My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 400

When Crystal saw Christina again, she threw herself at Christina and burst into tears.

"Christina, thank God. You're all fine. You don't know how scared I was. What if somethinghappened to you and Geoffrey? What if I couldn't replace you..."

Crystal was lucky. She was the first batch of people to be rescued. At that time, she wasunconscious. When she woke up, her mind went blank and she was so flustered that she utteredwords that do not hang together.

Chandler was so anxious that his eyes reddened. He asked her where Geoffrey was. If he was theonly one alive, what should he do? Being a sole survivor was painful.

It was horrible to see the scene of life and death in which so many people were buried alive by theavalanche as they rushed down the mountain, with the screams and chaotic footsteps of manypeople.

"Christina, you asked me to run first. I really... I felt that I was a coward. I was too selfish. I'm sorry.How could I run away alone and leave you and Geoffrey behind?"

Crystal was crying sadly. Christina could tell that Crystal might be blaming herself.

When Geoffrey, who was standing aside, saw that Aunt Zhu was crying so sadly, he was a littleawkward. He said in a low voice, "We're fine."

"Mrs. Hopkins is so awesome. She's been holding me. We're fine now."

Geoffrey held the tissue and touched her awkwardly with his little hand. His voice sounded like alittle adult. "Don't cry.”

Christina sighed. "Crystal, you cried so hard that my clothes were wet."

Crystal stopped crying and looked up at the woman and the kid in front of her with teary eyes.Christina and Geoffrey were both quite energetic now. They were the ones who had suffered butnow they were still comforting her. She felt extremely ashamed at once.

"If you hadn't run first, the three of us might have died in this avalanche together,” Christina pattedher on the head. "Crystal, good job."

Crystal sniffled. She was amused by her friendly teasing.

"I knew that you would do what you said.” Crystal took the tissue from Geoffrey and said almostsubconsciously.

At that time, Christina said that she would protect Geoffrey and let Crystal run away.

When Christina heard that she took it for granted, she was touched. Crystal had always trusted her.There was an innocent and bright smile on Geoffrey's handsome little face. "Mrs. Hopkins is thebest."

His admiring look was so vivid.

Crystal looked at him. At first, she was worried that Geoffrey was too young to go through such aterrible thing, which would cause some psychological trauma to him.

Now it seemed that the child was stronger than they had imagined.

Geoffrey announced proudly, "I'm a bigger man now."

Geoffrey stood up straight and looked at Christina. He seemed hesitating and paused. but after awhile, he seemed to muster up the courage to ask her directly.

"Mrs. Hopkins, can I play with my brothers in the future? I like them. I will take care of them and notlet others bully them.”

When Christina heard the strange word "brothers," she looked a little confused and did not knowhow to reply to him for a moment.

The "brothers" Geoffrey referred to should be the twins of the Hopkins family.

Just then, Chandler came in with some clean clothes.

He coughed and said as if he was trying to explain, "Christina, Geoffrey is very simple. He just likesthe twins in the Hopkins family. There's no other meaning.”

This must be explained clearly.

Because the children of the Hopkins family were destined to be different from ordinary people,many people were scheming to get close to the children of the Hopkins family, mostly forcommercial or family interests.

In fact, when he and Charles first came into contact with Patrick when they were young, they werealso reminded by the elders of the family to take good care of their relationships with the kid ofHopkins family. This interest-driven society was sometimes really disgusting.

The "like" in Geoffrey's words was pure like, not for the sake of profit.

Christina was slightly stunned and replied vaguely, "Okay."

She didn't think as much as Chandler, but she just did not know how to answer the question aboutthe twins in Hopkins family. It was clearly her twin sons, but she felt that she didn't know them well.The children in the Hopkins family were destined to be lonely, and there must be many restrictionson making friends since childhood.

Chandler smiled. "Senior Mr. Hopkins loves his precious great-grandchildren. It's not easy to getclose to them.”

He knew that this was an awkward topic. Even Christina could not interfere with how the twins grewup in the family. The two children were destined to bear a lot.

Sometimes an ordinary family background is so bad.

"Geoffrey, you look like a dirty little beggar. Come with me to take a hot bath and change yourclothes.” Chandler caught his son and went to the next room to take a bath.

Perhaps it was because of this avalanche, the reunion of life and death, they all learned to begrateful and cherish what they had. Even the kid seemed to grow up a lot at once.

Geoffrey held his father's hand and turned to remind Crystal, "Aunt Zhu, you have to rest more. Youshouldn't go out with a high fever.”

The little guy was in high spirits at the moment. The hotel was fully heated. He was very happy thatthere was electricity and heat here and that he could take a bath here.

He suddenly remembered something important and quickly took out a buckle with floral patternsfrom his pocket. It was the buckle that the people who claimed to be local nobles had given thembefore they were forced to go down the mountain

"Dad, this is from the one who bullied us..."

Chandler also looked a little angry. These shameless people bullied Christina and the others whenhe and Charles left. Damn it.

Fortunately, they were all safe and sound. Otherwise, they all would have to go down with them.Of course, Christina knew this buckle. Those bastards also said that they asked her to go down themountain to replace the mayor of the town to save the old man who had suffered a stroke in theirfamily. In the end, a group of people were buried alive under the avalanche.

Chandler rubbed his son's little head and said half-jokingly, "Remember to take this belt buckle andask your Uncle Hopkins to kick their asses.”

"That's right. Those people went too far. I collected this in order to teach them a lesson in thefuture.”

There was an angry look on Geoffrey's little face and his small fists were waved in the air. This littleguy was so scheming and vengeful.

They burst into laughter.

Chandler took Geoffrey to the next room to take a bath. Crystal and Christina were left in this room.Crystal looked for clean clothes in the closet and said, "I heard that the villa we're living intemporarily now is the property of the same family as the hotel we stayed at the top of themountain. It's the Ray family..."

This European-style old villa, like the castle of the last century, was spacious enough to serve as atemporary shelter for them. There were more than 30 rooms. Chandler and the others seemed tohave preferential treatment so that they could sleep in these comfortable rooms and didn't have tostay in the hall with the crowd.

Crystal found a suitable set of clean clothes and handed it to Christina. "You should also take a hotbath. There is a bathtub in the room. It will be more comfortable to take a hot bath."

"By the way, there's one thing,” Crystal hurriedly picked up her phone at the bedside and gave it toher. "Your aunt and others are worried about you. Call the Dickens family first."

Previously, without signals on the mountain, no one could contact the outside world with their cellphones. Now that they finally had a cell phone signal when they went down the mountain, they allexcitedly contacted their families to make them rest assured.

After the phone got through, there was Betty's anxious and excited voice from the other end. "Twodays ago, we saw the weather news about the snowstorm in Switzerland. Your phone couldn't getthrough, and we couldn't contact Charles and Crystal. We were very worried..."

"Two hours ago, Patrick sent someone to contact your father, and then Crystal called us personallyso that we felt a little relieved. Were you hurt? Crystal also said that you met an avalanche...”Christina held the phone, still as calm as usual. “I'm fine."

Betty listened to her voice and let out a long sigh. "Good to hear that you're safe.”

From the other end of the phone came some noisy and small sounds. It seemed to be her father,Donald. "Let her turn on the video."

"Don't you know her temper? She won't show her weak side.”

Betty sighed heavily. "Christina has always made us worry a lot since she was a child. She didn't sayanything even though she was injured.”

"The first time I took her skiing, she rolled down the mountain like a snowball. Tell her to turn on thevideo now..." Donald was very determined.

Christina listened quietly to the discussion of her family and felt a little moved.

Although there were many dark and interest-driven connections in this world, there would alwaysbe some people who loved you quietly and carefully for no reason.

Christina opened the WhatsApp video chat window as told. Donald, her father, could not help butscold her after personally confirming that she was not injured or disabled

"What a trip, with so many troubles. If the wind and snow over there stop and the airport isrestored, don't go anywhere. Go home immediately.”

"Okay."

She was also very obedient and did not talk back to her father.

"It's not Christina's fault. It's the weather." Mrs. Dickens, who was beside him, also leaned over."It's good that our Christina is safe. Thank God's blessings."

As the old lady got older, she felt that the most important thing was that all of them were safe.When Christina encountered a snowstorm abroad, the whole family couldn't sleep well. The old ladywent to church and prayed for blessings worriedly. Donald was not in the mood to go to therehabilitation training. He had been waiting for the news on the phone.

Finally, Betty said to her, "No matter what happens to you outside, if you are bullied and wronged,just go home and tell us about it..."

Christina finally hung up the phone. Crystal looked at her. "Your aunt is so nice to you."

Yes:

Betty loved her more than her biological mother and taught her a lot about dealing with people.Probably because of this, Betty's opposition to her dating the kid of the Hopkins family was alsovery authoritative.

Crystal suddenly asked, "How's Patrick's knife wound?"

"It's a minor injury,” Christina said with a calm expression.

"After a local paralysis, he received a minor operation to remove the knife. It was nothing."

Crystal saw that she behaved calmly and did not ask why Patrick was injured. Chandler told her notto ask too much.

However, there were some things that she thought it was better to mention.

"I think Patrick is also tired. When he brought people to the hotel, he came by helicopter..."

It was common sense that in snowy weather, flying a helicopter was very risky. It was easy to havean accident and get killed, but going up to the mountain by helicopter was definitely the fastestway.

Crystal said gently, "Christina, go and see him after you take a shower. He will be very happy if yougo over."

Christina lowered her head to think about something and did not reply.
