Chapter 583 He Is All Right
Christina could not comment on Bailey’s statement, as she did not know the whole story.
Feeling sorry for Bailey, she hugged her and gently comforted her, “Bailey, let’s go to the hospital to take care of
your wounds first. We’ll talk about this later, okay?”
Bailey buried her face in Christina’s arms as she sobbed.
Sebastian glanced at the two women through the rearview mirror before averting his gaze. He avoided
cavesdropping on their conversation and looking at them. He kept his eyes on the road and focused on driving to
the nearest hospital.
He chose a hospital that the Hadley family invested in and purposely parked the car in the underground parking.
Several doctors and nurses, who had received an order from the higher management, had been waiting for them.
They rushed to the car and hurried to help Bailey onto a stretcher before using the elevator to the consultation
room.
The entire floor had been cleared in advance.
Christina sat on a bench in the hallway, anxiously awaiting the results of Bailey’s checkup. Nathaniel’s bloodied
blazer was draped over her shoulders. Occasionally, she would look up at the closed doors of the consultation
room.
She had sent several messages to Nathaniel but did not receive any immediate replies.
She was deeply concerned about Nathaniel’s and Bailey’s situations.
“Mrs. Hadley, it’ll be a while before Ms. Cook’s checkup is complete. You must’ve been frightened. Why don’t I have
you registered so you can get a full-body checkup as well?” Sebastian suggested.
Christina shook her head. “I’m fine. The blood on me isn’t mine. Bailey’s emotions are unstable. I’m worried about
leaving her alone. It’s better if I wait for her to come out. Mr. Taggart, I can’t reach Nathaniel. How are things at his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtside?”
Sebastian was also clueless. After all, Nathaniel would usually reply to Christina’s messages first before he replied to
others.
“Mrs. Hadley, please don’t worry. There is no problem that Mr. Hadley cannot solve. No one would dare to assume
airs in front of him either.” Sebastian chose his words carefully to reassure Christina.
Christina was as pale as paper but still forced a grin on her lips. Suddenly remembering the woman she had
smashed with a wine bottle, she asked, “Mr. Taggart, do you happen to know who Zeila Langford is?”
Sebastian felt his head ache when he heard the familiar name. However, he could not lie to Christina about Zeila as
he feared she would misjudge the situation and stir up even bigger trouble.
“Ms. Langford is the only daughter of the richest man in Gerton. She and Julian are engaged. The Langford family
and the Forrester family are family friends. Half a year ago, they held an engagement party for Zeila and Julian, but
their wedding date is yet to be confirmed. The Forrester family prefers to lay low, so the media in the country
doesn’t know about the couple’s engagement.”
I didn’t know that Julian was engaged! But if that’s the case, why is he entangled with Bailey?
As the saying goes, it takes two to tango. Christina would not push all the responsibility onto Julian without first
learning about everything from Bailey.
She tightened her fists. But if I find out that Julian was the one who made the first move, I definitely won’t let him
off the hook!
“It must be hard to deal with the Langford family, huh?” Christina asked. “I think I might’ve caused a lot of trouble
for Nathaniel”
Christina was sure she had caused a severe injury on Zella’s back from the amount of blood the latter lost.
The Langford family only had one precious daughter. They would not let things slide even if it cost their pride and
dignity.
However, Christina did not regret doing it for Bailey.
Sebastian replied. “The Langford and Hadley families are partners. Both families are equal in terms of power too.
However, the Langford family still has to be respectful in front of Mr. Hadley. Besides, you’re not the one entirely at
fault, Mrs. Hadley. Even if the Langford family has any dissatisfactions, they will have to consider your identity
before doing anything.”
Although Sebastian’s words were pleasant to the cars, they failed to comfort Christina.
Feeling tired, she leaned back into the chair and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Just then, the doors to the outpatient clinic opened, and a nurse pushed Bailey out in a wheelchair.)
Christina immediately approached Bailey. Anxiously, she asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is she?”
The doctor answered earnestly, “All the wounds on the patient are superficial, so she’s all right. She’ll recover after
having some rest at home. However, I suggest you register her to see a psychiatrist and have them run some tests.
Her emotions are all over the place. She needs professional counseling.”
Christina nodded. “Thank you, Doctor. I’ll make sure to take her to see a psychiatrist.”
The doctor and the nurse turned to leave after that.
Bailey stared blankly ahead, ignoring Christina no matter how many times she called out to her.
Christina’s eyes reddened. “Bailey, I’ll take you home.”
A switch seemed to have flipped inside Bailey when she heard that. She wanted to get up from the wheelchair, but
Christina beat her to it and pushed her back down.
Bailey struggled desperately. Unable to hold her down any longer, Christina switched to hugging her instead.
“Bailey, look at me. I’m Christina, not Zeila. It’s over. No one is going to hurt you.”
Bailey smacked her head hard as she cried, “I don’t want to go home! I don’t want to go home! I don’t want to go
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhome!”
Sebastian quickly pulled the duo apart, afraid that Bailey would hurt Christina. He stepped in and held Bailey down.
“Mrs. Hadley, Ms. Cook’s emotions seem to be quite unstable. How about we check her into. the hospital for
observation? This hospital has a talented psychiatrist. If you agree, I’ll bring her to the ward and have the doctor
inject her with a sedative.”
Christina held back her tears as she nodded. “All right.”
She looked at Bailey and gently coaxed. “Bailey, we’re not going home. I’ll stay at the hospital with you while you
rest. After that, you can come back to Scenic Garden Manor with me. You can stay as long as you want, okay?”
Bailey stared at Christina blankly, tears streaming down her face as she nodded.
Sebastian had someone arrange a VIP ward for Bailey. She fell asleep after the doctor sedated her.
Christina continued her attempts to call Nathaniel but still could not get through.
Sebastian returned with supper after completing the hospitalization procedure. “Mrs. Hadley, you should cat
something.”
However, Christina did not have an appetite. “Is there any news from Nathaniel?”
Sebastian replied. “Mr. Hadley’s bodyguard just contacted me. He said Mr. Hadley’s phone battery is dead. so he
isn’t able to reply to your messages. Mr. Hadley and the respective heads of the Langford and Cook families are
currently discussing the issue with you and Ms. Cook. He can only come to pick you up from the hospital later. Mr.
Hadley wanted me to tell you that he’s all right and that you shouldn’t worry.”
Christina finally heaved a sigh of relief as her tense nerves gradually relaxed. She suddenly felt hungry and tired.
“I’m glad that he’s all right.” Christina sighed again before she took the risotto from Sebastian and started eating.
As Sebastian was around, Christina did not have to do anything else.
After some time, Christina got bored from staying in the hospital room, so she went for a stroll to stretch her
slightly stiffened muscles. Not far from where she was, she heard two nurses on duty gossip as though. no one was
around.
“What is going on with the world today? Their best friend was taught a lesson because she was someone’s mistress,
yet they became her accomplice without first knowing the truth.”
