Chapter 437 Carrying You Is Faster
Jute w the first to rush to Christina’s side and ask worriedly. “Where are you hurt, Christina! I’ll send you to the hospital right away”
My hand hurts a lot Christina felt like she had a pulled hand tendon, her hand immobilized by the
excruciating pain
Azure’s a*sistant promptly told the driver to prepare the car while several housekeepers helped Christina
back to her feet
Anya stared at Christina condescendingly. It’s just a few steps. The fall didn’t even cause her much harm. What a phony’
She leisurely walked down the stairs before faking concern and inquiring. “Are you all right. Ms. Steele? Why didn’t you watch where you were going?”
Christina, who had just been helped up from the floor, had a frosty expression as she replied flatly. “Anyone who is pushed all of a sudden is surely to fall, don’t you think?”
She had no intention of brushing the matter off.
Even if she’s Ms. Gibson, I still won’t show her any mercy.
Azure inhaled sharply as she stared at her granddaughter in disbelief. “Anya, why did you push Christina?”
Anya returned her gaze with an aggrieved look, tears streaming down her cheeks. “I didn’t do it, Grandma! Why did you wrong me, Ms. Steele?”
Azure was immediately put in a difficult position. Just then, her a*sistant walked in hastily and informed her. “The car is ready. We’re taking Ms. Steele to the hospital first, right?”
“Yes.” With that, Azure and her a*sistant escorted Christina out.
Jealousy raged within Anya when she saw how much her grandmother cared about Christina.
Her aggrieved expression faded only when no one was left in the living room. She coldly wiped her tears. before following them.
When Christina arrived at the hospital, the doctor immediately had her take an X-ray. Fortunately, she did not have a fracture, but she did have a sprain, so she had to rest for some time.
The doctor applied some ointment and bandaged the injured joint before advising her, “Remember not to use force on this hand when you go back. You must rest it for more than a week before using it.”
“All right,” Christina replied.
Worry appeared on Azure’s face when she heard that, “Doctor, will this keep her from drawing?”
Christina could not afford to hurt her hand as a designer.
Anya grabbed her grandmother’s hand and brought the elderly lady to her side, saying aggrievedly. “She hurt her left hand, Grandma. How can that keep her from drawing”
Christina’s expression darkened, showing her displeasure. Even if it wasn’t the hand I used to draw that was injured, I still can’t let it go.

Only after the doctor had left did Azure ask the two younger women about the incident. Anya spoke first anxiously. “Ms. Steele missed a step by accident. I kindly went to her aid, but she accused me of pushing
het”
After saving that, she sobbed aggrievedly on Azure’s shoulder once more.
Christina let out a snort Shes so good at twisting the truth She should just become an actress,
Since the living room had no surveillance cameras, Anya could say whatever she liked.
She even smiled smugly at Christina from an angle where no one could see her.
Christina furrowed her brows slightly as her tone turned frosty. “Why should I wrong you when we don’t know one another? Do you have a persecutory delusion disorder, Ms. Gibson? Or amnesia after doing something bad?”
The air seemed to freeze around them, and just as Azure was lost in a dilemma, the emergency room door burst open.
Christina lifted her gaze and was greeted by the sight of Nathaniel walking toward her anxiously.
He pushed aside everyone around her before sitting beside her. “Where are you hurt?” he asked worriedly.
A strong sense of oppression filled the emergency room the minute his tall figure appeared. Anger was written all over his stern face, and his deep gaze was like a bottomless abyss. A single look from him could. strangle someone in that darkness.
The imposing aura he exuded made the people present hold their breaths.
Christina lifted her injured hand and complained, “I sprained it.”
The gauze emitted a sharp medicinal scent. Nathaniel appeared even angrier than when he was injured. and asked through gritted teeth, “Who did it?”
“Ms. Gibson.”
This time, Christina did not give Anya a chance to speak.
Azure was aware of Nathaniel’s identity and surprisingly felt a sense of comfort when she saw how concerned he was for Christina.
Anya was so startled by the aura of the man before her that she hid behind her grandmother as if she was the one who was hurt earlier. “I’m scared, Grandma.”
Christina found her reaction amusing. Finally feeling scared, huh? Weren’t you still acting arrogant just now?
She had never liked arguing about right or wrong, but she would not let herself be bullied either.
Azure did not wish to exacerbate the situation, so she opted to calm things down before making a decision. “This matter hasn’t been sorted out yet.”
Nathaniel raised his emotionless gaze and responded in a chilly tone. “My wife was injured at your house. It’s not something that can be resolved with just a simple sentence. How will I know if you won’t harbor the wrongdoer?”
As he spoke, his frosty gaze fell on Anya.

An elderly lady like Azure could stay calm in any situation, much less when the person facing her was a man in his thirties.
Il investigate and provide you with a reasonable explanation,” she promised calmly.
With her grandmother’s support. Anya felt more at ease. Grandma will never send me out to be punished.
“Ill accept that. You only have three days. If you don’t give a clear explanation, don’t blame me for being ruthless, Nathaniel said in a warning tone.
With that, he lifted Christina into his arms and strode out.
After they left the emergency room. Christina suddenly tugged on Nathaniel’s lapel. “I forgot to collect the medicine,” she uttered.
“I’ll get it. Wait for me here.
He placed her on a chair in the corridor before taking off his suit jacket and draping it on her thin shoulders “Ill be quick.
With that, he strode away. Christina felt a rush of warmth inside her as she stared at his retreating back.
Due to her petite figure and being covered by a jacket, it was hard to spot her if one was not paying attention.
Suddenly, a black figure walked past her. The man’s hurried footsteps caught Christina’s attention.
She was surprised when she looked up at him. Isn’t that Yerek?
She watched as he walked briskly and bumped into Anya when he arrived at the intersection of the corridor. They exchanged glances and said something to one another before entering the elevator together.
Christina was puzzled. Do they know one another? They have the same surname, so could they be relatives?
Just as she was pondering about that, Nathaniel returned with the medicine. “I can walk by myself.”
Christina stood up as soon as she said that, but the next moment, her feet had left the ground. Nathaniel lifted her into his arms, pressing their bodies so close that the warmth and sound of his heartbeat thundered in her ear.
“It’s faster if I carry you.”
After leaving the hospital entrance, Nathaniel carried Christina into the car. “Go back to Scenic Garden Manor,” he instructed.
The driver quickly started the car and drove off.
He held her hand and inquired with his brows furrowed slightly, “Does it hurt?”
He could not hide the worry in his gaze, as if his precious treasure had shattered into pieces.
