Female Novel
Chapter 443
In the early morning, the bar was lively and noisy. Patrick and his friends were drinking, laden with
anxiety, and did not feel sleepy at all.
Christina, who was in the Hopkins family's residence, was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, but she
was disturbed by a voice.
"You want me to go to Italy?"
She turned on all the lights in the bedroom. Only in this way could she face this strange coin at ease. It
was egging her on to go to Italy.
"Why should I listen to you?"
She lay on her side in bed, tightly wrapped in her quilt. After it instigated her to have a fight with Ms.
Hopkins this morning, she didn't seem so afraid anymore.
However, for safety's sake, there was an emergency bell at the right of the head of the bed. She could
ring it to inform the servants to save her if there was danger.
Christina occasionally pinched her thigh to see if she was dreaming. All of this was too strange.
A slightly hoarse voice echoed in the bedroom...
"I need you to go to Italy yourself. You'd better leave now. Remember not to let your relatives and
friends know. They would only drag you down."
It sounded so righteous.
Damn it!
Christina couldn't fall asleep because of it. It didn't seem to hurt even if she beat it up.
Why did it choose her?
"Do you think I want to choose you?"
It seemed to be able to see through other people's minds, and its tone was filled with disgust.
Christina got up from the bed and said angrily, "I'm warning you. You'd better behave yourself, or I'll
throw you into the kitchen oven and have you melted!"
It wasn't scared. Instead, it said, "You have nothing in common with Mary."
Christina became alert. "You know my mother?"novelbin
She had always thought that her mother was depressed because of Connie and had committed suicide
then. Only recently did they tell her that her mother was not dead, but had been sent away by her
father.
"Of course I know her. We are close." It was mocking someone or something.
Christina discovered a fact. "You seem to know the people around me very well..."
"You don't have the right to talk to me about this. Get ready, and go to Italy." It interrupted her in a cold
and commanding tone.
He then tried to bribe her. "This is a deal. When it's done, I'll fulfill one wish of yours..."
"Do you think you are the magic lamp?" Christina asked with disdain.
"I'm not going," she said, Then she thought for a moment and made a request. "Unless you tell me the
whole story. I don't want to be treated as a lunatic."
In fact, Christina now felt that she was almost crazy because she was negotiating with an ancient coin.
"You don't want to know about Derek and Peter?"
It seemed to know what she cared about and threatened her.
Sure enough, Christina got nervous. "Do you know what happened to them? Where are they now?"
"When you arrive in Italy, I will tell you." Its voice was cold and deep, and then it stopped talking.
"Hey!"
Christina hurriedly shouted into the air. "Hey, come out! I have something else to ask you..."
There was no response.
Every time it wanted to talk to her, it appeared. And Christina found that no one could hear it except
her...
Why? What was her relationship with it?
"Am I dreaming?!" She complained, but for some reason, she felt that what it said was true. Did that
mean Derek and Peter were in danger?
In the middle of the night, Christina called Larry, Derek's uncle.
She clearly remembered that during the new year, Larry had been to the Dickens family's residence for
her. At that time, Larry was looking for Derek anxiously. He seemed to have lost contact with Derek.
"Did you have any news about Derek?" Larry asked in a happy tone the minute he answered the
phone.
"No."
Christina was sure that Eric had been missing for a long time, and Larry was the only relative who
cared about him.
Larry was disappointed and then asked, "Then why are you calling me?"
"Is something wrong with Eric?" she asked.
Larry's voice turned cold. "That is none of your business." He paused and said sarcastically, "You're no
longer his friend. You're the young madam of the Hopkins family now and Patrick's wife."
Then he hung up the phone.
Larry was still angry about Christina marrying Patrick.
Christina was upset. It seemed that one would lose something as he or she was growing up. She threw
herself into the quilt and decided to think about everything when she woke up.
When the dawn came, she habitually looked at the other side of the bed. No one was there.
She was not sure whether Patrick had been out all night last night or just got up early. She had slept
too soundly last night and thought too much.
Nanny Faang and the others always asked her to take the medicine on time. She looked at the herb
soup and put on a wry smile unconsciously.
She then called Charles. "Have you found Peter?" she asked.
Charles had drunk too much at the bar last night and had just woken up. He sounded sleepy and
hoarse. "No."
At this moment, there seemed to be some noise around Charles. It sounded like his mother was urging
him to get up now...
"My mother is forcing me to have a blind date..." Then he hung up.
"Forcing you? Do you feel aggrieved now?" Mrs. Shepherd glanced at Charles with great authority.
"No, of course not," Charles said obsequiously.
He was more awake now after being yelled at by his mother.
Why did Christina suddenly care about Peter?
Today was Saturday. Patrick seemed to have something urgent to do and left early. Brianna had been
working at the company for a week. Everything went well. It seemed that she had adapted to the group
life of the company.
"Everything is going well with Brianna. She can communicate with people normally. There's no need to
worry, and they don't work today..."
"I informed them last night. They should be preparing too. We'll be there soon..."
On the sofa in the living room, Ms. Hopkins was chatting with Senior Mr. Hopkins and Judy. The elders
looked concerned.
When Christina went to the living room, Ms. Hopkins looked at her with anger and disgust as she had
always done.
Ignoring Christina, Ms. Hopkins asked, "Dad, what do you think of my plan?"
"Is it too urgent?" Senior Mr. Hopkins frowned.
"No, that young man of the Shepherd family is so outstanding. This is about Brianna's future and
happiness. Dad, we have to do it now." Ms. Hopkins was impatient by nature.
When Christina heard this, she asked, "What are you talking about?"
Although Judy didn't like Christina, she still told her, "Dad wants a connection by marriage with the
Shepherd family."
They thought someone from the Hopkins family was a perfect match for someone in the Shepherd
family. Christina was not a suitable match for Patrick.
Christina looked shocked. She didn't know whether the news was good or bad.
They were urging Brianna to marry Charles?
