seen her for a long time.
None of them liked Judy. Judy seemed to reject Christina very much, and it was a disgust from the bottom of her heart.
"She's not completely useless,” Charles said casually. "Christina is very straightforward and very simple. Patrick has been under a lot of pressure since he was a child, and he's always hated those scheming women..."
Charles emphasized his last sentence and said it with an ambiguous meaning.
It was understandable that Patrick liked Christina.
Judy changed her expression, pursing her lips and stopping talking.
