Nathaniel could just deal with Anya without seeking Christina’s opinion, but her opinion was something

he valued.

Nevertheless, Christina’s answer delighted him.

“I’ll give you results you’ll be contented with,” Nathaniel answered, his lips curling as a vicious look

flashed past his eyes.

For the next two days, Christina stayed in the hospital to recover. The relocation of Gibson Corporation

was left to Nathaniel, and she enjoyed the momentary freedom from her usual tasks.

Nathaniel was traveling back and forth between the hospital and Gibson Corporation. Sometimes, he

even had to work overtime to deal with Gibson Corporation’s matters. He was exhausted, but he was

gladly taking everything on.

“Christina, it’s sudden, but I need to meet a client. If I don’t come back in time, the nurse will

accompany you for the test instead. Go back to the ward once you’re done with it; don’t wander

elsewhere. I’ll come and pick you up to take you to the airport tonight,” Nathaniel said to Christina.

Christina chuckled. “Don’t worry and just focus on work. I’m not a kid. Stay safe on your way there.”

Nathaniel then made a cup of hot milk and washed some fruits for her before leaving with a lighter

heart.

After that, Christina took a nap. When the afternoon came, the nurse brought her to another room for

her test.

“Wait,” Christina suddenly said. She turned around to look at the corridor behind her, but she did not

see anyone suspicious. There were only medical staff and patients with their families around.

“Ms. Steele, is something the matter?” the nurse curiously asked her. “Did you leave something

behind?”

Christina looked away and took out her phone from her pocket. As she gave the nurse an apologetic

smile, she said, “Sorry, I thought I dropped my phone, but it was actually in my pocket all along. I’m fine

now. Let’s go back.”

The nurse then wheeled Christina into the elevator.

With a neutral look on her face, Christina watched the elevator doors close. Yet, the fear that made the

hairs on the back of her neck stand lingered.

There was no way she was just being paranoid. Ever since she came out of her ward, she sensed a

pair of eyes following her wherever she went.

It was impossible for those eyes to belong to Nathaniel’s guard, for she already had Lyle as a

bodyguard.

She had sent Lyle out to buy cake, and he would not be back so soon. Moreover, there was no need

for Lyle to watch her from the shadows.

When Christina returned to her ward, she scanned every corner and everything within her line of sight.

Finally, her gaze landed on the fruits and half–finished cup of hot milk on the coffee table.

All of a sudden, she grabbed her calf as a look of pain manifested on her face. “Ow! My calf hurts! I

think it’s cramping!”

Not daring to risk anything happening to Christina, the nurse quickly summoned the other staff. A nurse

aide hurried to the ward, and the two helped Christina onto the bed to lie down before taking turns to

massage her calf.

Christina felt immensely guilty to watch them busy over her.

Nonetheless, before she could find out who was tailing her, she could not stay in the ward alone. That

would be putting herself in danger.

She and her baby could no longer bear any more risks.

Half an hour later, Lyle returned with desserts, and Christina found an excuse to dismiss the nurse

aide.

When Lyle put the desserts on the coffee table, he froze. Then, he turned to Christina and asked, “Mrs.

Hadley, did you touch anything on the coffee table after returning to the ward?”

“No,” Christina uttered in a low voice. “Your guess is right. Someone came into the ward earlier and

tampered with the things on the table.”

There were two streaks of milk stain on the saucer. Before Christina left the ward, she had only stirred

the milk once, so it should have been only one streak, not two.

Christina was strict with her habits. Everything she used would be habitually placed back to its original

position.

Furthermore, the tip of the small knife on the fruit platter was initially facing the handle of the cabinet,

but now, it was thirty degrees away from its original angle.

It felt as if someone had invaded her private space, and that infuriated her.

Lyle then removed the items on the table and called two of his subordinates to take the coffee table

away After that, he checked the entire ward thoroughly to ensure that no spy cameras were installed

while Christina was away. Only when he found nothing did he finally stop.

Lyle also sent the tampered items to the lab, and sure enough, there was something wrong with them.

“There’s poison in the milk and on the paring knife. The one who put the poison was careful and left no

fingerprints on any of the items,” Lyle informed. “I’ve sent my men to retrieve the surveillance footage of

the corridor. There was a nurse who entered your room ten minutes after you left, and I talked to the

hospital staff about the nurse. As it turns out, she’s not an employee here.”

“I’d like to see the footage,” Christina said, putting down her glass. Lyle passed her his phone.

The second Christina saw the silhouette, she figured out who it was.

It was Anya.

Returning the phone to Lyle, Christina told him, “It’s Anya.”

Lyle furrowed his brows. “She’ll try again. Maybe she’s still hanging around near the hospital to watch

you. I’ll send people to look for her right away.”

Christina grinned icily. “It’s fine. As long as I’m still alive, she’ll be unable to hold herself back and will

jump right into the trap.”

“But it’s hard to keep you safe like this,” Lyle hesitantly replied.

Christina smiled. “Lyle, have faith in your abilities. I trust you.”

Lyle averted his gaze shyly. “Thank you for your trust, Mrs. Hadley.”

Due to the episode, Lyle remained in the ward to protect Christina until Nathaniel was done meeting his

client and came to the hospital to pick Christina up.

Before coming to the hospital, Nathaniel even took a shower and had a change of clothes in the hotel

so that the scent of alcohol and tobacco would not overwhelm Christina.

Despite his careful actions, Christina, who was sensitive during her pregnancy, still refused to come

close to Nathaniel. It made him crestfallen!

After getting on the plane, Christina slept. She did not notice Nathaniel’s low spirits.

Once they were back at Scenic Garden Manor, Nathaniel headed straight for the shower and scrubbed.

himself clean.

Christina thought that it was another episode of his mysophobia, so she did not dwell on it. Only when

Nathaniel returned to her dressed in a bathrobe and smelling like the cologne she had gifted him did

she notice something amiss about him.

After taking a sniff of Nathaniel, she asked in confusion, “Why are you using cologne at night?”

As if he was a clingy octopus, he wrapped his arms and legs around her and whined, “You wouldn’t let

me come close to you on the plane.”

Christina rubbed the tip of her nose guiltily. “That’s because the alcohol and tobacco smell on you was

too strong. I didn’t like it.”

“I know…” Nathaniel pinched her cheeks. “Now that I’ve cleaned myself up, you can’t avoid me

anymore.”

Christina felt that Nathaniel was acting a little childish that night. If not for the hint of his usual icy

demeanor seeping out of him, she would have thought that he was an imposter.

“Nathaniel, did you encounter something strange when you went to meet your client today?”
