"I really appreciate your help.Mrs.Dickens and I would like to invite you to our home for a meal.I wonder
if you have time?"
Today, Chandler and Charles came to visit Donald.They were humble and polite and not arrogant at
all.So they chatted happily.
Mrs.Dickens especially liked such well-bred young men.It was really rare that Betty also liked them very
much.
"And can you ask Patrick if he has time..."
When Betty mentioned Patrick, people in the ward were all surprised, and then everyone looked at
Christina in unison.
Christina turned her head and deliberately avoided their sight, pretending not to hear.She helped her
father sit in a wheelchair and said seriously, "It's time for acupuncture"
Charles raised his eyebrows and deliberately raised his voice, "When are we going to your home for
dinner?"
"Idiot." Christina thought.
Christina turned around and glared at him.
Donald in the wheelchair suddenly said in a low voice, "Come after the New Year when I'm better"
Charles and the others behind were shocked for a moment.
Since Donald said so, they had to agree, "Okay: In fact, everyone knew that rather than inviting them to
dinner after the New Year, it seemed that they needed some time to make the decision to meet
someone special.
"Think about it yourself"
As Christina pushed the wheelchair, Donald reminded her in a low voice without looking up.Christina
knew Donald was serious.She knew that he cared about her, and understood what he meant.
Entering the elevator, Christina looked down at her father's aged face and felt a little strange, so she
decided to say something.
"Do you know when your bald head begins to grow hair?" Donald glared at the mirror in the elevator
furiously.
Because of the craniotomy, he shaved off all his hair.
Christina felt that after her father became bald, he suddenly looked much older, but he didn't seem so
fierce anymore.
"Do you want me to buy you a wig?" She asked quite seriously.
Donald became a little awkward, "No," he muttered.
It was a different but equally clumsy way of showing concern between them.
But Donald was also relieved that his daughter would never be entangled in those pretentious things.
She was not suitable for sadness.It was good for her.
The doctors in the rehabilitation department showed their optimism about Donald's physical condition.
The early active treatment of hemiplegia could greatly curb the disease.
Although he could not walk on his own, he could raise his legs and hands.
"Stay in the hospital for another 20 days and you can go home before the Spring Festival.Generally
speaking, it's more comfortable to stay at home.After being discharged, however, you still have to come
back every day for rehabilitation training..""
When Betty and the others heard what the doctor said, they became hopeful.
The Spring Festival would come in the next month, and people were busy with the New Year's goods.
Because of Donald's sudden cerebral haemorrhage, the Dickens family were not in the mood to
celebrate the New Year.
Now everything went back to peace, and they were in a good mood to prepare for the New Year.
Early this morning, Christina followed Betty to the market to buy some tonics and a lot of New Year's
goods.
Before she could put the bags away, her phone rang.
Seeing the phone call was from Charles, Christina ignore it directly because she wanted to deal with
the bags at hand first.
However, Charles didn't hang up.He even texted a strange message, "Christina, answer the phone
ASAP.I just found out something important!"
As Betty listened to her cell phone ringing incessantly, she looked over curiously, "Is there anything
important that Charles wants to tell you?"
"I don't know what he means.He's insane."
Christina replied casually and continued to deal with the dried seafood.
"I'll handle the bags later.Answer the phone.He must have something important to tell you."
Betty couldn't stand the never-ending ringing.
Christina wanted to complain, but Charles's hypocritical good image in the hearts of her elders was too
deep.No matter how much she slandered him, he was still the well-bred young man.
After all people didn't know Charles and his fellows, and they always thought too highly of them, but
they were just ordinary people too.
They could also be as insane as common people.
"Christina, let me tell you! Crystal has done something wrong to you..."
As soon as Christina answered the phone, Charles was so excited that he spoke without pause.
"Charles, you will be beaten up for slandering others."
She felt that Charles might be owe a beating.
"I'm Not slandering her! Christina, I saw it clearly this morning!"
Charles said in certainty on the other end of the phone, then lowered his voice mysteriously, as if he
was smiling wickedly, "Guess what I found?"
Christina thought for a second.
To be honest, her first thought was that Charles found something about Patrick.Then she heard
Charles laughing impatiently, "It's about Chandler.Hahaha..."
"I tell you, I saw a platinum ring in Chandler's wallet this morning, a couple's ring with the one on
Crystal's necklace, and it was engraved.With my detailed inquiry, they directly admitted that they had
already gotten married secretly.I strongly urged them to hold a wedding ceremony and let me have
fun..." Crystal had a secret marriage.
Christina was shocked for a moment.
Charles kept talking excitedly and even Betty could hear their conversation clearly.It was not until
Charles finished talking about how to make fun of their wedding that he hung up with satisfaction.
"Crystal is a good match for Chandler the gentleman" Betty sat beside her with a smile, "When and
where are they going to have their wedding ceremony?"
"I don't know.Crystal might not like to show off.Charles even said he was looking for an acquaintance to
start preparing the wedding dress and Jewellery.Who is he, a matchmaker?" Christina felt him too idle.
"Every woman wants her wedding ceremony to be perfect..."
Betty suddenly stopped, and looked at Christina
"The Hopkins family, and the history..."
She sighed in a low voice, "Sometimes things go like this, you will feel inferior when you meet an
excellent person, and you may reject and hate the person as a result of inferiority.At first, I was a bit
wrongly prejudiced against the Hopkins family:"
"I don't want to speak for them, but to err is human.The more one cares, the more paranoid one will
be."
"Think about it.A man like Patrick spends so much time and energy calculating everything.What do you
think he's doing for?"
