Chapter 674 Meeting
Nathaniel found it difficult to break free from his obligations, but having Lyle constantly by Christina’s
side rea*sured him.
“After you arrive at the hospital, remember to send me a message,” reminded Nathaniel softly. “If there’s anything, instruct Lyle to take care of it. Don’t act alone.
He didn’t think that the incident at the office building was a mere accident.
“I know. I’m not a child. I know how to take care of myself. See you tonight.”
When the two of them reached Gibson Corporation, Lyle had just driven over. Nathaniel personally saw Christina off into the car before returning to the Hadley Corporation.
“Have you found who the person is?” Christina asked Lyle in a cold voice.
The car that tailed Christina was black. However, the car that ran out of control beneath Gibson Corporation was white. The model and color of the cars didn’t match.
Hence, Christina suspected that those attempting to harm her might not be the same person.
“Apologies, Mrs. Hadley. I lost track of the person along the way,” revealed Lyle guiltily.
“It’s fine. That person will show up sooner or later. Since you have a sharper observation than me, pay more attention to your surroundings. Perhaps, you’ll discover something.” Christina didn’t expect Lyle to immediately apprehend the person. Sometimes, all that they needed was patience.
If that person was truly capable enough to harm her, the person wouldn’t remain in hiding.
Christina arrived at the hospital, where she got the latest update from the medical team regarding Timothy’s condition. After staying in the ward for half an hour, she left.
The doctor said that Timothy would soon regain consciousness, provided there were no unexpected complications.
“Lyle, secretly a*sign a few trustworthy people to stay at the hospital and protect my father.”
Since Yerek failed to harm Timothy, he might attempt it a second time.
“Understood.” Lyle left to instruct his subordinates.
Christina stood by the elevator, awaiting its arrival. When the doors opened, she looked up and met the gaze of the people inside.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” When Christina saw Sharon and Gideon appear at the hospital simultaneously, she became anxious. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Sharon and Gideon did not expect to bump into Christina at the hospital. Upon seeing her daughter, Sharon was naturally overjoyed. She eagerly took Christina’s hand and scanned her from head to toe.
“I’m fine, Christina. It seems like you’ve lost some weight,” remarked Sharon. “Your father and I… I mean, we heard that Mr. Gibson had an accident and was hospitalized, so we wanted to come and visit him.”
Sharon was worried that Christina might be unhappy, so she continued carefully, “If you don’t want us here, we won’t disturb Mr. Gibson anymore.
“I’m not unhappy. On the contrary, I’m glad you came to visit him. However, he is still in a coma. The doctor said he will wake up soon. You can come and visit him again later, okay?”
“Okay,” said Sharon with a nod as she held Christina’s hands. “Christina, it’s been a long time since we had a meal together. Do you have time today? I’ll prepare something delicious.”
“Your mom learned how to cook a few dishes recently. Recently, she keeps talking about how she wishes that you’ll visit and taste her food.” Gideon always seemed so flattering when faced with Christina
He had changed significantly. Not only was he much livelier than before, but he also looked younger.
Gideon had truly turned over a new leaf. Although he was no longer a dignified CEO, he was genuinely trying to compensate for his past mistakes.
Christina could tell that he truly wanted to reconcile with Sharon and live a peaceful life.
Not only could he keep Sharon company, but she also liked him. Hence, there was no reason for Christina to prevent her mom from chasing her happiness.
“Let me ask Nathaniel. I’m supposed to have dinner with him tonight.”
“I see. If that’s the case, we can eat another time. It’s rare that you can spend time with Nathaniel alone, so I won’t disturb you.”
“Tomorrow night, then. I’ll bring Camila and Lucas over. They miss you a lot.”
“I’ll prepare beforehand!” Sharon took the basket of fruits from Gideon’s hands and pa*sed it to Christina. “This is from us. Since we can’t give it to Mr. Gibson, you should bring it back. Otherwise, it’ll be such a
waste.”
Christina took it happily. “Thanks, Mom.”
“We’re family, so you’re welcome. We’ll go first.” Sharon and Gideon turned around and left.
Now that the timing was right, Lyle walked toward Christina. “Mrs. Hadley, I’ve made the necessary arrangements. However, there’s one thing that I should inform you immediately.”
Christina pa*sed the basket of fruits to Lyle. “What is it?”
“Anya’s the mastermind who planned the accident that you and Mr. Hadley encountered at Gibson Corporation. After she managed to escape from me, she switched to another car,” said Lyle. “The surveillance cameras near the road captured her actions.”
A grim look crossed Christina’s face. “Did you find out where she went?”
“She met Yerek underneath Gibson Corporation. I can’t find anything else afterward.”
“Continue searching. She can’t possibly disappear into thin air.” Christina strode into the elevator.
When Christina informed Nathaniel about having a meal at Sharon’s place, he did not oppose it.
Hence, they headed to the Hadley residence the next night to pick up Camila and Lucas. When the family of four arrived at Sharon’s, the quiet and empty house became lively in an instant.
Sharon filled the dining table with dishes. There were also many desserts afterward. Before they returned. Camila and Lucas were reluctant to leave, declaring that they wanted to move into Sharon’s place.
“No. Granny’s health isn’t great, so she can’t take care of you,” explained Christina patiently. “Also, we have plenty of chances to visit Granny in the future. You can still eat her delicious food.”
Blinking their eyes, Camila and Lucas conceded reluctantly, “Fine. We’ll listen to you and not create any more trouble for Granny.”
They leaned against the car window and waved goodbye to Gideon and Sharon.
Camila and Lucas still had school the next day. Since the Hadley residence was closest to their school, Nathaniel decided to send them back. He and Christina stayed there for two more days as well.
Time flew past. It was soon time for the international business conference.
Christina received the invitation half a month ago. This time, she would be attending the conference as Gibson Corporation’s representative.
According to the plan, she would be traveling with Nathaniel.
The international business conference would be held on a luxurious cruise ship, which would be out at sea for an entire day. Once it returned to the shore, it signified that the conference had ended.
The purpose of the conference was to promote collaborations between the international firms.
Nathaniel was fully responsible for Gibson Corporation’s and Hadley Corporation’s collaboration projects. Hence, Christina would merely show up as his companion, while taking the opportunity to relax.
Even though she was traumatized by cruise ships, she did not reveal it as she did not want Nathaniel to
worry.
When Christina and Nathaniel boarded the ship, a beautiful woman shoved her aggressively.
