A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 642

Chapter 642 Permanent Paralysis

At the moment, Christina’s aggressive and ruthless demeanor resembled that of a vengeful demon in Azure’s eyes.

She hastily shook the former’s hand off her and got into the ambulance without looking back.

Nathaniel stepped forward to support the slightly trembling Christina and looked at Azure’s receding figure. His gaze was glacial when he said softly, “Let’s go to the hospital”

Taking Christina’s feelings into consideration, he did not arrange for Timothy and Nigel to be treated at the same hospital.

The moment Timothy arrived at the hospital, he was sent into the emergency room.

While Sebastian carried out his task of running errands diligently. Nathaniel stuck close to Christina’s side, and the two of them waited together outside the emergency room for a long time.

A sense of unease filled Christina, and she began to regret her harshness toward Timothy,

Although the man had done many things to hurt her, he had been trying hard to make amends after learning the truth.

Despite so, she couldn’t get past the hurdle in her heart and now found herself caught in a dilemma. Jasper trained his gaze on the distraught woman and hesitated for a long while before approaching her and saying, “Ms. Steele, I have something to tell you.

Christina pulled herself together and replied, “Please feel free to speak your mind, Mr. Miller.”

“I know it may not be the best time to say this now, but I don’t want to see you and Mr. Gibson have any regrets in the future,” Jasper said earnestly.

Without asking Nathaniel to leave, he continued, “Ever since Mr. Gibson learned that Mr. Nigel was the culprit who killed his wife, he’s been waiting for the right moment to take revenge. The reason why Mr. Gibson agreed to meet Mr. Nigel together with Old Mrs. Gibson is that he wants to acquire the company under Mr. Nigel’s name at a low price, thus paving the way for investment expansion in Gibson Corporation’s new venture.”

The process of taking over Gibson Corporation hadn’t been smooth for Christina, but she had grown accustomed to swallowing all her grievances and keeping them to herself. In fact, even Nathaniel was not privy to some of her worries. Apart from that, the growing rift between her and Timothy had made it so that she would never consider him as someone she could trust and confide in.

It never crossed my mind that Dad has been silently observing me, perceiving the emotions I thought I had concealed so perfectly.

Tears welled up in Christina’s eyes.

Jasper added, “There’s one more thing Mr. Gibson has never mentioned to anyone. He has been undergoing intensive leg rehabilitation treatment, and the results are quite good. The doctors say there’s a good chance he’ll be able to walk again.

Christina was not only

Nathaniel, on the other hand, was not surprised by this revelation.

for treating Timothy was sent by him.

He was well aware of Timothy’s treatment progress,

He had two main reasons for taking matters into his own hand. For starters, he wanted to have leverage over Timothy’s life to prevent the Gibson family from harming Christina. Secondly, he wanted to observe how Timothy would react once he learned the truth and whether he would choose to stand on Christina’s side.

As it turned out, Timothy did not disappoint Nathaniel. The former had made a resolute decision to stand with Christina. In doing so, Nathaniel was able to resolve a future concern for her.

Jasper explained, “Ms. Steele, Mr. Gibson has had a difficult time in the Gibson family all these years. A major factor in the worsening of his leg condition stems from his psychological struggles, However, ever since the Gibson family brought you back, he has undergone a significant transformation. Despite his past extreme actions due to his late wife, he never intended to harm you.”

Sighing, he lamented. “To be honest, Old Mrs. Gibson played a big role in Mr. Gibson’s suffering.

Christina clenched her fists as rage welled within her. She looked at Jasper with determination and said. “Mr. Miller, thank you for telling me all this and for taking care of Dad all these years. I promise you that I will make those who have wronged Dad pay a painful price.”“ novelxo.com fast update

She pushed Nathaniel aside and ran after Timothy.

Fearing that something might happen to her, Nathaniel followed after her.

Soon, Timothy was taken to the intensive care unit where visitors were not allowed. Left without a choice, Christina could only stand by the window outside the ward and try to catch a glimpse of him.

After enduring another three-hour-long wait, everyone present felt nothing but exhaustion. It was obvious that the events of the night had taken a toll on them.

As dawn approached, Christina’s body couldn’t bear the strain any longer, and she suddenly collapsed, leaving Nathaniel to stay by her bedside through the rest of the night.

In the hospital restroom, Nathaniel tossed his cigarette into the trash bin and turned on the faucet to wash his hands. Without looking back at Sebastian, who was standing behind him, he asked, “How’s the situation with Nigel?”

“He has facial fractures and needs to undergo reconstructive surgery,” came the latter’s reply.

Nathaniel scoffed, “Seems like he got off too easy!”

I should have kicked him in a way that would have taken his life instead of letting him undergo facial reconstruction surgery and continue causing trouble.

Sebastian added in a serious tone, “Dealing with Old Mr. Stone won’t be a walk in the park. He has sent someone to deliver a message requesting to meet with you as soon as possible. If you decline, it could potentially impact Hadley Corporation.”

Having lived for over twenty years, Nathaniel had seen and faced all sorts of challenges, so he wasn’t overly worried about Barnaby’s threat.

“He’ll need to get Sheridan’s approval first if he wants to seek justice for Nigel.” A cold gleam flickered in the depths of Nathaniel’s eyes. “Make sure Mrs. Lazuli keeps her mouth shut. I don’t want to hear any unfavorable rumors about my wife.”
