Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 236 

Christina had been having bad dreams.She was in a deep coma.

Sleeping pills' effect did not exist now.

But she still did not wake up.

When Betty was told to rush to the hospital, Christina had been sleeping soundly on the bed for three days.

"The patient woke up once the next day after the operation.She was very emotionally unstable.We thus injected her with a sleeping potion, then she slept for three days.

She woke up this morning.But when we asked her if she had any relatives, she didn't want to talk..."

Seeing Betty coming over, the chief nurse of the Inpatient Department immediately approached forward and briefed her about the situation.

"Police from the Department of Transport checked the video of the street, where the accident happened on that heavy- rainy day.They found that you had a fight with her on the side of the road that night.You should know her, right?"

Betty rushed over in a hurry, and her hair and clothes were a little messy.She stood stiffly at the door of the ward, felt difficult to walk with her feet, and she couldn't walk in.

Betty was surprised and sad when she saw Christina sleeping on the bed, who looked pale and weak.

Betty wondered how did her niece, who had always been energetic, turn to be so delirious and lifeless? The chief nurse also glanced at the bed, looking very impatient.

"She already owes our hospital tens of thousands of dollars in medical expenses.I heard that she even stole a car.No wonder a pregnant woman like her receives no visits from her husband.But her own families can't happen to have died either? No one has ever reported to the police about her missing after so many days.Our director also said that she has mental issues and needs to be transferred to the psychiatry department.But she doesn't have any money with her for the treatment.This is really troublesome"

"She's my niece.I'll pay for her medical expenses." Betty replied to the nurse unhappily.

Hearing this, the chief nurse looked at Betty with contempt and urged coldly, "Since you are a relative of the patient, then hurry up and pay the fee.The total cost today is fifty-three thousand dollars.We can't postpone it anymore.You have to pay it all today.Otherwise, according to the rules in our hospital, we will immediately stop treating her."

"I have told you I will pay.Do you have to be so mean?"

Betty was irritated immediately.

"It's already very humane of us to let her stay here for so many days.If everyone uses medical resources for free like this, our hospital will be in a mess.Why don't you reflect on what kind of person your niece is? A pregnant woman stole a car and drove recklessly up the national highway.Who's to blame for what happened?"

The chief nurse was reasonable to say so.

Looking at Betty's plain clothes, the chief nurse was afraid that Betty wouldn't pay the fee, she then turned around and told another nurse, "Follow her down to the lobby on the first floor to pay the bill.We will also need her to pay the deposit in advance"

No matter how good-tempered Betty was, she was finally angered, "Can't I go in and see her first and pay the bill later?"

"Director Ann lets her lie here for so long because he pities her.Look at the patients in the hallway here.Do you think there are many beds in the hospital for free? We are short of medical resources."

Betty was extremely angry, but she managed to control her anger, "I'm going to settle the fee now.Please look after her!"

She went down to the lobby and waited in line to pay the bill.

The hospital was filled with people every day.The smell of disinfectant was pungent.

From time to time, there were people pushing wheelchairs and beds back and forth.It was noisy here, and the more empty her mind was, the more she panicked.

"The twins are gone..."

She muttered without any emotion.

Although she didn't like the Hopkins family, she still felt sad hearing the twins were lost.

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

She hurriedly filled out a form at the window and paid for the fee.She immediately took the elevator back to the 7th floor, where the inpatient department was located.

Christina was still in an independently intensive-care ward.

Judging from the snobbishness of the chief nurse just now, Christina would have been thrown into a common ward or the hallway, if she hadn't been so seriously injured.

Thinking of this, Betty felt very sad.

She didn't even dare to step into this ward, blaming herself for shouldn't force Christina to come back, or she should be ruthless enough and stop Christina from coming back...If so, this would not have happened.

"Christina, you, are you still feeling unwell?" She asked softly as she quietly approached the bed.

The woman lay flat on the bed, her face was pale, her eyes looked empty as she was staring at the ceiling.

She seemed to be deaf and was like a body without a soul.She was lying still.

Betty's heart ached when she saw her paleness and stiffness.She choked and said, "Christina, I'm Auntie.Can you answer me, please?"

"I'm quite worried to see you like this.Let bygones be bygones.Everything will get better.Don’t think too much.Don't think too much."

"I want Patrick..."

"I need to find Patrick."

A low and weak voice was squeezed out of her dry and cracked lips.

In fact, she knew that she could also hear the voices of these doctors and nurses, but she didn't want to speak.

Her heart was numb, and the blood of her whole body was still.She felt like a dead person.She didn't want to listen to anything, she didn't want to think.She was afraid to think.

"I'm looking for Patrick..." Christina repeatedly said this with a hoarse voice.

She was restraining her feeling and holding back the tears from her swollen eyes.

"I'm looking for children…” Betty stood by the bed.

Seeing Christina like this, Betty's tears immediately dropped down.Betty had never seen Christina being so desperate and helpless.

Even back then when Christina had known about her mother's suicide, she would have hugged Betty and cried, slowly accepting the reality.

Christina had also comforted her.Her niece Christina had been spoiled and bold since she was a child.

People in the Dickens family always complained that a daughter was not as good as a son.

Christina hated the Dickens family, but she also cared about it very much.

She insisted on making herself stronger than boys.

However, she was stubborn and soft-hearted, and always suffered losses in the end.

Christina would not rely on others.

Especially after her grandfather and mother left, she was still lively and cheerful.

But she alienated outsiders.

Even Betty herself felt that she could not reach Christina's heart.

Now Christina was crying like a child, calling out the name "Patrick."

Betty was shocked and felt sad for her.Betty didn't expect her to trust that man in the Hopkins family so much.

"Auntie will contact him now.I'll ask him to come to you immediately..." Betty said gently and quickly agreed her.

But she herself had no idea how to contact the people in the Hopkins family.She looked around the counter in the ward and did not see Christina's cell phone.She thought the phone might be lost during the car accident.

After thinking about it, she took out her own cell phone as she had Senior Mr.Hopkins's private phone number.

The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable.

Please dial later...

The reminding sound made by artificial intelligence came from the phone repeatedly, echoing in the cold ward.

Betty was very anxious as Senior Mr.Hopkins didn't use this number very often.

Betty did not have Patrick's private number, and she couldn't reach Derek as he was abroad now.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door hurriedly.

Betty turned to look, feeling even more anxious.

It was the chief nurse, who opened the door and walked straight in.

She shouted loudly, "Just now you didn't pay the money for the morgue.It's 800 dollars a day.Two baby corpses have been put there for almost four days.Go down and pay it now"

"Besides, we cannot put the corpses of the dead fetus all the time.We don't have any extra space in the hospital.Hurry up and decide what to do..."

The cold shrill voice pierced into her heart like a sharp knife.

Christina, who was lying on the bed, was obviously frozen by this.She opened her eyes wide in horror and was at a loss.

Her pale face gradually became worse, and even her lips trembled uncontrollably.Betty was so angry that she ran to the door and pushed the chief nurse out.

"Are you a human? Don't say that in the ward.Don't affect her!"

"I'm just doing business.There are so many people dying in the hospital every day.How can I be so tactful? Death is just death.We have said that when the car accident happened, the fetuses were already dead, and the dead fetuses were just occupying the space in the morgue."

The chief nurse's face was cold and she spoke rudely.She raised her chin, looked at Betty, and asked, "Do you want the patient to see the two fetuses?"

"No! “ Betty resisted subconsciously.It was too cruel to see them.

"This patient has been in our hospital for so long.I don't think she has any relatives.You can make a decision for her.You've seen the two fetuses in the morgue, and their face looked purple.It looks really scary and gloomy.This thing is very evil and mysterious."

Seeing that Betty did not respond, the chief nurse became even more impatient, "Our hospital receives a lot of casualties every day.You don't want me to go to the ward every day and ask when to handle the

fetuses, do you? Hurry up and cremate them, then all will be fine."

If these nurses brought this up in the ward every day, her niece Christina would really go crazy.

Betty took a deep breath and looked up at the chief nurse again.Betty hated her attitude extremely, but the twins really needed to be handled early so that they could look forward to the future.

"Cremate them"

This sentence sounded really heavy.

The two fetuses were supposed to be lively and lovely babies, but now they had to be "cremated", a word full of the sense of death.

Hearing this, the chief nurse changed her expression suddenly, and she smiled, "Then I'll arrange it now."She then turned around and walked away as if she couldn't wait.

Betty thought for a moment and shouted nervously at the nurse's back, "Be careful, do keep the children's ashes."
