Chapter 584

Crystal flagged down a taxi and half forced Christina to another hospital.

Christina didn't object given that Crystal had always stood in others’ shoes and the death of her son

was a huge blow to her.

"Crystal, where are you taking me? I really can't remember what she did” Christina mumbled

helplessly.

"Just follow me, Junior Mrs. Hopkins.”

In the service hall of the hospital, a doctor in a white coat greeted them warmly, “Are you here to

have your stitches out? How is the wound recovering?”

Christina had had her chest injury treated in this hospital so doctors here knew her.

The doctor greeting them was her attending doctor so Christina stopped in her tracks to say hi.

However, Crystal looked disinterested and had no intention of stopping. She dragged Christina

forward and rounded a corner, heading to another building.

She led Christina to room 3018 on the third floor of Inpatient Building C. The door of the room was

closed.

When Crystal pushed the door open, the smell of disinfectant greeted them. The beep of medical

machines echoed in the quiet room. All windows were closed

There was a middle-aged woman in her fifties who was wearing well laying motionlessly on the bed.

“I don't know her.”

The air of the room was chilly and dreadful. The woman might be suffering from some severe

disease judging from the numerous tubes on her body.

“You do.”

Crystal pushed Christina closer to the bed and said, “Take a close look. She's Ms. Hopkins, She used

to live in the house of the Hopkins family too and always pushed you around. You had a lot of

fights.”

Ms Hopkins looked a bit creepy now with the pallor of her face and her blue lips,

istened that she was not breathing Christina was terrified and tell a step back

Did I do this to her

Chvistuna was startled, her head spring with horntlying thoughts Was she the reason the woman

was so ill?

Crystal answered without changing her countenance, “Your loss of memory is a terrible thing.” As

she spoke, she gave Christina's shoulder a pat, which made her jump.

"Ms. Hopkins was pushed down from the rooftop of the hospital by Brianna. She's a vegetable now.”

“vegetable.” Christina shuddered, didn't have the courage to look at the woman on the bed.

The odds of a vegetable waking up were very low. Once the tubes were removed, she was dead.

“You forgot so many things and it makes it easy for them to fabricate stories to deceive you. You

can't tell lies from truth.”

Crystal continued seriously, “Look, Christina, no one in this world is reliable. We can only rely on

ourselves. We have to be strong. You told me this before.”

As she spoke, she pointed indignantly at Ms. Hopkins.

“Brianna pushed Ms. Hopkins down the rooftop, caused me to miscarry, and stabbed a broken glass

in your heart.”

"Are you sure you want to forgive her just because you can't remember?”

“Mental illness is just an excuse. The Hopkins family is reluctant to punish her. Brianna did so many

appalling things but got off light just because she’s from the Hopkins family. She sinned and should

be brought to justice.”

“Besides, your twins are missing. You are not freaking out only because you've forgotten them. I bet

Brianna is behind this too. Don't be fooled by their lies. How can you allow her to be at large?”

Christina was rendered tongue-tied by her forceful words.

"But it seems that Patrick knows where they are. He said we'll meet them in a while.”

Failing to make Christina align with her, Crystal was vexed,

“Don’t you have any maternal love in you at all? You gave birth to them but never breastfed them.

You just left then to the servante They are just you bargaining chips to deal with the wealthy family

Christinas mund went blank and Crystal's words were replayed in her mind

The court teremte raising her kids hersell Mayte Crystal was riati saying she didn't have any

maternal

I know shed Crystal out of the total “Miss Hopkins is so cruel She did so many bad things but is

now enjoying a comfortable life in a mental institution. Her mental disease perhaps is just a cover

story.”

"What a filthy world.”

Christina stayed in the room for a long time, feeling so confused.

After she returned to the house of the Hopkins family, she felt too guilty to face Crystal

She told Nanny Faang to take good care of Crystal and her friend Emma. Senior Mr. Hopkins had

given the same instruction

“Madam, did something happen?” Nanny Faang noticed she was strained.

“No, I just want them to be taken good care of,” she paused before continuing, “Where's Patrick?”

"Young Master Hopkins is on a business trip. He asked his secretary to make a call and said that he

wouldn't be home for dinner. Maybe he'll come back tomorrow.”

Christina nodded abstractedly. “I see.”

She went back to her room to collect her thoughts but Nanny Faang knocked on the door before

long.

“Madam, the friend of Miss Zhu said she likes one of your bags very much and asked if you could

give it to her,” Nanny Faang said. She didn't think it was a proper ask.

Christina was surprised and then said nonchalantly, “Of course. She can take what she likes.”

Women seemed to have no resistance to beautiful things like clothes and bags, so Emma valiantly

asked for one after she'd seen the shelves of luxuries displayed in the room.

She had her eye on a Prada magenta purse.

However, when Mary heard about it, she was pissed off.

In the afternoon, they had a fight by the fountain. Mary scoffed in a strident and arrogant tone, “I

already tolerate you beggers under my roof and you have the fucking nerve to steal from my

daughter.”

Crystal and Emma felt humiliated and their faces darkened.

"She didn't steal. Christina gave it to her.” Crystal defended Emma furiously.

Mary loved luxuries too so she dashed to Emma trying to whip the purse out of her hand, Emma

wouldn't give it to her. The two women got into a scuffle and the purse fell into the fountain.

Both of them froze and blamed each other for It.

"You, get in and take it out,” Mary ordered Emma.

Crystal demanded, “It's not her fault.”

Nanny Faang rushed over and mediated between them. “I'll send someone to take it out.”

“Now that it's soaked, it's ruined,” Mary said with a disgusted look. “It's worthless now,” Emma said

in a pitiful voice while checking the purse after it was retrieved from the water.

Emma found a lipstick and a piece of brown paper in the purse.

“It seems to be a map.”
