Chapter 221

After a while, he asked in the quiet study.

"Derek has always had the Junior Mrs.Hopkins followed.After the Junior Mrs.Hopkins was sick in
hospital after eating takeout that day, he rushed from F City to A City hospital.He didn't know that
someone had murdered the Junior Mrs.Hopkins in advance.Besides, we checked the ward that
day.Derek should have a battle with the murderer”

The bodyguard paused and concluded ina low voice, "Barbara did not intend to murder the Junior
Mrs.Hopkins that day, nor did Derek.’

This result was the worst.Who the hell was the murderer? The thick clouds in the dark sky gradually
moved away, and the hazy moonlight cast on the ground.

Under the moonlight, Patrick's expression was extremely solemn.

After reporting, the bodyguard nodded respectfully to Patrick and left.

This night, he definitely couldn't fall asleep.

Nanny Faang was in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Garden of the Hopkins family.

At midnight, she walked around the second floor.

The Ginseng Soup in the bedroom was already cold, But from the bottom seam of the door panel of the
study, it could be seen that the light was on until dawn.

Nanny Faang specifically asked all the maids to be more careful not to make any mistakes and irritate
Young Master Hopkins because he always had a bad temper after staying up late in the study.



Her warning scared the new maids who were on shift today, who became much more careful in their
work at once.

All of them couldn't help but pray in their heart with a bitter smile on their faces, "If only Junior
Mrs.Hopkins was at home..."

Young Master Hopkins probably didn't know himself that he was much more easy-going when Junior
Mrs.Hopkins was around.

It was known to everyone in the Hopkins family that Senior Mr.Hopkins always got up at five in the
morning, so the breakfast must have been prepared earlier.

Nanny Faang, who was not in charge of the Main Residence, slept late this morning as she hadn't
gone to bed until midnight yesterday.

"Nanny Faaneg... maid broke into the dorm, shouting in panic.”

"What's the matter?"

Nanny Faang got up quickly, frowning.

"What happened? Did someone irritate Young Master Hopkins again? I told you last night..."

Patrick would definitely vent his anger on the one who had really annoyed him, even Senior Mr.Hopkins
was no exception.

"No, no...Young master Hopkins is still in the study.We saw a car driving towards Eastern Garden..."

Nanny Faang had been listening to the new maid stuttering patiently while she was slowly tidying up
her clothes.



However, her expression changed suddenly when the maid mentioned the car and ran towards Eastern
Garden immediately, leaving the messy sheet behind.

Servants in the Eastern Garden, most of whom had been trained by Nanny Faang personally, were all
staring at the back of Nanny Faang in shock as she rushed up the stairs and slammed the door of the
study.

All of them were worried.

Didn't Nanny Faang tell them that the noise of running in the house would disturb Young Master
Hopkins? What if he got angry now? Sure enough, Patrick was angry.

"What?"

He pulled the door open in an extremely bad mood since he had been awake for the whole night.

There were many cigarette butts in the ashtray in the study.

Patrick stood at the door, staring at Nanny Faang coldly as if he was about to scold her.

Nanny Faang, who was frightened by his aura, blamed herself secretly for being too rash.

So she took a step back, lowering her head.

"Young Master Hopkins..."

She said in a low voice, "Young Master Hopkins, Junior Mrs.Hopkins is back"

Patrick Hopkins stood till surprisedly for a moment.

There was some stubble on his chin.



He was obviously both physically and mentally exhausted after staying up all night.

Something must have been worrying him.

He came to his senses after a few seconds.

Christina was back? Immediately, he walked past Fanny Faang and headed towards the stairs quickly.

However, he stopped as he was about to step on the stairs.

Christina was looking up at him in surprise downstairs, wondering why he happened to appear upstairs
at the very moment with such a fierce look.

Patrick was having a complicated feeling right now as he stared at Christina with eager and sharp
eyes.

It was indeed a "flerce"look since he didn't even blink once.

Christina stood still.

The nervousness in her heart was turned into helplessness by Patrick's gaze.

Was he still angry that she left with her aunt? While Christina was struggling in her heart, Patrick
walked towards her calmly step by step in silence.

Seeing him approach, Christina felt more and more scared and uncomfortable.There was a moment
when she even regretted coming back here.
