Chapter 205

Backfired

Linda appeared to have consumed something bad, causing her stomach to ache, so she went to the
hospital.

She had no relatives in Jadeborough, so Charlie rushed to the hospital to check on her after hearing
the

news.

He comforted her for a while before returning horne.

After finishing his meal, Linda called again, urging him to come over.

Charlie had already promised Felicia that he would never see Linda again, but he couldn’t help but be
concerned when he heard that his ex–lover was ill.

“Dad, I bought a lot of fruit. Do you want to have some with us?” Christina’s sweet voice sounded.

Charlie turned his head around. “Sure.”

Then, he said a few more sentences to the person on the other end of the phone before hanging up.
He exited the living room and sat down with Christina and Nathaniel to eat some fruits.

Julia and Sierra happened to return from a walk, and they all sat down together to have some coffee.
During that period, Linda called a few more times, but Charlie rejected the calls.

His actions caught Julia’s attention.

She had caught whiffs of a feminine scent on him when he entered the house, and now his phone was
ringing nonstop.



Julia’s facial expression gradually darkened.)

Christina, who was munching on some snacks, casually asked with feigned curiosity, “Dad, why aren’t
you answering the phone? Is it Ms. Macall looking for you?”

She figured Linda was a scheming woman and wouldn’t want to admit defeat.

Charlie sighed softly. “Linda has no relatives here, and Francis has gone to film. It’s inconvenient for
her to stay alone in the hospital when she’s sick.”

In fact, he didn’t have any ulterior motives. He merely wanted to care for Linda since they had a history
together.

Sierra, sitting at one side, sneered, “I think you’re just reluctant to let go of that vixen.”

She knew very well how many years Charlie had left home for Linda.

“How can you say that?” Charlie glared at his sister. Why is she adding fuel to the fire at this time?

Noticing the hints of anger lacing Julia’s visage, Charlie swiftly added, “I won’t break my promise to
Mom, so you can quit doubting me.”

He had already knelt by his mother’s bedside and promised her that he wouldn’t spend his life with
Linda anymore, but he couldn’t ignore her current plight.

Christina could sense his dilemma, so she took the initiative and said, “How about this, Dad? I was
acquainted with Ms. Macall before, so why don’t I go to the hospital to take care of her from now on?
That way, you can focus on your work.”

Charlie nodded in agreement. This daughter–in–law of mine is so sensible, helping me resolve this
problem in no



time.

“All right. Please help me care for her in the future. That way, I won’t have to travel back and forth and
can spend more time at home.”

Christina flashed a dazzling smile. “Okay. Leave it to me, Dad.”

Naturally, Julia fathomed Christina’s intention. The expression in her eyes turned significantly gentler.

After dinner, the family saw Christina and Nathaniel off, watching them leave in the car.

It was only after the car had disappeared from view that Sierra expressed her dissatisfaction. “Julia, is it
worth it for you to treat Christina that well? Don’t tell me you’ve really accepted her as your daughter–
in-”

law?”

Sierra knew for a woman from a prestigious family like Julia, finding a partner with matching family
background for her son was of utmost importance.

Julia watched the car disappear in the distance in silence. A pensive look flashed across her
countenance. Let’s hope Christina won’t disappoint me.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the car was inexplicably tense.

Christina could clearly sense Nathaniel’s gloominess despite his poker face.

He usually wouldn’t let his emotions show, but after spending a long time together, she could tell
whenever he was mad because his aura would intensify.

She looked up and leaned closer to him. “Nathaniel, are you angry?”



He was fine before hearing that question, but once she asked, his expression instantly turned a few
shades darker.

Nathaniel gazed down and saw her innocent face. He stretched out his long arm and gently scooped
her into his embrace.

“Why did you agree to take care of Linda? Is it because you want to meet with Francis?”

Listening to his steely tone, Christina finally understood why he was enraged. He thinks I want to get in
touch with Francis…

Christina was initially a little infuriated to be misunderstood, but at the sight of Nathaniel’s exquisite
facial features, she couldn’t bring herself to stay mad.

She pouted and explained, “You’re falsely accusing me. Didn’t you see Mom getting upset when Dad
wanted to visit Linda?” That was why I volunteered to undertake this “responsibility.” Didn’t Nathaniel
notice my “great sacrifice“?

Nathaniel snorted indifferently. “Nope.”

She eyed him begrudgingly. I shouldn’t have placed so much hope in him. He has never been able to
grasp the

subtle changes in others‘ emotions when it comes to romantic relationships.

She had no choice but to expound her intentions to him.

Finally, Nathaniel wrapped his mind around the situation. Nonetheless, he also gave her an order,
forbidding her from staying more than half an hour.

“Fine. I’ll listen to you. Can you stop being angry now?” Christina replied sulkily.



Hearing the satisfactory answer, he curled his lips into a smile. “Good girl.”

Nathaniel pinched her chin and lifted her face. Then, he lowered his head slightly and kissed her soft
lips.

Christina had always felt he was assertive and even a little domineering at times, but it was precisely
that character of his that captivated her, making her infatuated.

After work, Christina went to the hospital according to the address given to her by Charlie.

When she pushed open the door to the VIP ward, she didn’t smell the usual scent of disinfectant.
Instead, the fragrance of perfume wafted into her nose. Does a sick person still have the mood to wear
perfume?

Linda thought Charlie had come, so she hastily lay on the bed and pretended to be weak.

Christina almost laughed in amusement at the sight of her comical actions. “Ms. Macall, it’s me.”

Linda furrowed her brows and was instantly disappointed. She immediately sat up on the bed, showing
no sign of a patient’s fragility.

“Why

are you here? Where’s Charlie?” Linda was beside herself with rage when she saw Christina.

She suddenly felt her chest tighten, and even her breathing became labored. Her voice was filled with
disdain when she spoke.

Christina placed the fruit basket on the bedside table. “Dad and Mom are busy, so they asked me to
visit you on their behalf.”

Hearing that, Linda flipped out and shoved the fruits to the floor.



Wrath churned in her eyes as she glared at Christina and snorted. “I don’t need you to come and visit
me. If you hadn’t deliberately framed me, would I need to pretend to be sick now, you damn brat!”

Since the incident at Felicia’s residence, Charlie had become utterly disappointed in her.

In the past, he would stay by her bedside when she was sick, but now everything had changed.

Linda couldn’t accept it.

Christina chuckled and replied casually, “Ms. Macall, you’re being unreasonable. I didn’t frame you at
all. It’s more like your plan backfired!”
