Chapter 719 A Misunderstanding

The medical team soon arrived in haste. They had to check Timothy’s condition thoroughly, so Christina had to

leave the ward and wait outside anxiously.

“Mrs. Hadley, why don’t you take a seat and try to relax for a moment?” Lyle suggested in a gentle tone after

noting Christina’s unsettled emotions. “The doctors are currently examining Mr. Gibson, and it may take some time

for the results to be available. Do you need water or food? I can get someone to buy some for you.

Christina was completely focused on Timothy’s well-being and couldn’t pay attention to anything else.

Shaking her head, she replied, “No need for that. I’m not hungry or thirsty. If you need to grab a bite, go ahead. I’ll

be fine alone.”

“If you need me, just let me know.” Lyle remained by Christina’s side silently, keeping her company until the results

came out.

The exantination went on for over an hour. Timothy remained unconscious, showing no signs of stirring despite the

doctors’ efforts to rouse him. It felt like Christina had imagined his fingers twitching earlier.

“Mrs, Hadley, please remain patient. I have confidence that Mr. Gibson will regain consciousness soon,”“” the

attending physician reassured Christina calmly.

He left with his team after giving Christina some medical advice.

Christina remained in the ward until evening.

Nathaniel left work earlier than usual, eager to spend some quality time alone with Christina at home. However,

upon arriving home, he was greeted by Raymond, who informed him that Christina had not yet returned.

A sense of unease washed over Nathaniel as his attempts to reach her went unanswered. He was on the verge of

mobilizing a search team to find her when a timely call from Lyle came in, halting his actions.

Nathaniel immediately made his way to Timothy’s ward. Christina could barely hide her surprise when he showed

up. “Nathaniel? Why are you here?”

After confirming that she was safe and sound, Nathaniel did his best to tamp down his irritation. “I didn’t see you at

home after getting off work earlier than usual, and Raymond told me you’ve been out the whole day. I was worried

and decided to come over to visit you and Dad,” he said gently.

Christina belatedly realized she had been in the hospital for way too long. She shot him an apologetic look. “I’m

sorry. It completely slipped my mind how much time had passed. I had my phone on silent mode since I was at the

hospital, and I failed to notice your calls. You must’ve been worried sick.”

“It’s fine. Just take note next time.” Nathaniel went over to her and glanced at Timothy. “I heard the doctor say Dad

should regain consciousness these few days and that he showed signs of waking today.”

“That’s right. He can understand us.” Christina eagerly shared the good news with him. “I’ve arranged a place for

him to stay in after he gets discharged from the hospital. I hope he’ll like it.”

Nathaniel assured her, “Dad will love anything you prepare for him.”

“Mm.” Tears welled up in Christina’s eyes.

Nathaniel kept Christina company in the ward for over half an hour before they left the hospital together.

The moment the door clicked shut behind them, Timothy’s fingers twitched, and he slowly opened his

eyes.

The following morning, Christina was woken up by a call from the hospital before the sun was up.

“What? My father is missing?” Christina’s body froze as if struck by lightning upon hearing the nurse’s words. It took

her a moment to collect herself, and her voice grew icy. “When did you realize he was missing?”

The nurse replied nervously, “Mr. Gibson was still in his bed when we did our midnight rounds. Around six in the

morning, the caregiver noticed that the door to his ward was open and went in to check on him. That was when we

discovered he was missing

Christina was wide awake by now. “Did you search the other areas of the hospital?”

“Yes, we did. After reviewing the surveillance footage in the security room, we discovered that Mr. Gibson left his

ward on his own accord. Given his current condition, he shouldn’t be leaving the hospital. Ms. Steele, did Mr. Gibson

happen to come to you?”

Christina was Timothy’s only relative in Jadeborough. She couldn’t help but wonder where he would go after leaving

the hospital alone.

Weighed down by worry, Christina had no answer for the nurse.

Nathaniel took charge of the situation, taking Christina’s phone and ending the call on her behalf. “Don’t worry. Dad

is an adult, and he must have a reason to leave the hospital in his weakened state. I will send my men to search for

him, and we will receive updates soon.”

Christina clutched his wrist anxiously. “Nathaniel, my dad’s health is fragile, especially with his leg condition. He’s

not familiar with Jadeborough, and I’m worried about him.”

She pulled the covers open to get out of bed when Nathaniel grabbed her arm.

-Where are you going?”

“I want to search for him.”

“It’s freezing outside. Christina, you’re pregnant. How could you head out to search for him? Have you ever thought

about me?” Nathaniel exclaimed.

He had always gone to great lengths to take care of Christina, ensuring her safety and well-being.

The thought of her jeopardizing her and the health of their unborn child infuriated him.

Christina hesitated. “Nathaniel, I’m just worried about him. He’s my only surviving relative in the world.”

Nathaniel couldn’t bring himself to be angry with her. Instead, he gently pulled her back to the bed, covering her

legs with the warm covers.

Jadeborough is my territory, and I have the means to locate someone easily. Trust me when I say that nothing will

happen to him. Be good and stay here to wait for news.”

After Nathaniel gave her his word repeatedly, Christina reluctantly agreed to stay at home to wait for any updates.

Nathaniel instructed the kitchen to deliver a nourishing breakfast to their room so he could make sure Christina ate

her breakfast.

Despite her worries, she forced herself to consume at least half of the breakfast. Soon, Sebastian came bearing

good news.

It turned out that Timothy had gone to the detention center to meet Nigel alone!

Christina and Nathaniel arrived just in time to witness Timothy emerging from the detention center.

“Why did you come here alone? I’ve been searching for you everywhere!” Christina suppressed her fear and

hurried over to Timothy. “You look pale. Why don’t I drive you back to the hospital?”

Timothy was wearing a down jacket that Sebastian had offered him earlier. He took Christina’s hand and patted the

back of it.

“I’m fine, so don’t worry. Let’s talk about this when we get back. I’m sorry for leaving without saying anything. You

and Mr. Hadley must’ve been worried,” he explained, realizing he had underestimated how important he was to

Christina.

“I’m glad you’re fine. Let’s head back to the hospital right now. If you want to go anywhere, just let me know

beforehand instead of leaving without telling anyone. I’ll arrange for someone to drive you wherever you need to

go,” Christina said, her voice quivering as she fought back tears. “If something were to happen to you, I wouldn’t be

able to face Mom in heaven.
