Female Novel
Chapter 403
"How's your injury?"
Christina looked at him in his hospital gown and managed to say in a choking voice.
She did not approach and stood two meters behind the bed.
Patrick sat on the big bed. On the right side of the bed, there were a few bottles of injection hanging
from an iron frame. There were still two bottles of injection. His eyes were deep and complicated. He
stared at her standing two meters away.
"It's okay." He replied in a low voice.
"Oh."
Perhaps because he was too focused on her, Christina could not look straight into his face. She turned
around and glanced around the room. Silence fell again.
Christina fixed her eyes on the golden pocket watch on the nightstand. Her face was very calm and she
did not say anything, her brain teeming and seething with feelings.
She asked Charles to return the pocket watch to him.
It seemed that it had become a habit for him to take this pocket watch with him.
Her mind started drifted and she cast down her eyes to think about a lot of things until Patrick suddenly
said, "Come home with me."
She was stunned and looked up at his handsome face.
Patrick's deep eyes were sharp, burning as if he was looking into her eyes. He repeated in a low voice,
"Christina, come with me to the Hopkins family."
Go back to Hopkins family.
Christina did not expect him to spring it on her like that. She was stunned and did not know how to
answer him, but at least she did not resist the idea in her heart.
The phone on the bedside table rang at the right time.novelbin
The sudden ringing of the phone made the atmosphere a little more natural for them to be alone.
Christina turned her head away from him and strode towards the bedside table.
Patrick was still on the drip in his right hand. And Christina didn`t feel embarrassed to help him pick up
the phone and walked up to hand it to him.
She glanced at it quickly, it showed the word "Grandfather."
Patrick glanced at her first, who was standing in front of him less than half a meter away. He reached
out to get the phone. His slender clod fingers touched her hand.
The phone kept ringing, and it sounded a little annoying. Patrick quickly clicked the answer button.
"What's going on?" said the hoarse and angry voice on the other end of the phone.
"You sent so many people to take the route... and you hurt yourself finally for something worthless!"
Senior Mr. Hopkins scolded.
Even if Patrick didn't turn on the loudspeaker, Christina stood beside him and heard it clearly. Grandpa
would never be polite to his grandson. He was obviously concerned about him, but he scolded him so
hard.
Grandpa was furious and shouted at his phone, "What's going on with you and Christina? You both
went abroad. You don't look after the twins at home, do you?"
Probably because he felt that there was no response from Patrick, Senior Mr. Hopkins scolded him and
shouted angrily... "Can you hear me? Get back immediately!"
Patrick looked at the phone and didn't say anything. Christina answered naturally, "I see."
He was stunned in the other end of the phone. Senior Mr. Hopkins did not expect Christina to reply.
"We'll fly back today."
Patrick replied unhurriedly and hung up the phone.
"Would it be too urgent to fly back today?"
When Charles and the others heard the news that they were going back to China, they were all a little
surprised and looked regretful. "I also plan to stay in Switzerland for another day or two after the wind
and snow stop. There are several tourist areas near this town, and the hot springs are also famous."
Charles secretly elbowed Christina next to him and lowered his voice. "Tell Patrick that we'll play for
another two days before we go back."
Christina ignored him.
In fact, she also felt a little rushed, and although Patrick's back was slightly injured, it would be better to
rest for another day before leaving.
But since Patrick said so, maybe he had something urgent to deal with back home. After all, he was a
busy man.
"Go to the lobby and eat something. We'll leave in an hour." She walked towards her room.
Charles looked at her back with resentment. "Hey, Christina, it's rare for us to come out together. Just
stay with Patrick for another two days on your honeymoon."
Mr. Shepherd`s philosophy of life was to eat, sleep, and have fun. Especially after such a tragic
experience in the snow mountain, he had to treat himself well.
But when Christina heard the word "Honeymoon travel," she walked faster.
These sweet and good times had nothing to do with her marriage.
Patrick's men were very efficient. An hour later, they rushed to the airport.
When they got into the comfortable plane, it took off at a high speed. Although it was cold, it derived
most appalling beauty from the blue sky overhead. As if the hardships happened yesterday were just a
dream.
Christina also felt that life sometimes seemed like a dream when she recalled it.
Everything went smoothly. The plane flew back to A City from Switzerland. As soon as she got off the
plane, someone came to pick her up. Before she could think too much, she was already urged to take
the special car and go straight to the Hopkins family villa halfway up the mountain in A City.
Christina was a little confused. She had not set foot in Hopkins family for a long time, as she was
familiar with the magnificent villa.
When she got off the plane, Patrick seemed to be in a hurry to urge her before she said that she
wanted to transfer back to C city.
"Where's grandpa?" She looked a little prim.
Nanny Faang looked excited and greeted her warmly, "Junior Mrs. Hopkins, you're back. Senior Mr.
Hopkins had something to do at the moment, so he rushed out and said that he was going to stay with
his friends for a few days. Are you tired? The master bedroom is ready. Let me run you a hot bath. And
someone is preparing your favorite dishes..."
"Ok." Christina nodded, not knowing what to say addressing Nanny Faang`s fervor.
As for Senior Mr. Hopkins, the old man went out. Originally, she was still struggling to say something
when she met him. After all, she was kicked out of Hopkins family for the last time. She knew it was her
aunt's request, but it was still awkward to meet him.
She looked at the both familiar and new Hopkins family in front of her and felt a little uncomfortable.
"Junior Mrs. Hopkins, I'll take you to the nursery."
Nanny Faang was so excited that she almost dragged her to the nursery.
Christina was slightly stunned when she heard the expression of the "Baby room." She did not refuse.
Instead, she just followed Nanny Faang, as if in a dream.
Behind her, Patrick silently watched her reaction. Seeing her follow Nanny Faang upstairs, he
inexplicably relaxed.
Forcing her to have no chance to refuse...
He looked at her with eyes complicated. It was the way he always treated her.
He knew that it was shameless to treat her in such way, but what else could he do?
Patrick did not go to the nursery. Instead, he went back to the master bedroom in Eastern Garden, took
off his coat, took out the pocket watch from his pocket and held it in his palm. He fixed his eyes on the
pocket watch. It has been so many years...
He had been secretly forcing her from the beginning when he met her. Suddenly, he felt tired both
physically and mentally.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
At least she was back.
Patrick sat in the master bedroom for 20 minutes. In fact, he rushed back to the country without any
urgent business. Finally, he returned home and sat quietly looking around his bedroom. However, he
began to feel a little impatient. He looked at the bedroom door from time to time. No one knocked on
the door 50 minutes later.
He got up abruptly and strode towards the nursery in a hurry.
In the nursery, Christina did not leave. She was here.
He was not good at expressing his emotions. He didn't want her to feel oppressed as soon as she
came back. Maybe she was uncomfortable now.
Patrick didn't want to go into the nursery. He didn't know what to talk to her about. Everything would be
fine as long as she was still in Hopkins family. He turned around and slowed down to go to the study.
However, Christina acted in the strange way. He looked sideways for a moment.
Christina stood by the baby bed. She bent down and carefully reached out to touch the sleeping twins.
Then she seemed to be shocked in profile. She quickly withdrew her hand, lifted her coat, stared at her
flat belly, and was in a daze.
"You gave birth to them." Patrick whispered into the room in a low and helpless voice.
Christina turned around in a daze. She looked into his eyes and was stunned for a moment.
She quickly pulled off her coat to cover the belly and muttered awkwardly, "Am I dreaming... How did I
give birth to two babies?" She raised her eyebrows in confusion.
The two babies were already half a year old. It was unbelievable to think about it.
Patrick looked at her and suddenly broke out laughing, sweeping away the depression that had
accumulated in his heart.
