Chapter 360


    He didn''t remember exactly how Christina drove them away.


    Charles only saw that her eyes were red. She held back her tears and did not shout angrily. She stayed


    unusually calm and pushed them with both hands, trying her best to push them out, and then closed


    the door.


    She must be crying on the other side of the door.


    "You... You shouldn''t lie to her about the child."


    Charles walked out of the apartment step by step. His mind was still in a mess. After watching the


    video on the USB drive, he had a feeling that the reality had been smashed beyond recognition. For a


    moment, he did not know how to deal with it.


    Patrick remained calm and looked at Christina rationally.


    He seemed indifferent, but Charles could still feel that he was a little flustered.


    Christina said to him, "I don''t know why you approached me in the beginning. I''m not a woman who


    likes to fantasize. I never believe in love. I only believe inpanionship."


    The moment the door closed, he asked in a low voice, "Didn''t I always be by your side?"


    Then, they were locked outside the door.


    Charles looked at Patrick, who was walking in front of him. Even he felt very angry about it. No matter


    what had happened, he shouldn''t lie to her with the child.


    "I thought you were just pretending to be amnesiac. I know you very well, but I didn''t expect you to be


    so cruel to her."


    Charles said so sarcastically and turned to part ways with him.


    Patrick did not respond to his sarcasm. After Charles took a taxi and quickly left in the opposite


    direction, he stood there quietly for ten minutes. In fact, he was just standing, not thinking about


    anything at all.


    Then, he looked up at Apartment 402. The curtains were tightly closed by Christina.


    She probably hated him to the extreme.


    Patrick admitted that he was a very ruthless man, and many people were afraid of him. To win, he had


    to be ruthless.


    Especially this time, he couldn''t afford to lose.


    His face was as cold as ice. He took out his phone and sent a message.


    "If you want to see your child, go back to the Hopkins family."


    After checking the unread message on her phone, Christina gritted her teeth and became so furious


    that she wanted to smash the phone.


    After taking a few deep breaths, she finally chose to remain calm.


    She looked at the message. There were only a few words, cold and cruel.


    Her life seemed to bepletely under his control. His words were orders. She really hated the feeling


    of being his puppet. She leaned back against the door in mixed feelings. She raised her head and tried


    to keep the tears in her eyes from falling.


    She didn''t know how long she had been sitting on the floor. She didn''t cry. She could hold it back.


    It was not until her aunt Betty called her that the ringing made her regain her senses. "Christina, are


    you back in the apartment?"


    Christina had told Betty before that she would call her when she arrived in A City, but she totally forgot


    about it.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Is anything wrong?" Betty asked nervously in a gentle voice.


    Christina was a little slow, and she answered subconsciously, "Everything was fine. I just had a


    headache from the cold wind."


    Betty was as careful as ever and reminded her, "Drink some warm water, order some hot porridge, take


    some medicine, and go to bed early."


    "OK."


    After a short conversation, Christina stood up and did as her aunt said. She had some food, took some


    medicine, and went to bed early.


    However, she had nightmares all night.


    In her dreams, she was forced on the operating table by a group of doctors and nurses in white. They


    cut her hard with sharp scalpels. She was in pain and kept struggling.


    "Don''t hurt my child, please! Please!" she screamed in panic.


    Suddenly, she woke up with tears in her eyes.


    What happenedst time made her suffer a lot mentally. She tried to forget about it, but it hurt so


    deeply that her body remembered the pain clearly.


    She was in a daze. She turned on the lights to light up the whole bedroom.


    She leaned against the bed and didn''t sleep at all.


    It was not until dawn that she felt sleepy. Shey on the bed and slept for a while. At 9 am, she was


    woken up by a phone call.


    She didn''t sleep soundly, so when her phone rang, she woke up vigntly in an instant.


    At first, she didn''t want to answer any call, but she saw that it was from herndlord.


    She went back to A City to ask thendlord to terminate their lease. Now she just wanted to leave here


    quickly. She didn''t want to face it.


    Before she could say anything about the lease, thendlord told her, "The house has been sold."


    "What?"


    She didn''t understand.


    "Our lease has not expired, has it? Since you have sold the house, what should I do now? I want to


    terminate our lease directly now, but should I find the newndlord?"


    She didn''t sleep well all night and was in a bad mood. When she heard about it, she became even


    angrier.


    "Miss Dickens, don''t get angry. I did sign a contract with someone else to sell the apartment you''re


    living in. It just so happens that you''re moving out, so it''s fine for all of us. I''ll return your deposit now.


    We''re even, and I''m not taking advantage of you."


    She was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "What''s the name of the one that bought the

    apartment?"


    The stingyndlord''s apartment was sold at a good price, so he was in a good mood. "I can''t tell you


    his full name since it is private information. But I can tell you that Mr. Hopkins said that he wasn''t in a


    hurry to move in. But you''d better hurry up and move out."


    She was so angry that she hung up the phone directly.
