My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 325

Christina was in a mall buying a computer. Before getting one, she received an urgent call.

Then she rushed to the airport, took a short flight, and went to the central hospital in C city.

She hadn't contacted anyone from the Dickens family for a long time. Last Christmas, she didn'teven call to greet them. Everyone had their own lives and had long been used to cutting off contact.But when Christina heard that her father was suddenly seriously ill, her heart sank.

"How... How is he?"

When Christina arrived at the hospital, it was already 11 pm and the inpatient facility was quiet.When she came to the ward, she saw her grandmother, Mrs. Dickens, talking to the director of thehospital.

Mrs. Dickens's eyes reddened when she saw Christina coming. She grabbed Christina's arm andasked, "Where's Patrick? Why didn't the people from Hopkins family come?"

She really didn't know what to say. Her grandmother was still so stubborn and snobbish.

"Did you really divorce him? You are so stupid! You really should have asked him for compensationwhen you lost your child. Now your father is ill, what do you think we should do? Who can we askfor help..."

Mrs. Dickens cried as she spoke. Christina usually liked to talk back to them, but it was rare for hergrandmother to be so flustered. Her grandmother and her father came from a poor family. Perhapsthis also made them more infatuated with power and money.

She used to hate their lifestyle, but now that she had gone through so many things, she felt that itwas not easy for them, especially since her grandmother was so old.

People really changed a lot when they grew up.

"Grandma, sit here. I'll talk to the doctor.”

Christina couldn't pretend to be friendly. She lowered her voice and helped Mrs. Dickens sit on achair beside her. Then she went into the doctor's office with the director to talk about it in detail."Your father was going to work this morning. Suddenly, his car hit a guardrail on the side, and thenpassers-by called the police and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. He is out ofdanger now..." The doctor gave her a rough idea of the incident.

"My dad has been in good health all the time and I've never heard of anything wrong with him.Could it be that someone did it on purpose?”

Christina questioned it at once. There were so many conspiracies happening around her that shehad to suspect it.

"Whether someone caused the car to hit the guardrail or not, we would need to wait for the trafficpolice's investigation results. But it seems that you don't know about your father's health condition.”The doctor picked up the CT scans, X-rays, and various documents and handed them to her. "Yourfather should have been in the habit of drinking, smoking, and staying up late for a long time."

"He has liver cirrhosis and his lungs are also not very well. This time, the main cause of the accidentis myocardial hemorrhage..."

Christina listened in astonishment.

She really didn't know that her father, Donald, was in such poor health.

"Then, how is he now?" She asked, trembling.

"Don't worry too much. He has to stay in the ICU for two more days and we can decide how to treathim when his condition is stable.”

Donald was a very famous entrepreneur in C city, and the hospital director and senior managementalso knew him. And this director was specially sent to perform the operation for Donald and he didnot dare to be careless.

"Mr. Dickens was fortunate. His cardiovascular suddenly ruptured and bled, but the amount ofblood loss was small. He was sent to the hospital in time, but his cardiovascular was weak, and hiswhole body was also weak..."

The doctor paused, looked at her, and reminded her, "Don't provoke him."

Christina nodded stiffly.

All the insiders knew that Donald, the richest man in C City, came from a poor family. When he wasyoung, he married the eldest lady of the Eisenhower family and became what he was now with thesupport of the Eisenhower family. Besides, Donald's personal life was also a common topic that wassecretly talked about in the circle, such as cutting off with his daughter.

Christina hated her father. He cheated on her mother and brought a mistress home, which causedher mother's death. He was ungrateful and didn't deserve her grandfather's support.

But now...

She went to the ward. On the white bed, her father was lying there with his eyes closed. His face washaggard and he was breathing slowly. The whole ward was quiet except for the sound of someequipment.

"Where are Connie and the others?"

She suddenly realized that when her father was sick, only her grandmother took care of him, but herhoney-tongued stepmother was not there.

"Christina, how's your father?"

A woman ran over from the elevator. Betty seemed to come in a hurry.

Christina was a little surprised to see her aunt rushing over in a panic.

On the other side, Mrs. Dickens saw that Betty was coming and quickly went over. "Thank godyou're here, Betty. Donald is ill. I am so scared that I don't know what to do..."

"How's your father now? What did the doctor say?" Betty was so anxious that she couldn't evenbreathe and asked Christina.

"The doctor said that the condition is stable now. We have to wait another two days..."

Christina told the truth, but Mrs. Dickens was very dissatisfied. "You just don't care about yourfather. We can't just wait for two more days.”

"Donald hasn't woken up yet, and we don't know when he will wake up. They just look down on usand think that our Dickens family has fallen. You should get the people from the Hopkins familyhere. If they are here, they won't dare to say that!"

Christina lowered her head and did not answer. Betty comforted Mrs. Dickens, "Donald will be fine.Don't worry too much. We will help with it.”

"Betty, I know you are warmhearted. Let the past be the past. We are a family anyway. Christinarespects you and she will listen to you. Tell her, the world is dark and complicated. Donald's life is atrisk. If something happens to him, I can't survive..."

Mrs. Dickens cried miserably. Finally, Betty asked the nanny to send her back home.

"Christina, don't blame your grandmother for being snobbish. She used to be poor and she hasalways been afraid of being looked down on and losing face."

After Betty asked the doctor about Donald's condition, she was relieved. The two of them satoutside the ward and chatted. And Betty seemed to be worried that Christina would leave in a fit ofanger since she had a bad relationship with the Dickens family.

Christina looked at her and said stiffly, "I know.”

The Dickens family didn't have a good relationship with her mother. Grandma used to like her aunt.Betty was really good-tempered, kind, and considerate.

It was already early in the morning and the hospital was very cold at night. Betty asked the nurse forsome cotton swabs and a glass of water. She soaked the swabs and carefully applied them onDonald's dry lips. Her movements were very gentle.

Then Betty turned to Christina and said, "Christina, it's late now. You go to a nearby hotel to rest. I'llstay here tonight.”

Donald was her father anyway. Christina felt that she should stay. "Auntie, go and rest. I'll watchover here."

"Do you know how to take care of others?" Betty chuckled.

"Where did Connie go? She disappeared at the critical moment."

Christina's face darkened. It was Connie who really should take care of her father, but Conniedisappeared.

"Your grandmother said she was busy with work... Forget it. It's important to treat your father now.”Betty was also very angry, but she took the overall situation into consideration and said calmly,"Besides, you don't have to go to the Hopkins family. If your father's condition really worsens, I willgo ask Senior Mr. Hopkins for help..."

"Auntie, are you familiar with Senior Mr. Hopkins?"

Christina blurted out. Betty was a little embarrassed because she also felt that her tone seemed totake it for granted. Then Betty changed the topic and reminded Christina, "You go replace a hotel torest.”

Christina did not ask again.

She felt that Betty was very determined to stay and take care of her father, and she was really notgood at taking care of others. She agreed to have a rest in a nearby hotel and come to accompanyher father in the morning.

Christina found a random hotel, but she couldn't sleep.

She had a bad relationship with the Dickens family. She never thought that her father, who hadalways been overbearing, would fall ill. She remembered a lot of things in the past, the two sisters ofthe Yankey family, the Hopkins family, and Patrick...
