Chapter 655 Proposition

Christina’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word “hospital.” She asked anxiously, “What happened?”

Sensing the tense atmosphere, the secretary quickly explained, “The hospital called and mentioned Old Mrs. Gibson

has already accumulated a huge amount of medical bills. If you do not pay up, they may seriously consider

stopping the treatment immediately.”

Christina had forgotten an important point as she panicked earlier. She had left her own contact information at the

hospital.

If something did happen to Timothy, the hospital should’ve called her private number. She figured the hospital

must’ve contacted her to talk about Azure’s situation because of Anya’s doing.

“I got it. You can continue with your work.” Christina instantly relaxed. She got up and put on her coat while

instructing Lyle, “Prepare the car. I’m going to pay her a visit.”

Naturally, Lyle knew who Christina was referring to by “her.”

Due to the lack of money, Anya had arranged for Azure to stay in the most basic ward.

Even though she was the only person staying in that ward, Azure was still unsatisfied.

The first thing she did after waking up was to seek assistance from Barnaby, who was on vacation in the mountains.

Barnaby had been keeping a low profile lately. Although he couldn’t make it there in person, he expressed his

utmost sincerity by sending his personal butler, Chandler Duncan, to attend to Azure.

Chandler arranged for her to be transferred to the VIP ward and brought along two experienced caregivers to take

care of Azure, providing her with extravagant accommodation and meals.

Azure had turned her boring hospital stay into a luxury vacation.

When Christina arrived at the ward and saw the scene featuring Azure leisurely watching a television show on the

hospital bed with two caregivers serving her, she thought she had entered the wrong room.

Azure snorted in displeasure when she noticed Christina, clearly not welcoming the latter’s presence. “What are

you doing here? I’m not dead yet. You don’t need to come to collect my body.”

As that was the Gibson family’s matter, Chandler thought it would be best for him not to get involved. He made an

excuse and was about to leave the ward with the two caregivers when Azure stopped him.

“She should leave, not you. What do you think you’re doing? Come back here, all of you.”

Chandler halted in his tracks and explained patiently, “You have something to discuss with Ms. Steele, so it’s not

appropriate for us to stay.”

“I have nothing to talk to her about. If there really is something to discuss, why don’t you ask her why she had

someone run me over with a car? Clarify this matter so you can report back to Old Mr. Stone about what happened,

Azure uttered angrily.

Although Chandler had been instructed to come over and care for Azure, Barnaby didn’t tell him to do anything

else. Besides, he wasn’t Azure’s butler. He felt somewhat reluctant to comply whenever she ordered him around

condescendingly.

“I’m sorry, Old Mrs. Gibson. The police are still investigating your car accident. Without evidence, I don’t know how

to question Ms. Steele either.” Chandler evaded the responsibility. “It’s not suitable for me to get involved in these

matters, so we shall stand by outside. You can call us anytime if you need anything.”

With that, Chandler and the two caregivers exited the ward.

Azure grimaced and swept the fruit and pastries off the table.

Christina signaled for Lyle to leave. Then, she took a few steps forward and stood beside the bed, meeting Azure’s

gaze.

“It seems your injuries aren’t severe. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have the strength to throw a tantrum. If I had known

Old Mr. Stone had paid for your medical bills, I wouldn’t have come. After all, it is quite embarrassing because the

hospital called my company to urge me to settle the bill.”

“It’s not as if I can’t afford to pay the medical fees, so cut that pretense of yours. Do you think that by saying all

those things you can have a clean slate? Hmph! Dream on!”

“After you got into the car accident, the police did come to find me, but only to acquire more information. My

suspicion has already been ruled out, so your suspicion of me is insignificant.” xo.com fast update

Christina picked up an orange and slowly peeled it with a fruit knife. Azure warily stared at the fruit knife in

Christina’s hand, training her eyes on Christina’s every move.

“Of course you think you’re innocent with Nathaniel helping you clean up the mess. Still, I don’t believe you. Sooner

or later, I will find evidence and expose your nature as a hypocrite.”

“Whatever floats your boat. As I said before, I didn’t harm you. It is not worth it for me to take that risk for you

anyway. Aside from your title as Old Mrs. Gibson, nothing else about you piques my interest. The assets under your

name aren’t even as expensive as the limited-edition handbag my husband bought for

me.”

Azure had never been so disdained by others. She was so furious that she could barely catch her breath. prompting

her to hastily grab the oxygen mask next to her and take a few deep breaths.

“Do you know why Barnaby’s butler didn’t execute your orders?” Christina felt inexplicably thrilled to see Azure’s

pathetic demeanor. “This is because members of the Stone family are keeping their distance.”

Azure removed the oxygen mask. “What do you mean by that?”

“The Stones are ashamed to be involved with the Gibson family. Undeniably, Barnaby still has feelings for you, but

in the face of his family’s interest, both you and Nigel will be the ones to be abandoned.”

Since Nigel was imprisoned, Azure had been living a life of seclusion. The only person she took the initiative to

contact was Barnaby. No wonder Barnaby has been treating me with less affection and passion than before

recently!

“Christina, why are you telling me this?” Azure was skeptical about the change in Christina’s attitude as the latter

had suddenly become so concerned about her affairs.

“Of course it’s because I want to make a deal with you.” Christina placed the peeled orange in front of Azure,

having also removed all the orange pith. She curled her lips into a cold, mirthless smile. “It is your lifelong dream to

become Barnaby’s wife, right? I can help you make your wish come true.”

Azure’s pupils abruptly constricted as her usual composure and steadfastness vanished without a trace. “Christina,

will you only be satisfied after you completely ruin my reputation?”

Christina mercilessly exposed the secret Azure was still desperately trying to keep under cover. “If it weren’t for

Sheridan’s obstruction, you and Old Mr. Stone would’ve reconciled long ago. Your relationship has long ceased to be

a secret, so you don’t have to fear others bringing it up.”

Christina’s effort of arranging for her subordinates to keep an eye on the situation in Hallsbay wasn’t in vain, after

all.

She hadn’t planned on taking action against Azure in her revenge against Nigel’s family, but Azure refused to stay

out of that matter.

Since Azure insisted on meddling, Christina naturally had to fulfill her wish.

“That’s none of your business!” Azure began coughing violently. She pointed at the door. “Get out! Get the hell out

of this room!”

Christina tossed the fruit knife into the fruit basket. Her emotionless eyes gleamed without a hint of warmth as she

spoke the following words, which sounded like a great temptation to Azure. “Attaining the position as Old Mr. Stone’s

wife signifies a higher chance for Nigel to regain his freedom. Consider my proposition thoroughly and come to me

whenever you’re ready.”
