Chapter 24: Cancel the Wedding
Chapter 24: Cancel the Wedding
"They are as like as two peas."
The people behind were surprised as they looked at Christina and Cecilia, who suddenly appeared.
"Christina, do you have a twin sister?"
Even Charles approached her and asked curiously.
Christina ignored him but just glanced at Patrick.
She heard others’ exclamations.
Suddenly, she felt a loss.
She was just like a poor imitation.
Because the man and woman who had finally reunited were hugging each other affectionately.
She never knew that aman as cold as Patrick could stare at a woman so gently.
The thin woman in Patrick's arms seemed to notice Christina's gaze, and she looked up at her with moist eyes.
Cecilia was shocked at how similar they looked with just a glance.
Christina's face was still stiff, and she didn't know what expression should she put on.
All of a sudden, the woman opposite her suddenly closed her eyes and blacked out.
"Cecilia..." Patrick shook her, looking anxious.
"Cecilia is very weak,"
Chandler ran over after another helicopter landed.
He urged Patrick, "Send Cecilia back to the hospital immediately.The doctor didn't allow her to leave, but she insisted on coming to you.’ Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
After hearing what Chandler said, Patrick quickly carried her towards the helicopter.
The attendants immediately opened the door.
Patrick carefully placed the pale and weak woman in his arms in the seat.
Christina stood behind him and stared at him steadily.
The helicopter immediately flew towards the hospital.
Christina watched the helicopter take off, her right hand slightly clenched...
She lowered her head and felt at a loss.
‘He forgot me..”
‘He carried the woman he loved the most and left in a hurry: And left me behind’
‘He just said that he was going to take me out of here with him.But he had forgotten it so quickly.’ She looked at her left palm in a daze.
She still remembered his grip.
"No wonder he treated me so well.It turns out that the so- called concern does not belong to me from the beginning.’ She thought.
She seemed to have suddenly figured something out.
She smiled bitterly.
'What am I thinking about? I've been hurt by Cory.I won't be stupid anymore”
At this time, at the window of the helicopter, Patrick suddenly poked his head out and looked at her with a deep gaze, but Christina did not know because she had lowered her head.
"Let's go."
Charles felt she was feeling a little down and deliberately patted her on the shoulder hard.
"What are you staring at? Hurry up.I don’t want to stay in this bleak place anymore.’ Charles grabbed her arm and took Christina to another helicopter.
"Hey, Charles, that woman..."
After boarding the helicopter, they head straight to A City.
Christina asked curiously in a low voice, "She seems to have a good relationship with Patrick"
Her tone was calm as if she were talking about the gossip of a stranger.
Charles sat in the passenger seat and turned back to glance at her.
"Don't you mind?" Christina was embarrassed at his gaze.
She shouted, "Why should I mind that? I just wonder how can a woman love him so deeply since he has such a bad temper."
"You don't like Patrick?"
Charles was surprised by her disdainful tone.
It was too easy for a woman to fall in love with a man like Patrick.
At least he knew that there were many socialites who were enchanted by him.
"Why should I like an unreasonable ice cube like Patrick? I like sweet guys." Christina retorted somehow excitedly.
Seeing that she really didn't care, Charles shrugged and suggested, "Christina, after you give birth to the child, you should leave.You are not a match for Cecilia.You can't compete with her."
"I didn't say I wanted to compete with her."
She whispered, "I'm just curious..."
That a cold man like Patrick also knew to love someone.
"But to be honest, I'm curious too” Charles suddenly became excited too.
"Cecilia is dead, how can she come back to life? I almost thought I had met a ghost."
"Christina, I'm telling you, Cecilia is Patrick's girlfriend when he was in the United States.They loved each other very much.Three years ago, they were about to get married and they went to Paris to take wedding photos.But something happened.Cecilia fell into the Seine.Patrick was very anxious.We got the French government to help us, but we never found her..."
When Christina heard Charles's words, she felt complicated.
It turned out that they were about to get married.
No wonder they were so intimate.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Charles nudged her and reminded her, "Christina, although you got the marriage certificates with Patrick,...Anyway, you should know what to do.Don't flatter yourself.Otherwise, you will be hurt."
Charles's advice made her lost in thought.
‘’Don't flatter yourself "I don't like an ice cube either," she retorted in a low voice.
The helicopter sent her back to the Hopkins Family.
The butler saw that she was a little pale and immediately called the private doctor to examine Christina.
She knew that she was just a tool to give birth to a child for the Hopkins Family.
"Where has Patrick gone on the first day of the spring festival?"
The next day, she accompanied Mr.Hopkins to have breakfast at 5 o'clock.
Seeing the shiny new furniture and red festive decorations in Hopkins Family, Christina realized that today was the first day of the new year.
"l asked you to go back to the Dickens Family.Why did it take you so long?"
Mr.Hopkins stared at Christina with deep eyes and immediately asked, "Did something happen?!"Christina was stuttered by the old man's sharp gaze.
"Well, I, we..."
She didn't know what she should say.
If she told him that she ignored his precious great-grandson and jumped into the river to save another man, she would be scolded.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry.I know I was wrong.I promise I won't do that in the future"
Patrick had scolded her at the hospital angrily, and she realized she had ignored her child's safety, and she solemnly said to Mr.Hopkins.
Mr.Hopkins did not understand what she was saying, but with a straight face, he said to her.
"You have no ambition at all!"
"On the first day of the new year, another woman stole your man, but you still stay here! Won't you fight for your marriage?"
Old Master snorted at her.
Christina was confused to hear that.
Grandpa didn't seem to know that she broadly jumped into the river, and all the videos on the Internet suddenly disappeared.
Although she didn't know who gave the order, Christina felt relieved.
"Old Master, are you going to start eating now, or are you waiting for Young Master?" The butler asked.
This question made Old Master's face even more sullen.
He cursed, "Isn't Cecilia already dead? How can she come back to her life? Send someone to investigate and find out what tricks she is playing!"
"Sir, Young Master has always been reluctant for us to interfere in affairs about Cecilia.”
The butler was in a dilemma.
"What is that actor good for? She is just a seductress.’’ Mr.Hopkins disliked Cecilia and said in a disdainful tone.
Then he turned to stare at Christina with a meaningful expression.
Christina was a little nervous under Old Master's gaze.
He said that Cecilia looked like a seductress.
But she looked similar to Cecilia.Did that mean Mr.Hopkins dislike her either?
"We'll have breakfast now," he urged the servants beside him to serve the food.
He ordered in an indifferent voice, "And then you go to the hospital..."
"What?"
Christina was eating the scallop porridge with a spoon and looked at him in a daze.
Why should she go to the hospital? Seeing that she was confused, Mr.Hopkins lectured her with a serious expression, "Your husband is in the hospital with another woman.Shouldn't you show them that you are his wife?"
Christina was completely dumbfounded.
‘‘What?! She had no chance to refute.
After having half a bowl of porridge, she was stuffed in the car and sent to the hospital...Christina looked out the window at the speeding scenery, feeling uneasy.
"Grandpa doesn't seem to like that Cecilia..."
She muttered to herself, looking dejected.
"Old man, if you don't like that Cecilia, you should teach her a lesson yourself.Why did you ask me to do that? How dare I yell at her.."
Christina didn't dare to challenge Patrick's lover, and she had no right to do that.
She kept thinking about how to explain to Patrick when she got to the hospital, but her mind was in a mess and she couldn't figure anything out.
All she knew was that after Patrick sent Cecilia to the hospital, he stayed with her all the time.
The car stopped smoothly, and Christina forced herself to take the elevator.
When she arrived at the door of a spacious VIP ward, some voices came from inside.
"Patrick, you'd better go back first.I'm fine.It's the first day of the new year.Your grandfather must want you to accompany him.”
It was Cecilia's voice, which was as sweet as her appearance.
The man stared at the woman on the bed silently and slowly stood up...
Seeing that he was indeed about to go back, Cecilia suddenly grabbed his arm and pretended to be anxious.
"Patrick…’’ She called out his name affectionately.
Christina was standing still outside the ward.
She thought she shouldn't overhear them.
There must be a lot of love words to exchange since they finally met again, so she turned around and stayed in the corner of the corridor waiting for Patrick to come out.
But the next second, Cecilia's slightly excited question stopped Christina.
"Patrick, I, Iheard from Chandler that you have married..."
Her voice was unabashedly sad and depressed, but her grip on Patrick tightened.
Patrick was startled when he heard her question.
"Yes," he replied lightly.
When Cecilia heard him say yes, she trembled slightly as if she could not accept the fact.
"Then, then your wedding must be very grand...’’ Cecilia forced a smile at him, but her voice was choked with suppressed pain.
She thought of the beautiful memories with him and her tears slid down.
Patrick looked at her sad face and thought for a while.
"I'll cancel the wedding!" Christina was stunned.
Suddenly, Patrick's face darkened as if he had sensed something.
He turned his head and shouted coldly, "Who's outside!"
