Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 325 

Christina was in a mall buying a computer.

Before getting one, she received an urgent call.

Then she rushed to the airport, took a short flight, and went to the central hospital in C city.

She hadn't contacted anyone from the Dickens family for a long time.

Last Christmas, she didn't even call to greet them.

Everyone had their own lives and had long been used to cutting off contact.

But when Christina heard that her father was suddenly seriously ill, her heart sank.

"How...How is he?"

When Christina arrived at the hospital, it was already 11 pm and the inpatient facility was quiet.

When she came to the ward, she saw her grandmother, Mrs.Dickens, talking to the director of the hospital.

Mrs.Dickens's eyes reddened when she saw Christina coming.She grabbed Christina's arm and asked, "Where's Patrick? Why didn't the people from Hopkins family come?"

She really didn't know what to say.

Her grandmother was still so stubborn and snobbish.

"Did you really divorce him? You are so stupid! You really should have asked him for compensation when you lost your child.Now your father is ill, what do you think we should do? Who can we ask for help..." Mrs.Dickens cried as she spoke.

Christina usually liked to talk back to them, but it was rare for her grandmother to be so flustered.

Her grandmother and her father came from a poor family.

Perhaps this also made them more infatuated with power and money.

She used to hate their lifestyle, but now that she had gone through so many things, she felt that it was not easy for them, especially since her grandmother was so old.

People really changed a lot when they grew up.

"Grandma, sit here.I'll talk to the doctor." Christina couldn't pretend to be friendly.She lowered her voice and helped Mrs.Dickens sit on a chair beside her.

Then she went into the doctor's office with the director to talk about it in detail.

"Your father was going to work this morning.Suddenly, his car hit a guardrail on the side, and then passers-by called the police and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment.He is out of danger now..."

The doctor gave her a rough idea of the incident.

"My dad has been in good health all the time and I've never heard of anything wrong with him.Could it be that someone did it on purpose?"

Christina questioned it at once.

There were so many conspiracies happening around her that she had to suspect it.

"Whether someone caused the car to hit the guardrail or not, we would need to wait for the traffic police's investigation results.But it seems that you don't know about your father’s health condition."

The doctor picked up the CT scans, X-rays, and various documents and handed them to her.

"Your father should have been in the habit of drinking, smoking, and staying up late for a long time"

"He has liver cirrhosis and his lungs are also not very well.This time, the main cause of the accident is myocardial hemorrhage..."

Christina listened in astonishment.She really didn't know that her father, Donald, was in such poor health.

"Then, how is he now?" She asked, trembling.

"Don't worry too much.He has to stay in the ICU for two more days and we can decide how to treat him when his condition is stable.” Donald was a very famous entrepreneur in C city, and the hospital director and senior management also knew him.

And this director was specially sent to perform the operation for Donald and he did not dare to be careless.

"Mr.Dickens was fortunate.His cardiovascular suddenly ruptured and bled, but the amount of blood loss was small.He was sent to the hospital in time, but his cardiovascular was weak, and his whole body was also weak..."

The doctor paused, looked at her, and reminded her, "Don't provoke him: Christina nodded stiffly.

All the insiders knew that Donald, the richest man in C City, came from a poor family.

When he was young, he married the eldest lady of the Eisenhower family and became what he was now with the support of the Eisenhower family.

Besides, Donald's personal life was also a common topic that was secretly talked about in the circle, such as cutting off with his daughter.

Christina hated her father.

He cheated on her mother and brought a mistress home, which caused her mother's death.He was ungrateful and didn't deserve her grandfather's support. But now...

She went to the ward.

On the white bed, her father was lying there with his eyes closed.

His face was haggard and he was breathing slowly.

The whole ward was quiet except for the sound of some equipment.

"Where are Connie and the others?"

She suddenly realized that when her father was sick, only her grandmother took care of him, but her honey-tongued stepmother was not there.

"Christina, how's your father?"

A woman ran over from the elevator.

Betty seemed to come in a hurry.

Christina was a little surprised to see her aunt rushing over in a panic.

On the other side, Mrs.Dickens saw that Betty was coming and quickly went over. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Thank god you're here, Betty.Donald is ill.I am so scared that I don't know what to do..."

"How's your father now? What did the doctor say?"

Betty was so anxious that she couldn't even breathe and asked Christina.

"The doctor said that the condition is stable now.We have to wait another two days..."

Christina told the truth, but Mrs.Dickens was very dissatisfied.

"You just don't care about your father.We can't just wait for two more days."

"Donald hasn't woken up yet, and we don't know when he will wake up.They just look down on us and think that our Dickens family has fallen.You should get the people from the Hopkins family here.If they are here, they won't dare to say that!"

Christina lowered her head and did not answer.

Betty comforted Mrs.Dickens, "Donald will be fine.Don't worry too much.We will help with it."

"Betty, I know you are warm hearted.Let the past be the past.We are a family anyway.Christina respects you and she will listen to you.Tell her, the world is dark and complicated.Donald's life is at risk.If something happens to him, I can't survive..." Mrs.Dickens cried miserably.

Finally, Betty asked the nanny to send her back home.

"Christina, don't blame your grandmother for being snobbish.She used to be poor and she has always been afraid of being looked down on and losing face."

After Betty asked the doctor about Donald's condition, she was relieved.

The two of them sat outside the ward and chatted.

And Betty seemed to be worried that Christina would leave in a fit of anger since she had a bad relationship with the Dickens family.

Christina looked at her and said stiffly, "I know"

The Dickens family didn't have a good relationship with her mother.

Grandma used to like her aunt.

Betty was really good-tempered, kind, and considerate.

It was already early in the morning and the hospital was very cold at night.

Betty asked the nurse for some cotton swabs and a glass of water.She soaked the swabs and carefully applied them on Donald's dry lips.

Her movements were very gentle.

Then Betty turned to Christina and said, "Christina, it's late now.You go to a nearby hotel to rest.I'll stay here tonight"

Donald was her father anyway.

Christina felt that she should stay.

"Auntie, go and rest.I'll watch over here."

"Do you know how to take care of others?" Betty chuckled.

"Where did Connie go? She disappeared at the critical moment."

Christina's face darkened.

It was Connie who really should take care of her father, but Connie disappeared.

"Your grandmother said she was busy with work...Forget it.It's important to treat your father now."

Betty was also very angry, but she took the overall situation into consideration and said calmly, "Besides, you don't have to go to the Hopkins family.If your father's condition really worsens, I will go ask Senior Mr.Hopkins for help..."

"Auntie, are you familiar with Senior Mr.Hopkins?" Christina blurted out.

Betty was a little embarrassed because she also felt that her tone seemed to take it for granted.

Then Betty changed the topic and reminded Christina, "You go find a hotel to rest"

Christina did not ask again.She felt that Betty was very determined to stay and take care of her father, and she was really not good at taking care of others.She agreed to have a rest in a nearby hotel and come to accompany her father in the morning.

Christina found a random hotel, but she couldn't sleep.She had a bad relationship with the Dickens family.She never thought that her father, who had always been overbearing, would fall ill.

She remembered a lot of things in the past, the two sisters of the Yankey family, the Hopkins family, and Patrick…
