Chapter 586 Let Her Go
Bailey’s extremely unstable emotional state and tendency to overthink made reading her thoughts really difficult, so Christina didn’t dare agitate her too much.
“Julian was here, but you were asleep at the time. I didn’t tell him to stay because I figured you didn’t want to see him just yet.”
“You’re lying! Julian never came to visit me!” There was a hint of despair in Bailey’s smile. She took a deep breath and continued with certainty. “He’s trying to show me that Zeila is more important than I am!”
Christina teared up slightly and found herself at a loss for words. She didn’t know how to comfort Bailey.
Despite being in a dazed state from time to time, Bailey was actually aware of everything going on around
her.
With a bright smile on her face, she let go of Christina’s wrist and said confidently, “Christina, Julian and I
are over!”
Bailey felt as though something deep inside her broke when she said that, and the pain was so intense that it could tear her heart apart.
Even so, no one could help share that pain of hers, so Bailey would have to endure it all on her own.
The light in the corridor flickered, and a chilly breeze came in through the window.
Christina felt a shiver down her spine as she sat there and stared at Bailey, who had been venting her emotions for over an hour.
Bailey’s last sentence kept echoing in Christina’s mind, and her pained expression was practically etched into Christina’s memory.
Because Christina had a similar experience in the past with Nathaniel, she was able to understand Bailey’s feelings.
“It’s getting late, Mrs. Hadley. How about I send you home?” Sebastian suggested.
Christina stood up and stretched her aching legs to relieve some of the pain as she replied, “Have you made the arrangements for Bailey’s protection? She’s emotionally unstable right now, so I’m very worried about her safety. Her caretakers must be very alert and meticulous when looking after her.”
“Yes, you may rest a*sured that all the arrangements have been made,” Sebastian replied.
Christina tugged at her coat and made her way toward the elevator.
The elevator doors opened, and her eyes grew cold when she saw the man standing inside.
“It sure is ridiculously hard to see you, Mr. Forrester. Are you here to visit Bailey? What if your fiancée finds out and throws another tantrum?” Christina asked, making no attempt to hide her sarcasm at all.
Julian was in no position to defend himself, so he simply shot Christina a glance as he stepped out of the
elevator.
“I heard Bailey is emotionally unstable. I won’t stick around for too long,” he said with his fists clenched.
Christina let out a sarcastic chuckle as she walked up to him with her arms crossed.
“You chose to be with another woman when Bailey needed you the most. Julian. You have lost the right to care for her, let alone stay by her side.”
Julian’s expression slid into a frown, and the veins in his forehead bulged as he tried to keep his anger suppressed. “Mrs. Hadley, this is between me and Bailey. You have no right to interfere.”
Christina glared at him. “Gabrielle used to love you with her entire being, but she no longer wants to see you ever again after you abandoned her. It was her who decided that it’s over between you two, not me.”
Julian’s face was filled with disbelief when he heard that. “S-She wants to break up with me?”
No, this can’t be true! There’s no way Bailey would do that!
Julian shoved Christina aside and ran straight toward Bailey’s ward.
“Mrs. Hadley!” Sebastian reached out to catch Christina as she staggered to the side.
Christina rubbed her aching shoulder and shouted, “Stop him, Sebastian!”
Given the state Bailey is in, I can’t let them see each other!
Sebastian quickly ran after Julian and grabbed him by the shoulder. In one swift motion, he pinned Julian’s huge frame against the wall.
“Let go of me!” Julian yelled with a vicious look in his eyes.
However, Sebastian was trained in hand-to-hand combat, so he had the strength and skills to subdue opponents who were much bigger and stronger. Even Julian was unable to break free from his grip.
“Unless you want Ms. Cook to take her own life before your very eyes, I suggest you not go visit her, Mr. Forrester,” Sebastian said before letting go of Julian.
Julian stood rooted to the spot, his lips pale. “What do you mean by that?”
Ignoring the look of anguish on Julian’s face, Christina said with a disdainful snort, “I don’t know how much of what you told Bailey is true, but she was so upset that she ended up needing therapy. Even Zeila’s actions did not hurt her this much. You should just let her go, Julian. Think of it as making it up to her.”
Julian turned around and glanced at the door of Bailey’s ward. A few seconds later, he started making his way toward it. Sebastian was about to stop him, but Christina motioned for him to stay put.
I’ve already told Julian everything he needed to hear, so I trust that he understands the gravity of the situation.
Christina and Sebastian simply observed Julian as he stood outside the door.
Nathaniel arrived at the hospital right as the clock struck two.
Christina flashed him a sweet smile. “You’re back!”
Nathaniel held her hands which had turned red from the cold. “I’m sorry for being late. Dealing with the Langford family turned out to be a lot tougher than I had expected. You must be tired, right? Come on, let’s go home.”
Christina remained rooted to the spot and continued staring at Julian..
disgrace himself like that. Besides, the Langford family has agreed to prevent the two from seeing each
other.”
There was a look of surprise in Christina’s eyes when she heard that.
This was the ideal solution to the problem, and she had also anticipated this outcome herself. However, she still felt bad for Julian and Bailey’s relationship.
This is the first time Bailey has experienced so much pain in a relationship. She would probably find it hard to fall in love again in the future.
Christina let out a sigh and said, “I want to go home, Nathaniel.”
“All right. Let’s go home.” Nathaniel wrapped an arm around her shoulder and walked her to the elevator.
Christina didn’t know when Julian left the hospital that night, nor was she interested in finding out.
Surprisingly, all of the media companies practically said nothing about their relationship. It was as though the entire incident was an absurd farce that gradually got replaced by more shocking news.
Anya, however, was unable to free herself from Madison’s case. Thanks to Christina pulling the strings behind the scenes, Anya was interrogated by the police and confronted by the members of the Taggart family.
When questioned by the police, Anya insisted that the pictures and videos on the internet were fake. She claimed that it was the work of someone who wanted to defame her.
As the police had yet to obtain any new evidence on her, they released her after she paid her bail.
Anya had just gotten into a car that was parked in front of the police station when someone opened the door on the other side.
Emilia got into the car and sat right next to Anya. She said, “It’s been a while, Anya. 1 see your situation is as crappy as always.”
