Perhaps it was too sudden. Before Christina could react to what happened, she sank to the bottomof the pool. The fish in the pool fled in panic.

"Young, Young Madam... What's wrong with you!" This scared the maid passing by the corridor. Sheshouted for help.

"I, I'm fine."

The water in the pool was brought in by living water. The water was clear and not too fishy. And thepool was not very deep, about two meters. Christina was very good at the water, and she was justsuddenly frightened and sank. Soon, her head popped out and her hands clinged to the side of thepool, coughing and panting.

The maid's face turned pale with fear, and a group of people carefully and anxiously helped her outof the pool and onto the shore.

"Young Madam, what's wrong with you... Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon..." A largeclean towel was wrapped around her, and servants quickly comforted her.

"I'm really fine." Christina wiped her long wet hair with a towel calmly and waved at them. "There'sno need to call a doctor.”

"We go to replace Mr. Hopkins now..."

"Don’t tell him!" Christina panicked and said quickly.

The sun began to set in the afternoon, and Old Master Mr. Hopkins had already returned to SouthCourt for rest. Their young master had just left the house, and their young madam had soakedherself in the pool. They felt anxious and had no ideas.

Christina wiped the water off her face and explained in a slow voice, "Patrick is very busy. Tell himafter the doctor had come to have a check... I'm really fine. Just now, something seemed to havethrown at my back knee..."

At this point, Christina tightened her eyes and looked back nervously.

There was nothing strange, just a land of flowers planted behind the pool and stone tables andchairs for people to play chess, admire flowers and fish.

What happened just now...

She was wet all over and sat beside the cobblestone pool in a daze, not understanding whathappened for a moment.

"Young madam, why did you fall into the pool?"

The maid was relieved to see that she looked good. If something happened to her, they must bearthe responsibility.

"Did someone deliberately push...” A younger maid speculated excitedly.

Who was so bold!

People outside didn't know her importance, but employees in the Hopkinses all knew that theiryoung madam must be safe. Their Mr. Hopkins had been furious several times because of her. Whowanted to be fired?

Christina was supported by them to stand up slowly, frowning and silent for a long time... "No."

No one pushed her.

There was only one thing that hit her directly, and the speed of the object was very fast under thehuge force...

But the problem was that she took a closer look around and found nothing suspicious.

"Look around here. There was something about the size of a fist, about a kilogram in weight andhard..." She didn't know how to describe it, so she had to rely on her perception.

"Young Madam, these pebbles each is only half a kilo in weight, not as heavy as you said.”

They didn't know what Christina was looking for. There was indeed something that hit her backknee, so her right foot fell with no strength to support her. Why couldn't she replace it?

"Young Madam, the doctor is here."

Nanny Faang was mainly in charge of Christina's daily life. When she heard from the maid that shehad fallen into the pool, she was scared out of her wits. Fortunately, it didn't seem like a big dealnow, but only after she had a check could she be not worried.

Christina was carefully supported by Nanny Faang, but she was a little unwilling and turned backfrequently to stare at the pool.

It was impossible for her to slip and fall. She, Christina, is not a weak woman

Damn it.

"Young Madam, you are pregnant now, and your health is the most important thing. You don't haveto worry about anything else. We will investigate it thoroughly. No one can act rashly in our theHopkinses.” Nanny Faang understood what she was thinking and promised her.

"I'm afraid you can't replace out them.”

Christina frowned and spoke in a cold voice. She pushed Nanny Faang away with a little force,straightened her back and walked back to the pool.

If it was because she stood by the pool and fell into the pool without others pushing her... In theend, she would only admit that it was because she was careless.

But in fact something hit her...

Especially when she remembered that she had been stared by a pair of strange eyes recently, shewas getting more and more agitated and spared no efforts to figure it out.

"Young Madam, you just fell into the water. Although it's early autumn, it's easy to catch a cold. Let'sgo back to the house first..."

Nanny Faang and the others stood behind, trying to persuade her, but they failed to do so, and theydid not dare to drag her. As a result, they were helpless.

"What's going on!"

On the other side of the corridor, Old Master Mr. Hopkins hurried over with his crutch and shoutedat the pool. He didn't even button the first button of his suit.

Christina was a little afraid of him, so she stood still and looked up to him awkwardly.

Nanny Faang walked up to her affectionately, afraid that Old Master Mr. Hopkins would get angry.So she slowly said, "Young Madam, the child in your belly is the most important.”

"Mmm." She grunted reluctantly.

She did not dare to look at the old man’s dark face again. And she turned her head and followedthe maids away dully.

"That's impossible. Something hit me!"

Christina could not calm down with some doubt in her heart, so she kept muttering.

Old Master Mr. Hopkins stood at the corner of the corridor with a stern expression, watchingChristina quietly leave with the maid. Only then did his right hand holding the crutch relax a little.The old housekeeper asked the servants about the situation, then approached the old man's earand explained it in detail.

Mr. Hopkins listened without much reaction.

The autumn wind lifted the corners of his clothes gently... "There is no need to mention this toPatrick."

Then, he turned back to South Court.

The old housekeeper was slightly stunned for a moment, puzzled by his coldness. In deep thought,he turned his head to the direction where Christina had fallen into the pool.

The back garden of the Hopkins Family was magnificent and beautiful. The setting sun after noonadded a touch of beauty and calmness.

But... The tropical ornamental fish which hated coldness in the pond was in a corner. And a hardpiece of ice on the other side of the pond gradually melted...

The hard ice melted and turned into ice water as if it never existed.

Like a ghost, it disappeared without a trace.

You can replace it out in no way.

"I don't understand why I fell..."

After the doctor examined Christina carefully and made sure she was fine, she let her go back to herbedroom. Nanny Faang still thought it was strange and asked Christina again.

"We've already sent people to look around, and we've asked the servants who work nearby and theysaid they didn't replace anything..." Nanny Faang stared at her, told her to take a hot bath and put onher pajamas, and chased her back to bed to rest.

"Forget it. Maybe I'm in bad luck.”

Although Christina was unwilling, she did not hold any grudges. Anyway, she was not hurt. But nowwhen she closed her eyes, inexplicable coldness penetrated her back.

Seeing that she was resting peacefully on the bed, Nanny Faang did not disturb her. "By the way,Master Patrick is not coming back for dinner tonight..."

"He told me."

Nanny Faang smiled and knew that Patrick valued her like a jewel.

"Then I'll have dinner delivered tonight, so don't wander around... I'll go down first.” After that, sheclosed the door.

Christina was immediately blue hearing the phrase "Don't move around." Patrick's mantra was"don't run around.” Ah, she sighed.

"You said I was fooling and running around all the time, and when you come back, you should say Ifell into the pool..."

Patrick really didn't like her going out, and rarely agreed to let her attend public events. He wishedhe could settle her down in the Hopkinses without going out.

Christina was a little sleepy. The sun had already set outside the window, and it was evening

A voice disturbed her dream.

In the dark, she reached out to turn on the bedside lamp, and there was a dark shadow at the door.Who! She was so scared that her face turned pale.
