My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 148

"Auntie, why didn't you tell me about such a major operation?"

Christina blamed her but with more astonishment.

Betty seems to trust the new doctor. Who is he? Her aunt was always vigilant and distrusted others.

"You didn't tell me about your divorce last time. I saw it on TV myself..." A faint retort from the other end of the phone.

"I was afraid that you would get angry and thus deteriorate your health condition..."

Hearing the things that happened before, Christina felt a little guilty and couldn't help looking at the man beside her.

Patrick happened to be staring at her all the time.

Their eyes met, and Patrick raised his eyebrow, warning her to make things clear immediately.

Christina felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and turned her head slightly.

Shit...

There's stillt her marriage to be told.

She hesitated, but before she could say anything, Betty suppressed her complicated emotions and sighed, "It's been so many years, and your grandfather could always make a better choice."

Hearing that he mentioned Grandpa suddenly, she didn't sink in for a moment.

Betty lowered her voice with a hint of speechlessness and laughter. "I mean, when you were a child, your grandfather had arranged a child's marriage for you..."

The child marriage Grandpa arranged...

Hearing these words, Christina's eyes widened slightly with her nerves tense.

Looking at her strange expression, Patrick frowned.

Just as she was about to ask something, Betty continued to sigh. "Christina, you were young and impulsive at that time. You really went too far and hurt his self-esteem..."

"He's too narrow-minded. I just said the wrong sentence and he directly walked away without hesitation. It's been several years and now he really ignored me so I have no chance to apologize anymore."

Christina clutched a small wooden box with her left hand, suddenly emotional. The black glass window reflected the trace of red in her eyes.

In fact, it was just like a normal quarrel, just a little more violent. She was sure that he would be softhearted and come back.

But no, after that time, for so many years, it seemed that he disappeared.

She secretly regretted and looked for him, but she failed.

She scolded him, making him run away.

"He is not so important. If he doesn't come to see me, I won't look for him."

The words revealed her obstinacy which was a bad habit because of being spoiled a long time ago.

"Christina, the reason why you became pampered and wilful when you were a child was that your grandfather your families had doted on you but not because you were the lady of Dickens Family."

Betty smiled gently on the other end. "Especially Derek. He did everything you liked. He was autistic and didn't like to talk at that time, and you bullied him hard. He was totally responsible for your bad temper. That day, you refused his proposal publicly and said you didn't want to see him again."

Christina pursed her lips, with her eyes darkened and filled with shame.

That day, even her grandfather was furious.

"He's still angry with me. I don't know... Where he had gone." The voice sounded dull.

Betty smiled snappishly. She had already known that her bark was worse than her bite.

"Christina, you two grew up together. You know best his personality. He didn't really get angry with you, and you weren't needed to give him an apology. He has just run into some things over the years."

She said and paused, later smiled even more.

"Derek is back."

"It was he who operated on me. And it was successful. Now he's with me. Christina, do you want to talk to him..."

Christina could hear the rumble in her brain, her back straightened, and her right hand clutched her phone tightly.

She couldn't hear what Betty said after that, except the words she had said before.

Derek is back.

It was really him. He was the person she met the other day.

He's back.

"What happened?" Patrick asked in a low voice.

He vaguely heard them say that someone was back, and she cared about it.

Then, just as Patrick frowned and tried getting close to her, the car abruptly stopped.

Christina was caught off guard. Her body leaned forward. Patrick protected her as soon as possible. After a few bumps, the car steadily stopped.

They looked up and quickly noticed that a black van was rushing across the road at the intersection off the highway.

"Are you hurt..."

Patrick asked her, and Christina shook her head in a daze. Her phone fell to the bottom of her seat, and she tried bending down to pick it up.

"Christina, what happened?" Betty on the other end of the phone also felt something wrong.

And she heard a man's voice, that voice...

She asked anxiously, "Christina, who's next to you?"
