Perhaps it was too sudden.
Before Christina could react to what happened, she sank to the bottom of the pool.
The fish in the pool fled in panic.
"Young, Young Madam...What's wrong with you!"
This scared the maid passing by the corridor.She shouted for help.
"I, I'm fine."
The water in the pool was brought in by living water.
The water was clear and not too fishy.
And the pool was not very deep, about two meters.
Christina was very good at the water, and she was just suddenly frightened and sank.
Soon, her head popped out and her hands clinged to the side of the pool, coughing and panting.
The maid's face turned pale with fear, and a group of people carefully and anxiously helped her out of
the pool and onto the shore.
"Young Madam, what's wrong with you...Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon..."
A large clean towel was wrapped around her, and servants quickly comforted her.
"I'm really fine" Christina wiped her long wet hair with a towel calmly and waved at them.
"There's no need to call a doctor."
"We go to find Mr.Hopkins now..."
"Don't tell him!"
Christina panicked and said quickly.
The sun began to set in the afternoon, and Old Master Mr.Hopkins had already returned to South Court
for rest.
Their young master had just left the house, and their young madam had soaked herself in the pool.
They felt anxious and had no ideas.
Christina wiped the water off her face and explained in a slow voice, "Patrick is very busy.Tell him after
the doctor had come to have a check...I'm really fine.Just now, something seemed to have thrown at
my back knee..."
At this point, Christina tightened her eyes and looked back nervously.
There was nothing strange, just a land of flowers planted behind the pool and stone tables and chairs
for people to play chess, admire flowers and fish.
What happened just now...
She was wet all over and sat beside the cobblestone pool in a daze, not understanding what happened
for a moment.
"Young madam, why did you fall into the pool?"
The maid was relieved to see that she looked good.
If something happened to her, they must bear the responsibility.
"Did someone deliberately push..."
A younger maid speculated excitedly.
Who was so bold! People outside didn't know her importance, but employees in the Hopkinses all knew
that their young madam must be safe.
Their Mr.Hopkins had been furious several times because of her.
Who wanted to be fired? Christina was supported by them to stand up slowly, frowning and silent for a
long time...
"No."
No one pushed her.
There was only one thing that hit her directly, and the speed of the object was very fast under the huge
force...
But the problem was that she took a closer look around and found nothing suspicious.
"Look around here.There was something about the size of a fist, about a kilogram in weight and hard.."
She didn't know how to describe it, so she had to rely on her perception.
"Young Madam, these pebbles each is only half a kilo in weight, not as heavy as you said."
They didn't know what Christina was looking for.
There was indeed something that hit her back knee, so her right foot fell with no strength to support
her.Why couldn't she find it?
"Young Madam, the doctor is here."
Nanny Faang was mainly in charge of Christina's daily life.
When she heard from the maid that she had fallen into the pool, she was scared out of her wits.
Fortunately, it didn't seem like a big deal now, but only after she had a check could she be not worried.
Christina was carefully supported by Nanny Faang, but she was a little unwilling and turned back
frequently to stare at the pool.
It was impossible for her to slip and fall.
She, Christina, is not a weak woman.
Damnit...
"Young Madam, you are pregnant now, and your health is the most important thing.You don't have to
worry about anything else.We will investigate it thoroughly.No one can act rashly in our the Hopkinses"
Nanny Faang understood what she was thinking and promised her.
"I'm afraid you can't find out them." Christina frowned and spoke in a cold voice.
She pushed Nanny Faang away with a little force, straightened her back and walked back to the pool.
If it was because she stood by the pool and fell into the pool without others pushing her...
In the end, she would only admit that it was because she was careless.
But in fact something hit her...
Especially when she remembered that she had been stared by apair of strange eyes recently, she was
getting more and more agitated and spared no efforts to figure it out.
"Young Madam, you just fell into the water.Although it's early autumn, it's easy to catch a cold.Let's go
back to the house first..."
Nanny Faang and the others stood behind, trying to persuade her, but they failed to do so, and they did
not dare to drag her.
As a result, they were helpless.
"What's going on!"
On the other side of the corridor, Old Master Mr.Hopkins hurried over with his crutch and shouted at the
pool.
He didn't even button the first button of his suit.
Christina was a little afraid of him, so she stood still and looked up to him awkwardly.
Nanny Faang walked up to her affectionately, afraid that Old Master Mr.Hopkins would get angry.
So she slowly said, "Young Madam, the child in your belly is the most important."
"Mum" She grunted reluctantly.
She did not dare to look at the old man's dark face again.And she turned her head and followed the
maids away dully.
"That's impossible.Something hit me!"
Christina could not calm down with some doubt in her heart, so she kept muttering.
Old Master Mr.Hopkins stood at the corner of the corridor with a stern expression, watching Christina
quietly leave with the maid.
Only then did his right hand holding the crutch relax a little.
The old housekeeper asked the servants about the situation, then approached the old man's ear and
explained it in detail.
Mr.Hopkins listened without much reaction.
The autumn wind lifted the corners of his clothes gently...
"There is no need to mention this to Patrick."
Then, he turned back to South Court.The old housekeeper was slightly stunned for a moment, puzzled
by his coldness.
In deep thought, he turned his head to the direction where Christina had fallen into the pool.
The back garden of the Hopkins Family was magnificent and beautiful.
The setting sun after noon added a touch of beauty and calmness.
But...
The tropical ornamental fish which hated coldness in the pond was in a corner.
And a hard piece of ice on the other side of the pond gradually melted...
The hard ice melted and turned into ice water as if it never existed.
Like a ghost, it disappeared without a trace.
You can find it out in no way.
"I don't understand why I fell..."
After the doctor examined Christina carefully and made sure she was fine, she let her go back to her
bedroom.
Nanny Faang still thought it was strange and asked Christina again.
"We've already sent people to look around, and we've asked the servants who work nearby and they
said they didn't find anything..."
Nanny Faang stared at her, told her to take a hot bath and put on her pajamas, and chased her back to
bed to rest.
"Forget it.Maybe I'm in bad luck."
Although Christina was unwilling, she did not hold any grudges.
Anyway, she was not hurt.
But now when she closed her eyes, inexplicable coldness penetrated her back.
Seeing that she was resting peacefully on the bed, Nanny Faang did not disturb her.
"By the way, Master Patrick is not coming back for dinner tonight..""
"He told me."
Nanny Faang smiled and knew that Patrick valued her like a jewel.
"Then I'll have dinner delivered tonight, so don't wander around...I'll go down first."
After that, she closed the door.
Christina was immediately blue hearing the phrase "Don't move around."
Patrick's mantra was"don't run around."
Ah, she sighed.
"You said I was fooling and running around all the time, and when you come back, you should say I fell
into the pool..."
Patrick really didn't like her going out, and rarely agreed to let her attend public events.He wished he
could settle her down in the Hopkinses without going out.
Christina was a little sleepy.
The sun had already set outside the window, and it was evening.
A voice disturbed her dream.
In the dark, she reached out to turn on the bedside lamp, and there was a dark shadow at the door.
Who! She was so scared that her face turned pale.
