Just as Patrick asked, the phone at the table suddenly rang...
It was a Call from the company.
Patrick answered the call and listened to the report coldly.
The people in the ward immediately quieted down.
Christina sat next to him and heard some voice indistinctly, "You should come back..."
"I'll come back tomorrow”
Finally, Patrick replied faintly.
"Did something happen?"
Christina looked at him and frowned.She was worried.
"Nothing" Patrick seldom talked about the company with her.
"Is the group affected by the car accident…” Christina was concerned and wanted to know more, but
Patrick didn't let her ask.
He said, "Go out and buy me lunch.I don't like the food in the hospital."
She froze and clenched her lips.She stood up from the bed.
"All right."
She said reluctantly and walked out.
"Patrick, can Shawn deal with the news at home..."
Christina walked to the door and heard that Barbara was discussing the company with him seriously,
"I've paid attention to it lately.I suspect that some media are manipulated in secret..."
"Chandler told me about the great public pressure.Some reports say that IP&G Group has been
turbulent for changing the head.Some reports are more ridiculous and say that you are dead.It is a
mess."
"You should appear in public..."
Charles sounded a little angry.
Click! The door was slammed by Christina angrily.
They were talking about business, and she was asked to go out indirectly.
She was a little depressed.
Why couldn't she know? Although she was unhappy, she went out of the hospital and bought takeout
for him.
Mercer Island was a famous rich area in Seattle.
There were lush mountains and lucid waters.
The environment was good.
Since Patrick asked her to go out, she sat in the chair of an open-air restaurant.
She enjoyed the view and had the cake.
But she was in the strange city alone.
Even the scenery was beautiful, she was still sad.
When was Patrick so aggrieved? He was seriously injured and unconscious now.
Was she good enough to be protected by him...
Why did Cory hit Patrick in car? It was your fault...
She suddenly remembered Jiang Meil's words.
She put down the fork.
She looked bad and was in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a thud.
The ripples were made by a small rock in the clear lake on her left.
She came to herself.
Christina stood up.
It seemed that she figured it out.
She wanted to hurry back.
It didn't matter even if Patrick asked her to go out and she had to wait outside the door.
However, when Christina came to the store to pay the bill, the waiter told her that the bill had been
paid.
Aman paid for her.
Christina was stunned for a second.
Did someone pay for her again? "How tall is he? Does he have fair skin and azure eyes...
She suddenly became nervous and grabbed the waiter by the arm to ask.
The waiter found that she was anxious, he quickly answered, "Yes, he is tall and has blue eyes..."
Christina ran out in a hurry.
She looked around at the passers-by and shouted in a hurry.
"Eric!"
"Eric, I know it's you.Come out..."
She shouted in Chinese.
The passers-by stopped and looked at her curiously.
The waiter thought something big had happened and rushed out, "Miss, do you need help?"
Christina ignored them.
She narrowed her eyes and looked around nervously.
She didn't find him.
She carefully saw the passers-by and he was not there.
"..You are so stingy.I just said that I wouldn't see you again.Why do you remember it for so long.You are
so stubborn.You are a pig!"
Christina yelled at the lake in front of her angrily.
She looked angry and guilty.
She had known him a long time ago.
Even she herself couldn't remember.
Her grandfather said that when she learned to crawl, she snatched his toy arrogantly.
They grew up together and went to the same kindergarten.
They were classmates in primary school and middle school...
But they quarreled and heleft.
Since he left that day, she had never seen him.
She regretted it later.
She wanted to find him, but she failed.
Grandpa scolded her and her aunt also scolded her.
But she was young and arrogant.
She was proud and didn't admit her mistakes.
But she secretly kept the wooden box that he gave her.
No matter where she moved to, she would take it with her.
"Eric hasn't been in contact with the Fishers these years.Will he be in trouble..."
Suddenly she remembered something bad.
He was autistic and didn't know how to get along with others.She picked up the takeout and went back
to the hospital.
At last, she didn't see him.
"Christina, are you very aggrieved to buy lunch?"
The elevator was on the floor and she happened to meet Charles.
Charles saw that she carried the takeout and looked sullen.
Christina was in a bad mood and glanced at him discontentedly, "Have you finished discussing the
important matters?"
"What? You're sulking.You're worried that Patrick didn't let you know about the company.'’ Charles
grunted angrily and grumbled at her.
"Why do you like to cause trouble? He has his own way.You just need to do your own things.And you
won't understand even if he tells you."
"I see.I really can't help you."
Christina was annoyed.
She replied in anger and passed him to go to the ward.
Seeing that she left angrily, he raised his eyebrows, "Is she really angry?"
Christina was angry, but now she didn't know what she was angry about.
The door was open and Barbara was still in the room, "Be careful when you return tomorrow..."
Patrick seemed to feel it and suddenly raised his head to look at the door.
Barbara did not look back and she was awkward.
She knew that she should leave.
She remembered something important and asked quickly.
"..ls there any news about Derek?"
Christina stood outside the door.
It seemed that they were discussing business.
She did not dare to go in and could not hear what they were talking about.
She held the takeout bag and waited outside.
"I'll leave..."
To Christina's surprise, Barbara strode out in less than two minutes and greeted her with a smile.
"Are you done talking? Do I disturb you..."
Christina asked out of courtesy.
"As long as Patrick was awake, it is fine in the company.There's one more thing...I'll ask him later"
She did not elaborate.
She looked at Christina and paused.
She said with a smile, "Patrick knows you are waiting outside.Hurry up and go in."
She smiled reluctantly.
