Chapter 472


    As a woman, if she suddenly heard the news that she was pregnant, she would first feel frightened and


    disbelieve it. Then she would slowly ept the reality and calm down. Then she would decide how to


    deal with it.


    "Crystal, the remaining 9 pregnancy test kits have been used. They all show two red bars. Please


    ept the reality."


    Christina saw that Crystal seemed to be frightened by the sudden news. Crystal put her right hand on


    her abdomen and sat nearby in a daze. She fell silent.


    "Are you not happy about getting pregnant?" Christina sat beside her, "Shall I apany you to the


    hospital to make a B-scan ultrasonography now?"


    "No, no." Crystal came back to her senses and quickly refused.


    "I just think ites a little too suddenly."


    As a person who had delivered children, Christina advised, "This is normal. After giving birth to the


    child, when you hold the baby, you will start to feel the wonderfulness of life. It''s really incredible that a


    living little creature cane out of your belly."


    Crystal smiled gently, "Little baby is very cute. It is so happy to imagine holding my own baby."


    In an instant, Crystal felt that her life was fulfilled and filled with happiness.


    "But," she turned to Christina, "Can you help me keep it a secret for a while? I don''t want Chandler to


    know it for the time being."


    Christina was a doer. She was holding her cell phone and preparing to take photos of the two red bars


    shown by pregnancy test sticks. She wanted to share these pictures on Instagram, so as to share the


    happy event with Charles and the others.


    "Why?" Christina put away her phone, "Are you afraid that this would be a misunderstanding and that


    Chandler will be disappointed?"


    "No." Crystal felt somehow bitter.


    As Crystal spoke, she lowered her head, "I am afraid that he wouldn''t be prepared. I am afraid that he


    will say he wants to abort the child..."


    Christina pped the table angrily, "Chandler wants to go to hell, doesn''t he?"


    "We''ve discussed it before. Geoffrey is still young. We are afraid that giving birth to another baby will


    affect his mind..."


    "Geoffrey is in primary school now. He''s very smart and knows everything. You don''t have to worry


    about children fighting for the family''s love at all. If you tell Geoffrey properly, he will ept it slowly.


    The Stephenson family is too protective of Geoffrey."


    Crystal smiled bitterly. She thought so too. Geoffrey was so smart that he probably wouldn''tpete


    with the baby for the love. But Chandler and the others insisted on it because they were afraid of


    breaking Geoffrey''s fragile heart.


    Her hand gently stroked her abdomen, where a little baby was nurtured. It was her own child.


    "After I go to the hospital for a B-scan ultrasonography and I''m really sure I''m pregnant, I''ll find a


    chance to tell them." Crystal was surprised and also happy about the sudden pregnancy, and she


    believed that Chandler and the others would ept it dly.

    Since Crystal said so, Christina then did not want to interfere with matters in the Stephenson family.


    While sending Crystal away, Christina reminded her, "Remember to tell me if anything happens. Don''t


    just give in to others foolishly. If people in the Stephenson family mistreat you, you must tell me."


    Crystal smiled, "Ok."


    They waved hands at each other. After that, she drove away carefully.


    Crystal didn''t want anyone to know about her pregnancy for the time being. Christina quickly put all the


    pregnancy test sticks she had used into a ck bag and tied a few dead knots. She personally threw


    the bag into the garbage disposal box downstairs.


    In the afternoon, Nanny Faang told her that Patrick would return from his business trip and would be


    able to rush back to the Hopkins family to have dinner with her tonight.


    Hearing this, Christina was very happy. A short period of separation between a newlywed couple would


    enhance their rtionship more. Recently, she had no misunderstanding with Patrick. She also wanted


    to seriously discuss the issue of a second child with him.


    On the path from Landy to the Main Residence for dinner, Nancy ran towards her in a panic  "Junior,


    Junior Mrs. Hopkins!"


    Christina turned around and saw that she was panting, "What''s wrong?"


    Nancy stopped running, put her hands on her waist, and took a deep breath. She spoke intermittently,


    "I, I''ve found something new. You want me to pay attention to Miss Brianna''s situation..."


    "What''s the matter?" Christina had not taken Brianna seriously recently.


    "I don''t know either. I saw Miss Brianna act weirdly and she was looking for something in the trash


    can..."


    "Why did she look for the trash can? What did she want?"


    "It seems to be a ck stic bag. I didn''t dare to go forward and see it clearly." Nancy looked a little


    strange. She ignored her identity of being a servant and stood on tiptoe and whispered in Christina''s


    ear, "I hid behind the rockery, but I clearly saw Miss Brianna''s expression at that time was very... very


    stiff and scary..."


    "What''s so scary?" Christina frowned as she listened.


    Just as Christina asked and before Nancy could reply, Nancy screamed suddenly. "Step back!"


    Patrick''s face darkened. He grabbed maid Nancy''s arm and pushed her away as if he was suppressing


    a great deal of anger.


    "Why did you push her for no reason!"


    Once Christina saw clearly that it was Patrick who did it, she immediately defended Nancy angrily.


    Patrick turned around and gave Nancy a cold look. He tried his best to control himself and repeated,


    "Leave now!"


    Nancy was a little flustered and looked at Christina. It was obvious that the reason why Patrick


    suddenly came here was that he wanted to talk to Christina about something private. Nancy then


    nodded and immediately left.


    "What''s wrong with you?" Christina didn''t understand why he scolded maid Nancy for no reason.


    This ce was surrounded by a quietwn, a crisscrossed path, stone tables, and stone chairs for a


    short rest. The flowers were blossoming. It was at dusk, severalmpposts were also lit up, giving off


    faint yellow light. Right now only Christina and Patrick were standing here face to face.


    Patrick was consumed withplicated emotions, which could be identified from his eyes. His sharp


    eyes seemed to be trying to see through her whole body.


    "What''s going on?" He threw a pregnancy test stick onto the stone table next to him. There were two


    red bars indicated on the stick.


    Patrick''s voice was low, but it sounded like he was going to erupt his anger next.


    Christina''s eyes dwelled on it and she shivered. She had never seen him so angry.


    It was just a pregnancy test stick that showed a positive result.


    "What are you trying to say? Two red bars on the pregnancy test stick mean pregnancy. Even so, must


    you act with such rage?"


    Christina disliked his cold and stern eyes. He was often so cold and distant to outsiders, but he rarely


    behaved like this at home.


    Hearing her say this, Patrick''s expression became even gloomier. His right hand clenched into a fist as


    if he was trying his best to suppress his emotion.


    Suddenly, Patrick looked indifferent. He reached out and grabbed her arm. With great force, he


    dragged her away...


    "What are you doing?"


    "Let go of me!"


    "Patrick, let go, let go of me. It hurts when you are grabbing my hand..."


    Christina was forcefully dragged by him and she pushed him all the way. She scolded him angrily, but


    he did not react. The servants who passed by looked at them, but they did not dare to say anything


    more.


    Patrick looked very displeased. He opened the door of the car and did not allow her to refuse at all. He


    directly pushed her into the passenger seat and mmed the door.


    The car drove into the city district. The speed of the car was quite fast, and the car soon passed the


    cars ahead. Christina looked at him, who looked angry and did not say anything. Then she looked out


    the window and saw that the traffic police had already honked to catch them.


    "Don''t drive so fast. It''s dangerous."


    "Where are you taking me?" Christina was really angry and did not know why he behaved like this.


    "Christina, there is a bottom line for all my indulgence in you..." His eyes were cold and deep as he


    looked at the road traffic ahead. He was still driving very fast, "You''d better not disappoint me." Thest


    sentence was uttered very low, with his hesitation.


    Soon, the car braked and stopped in front of a hospital.


    Patrick got out of the car quickly. It seemed as if there were overwhelming and intense emotions


    umted in his mind. He couldn''t wait to quickly drag Christina to the hospital.


    "Why are you taking me to the hospital? I''m not going to the hospital!" Christina subconsciously


    retreated. She had been very resistant to the hospital she suffered postnatal sequst time.


    "Take her for a test..." Patrick did not allow her to refuse at all and ordered the doctor coldly, "A


    pregnancy test."


    The doctor at the reception told him faithfully, "But now staff working in theplex are off work. As for


    B-scan ultrasonography, you have to wait for tomorrow..."


    "What B-scan ultrasonography? I won''t do it!"


    Christina took the opportunity to break free of Patrick''s hand. She was very angry and turned to leave.


    She didn''t want to y around with him here.


    Before she could walk out of the door, she was stopped by a few security guards. Several people from


    the hospital rushed over and changed their tone when speaking to Patrick, "There are many methods


    for pregnancy testing. Which one do you need?"


    Patrick did not show any emotion. He said coldly, "All of them. Use all the methods to test her."


    "What are you doing? Don''t hold me. Let me go! Let me go!"


    Christina was held by people from the left and from the right. She was struggling like a prisoner. She


    felt humiliated and was forced to take several tests, such as drawing blood, B-scan ultrasonography,


    taking off her clothes, and being manipted by these medical staff.


    Patrick had been standing beside her and watching. He had apanied her and witnessed all the


    tests.


    Finally, the test results came out, "We are sure that your wife is not pregnant."


    It seemed that this sentence brought Patrick back to his senses in an instant. He fixed his eyes on the


    examination reports holding in his hands and read them over and over again.


    "You get furious at me because of a pregnancy test stick."


    Christina came down from the examination table. She looked embarrassed, "If you want to know


    whether I''m pregnant or not, you can ask me directly. Why did you humiliate me in this way? You don''t


    believe me, and you act inexplicably like this just because you saw it from a pregnancy test stick..."


    As she spoke, tears welled up in her angry eyes, "Patrick, I don''t understand. You. It''s really hard to get


    along with people like you!" She grabbed the examination reports on the table and threw them all on


    the floor. She turned around and left.
