My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1355

The video ended there. Sophia’s screen was then filled with news of Christine’s death.

Soon, the car arrived at the hospital where reporters were crowding the entrance. When they spotted Stanley, they instantly recognized him, and countless microphones were shoved into his face.

“Mr. Fletcher, were you and Miss Bishop in a relationship?”

“Is it true that Miss Bishop had died on the spot?”

“What do you think of Miss Bishop’s death?”

Stanley ignored all their questions. With a somber expression, he walked into the hospital while the security guards blocked the reporters from entering. The signage above the emergency room was still lit. In the corridor, blood-covered doctors and nurses were constantly walking around. Joel had his arms around Maddie as he whispered words of comfort.

“Joel, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let her come to Amstead. It’s all my fault—” Maddie sobbed. The look on Joel’s face was extremely unpleasant.

“How’s Christine?” Stanley hurried over. Joel glanced at Sean, who was behind him, then answered, “Still having surgery. She’s not out of danger yet.”

When Stanley heard this, he felt hollowed out for a moment, and his mind turned blank. Something bad had happened to Christine; no wonder he was fidgety all afternoon and evening. He demanded abruptly, “What the hell happened?”

“A few stars were drinking and celebrating in the hotel room. Christine got drunk and jumped down from the window on the eighth floor. The police are investigating it right now,” Joel explained.

Sophia’s heart skipped a beat. Is that really the case?

During midnight, Sophia sat in the hospital corridor, repeatedly watching the video of Christine that was being circulated online. Christine had been sitting on the eighth-floor window, shouting and yelling as if she really had too much to drink.

Sophia looked at the time the video was taken. It was around the time she had given Stanley a call. She then noticed the name of the hotel—Champs-Elysee Hotel. Champs-Elysee Hotel… Where have I heard that name before?

Meanwhile, Joel was pacing up and down the corridor. Sean had bought several bottles of water and was giving one to Stanley. He wordlessly accepted it, then held it in his hands, making no move to drink it. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the emergency room light.

Sean patted Stanley’s shoulder and reassured him, “Don’t worry. Christine’s going to be fine.”

Still, Stanley remained silent. He had a feeling that Christine’s jump had something to do with him not picking up her call. Her phone call had come just one minute before her jumping incident.

Christine was still being rescued, but several reporters already had news about her death prepared. Even netizens had started to claim that she was dead. A manager from Christine’s agency had come to wait for updates. The Bishops and the Evans were still in Bayside City, but they only showed up in the middle of the night. Upon arriving, they kneeled on the ground and began to weep. “Oh, my darling girl—”

Maddie’s usual gentle demeanor disappeared as she coldly reproached them. “Shut up! This is a hospital. Quit making a racket!”

As soon as they caught sight of Maddie, the Bishops and the Evans advanced aggressively on her. “Maddie, you evil creature!”
