Chapter 264
Bang, bang, bang — All of a sudden, someone was pounding on the car window outside, and Barbara's face turned pale in fear.
She then hurriedly turned off her laptop, pulled out the USB flash drive with her right hand, and held it tightly in her palm.
After then, she turned her head to look out of the car window.
"Miss, you can't just stop your car at the entrance of the hospital."
It was the hospital security guard who yelled at her.
Originally, he wanted to scold her for parking disorderly, but when he saw that the driver was a frightened-looking woman, he softened his voice.
"There's a parking space in the hospital.You can go around on the left and find it.Don't block the entrance of the hospital."
She forced out a smile and replied in alow voice, "Thank you."
After the security guard left, she was relieved.
But looking at the small black USB drive in her hand, she still remained tense.
"The child is not dead."
The woman in the video said that she couldn't let anyone else know about it, especially the Hopkins family.
And she didn't want to ask for trouble.
Anyway, Christina had nothing to do with the Hopkins family anymore.
Barbara could never let her come back to the Hopkins family again.
What should she do with this USB drive? Who was this doctor named Steven working for? Suddenly, she thought of something else, and her breathing became quicker and more uneven.
She immediately pulled out a few tissues from the cardboard box and wiped then the USB drive hard several times until she was sure that there were no fingerprints left.
And what should she do about Derek? She could turn a blind eye to this strange c-section or ignore the doctor Steven, but Derek, she couldn't take him lightly.
Once Derek knew this U disk was missing, he would try his best to take it back.
At this time, Barbara drove the car to the side and strode into the hospital again.
And her steps were both hurried and flurried.
When she reached the back door of the pediatrics department, she immediately put the USB drive back to its original position while there was no one around.
It was as if no one had touched it.
She then turned around and left, reminding herself that she must forget what happened today.
And she would never tell anyone that Patrick was the father of those two children! If anyone else knew about this video, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.
As she walked out with quick steps, she tried hard to suppress the uneasiness.
Until she got into the car again, she took a deep breathe, and left as fast as she could.
"Why is Barbara driving so fast in the city?"
Coincidentally, Charles was driving to the hospital, just passing her car.
All the time, he indulged himself in pleasure-seeking and didn't achieve much even at this age.
But he di have good eyesight.
"Barbara looks strange.What happened to her?"
Yet the man in the back seat ignored him.
Charles was used to it.
Now Patrick no longer treated him like brothers.
In Patrick's eyes, Charles was no more than a stranger.
Thinking of this, Charles laughed at himself in the heart.
It was not until he expressionlessly parked the car in the hospital parking space that he said, "Is Christina really in this hospital?"
The man in the back seat walked out, still ignoring him.
He strode straight to the emergency room ward last night, and Charles followed up.
Yet Charles couldn't figure out that since Patrick had forgotten Christina, then why he was still looking for her.
"The patient left the hospital without noticing us""
However, when Charles wanted to scold Christina fiercely once he saw him, he heard the nurse say helplessly that Christina had run away.
"Didn't you say she wasn't recovered yet? Why would she leave?"
His face darkened and he scolded angrily.
The nurse felt wronged being yelled at by him.
But only he knew that he was actually mad at Christina instead of the nurse.
Hearing her words, Patrick didn’t say anything, but looked very surly.
"By the way, just now...a lady was looking for you."
When the nurse saw that they were not ordinary men, she did not dare to neglect them.She then dutifully told Patrick that.
After she had told them everything, she immediately left.
"Barbara is quite well-informed.She knew that Christina was hospitalized before I did."
Charles was in a bad mood and said wryly. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
"At the speed she was driving just now, she would get penalty notice-"
It was strange that Barbara, who had always been calm and self-controlled, was driving like crazy.
Soon they left the hospital.
They didn’t bother to speculate what happened to Barbara and her purpose of coming to this hospital.
"Where the hell have you been last night?"
"Did you meet someone?"
At this moment, at the door of Crystal's small apartment, she was looking from head to toe at the woman in front and asking, "Why would you sprain your ankle?"
And Christina stood outside the door, being questioned by Crystal with anger.
Finally, she said in a hoarse voice, "I'm hungry."
When Crystal heard that, she was furious! What the heck! They had been worried about her all day! Now that she was back in a mess, but she turned a deaf ear to all Crystal's questions.
She was acting as if nothing happened! How she dared to say she was hungry! Crystal was very angry and said in an acerbic tone, "Christina, I'm not Patrick Hopkins.This trick of yours is useless to me.Hurry up and confess to me.Otherwise, you can't enter my house!"
"I'm going to pack my things and move out."
It was obvious that Christina did not feel her anger.
And Christina was about to leave.
Hearing that, Crystal immediately felt ashamed.
"You really want to move out?"
"Is it because of what my mom said? Just ignore her.She always speaks out without thinking.But she didn't mean that.This apartment is mine.I can decide."
"I want to rent a house and start over."
Her words were flat but determined.
Crystal struggled a while, then dragged her into the house.
She knew Christina had made up her mind.
"You left so suddenly yesterday and your phone was turned off again! Do you know how much we were worried about you? We're afraid that you might..."
At this moment, Crystal was no longer angry.
To put it bluntly, she was just worried.
"What do you mean just now? You have me, Aunt Garner, and Derek.We can take care of you.Why do you want to move out? What are you thinking?"
Although she was berating Christina, she still rushed into the kitchen and took out the milk and bread that were heated by the microwave.
She then put them on the table very hard and asked Christina to eat them immediately.
And Christina seemed to have suddenly become obedient.
She didn't refute, only eating quietly, Crystal couldn't bear to see her like this.
"Hey, do you really want to rent a house and move out?"
As Christina drank the milk, she nodded.
Crystal then glared at her.
"You went out for a night.And you come back with a foot injury, and you also caught a cold.How can I trust you can look after yourself?"
Christina knew Crystal was just concerned about her.
And she was moved.
She then put down the glass, lowered her head, and muttered to herself, "If I can't survive, I'll let Derek hypnotize me.By then, I can forget everything here."
And she could also forget Patrick.
