My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 521

"There must be a misunderstanding.”

"Christina will never add saffron to my bird's nest soup.”

In the hospital, Crystal needed to be hospitalized for prenatal care because of weakness.

Chandler said that the reason why she almost had a miscarriage was that the bird's nest, seacucumber, and fish gelatin Christina bought for her was mixed with saffron powder.

She felt a chill in her back at the thought that she had been eating these things for the past fewdays.

"... Fortunately, these dried goods need to be soaked and rinsed many times, or else you will eatmore." Chandler had ordered people to keep all the "Evidence" properly and discuss it after Patrickreturned from a business trip.

Chandler knew Christina, who was not the kind of vicious women. He was sure that it was notChristina's idea, but he had to take it seriously since it involved the safety of Crystal and the baby."... Crystal, for the safety of you and the baby, stay in the hospital. I'll replace a quiet and comfortableplace for you to stay at. Don't go back to Christina's place.”

Crystal hesitated when he heard this. "But, this is definitely not Christina..."

Chandler poured out half a bowl of lean porridge and served it to her. "Don’t overthink. Patrick and Iwill figure it out. Now you just need to try to fatten yourself up and give the baby more nutrition,okay?" he said in a gentle voice.

Crystal looked at him and nodded in agreement.

She knew that Chandler, reserved as he was, would take responsibility without hesitation once heaccepted her. Just like at this moment, he was really concerned about her and the baby in her belly."... Mrs. Shepherd spoke in a sacarstic tone just now.” The door of the ward was pushed open, andMrs. Pei looked a little embarrassed. She brought in a cup of chicken soup.

"Mom."

Crystal sat on the bed and greeted upon seeing her.

Mrs. Stephenson looked at her and grunted.

"This is the chicken soup for you. Your father bought at the market early this morning and cooked itfor hours."

"Thank you, mom."

Mrs. Stephenson motioned for Chandler to pour out some chicken soup to cool down beforedrinking it. Then she sat by Crystal's bed and said in a gentle voice, "Crystal, you suddenly went tothe hospital last night. Your father and I don't know anything. Don't blame us."

"Don't say that. I'm fine. There's no need to bother you guys."

Crystal's face was still a little weak and pale, but she forced a smile.

As for the reason why she was hospitalized, Chandler did not tell his parents in detail, nor did hemention that saffron was found in Christina's tonics. Now more was better than less.

Mrs. Stephenson, on the other hand, didn't seem to have much enthusiasm to ask the reason. Shesaid politely, "It's good that you're fine."

But then, Mrs. Stephenson asked again, "By the way, did Christina tell Mrs. Shepherd anything lastnight?” She seemed to be concerned about this more.

Crystal was just about to give her a perfunctory response.

However, Mrs. Stephenson frowned and continued, "Crystal, I know you're not a big talker. Maybe itwas because your father and I didn't come to the hospital in time to see you last night... I don'tknow what Christina said to Mrs. Shepherd. Just now, Mrs. Shepherd called me personally. Shesounded like I was some kind of vicious mother-in-law..."

Mrs. Stephenson, as a famous professor, her reputation was also enhanced. She was respected bythe students. She had her pride, but just now she was taught a lesson like Mrs. Shepherd, whichmade her feel aggrieved.

Her words left Crystal wordless. Mrs. Stephenson never let it go, because Christina hit Chandler in afit of anger. Although she also felt sorry for her husband, Christina was doing this for her sake, soshe naturally could not say anything.

"Mom, actually, Christina..."

"Forget it. Don't mention her anymore,” Mrs. Stephenson sighed... "Our family does everything openand above board. They can say whatever they want. We are not afraid of them.”

"By the way, Crystal, we didn't force you to give up this baby when we discussed it with you. It cameall of a sudden.”

Crystal immediately became nervous. "Mom, if you're afraid that Geoffrey won't be able to acceptmy child, I'm willing to stay outside and not go back to the Stephenson family."

Having gone through the experience of almost losing her baby last night, she took her baby aseverything of her.

Mrs. Stephenson comfortingly stroked her soft hair and said kindly, "Don't be so nervous. We're afamily... Since we've decided to keep this child now, you should take good care of yourself and givebirth smoothly. The Stephenson family will certainly be able to raise a child.”

Crystal was touched to hear that "We are a family.” She was about to say something that she wouldbe filial to elders and take care of her child.

But at this moment, Mrs. Stephenson added in a serious tone, "Crystal, Geoffrey is the eldestgrandson and the first successor of our family. I hope you can also treat Geoffrey as your own child.Be nice to him, okay?"

Crystal's expression froze in an instant.

She turned her face slightly to avoid looking at Mrs. Stephenson and nodded. "Okay."

Mrs. Stephenson immediately smiled with satisfaction, "The Stephenson family is so lucky to have asuch a kind daughter-in-law as you. You're so considerate. I'm sure everything will go well in ourfamily.”

At this moment, the phone on Crystal's bedside table vibrated. She took a quick look and saw that itwas a call from Christina.

She immediately took the phone and hung up.

She knew the rarely harmonious atmosphere would be disturbed if Mrs. Stephenson heard that shewas talking to Christina.

She didn't dare to answer Christina's call.

[In a spacious and luxurious bedroom on the second floor of east park, Hopkins family]

Christina was in a daze, looking at he phone.

Crystal had never hung up on her like this before. She thought maybe Crystal was also angry aboutthe saffron powder thing.

She wondered if Crystal suspected it was she did it.

Or both she and Chandler tried to avoid her?

"Well, they shouldn't. How could I do such a thing?"

Christina looked a little depressed. She sat on the bed, holding her cell phone tightly. She had animpulse to call Patrick to tell him that she was really wronged.

But she didn't call Patrick for the reason that she didn't want to disturb his business trip, and theother reason that she didn't want to be someone who called her husband to complain from afar.She had principles.

Anxiously, she went downstairs to look for Nanny Faang... "Where did you buy the bird's nest, seacucumber, and fish glue I asked you to prepare? How could it be mixed with saffron?"

Nanny Faang, who was busy in the kitchen in Eastern Garden, turned around and was surprised tosee Christina ran into the kitchen. What was more surprising was her words.

"All the ingredients we use, dry goods, vegetables, and fruits, are supplied by fixed suppliers. Everybatch of goods has been inspected before they come in. Moreover, these suppliers have beenworking with us for a long time, so there shouldn't be any food safety problem.”

She stopped what she was doing and walked out of the kitchen with her, chatting, "Junior Mrs.Hopkins, what did you just say about saffron?”

Christina looked at her with a serious face, listening carefully to every word she said just now. Shewould not easily doubt the people around her. She excluded Nanny Faang from her list of suspects,believing that she had no evil intentions.

"Some time ago, I asked you to prepare dry tonics. I was going to give them to a friend of mine. Didyou add anything to those dry tonics?"

"What? How could that be?"

Nanny Faang looked nervous and quickly explained, "I know Miss Zhu is pregnant. Her food mustbe carefully prepared. There's absolutely impossible that I adulterate it with defective food..."

The butler who worked with her, in addition to taking care of their masters’ diet, was particularlyconcerned about their related personnel.

"I picked them myself last time. They were all the best dry supplements.” She thought the Hopkinsfamily must give the best gift.

Seeing that Nanny Faang didn't seem to lie, Christina was about to ask something more when asharp and arrogant voice came. "All in your mind is to empty our things in Hopkins family.”

Ms. Hopkins looked at her provocatively and sneered, "Christina, you married into our family andare our granddaughter-in-law. You should be more considerate of your family. Why do you want totake advantage of your family and only think about bringing all good stuff to your mother's home?""Ms. Hopkins, Junior Mrs. Hopkins has a good friend who is pregnant. It's just a small gift.”

Nanny Faang said kindly, expressing that Christina was not the kind of woman as she said.

Given that Nanny Faang and the old housekeeper used to serve the old master, Ms. Hopkinsshowed her some respect. She snorted, and turned to look at Christina.

Christina did not refute, which was rare. Usually, they were totally incompatible.

Seeing that Christina was a little preoccupied today, Nanny Faang asked with concern, " Junior Mrs.Hopkins, is something wrong? Is saffron found in those dried goods? This is impossible... Do youwant to tell Young Master Hopkins?"

"No need.”

With that, Christina walked out of Eastern Garden. Her mind was in a mess and she was not in themood to argue with Ms. Hopkins. She walked casually along the path with a puzzled face.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a meow came from the grass on the right side of the back garden of Eastern Garden.

She suddenly stopped and looked warily at the rose on her right. Sure enough, a fully tanned catwalked out gracefully and slowly.

It wagged its long tail and squatted upright, looking straight at her with its golden eyes.

At this moment, Christina felt frightened. Before she could react, the black cat suddenly jumpednimbly. It quickly burrowed into the grass and was out of sight.

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly above her head. The little black cat quickly flashed infront of her. She chased it instinctively.

The little black cat could easily hide itself in a dark corner. However, beneath the scorching sun, itran along a clear route, seemingly trying to lead Christina to somewhere.
