Chapter 684 Some Other Reason behind It
Now that Chad was awake, it was more appropriate to let him deal with these matters.
Chad didn't say anything after viewing the files.
He was the Nixon Group's chairman of the board and the head of the Nixon family, one of the four most
distinguished families in Eqitin. But in recent years, he had delegated most of the company affairs to
Kevin.
Chad's father was still alive. Though he lived in the south, to show him respect, Chad would always
consult him when it came to family affairs.
Thus, it was unlikely that someone wanted him dead for personal gains.
Seeing Chad didn't say anything, Kevin could only send more people to investigate.
But before that, he already transferred Chad to St. Peter's Hospital and arranged professional
bodyguards to protect him.
Although the Nixon family didn't breathe a word of this to anyone, since Chad had the accident in Eqitin
during the daytime, many well-informed people still heard the news.
The McCarthy family, the Kawn family, and the Bissel family also learned about the accident.
They all sent people to visit Chad. Chad could shun others, but he couldn't refuse to see these people.
Thus, he let them into his ward.
The Bissel family was not very close to the Nixon family. This time, they sent people over just out of

But other than that, they also came to see if, as others said, Chad's injury was really not serious.
After that, these people quickly went back.
But the Kawn family and the McCarthy family were not like this.
The McCarthy family was on good terms with the Nixon family because Archie and Max were very
close. As for the Kawn family, the Old Mr. Kawn's brother was married to a woman in the Nixon family.
Though the other generations of the two families were not linked by marriage again, this kind of kinship
still exists. Naturally, the Kawn family cared a lot about the Nixon family.
At this time, Wilson Kawn was sitting in the ward, looking at Chad in the hospital bed.
"Chad, I don't think this car crash is an accident. Are you sure the cause of this crash is a mystery?"
Chad shook his head with resignation.
"I've sent people to look into this. It's said that the driver had a few drinks in the morning and lost
control of the truck while driving. That's why the truck hit my car. The surveillance footage and the
investigation of the driver have shown the same thing. I really didn't find any flaws."
Wilson slightly furrowed his brows.
"Why would anyone have liquor early in the morning? Don't you find it weird?"
Chad laughed. "Who knows? Maybe it was his habit. No matter what, I survived it by fluke. I'm already
grateful for that, so I don't want to look into the cause."
Wilson sensed that Chad didn't want to talk about the accident any more, so he sensibly dropped the
subject.
He sat by the bed for a while. When it was time for dinner, a nurse came in to deliver Chad's meal.
Seeing that, Wilson bid goodbye to Chad and went out.
He then bumped into Archie and Natalia at the entrance of the hospital.
"Uncle, you're here too!"
Natalia greeted him with a smile. Wilson reached out and tickled Oliver, who was in Natalia's arms.
Then, he said with a smile, "Yeah. I came to check on Chad. You'd better wait for some time before you
go upstairs. He is having dinner. Perhaps he doesn't want any visitors now."
Natalia nodded.
Wilson then asked, "Are you busy lately? Come back to visit us more. Your aunt misses you a lot. She
talks about you guys all the time."
Natalia beamed and replied, "We're all in Eqitin. If she misses me, she can come to my house. This
way, she can help me look after the baby, too."
Wilson chuckled. "Sure. I'll tell her when I get back."
It was late, and Wilson still had somewhere else to be. Thus, he only exchanged some pleasantries
with the two before taking his leave.
Chad already finished his dinner when Natalia and Archie arrived at the ward.
Max was also there. He came to see his father after he got off work. But he came in through the back
door, so he didn't run into them.
Seeing them, Max stood up with a smiley face and called, "Archie, Natalia, you're here."
Archie nodded, handed the gifts he prepared to Max, then walked to Chad's bed with Natalia.
"Mr. Nixon, are you alright?"
Chad smiled meekly and said, "I'm fine. It's just a small accident. But my wife made a fuss over it and
drew you here to visit me. Sorry about that."
Archie chortled and said, "All that matters is your health. It's no trouble for us to come here."
Natalia echoed, "Yeah. They said the car crash was pretty severe. We were terrified when we heard
that."
"Sorry I got you all worried."
After exchanging a few words of greeting, they finally steered the conversation to the cause of the
accident.
Archie also inquired Chad about the real culprit. But Chad told him the same thing he told Wilson.
Archie didn't pursue the subject then.
Yet, before leaving, he cautioned Max that he should step up the effort of keeping Chad safe, because
this accident was obviously not just an accident.
Chad was clearly trying to gloss this matter over. But that also proved he probably already knew who
was behind this, yet he didn't want others to know.
Now he refused to talk more, no one could do anything about this. Hence, at the end of the day, the
Nixon family should guard against this kind of accident themselves.
Max nodded after he heard Archie's remark.
He had always valued Archie's opinions. Thus, he immediately told Kevin about this.
Now that Archie had noted this possibility, how could Kevin miss it?
Long before Max realized this, Kevin already stationed many bodyguards near the hospital. He would
be informed once anyone suspicious appeared.
The Nixon family was quite tense at the moment. On the other said, Kristina was perturbed.
She had told Christine everything she wanted to say. Also, she had seen Chad again.
Logically speaking, she should have no regrets by now.
But for some reason, she was still a little bit anxious.
She felt like she had forgotten something.
Thus, she just sat in her room in a trance all day long. No one could tell what she was thinking about.
Seeing her like this, Gentry was heartbroken.
One day, he could not bear it anymore, so he asked, "Kristina, don't stay here any longer. How about
we go back to Roland?"
Kristina looked at him. Her unseeing eyes were finally focused.
But she shook her head and said, "No, I won't go back."
"Why?"
Kristina also wondered why.
She had finished all the things she should have done. Yet, she still didn't want to leave this place. Why?
Suddenly, the answer came to her.
"Yes, it must be it!" she thought to herself.
Looking at Gentry, she said in a pitiful pleading tone, "Gentry, could you take me to Christine again?
Please!"
Gentry was taken aback. But his face darkened at once.
"You still want to see her?"
It seemed that he could not believe this. But he was vexed mainly because he thought Kristina should
not be such a pushover.
"How much longer will you grovel to her? She doesn't care about you at all. She hates you to the gut.
Can't you tell that? The insult she gave you last time already explained everything. Why are you going
to ask for humiliation again?"
Kristina just sat there in a daze, staring at him like a poor child who got lost.
