Donald was still very weak when he woke up.
He was lying flat on the white hospital bed and looked more haggard and old with her wrinkled face and
the chin covered with stubble.
He seemed very tired and listless.
However, he looked at his relatives in the ward with his eyes half-open and was listening carefully to
Mrs.Dickens, his mother, sobbing and talking.
"Donald, you have to get better.Do you hear me? I'm panicking.You should look after yourself"
Donald didn't say anything and nodded weakly with his dry lips.
Christina stood quietly by the side and guiltily lowered her head with mixed feelings when she looked at
the bed.
After finishing speaking, Mrs.Dickensshe wiped away her tears and turned to shout, "Christina, come
and see your father."
As Betty, her aunt, pushed her lightly, Christina stepped forward in a daze and became helpless when
looking at the person on the bed at that moment.
Although Donald was weak and listless, he looked straight at her sharply.
It was as if he was waiting for Christina to say something.
Christina had known what had happened when Connie went to the Dickens family to make a scene.
Christina already knew everything about her mother, Mary, and her background.
Christina wanted to apologize to him personally when he woke up, but when she really met him face to
face, she couldn't say a word.
Christina hesitated for a long time before she said, "Dad."
Donald was a little disappointed and then closed his eyes because he seemed to know his daughter
would not comfort him as expected.
He bordered on crying.
Donald's hair was shaved off, and a hole was made in his skull to direct a tube to drain the blood after
craniotomy.
As he suddenly turned to the right with great difficulty, Betty immediately stepped forward to hold him
and told him not to move.
Christina was very close to him and easily noticed the tears in the corner of her father's right eye.
At this moment, Christina was shocked and had mixed feelings.
She had never seen her father cry since she could remember things.
Everyone knew that a man should not shed tears easily.
Even if a man cried, he should remain calm.
Donald was sleepy and then breathed evenly and gradually fell asleep.
Many of the things that he never mentioned for more than 20 years flashed in his mind.
He tiredly frowned as if he was trying to recall them.
Christina and the others decided to leave him alone because her father needed to rest the most.
Her aunt insisted on staying in the ward while Christina helped her grandmother out of the ward.
As soon as Mrs.Dickens left the ward, she suddenly said to Christina.
"Call your aunt Connie and tell her that Donald is awake"
When someone had an accident, the family should be more united.
Christina pursed her lips with a complicated expression.
"Christina, I know you don't have a good relationship with Connie, but don't argue with her now.
She should be told that your father has woken up.
As for whether she wants to be a member of our family in the future, it depends on her."
Mrs.Dickens thought Connie was still young and beautiful and married into the Dickens family mostly
for money.
If she wanted to leave when Donald had the accident, she could leave or stay in the Dickens family.
Christina had mixed feelings and did not reply for a moment.
When Mrs.Dickens naturally felt that Christina was against Connie and was about to persuade her
again, Christina raised her head, sighed silently, nodded, and agreed, "I see."
"I'll go find her," Christina answered.
Crystal who waited for them outside the door approached Christina and asked quickly, "Do you know
where Connie is?"
Just now, when Crystal mentioned that Connie had been arrested, Christina looked surprised.
Crysta wondered where they could find Connie now.
After Christina watched as her grandmother was helped into the elevator by the nanny, she turned
around and walked in another direction.
Crystal quickly followed her and enthusiastically suggested, "How about asking Chandler?"
Christina looked back at her strangely.
"Do you know Chandler very well?"
"Crystal, you're quite close to him.Do you have any secrets you can't tell?" Christina asked.
Just as they reached the door of the doctor's office, Charles came out and looked at Crystal with a
playful smile.
Crystal blushed and immediately denied, "No!"
Infact, Christina would leave the task to find someone for Mr.Shepherd and never thought to ask
Chandler for help.
"What's Chandler's phone number?" Christina asked.
Christina directly asked for Chandler's phone number.
"Why are you looking for Chandler?"Charles asked.
"Is something wrong? Tell me.I can definitely help." Charles felt ignored by them and was whining.
Charles added "Hey, tell me.Why don't you tell me? What Chandler can do? I can definitely help you"
Crystal stammered guiltily.
"When I asked you about Connie, you said you didn't know.Chandler received news this morning that
Connie was taken away”
"What?" Charles was shocked.
Christina thought Charles was too noisy and pushed him.
"Get out."
Christina seriously talked to Chandler on the phone.
At first, Chandler was surprised when receiving a call from Christina because they didn't contact each
other.
The two of them communicated calmly now.
"I want to know where Connie is now" Christina asked.
Finally, Christina said absent-mindedly, "Oh."
After hanging up the phone, she was silent for a long time.
When Charles and Crystal looked at each other and felt something was wrong, Christina looked up and
vaguely told them, "Drive to Patrick now"
