Christina nodded. What happened earlier had been shocking to her, too; she had never expected Anya
to push her.
“Can you find out what’s the relationship between Yerek and Anya?” Christina asked, not at all
concerned about her injuries.
Nathaniel furrowed his brows before answering. “They’re cousins.”
No wonder they acted like they knew each other.
Christina felt as if her mind was fogged up. It was as though she had figured something out, but not at
the same time.
All of a sudden, a warm hand landed between her eyes and rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Don’t
overthink it. Rest for a while.”
Then, Christina’s shoulders were held by a pair of hands, and she was pulled closer to Nathaniel’s
chest.
On the other side, the second Yerek and Anya returned to the room, they locked the door and went
straight to the topic.
Yerek frowned and said. “Anya, you’re too rash. If they’re to settle the score, you’ll be crushed.”
“Yerek, whose side are you on? Didn’t you know that Grandma invited her to the birthday party? How
can you ask her to come on such an important day? Maybe they’re trying to reveal the fact that
Christina’s the daughter of the Gibson family,” Anya gritted out, wishing that she had crippled Christina
earlier,
The look in Yerck’s eyes darkened as disappointment seeped into his voice. “That’s a fact, and there’s
nothing we can do if Grandma wants to acknowledge her identity.”
What happened back then could not be kept under wraps forever.
Every cell in Anya hated the idea. “I don’t want Christina to join the Gibson family. The mistake of her
being brought to the wrong family should have just continued. Why does she have to come and disrupt.
our lives?”
“Don’t be mad about it anymore. Instead, we should think about how Nathaniel can be dealt with. He’s
not an easy man to get rid of,” Yerek said, changing the topic.
Anya folded her arms and scoffed. “Is there really a need to be afraid of him? Grandma will surely help
us.
Christina only had a short nap before she woke. More accurately, she woke because of the pain in her
wrist
When she thought about the abruptness of her injury, she told herself that she had to hold Anya.
accountable for the incident.
Just then, Nathaniel opened the door and came in with oatmeal. “Are you hungry? Do you want
something to eat?”
“I’ll do it myself.” After all, Christina had hurt her left wrist; it would not impede her from taking care of
herself on a daily basis.

As Nathaniel sat beside her, he lowered his head and gently scooped a spoonful of oatmeal before
lifting the spoon to her lips. “If you feel shy about me feeding you, you can do the same to me next time
Amused. Christina chuckled and parted her lips to eat it. Her stomach was empty, so just as the first
scoop of warm food entered it, she began feeling hungry.
In no time, she finished the oatmeal.
Putting down the bowl, Nathaniel then cleaned her lips with a napkin. “Have a rest, but take your meds.
before you go to sleep”
His gentle tone was unlike his usual icy voice. For the first time, Christina realized he seemed like a
good caretaker.
If he was less aggressive on other days, she might not hate him as much.
Three days went by in the blink of an eye. Christina’s injuries recovered faster than she imagined. She
had been living at Scenic Garden Manor recently, so Lucas and Camila thought that their parents finally
stopped fighting.
On the weekend, while she was having her breakfast, Christina sat in the courtyard and watched the
two children play soccer. As the breeze blew and the sun shone on them, Christina noted the way the
children’s shadows were cast on the grass.
A moment later, Camila ran over and complained, “Mommy, Lucas is being mean to me! He won’t let
me play with the ball!”
Camila was a girl, and she was slower than Lucas, so she had not been able to get the ball the entire
morning.
“That’s because you’re too slow! You better blow bubbles instead of trying to get the ball from me,”
Lucas retaliated, sweat beading on his forehead. He was still gripping tightly to his ball.
Christina reached out to wipe their foreheads with a handkerchief. Chuckling, she then said, “You’re all
sweaty. Don’t run anymore. Go back inside to have a drink instead.”
The children nodded obediently and went inside with the butler for a glass of water.
Right then, engine sounds came from the outside, and an elegant silhouette came out of the car.
Behind Azure was a visibly unhappy Anya.
Christina walked over to them, sure that they had come because of the pushing incident.
“Come on in.”
Christina then went inside and instructed the butler to bring the children up before asking the maids to
brew some tea.
Azure said, “Christina, Anya didn’t mean to push you. Please forgive her.”
As she spoke, she gave Anya a side-eye.
Anya was clearly unwilling to apologize, but her grandmother pressured her into speaking. “I didn’t
mean it the other day. Sorry”

Chapter 438 Not Forever
Christina arched a brow when she heard the insincerity in Anya’s voice.
“Are you expecting us to forgive you with just that?” As the cold voice came from a distance away, a
stern Nathaniel appeared by the stairwell.
The atmosphere turned tense.
Both Azure’s and Anya’s expressions darkened.
Looking at them frigidly. Nathaniel cenunued, “Do you think an apology will suffice after hurting my
wife’s hand?”
Forcing away the annoyance in her chest, Anya turned to Christina and uttered, “I’ve already
apologized. What else do you want?”
Christina had never seen anyone as shameless as Anya. The latter had hurt someone else, but she
was making herself sound like the victim instead.
Hence, instead of answering Anya, Christina looked at her with equal iciness.
Nathaniel then walked over to sit by Christina’s side, a silent sign of his support for her. “It’s simple.
Leave your hand here.”
The second the unhesitant words came out of Nathaniel’s mouth, Anya’s heart lurched, and she nearly
burst into frightful tears.
The man was handsome, but he was one heartless individual. She could not believe that he was
asking her to chop off her hand.
Azure’s face darkened. How dare Nathaniel speak such bold words while I’m still here?
In her fury, she smacked her hand on the table and demanded, “Mr. Hadley, have some mercy. While
it’s good for young ones to have bravery, it’s another story if they’re ignorant.”
The Gibson family was powerful; they did not need to fear the Hadley family.
Nonetheless, the glacial hint in Nathaniel’s gaze only turned even more intense.
A beat later, Azure put the invitation letter on the table and turned toward Christina before speaking in
at softer tone. “I’ll give you a proper explanation. Please come on time.”
Christina bobbed her head. “I will.”
With that, Azure stood up and turned to leave. Anya hurried after her, fearing that Nathaniel would skin.
her alive if she were a second too slow to leave.
It was only after the two were far from them did Christina pick up the invitation letter to look at it. She
wondered, Mrs. Lazuli has been insisting on my attendance at the birthday party. Is there something
important she
wants to tell me?
Meanwhile, on their way back, Anya held Azure’s hand and queried, “Grandma, you’re not thinking
about announcing Christina’s identity, right?”
Azure’s gaze darkened. She questioned, “Have you already found out that Christina’s the eldest
daughter of the Gibson family? Is that why you pushed her?”
