Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 245 

Cunning! Time passed quickly.

Crystal had worked for the Stephenson family for a month, and she wasn't busy.

However, every time she saw Chandler's gentle and handsome face, and his chuckle, she could not help scolding him in her mind.

"Miss Zhu, thanks to your care, Geoffrey is always happy recently, You have contributed a lot."

Crystal was expressionless and silent.

"However, you are loyal and honest, so I suppose you care little about money and only offer you a basic salary this month.I'm afraid that you will feel stressed if I give you bonuses."

‘'I would never be stressed.I wanted money!’' Crystal remained silent, but she seemed to be angry.

"By the way, are the cookies I gave you delicious?"

Crystal Zhu nodded stiffly.

"Did you eat a lot?" She hesitated.

"I've eaten them up."

"Good” Mr.Stephenson's praise was actually meaningful.

Then, he told her calmly, "If you have diarrhea tonight, remember to call me.There are still many boxes of cookies at home.I don't know if they have expired because they've been home for too long"

Crystal was shocked, with some biscuit crumbs on the corner of her lips.She was furious.

Mr.Stephenson, you gentle scum! She really wanted to quit!! She had endured humiliation for a whole month.It was a simple thing to pick up the children or to do housework or to do some cooking.

The biggest trouble was to face Geoffrey and Chandler.

But as a spy, successfully getting some useful information comforted her.

"I heard that Patrick's operation in the United States was successful.He's recovering well."

Crystal immediately shared the news with Christina at home.

It had been more than 40 days since Christina was discharged from the hospital.

Christina would wake up in a cold sweat with her hands and feet freezing cold a few days ago.

At that time, she clenched Crystal's hand very hard, saying that she had really heard the baby crying in the operating room that day.She spoke disjointedly, sometimes even incoherently and deliriously.

Crystal sat by the bed and watched Christina.

Every time her eyes would turn red and she would hug her tightly.She knew that Christina who was trembling was actually panicking.

Crystal remained silent, without the courage to mention the child.

They all dreamed that the children would be fine.

Christina suddenly lost nearly 10 kilograms, making Crystal sad as well.

About 25 days after the incident, Christina suddenly asked for more rice, saying that she would gather her strength to think of another method.

Christina didn't need others' comfort, stronger than expected.Crystal cried with joy that day.

Derek still talked little, but he obviously looked relieved.

Finally, they didn't have to worry about Christina's mental illness, so they all looked better.

In fact, it was worse.

One morning, before Crystal went out, she wanted to ask Christina what food she would like to eat, but Christina was just lying silently on the bed.

Crystal took a step forward quietly, only to find that Christina's forehead was drenched in a cold sweat and she was trembling, with the pillow already wet.

Christina didn't dare to cry out, probably because she didn't want her friends to worry about her, or maybe Christina was forcing herself to face the misery.

Crystal had had to go to the Stephenson family every day before.

Later, Chandler might have known that Christina lived with her and informed Crystal that she didn't have to go there on the weekend because he wanted some personal space.

Crystal was a little touched although Chandler's words were still annoying.

With Derek at home, Crystal was much more relieved.

Derek was extremely meticulous, and Crystal found that he was good at cooking.

Compared to the food prepared by him, the food she cooked was disgusting.

Betty had visited Christina a few times, and Derek did not refuse her to enter the house.

But Derek seemed to look a little colder, even without having a glance at Betty.

Crystal thought that Derek perhaps blame Betty for dragging Christina into the rain that day.

"Crystal, thank you for taking care of Christina."

"I did little.Derek was the one who took care of her."

Crystal had no idea why Betty wouldn't like Christina and Patrick to be together.

Whether what had happened that day was related to Betty, before it was investigated, Betty was at least Christina's aunt.

As a result, Crystal behaved in a polite manner.

Betty always seemed remorseful.

Crystal could tell that Betty was in a bad mood, so she would usually comfort Betty, "With Derek around, Christina will get better soon.Time is the best medicine"

Every time Betty came over, she would bring some nourishing stew, which would be poured into the toilet by Derek immediately.

It wasn't because Derek hated Betty, but for the reason that Derek was always prudent.

"Christina was attacked by a woman in the car that day" Derek said something strange to Crystal.

Crystal was shocked and confused for a moment.

"How do you know?"

Christina had never mentioned what had happened that day before.

"I hypnotized her” Derek dropped a sentence and turned to the kitchen without any explanations.

Crystal's mind went blank for about two minutes, then she became irritated.

"Does this mean that someone planned to hurt Christina before?"

Derek wouldn't explain more, so Crystal could only imagine what had happened and gave up thinking about it in the end.

She didn't dare to ask Christina about what had been going on that day.

To put it bluntly, all of them would like to avoid mentioning it, hoping to let time cure the pain.

Today was Friday, which meant that Crystal had to work in the Stephenson family.

Before she left early in the morning, Crystal remembered something important.She took the calendar and counted the days.

"I said before that three months later I would return home, it is already half of a month..." This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

However, today seemed to be special.Derek also got up early, and he came over and told Crystal to stay at home and take care of Christina.

"Where are you going?" Crystal asked when Derek slammed the door and left ina hurry.

Ever since Christina lived in her house, Derek had basically become a homebody.

He had called someone to deliver the food and supplies.

Today, he looked strange and went outside, which made Crystal not only shocked but also uneasy.

After spending more than a month with Derek, Crystal thought Derek was a perfect man.

He was handsome with his clear blue eyes.He looked expressionless as if nothing could affect him.So what was the matter with him?

"Christina, did Derek tell you anything?"

Crystal called Chandler and said that she needed to be absent today and Chandler didn't ask why.

As a result, Crystal made some breakfast and went to the guest room to ask Christina to eat.

Seeing that Christina look better today, Crystal asked.

"Nothing Christina sat at the table and ate like a machine.Hearing the question, she replied in a low voice.

"Oh, then eat more.It might not be so tasty"

Crystal sat opposite her and scooped her a bowl of porridge.

"Did Derek go out?"

"Yes, he suddenly said he had something to do outside’' Crystal looked at Christina who seemed really not to know where Derek had gone to.

Then, she thought for a moment and added, "Probably because Derek has been at home for too long recently, and has a lot of businesses to deal with.There should be nothing serious.He will come back tonight."

Crystal was right.

Derek did come back that night.

It was 1 o'clock in the morning, and Crystal was sitting in the hall worriedly.

When hearing someone opening the door, Crystal quickly ran over.

"You're finally back.I was worried that it would take months for you to return"

Then she breathed a sigh of relief.But when Crystal looked up, she was stunned.

Derek's clothes were torn and messy, and his short hair was stained with dirt.

Even his cheeks and nose were bruised, with his thin lips and forehead bleeding.

It was the first time Crystal had seen him in such a mess.How could he be seriously hurt in this way?

"What's wrong with you?"

Derek replied calmly, "I've fought with Patrick"
