Christina got up early.
She quickly washed up, changed her clothes and took a taxi toa place she didn't want to go without
having breakfast.
"Is Director Ann here?" She arrived early.
It was dusk and most doctors didn't come to the hospital.
A nurse in the emergency room glanced at her.
She didn't see any obvious injury on Christina's body.She said unpleasantly, "If you want to see a
doctor, please turn left and register in a queue.You can't designate any doctor here."
"I have something urgent to talk to Steven."
She sounded unreasonable and the nurse said coldly, "Every patient is urgent.But doctors are human
and they need rest.Otherwise, how can they work?"
Seeing that Christina didn't leave, the nurse on the night shift was restless.
Her face darkened and she said, "Director Ann doesn't work in the emergency department.Look for him
in the multi-functional building at 8 oclock.."
Steven was well-known in the hospital.He was a top doctor hired from abroad.So he didn't work in the
emergency room.
Christina was stunned and immediately retorted, "I saw him here last time"
"You must mistake him.He doesn't work here."
The nurse didn't want to talk to her anymore, "We are busy and we should take care of many
patients.Please step aside."
Christina took a few steps back and sat in an iron chair by the corridor.She looked dull.She looked at
the electronic clock on the wall.
It was 5: 30 and it was early.
Wasn't she clear-headed? Or did she mistake him? She remembered that Steven bandaged her ankle
here last time...She overheard Derek and Larry's conversation yesterday.
It seemed that they got a video file from Steven's USB disk.She didn't know what the video was about.
Steven was suspicious.
Derek started to investigate him.It meant that he must do something wrong.
"Miss Dickens, haven't you recovered from your foot injury last time?" Christina heard a sweet voice
above her head.
She looked up.
An intern nurse in a light pink uniform stood in front of her.
Christina asked, "Are you talking to me?"
The nurse smiled awkwardly and said, "I've met you before.Director Ann bandaged your foot last time."
After a pause, she added, "After you left that day, the man came back to look for you."
"The man" should be Patrick.
Christina and Patrick were good-looking, so it was not surprising that the nurse recognized her.
Besides, the nurse checked her name.
"Are you Director Ann's friend? He usually doesn't come to the emergency room.He has been sent
abroad.Don't you know it?"
Steven was sent abroad.
Christina left the hospital in confusion.
The nurse didn't seem to lie.
She was not sure if Steven was sent abroad, but he was not in the hospital.
Who sent him away? She sat in a stone chair outside the hospital all the morning.She was in a daze
and felt sullen.She should ask Steven earlier.
"Do you need a job?"
She was not tired after walking back for two hours.She was thinking about it.
When she was in the square of East Mall, a tall woman handed her a leaflet.
Christina wanted to walk over, but the woman followed her, "Miss, you can be an online celebrity in our
company.It is a promising industry.You can definitely earn a lot.."
"I'm not interested in making money"
Christina directly rejected her.
The woman was curious, "What do you live for if you don't want to make money?"
Christina was touched by her question.
What did she live for? Christina stopped and looked at her, "I don't know."
She didn't know what she was insisting on for.
Christina looked around in confusion at the people coming and going into this bustling square.
Everyone was busy and worked hard for their happiness.
What about her? She smiled bitterly and helplessly.
The woman looked at her for a long time.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and handed her a business card, "My name is Lucy.Take my card.You
may need my help one day, Miss Dickens."
Lucy gave her the card and left quickly before Christina could react.
"How did she know my surname?"
Christina glanced at the ordinary card.
Lucy should not be her real name.
Who was she? She looked like the local people, but she sounded like a foreign.
She subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but she was stopped when she was about to run.
"Christina!"
Brianna called her.
Christina was surprised.
Brianna was excited as if she had not seen Christina for a long time.
Brianna rushed over and hugged Christina tightly.
"Christina, why don't you go home?" She asked directly.
Christina felt a little uncomfortable when she was hugged.
Brianna was simple.
Christina didn't know how to answer.
"Brianna, what are you doing?"
Awoman shouted gloomily on the other side of the road.
Brianna tensed up reflexively.
She turned to look at Judy on the side of the road.She immediately let go of Christina and took a big
step back.
Judy came over in high heels.
She ordered, "Don't stay with crooked women.Come here at once!"
Brianna lowered her head and timidly walked to Judy.She didn't dare to refute.
When Christina met Judy, she usually called her mother no matter how unwilling she was.But now she
couldn't do it.She looked up at her quietly.
"You are rude."
It seemed that Judy never liked her.
Christina didn't want to talk to her.She turned around and left.
Judy shouted at her back, "Sign the divorce agreement quickly."
"You are nobody.You think that you can be dignified after being pregnant.You should have the self-
awareness that you don't match Patrick.Now he wants to divorce.You'd better sign the agreement
directly, or I will force you to sign it."
Judy had always been bad to her.
Christina didn't know how she offended Judy.
Like before, Christina ignored her.
"I'm talking to you.Do you hear me? Stop!"
Seeing that Christina ignored her, Christina scolded her in a hurry.
"Mrs.Hopkins, what's wrong?" Another woman ran over.
Christina had hailed a taxi on the roadside.She heard Barbara's voice and turned around.She believed
that if Barbara were her daughter-in-law, Judy would be satisfied.
"Christina, do you know that Patrick can play the piano? His mother taught him when he was young.He
played the piano for us yesterday.The music was melodious.The members of the Hopkins family are
peaceful and everyone is happy.I hope you don't disturb him." Barbara said loudly.
It was sarcastic.
Christina kept silent expressionlessly.She got into the taxi and slammed the door shut.
The car was driven away quickly and Christina looked out the window in a daze.Patrick hated playing
the piano before.Now he forgot about her and the bad memories of his childhood.It sounded good.
