Christopher widened his eyes in disbelief, thinking he must have misheard. But even if Iâm hearing things. thereâs no way Iâd hear something so absurd, âAlex, Isabella has gone mad. Are you joining her in her madness?â
Yet, all Alexander was at Christopher silently, without uttering a .
Seeing how Alexander didnât look like he was joking, Christopher could no longer keep himself together.
âI was the one involved, so how could not know who saved me? Moreover, Mr. and Mrs. Cowell and Bianca, oh yes, and even Luna knows that it was Bianci who saved me! Luna has never refuted that! How could it possibly be wrong?â Christopher found the situation utterly ridiculous.
It was precisely because they knew how Christopher would respond the Quirks did not immediately inform him about the fact that he had acknowledged the wrong person as his savior.
