Chapter 402

She felt so sleepy.

"I want to go back to my room to rest."

After half a cup of coffee, Christina suddenly felt sleepy. Perhaps it was because that she finally said

what she always wanted to say. She cursed it out and finally felt relieved.

Charles didn't dare to provoke Christina at this time. "You should sleep until the afternoon. Get some

more rest." He listened while she was cursing Patrick and knew that she should feel relieved now.

The clock in the hall stroke 6 in the morning. The wind and snow that had been going for days finally

stopped. The clouds in the sky revealed the sun, and a ray of morning light appeared in the dark sky

outside.

The tourists in their rooms woke up and looked out of the window at the morning light. It seemed to

lighten their mood. People in the hall began to discuss in a low voice.

Bad weather had been gone, and they couldn't wait to go home.

"The airport has opened, but there are no tickets left."

"The airport was closed two days ago, and there were passengers stranded there. Even if we can buy

tickets now, we have to wait in line for at least two or three days..."

Christina and Charles walked through the crowd and listened to their anxious discussion.

Suddenly, they saw an "acquaintance." The family was pestering a waiter and cursing. The bearded

man stood in the front. " we are VIP guests. I know the hotel manager very well. You must arrange for

us to go home immediately."

"Sir, I'm very sorry. We'll arrange your trip home as soon as possible, but we may have to wait another

three days..."

"Three days?!"

Bearded immediately bristled and roared in a hoarse voice, "That's your problem. I want to go home

now! You have to get me a ticket!"

"I'm really sorry. I can't help you today."novelbin

Christina frowned at the noise. It felt terrible to be stranded during a trip abroad.

Seeing that Christina was worried about being stranded, Charles casually told her, "We can take a

private plane to leave now. Don't worry."

"You can leave now?"

When the bearded man heard them, he immediately turned around and strode forward. He grabbed

Charles with his strong arm and shouted.

"I'm a VIP of this hotel. I should be the one to leave first. Where is the plane? Where's the ticket? Don't

think about leaving by yourself first."

Charles shook him off impatiently. "If you want to leave, go find the hotel staff."

"What do you mean by that?!" the bearded man looked fierce.

Christina walked up to the bearded man with a cold face. "I mean, whether you live or die is none of

our business." Then she suddenly kicked him hard in the foot.

The bearded man's right foot hurt from the kick. He pulled back his foot, his face turning livid. "You,

you..."

Christina had long wanted to teach him a lesson. Such a selfish person shouldn't be treated with

kindness.

Charles dusted his clothes and watched the bearded man hold his foot in pain. He was now sure that

he should never provoke Christina when she was angry. She was looking for someone to vent her

anger.

The bearded man's wife lowered her voice. "You can give us a ride on your way home. We live in

Germany..."

"It's none of my business where you live."

Just then, a tall figure walked over quickly. Lucy looked around with her cold eyes. Her expression was

gloomy, and she was in a bad mood. "No place for you. Get lost."

Probably it was because Lucy was too gloomy and scary. The bearded man and his family immediately

shut up and did not dare to speak again. Even the waiter beside them took a few steps back.

After a while, the bearded man and his family turned around and left, not daring to say anything,

complaining in a low voice.

"Damn it. I let such a weak one get away." Lucy was upset, and she cursed.

Christina didn't know what she was curing about and looked at her. Charles suddenly became alarted.

He leaned closer to Christina's ear and reminded her, "This woman is not easy to deal with. Don't get

too close to her..."

"What are you talking about?" Lucy looked back and glared at Charles coldly.

Charles was stunned by her roar. Before he could react, Lucy looked at Christina and said to her.

"What's the name of that weak man trapped in the stone house with you? Did he say anything to you?

Tell me everything you know about him."

Lucy sounded rough and commanding.

Christina didn't mind. She was thinking that Lucy should be asking about the photographer man who

was trapped with her.

"What do you want with him?"

Lucy couldn't stand her slow manner, and her expression showed her impatience. "I'm asking you.

Don't waste my time. Damn it, he's already gone. Tell me what you know right now..."

"She has no obligation to tell you anything."

Seeing that Lucy was aggressive, Charles was angry and said, "I don't think Patrick would want her

involved in this. She needs to rest now."

Lucy's face was obviously much colder. She looked at Charles for a moment, then turned to look at

Christina. "I had eight people to keep an eye on him, and he still got away. Miss Dickens, he is not as

simple as you think."

After saying that, Lucy did not ask any more questions. Her face darkened as if she had suffered a

major setback tonight. She was in a bad mood, so she turned around and strode away.

Christina looked at Lucy leaving angrily.

Seeing that she was staring at Lucy's back, Charles nudged her with his elbow. "Just ignore her. I

guess things aren't going well with her, and she is in a bad mood. You should go back to your room and

rest."

And they could discuss everything after she had a good rest.

Christina and Charles both went back to their rooms to rest.

Christina was exhausted. She stretched out her arms. There were so many things going on. She also

felt strange about the photographer man.

She fell asleep with questions in her mind.

When Christina woke up naturally, it was already 12 o'clock in the afternoon.

She found that Crystal had already gotten up and left the room, and she was the only one left in the

room. Crystal probably didn't want to disturb her. After sleeping for so long, she felt refreshed and

quickly went into the bathroom to wash up.

"Miss Dickens, you're up. We'll bring you lunch now."

Christina had just opened the door, but to her surprise, a woman was waiting for her outside.

"No, I'm not hungry."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know where the woman in my room went?" Where did

Crystal go?

The woman looked at her respectfully. "She's with Mr. Hopkins."

Last night, Patrick had a simple operation to remove the steel knife from his back. As a patient,

Chandler probably took Crystal and Geoffrey to visit him.

Christina's expression didn't change. She walked towards the big room at the end of the corridor.

At this time, there were no guards outside the room. She pushed open the door and walked in. The

room was big and still quiet. After walking for more than ten steps, she heard some voices coming from

inside.

"I did. I did."

There was a childish and excited voice. "I slept with Mrs. Hopkins."

"Mrs. Hopkins said she would watch movies if she couldn't sleep at night... We watched animal world.

Mrs. Hopkins said she didn't like male lions because they were lazy and bad to female lions. They were

scumbags." Geoffrey imitated the tone of an adult and said.

Laughter came from the room.

Christina pushed the door open. They all turned to look at her.

Patrick sat on the bed, wearing a hospital gown. He looked much better now after resting all night. He

looked at her at the door, his eyes full of affection.

Christina could not help but feel a little awkward and shy. She walked towards them.

Chandler and his family were in the room. They saw her walking in and immediately stood up to leave.

Geoffrey was led out.

Geoffrey turned around and reminded him worriedly like a little butler, "Uncle Hopkins, you have to rest

more. Don't forget. You can't touch the water when you have a wound on your back. You have to sleep

on your side. Don't press the wound. It's so hard. But you have to bear it."

Chandler laughed and teased his son. "You are like a middle-aged man all of a sudden."

Geoffrey raised his head and said seriously, "Of course. Mrs. Hopkins said that Aunt Parker is afraid,

so we can't be afraid. We have to help."

Chandler held his little hand and looked into Christina's eyes. He smiled and said, "Thank you. It seems

that you have taught him well."

He remembered how Geoffrey was around Christina. He would listen to whatever Christina said.

Christina looked at the little boy's bright eyes and patted him on the head. Crystal stood beside him and

whispered to her that she would be waiting for her outside. Then the family of three went out.

She and Patrick were left alone in the spacious room. She suddenly felt a little awkward.
