Chapter 331 The Wounds Will Bleed
“Christina?”
“Madison!”
Both their voices echoed in the spacious space.
A while ago, Christina had thought the silhouette looked familiar, and her suspicion had led her to
probe further.
Little did she expect to catch the person red-handed.
Madison was certain that the former had no solid proof, so she uttered cidly. “What a coincidence!
You’re here for horseback riding too?”
“It’s not a coincidence. You came looking for me on purpose,” Christina stated confidently. She knew it
was a piece of cake for Madison to use her identity to check Nathaniel’s schedule.
I haven’t seen this woman for years, and she’s now smarter than before. “I took the weekend off and
came here for horseback riding” Madison pressed her lips, refusing to admit her real agenda,
“Whatever it is, you can exin that to the policeter.” A sharp glint shed across Christina’s eyes.
She had already called the police before walking in.
Madison frowned and asked diffidently, “What evidence do you have that I was the cause of your fall?”
Christina was riding a horse just now. She couldn’t have had a spare hand to hold her phone. That’s
impossible! Moreover, the racecourse doesn’t have any surveince cameras installed indoors because
they want to protect the privacy of their guests. She can’t have any proof.
Christina smirked coldly. This is just the beginning of my questions, yet she can’t wait to give herself
away already!
“There was a couple taking pictures and videos nearby when you passed me by just now. I’m sure
they’ve captured the evidence of your crime.”
At that instant, Madison’s face turned as white as a sheet.
Christina continued, “Do you want toe clean and admit to the police that you’ve hurt me? Or
should I get the photo evidence and then reveal it to the whole world?”
“Are you threatening ine?” Madison fumed, finding it hard to breathe.
The worst thing that could happen to me if I were to turn myself in was to be detained and Nathaniel
would never find out about this. On the contrary, if Christina reports the incident to Nathaniel and
submits the proof to the police. I’ll be kicked out of Hadley Corporation. I’m being cornered by
Christina’s ruthless n! Her move practically left me with no choice.
“Were you concerned about my safety when you made me fall from the horse?” Christina snapped
back at her, her eyes bloodshot.
Madison was rendered speechless once more.
“Since you couldn’t care less about me then, you have no right to ask me now. I’ll give you three
seconds to decide. One… Two…”
“Ill confess to the police that I hurt you,” Madison said through gritted teeth.
Christina’s lip curled up into a smile. Her shimmering gaze was as pure as snow, and not a tinge of
feigned expression could be found on her countenance. “Mywyer will arrive shortly. I bet you’re well
aware of the consequences if you go back on your words.”
With that, she turned and strode out of the changing room, leaving a resentful Madison behind
screaming and yelling out of anger.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Cam had just returned afterpleting a round of horseback riding.
“Let’s head home. I’m so tired,” Christina said to her two children.
“Okay, let’s go home.” It was almost evening, and the children were quite tired too.
Lucas and Cam turned around and scanned the ce for their father. Once they spotted him, they
waved at the towering figure and shouted, “Hurry up. Daddy! We’re leaving.”
Nathaniel’s clothes were neat and tidy. No one could tell that he had just fallen. However, his hair was
slightly messy by the strong wind. A few strands of hair covered his brows, making his eyes look
deeper.
The children were exhausted during the journey home.
Having used up all of their energy, they could not wait to eat upon arriving at Scenic Garden Manor.
After dinner, Christina bathed the children, and they fell asleep before she could finjsh telling them.
As she looked at the two adorable faces, she wished that the blissful moment wouldst forever.
Christina pecked the children on their cheeks before leaving the room.
She then went to change into her nightgown in the bathroom inside the master bedroom. Only then did
she feel more rxed andfortable.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a strong masculine scent instantly filled the entire room.
Nathaniel ced a medical kit in front of her and said indifferently. “Apply the medicine for me.”
It was then that Christina recalled how she had managed to escape the ident unscathed. Nathaniel
had been there to cushion her fall.
She mumbled reluctantly, “Can’t you get the butler to help you?”
“The one who caused me to get hurt should be responsible.”
Nathaniel had just taken a shower in the guest room and was wearing his pajama. Swiftly, he raised his
arm and pulled off his shirt.
The man’s burly frame and toned back muscles could be clearly seen under the lighting. There were
also several open injuries caused by pebble abrasion on his back. Those wounds looked rtively
more serious because they were not treated in time.
When Christina saw his wounds, her heart of stone was immediately reced with a heart of flesh.
“Sit down.”
Nathaniel obliged and sat down with his back facing her
Christina took the alcohol swab and disinfected his wounds. The very high concentration of alcohol
gave Nathaniel a tingling sensation the moment it came into contact with his skin.
Normally, Nathaniel would have kept silent. However, he wanted to attract Christina’s attention at that
moment.
“Ouch! Not so hard,” he muttered.
Christina was rather upset when she stared at those horrible wounds because she had channeled all
her attention to settle scores with the culprit in the afternoon and neglected Nathaniel
I dyed it for so long, causing his injuries to be so serious…
“Bear with it for a while. That’s how disinfecting a wound feels like. If the wounds are not cleaned.
thoroughly, you may run a temperature and get sick easily.”
Christina became more gentle. She blew at the wounds right after applying the medicine with the
hopes. that she could lessen his pain.
Thest step was to bandage the wound with gauze to prevent it from sticking to the clothes.
“All right, you can go out now,” Christina said indifferentlywhile packing the medical kit.
When she recalled what happenedst night, she became so annoyed that she wanted to pull her hair
out. She would never allow the same incident to happen again.
Nathaniel did not want to leave at all. He gently hugged her waist from the back and asked, “I’m very
tired today. Could you please let me stay here for one night?”
His voice was thready, making him sound like a beast that had just woken up from a good sleep, meek
and harmless.
Christina tried her best to break free from his embrace. “There are tens of rooms in Scenic Garden
Manor. You can sleep in any one of them if you like. Now, please leave.”
She was resolute, leaving no room for discussion.
Nathaniel was puzzled. When did she be so cold?In the past, Christina would have stayed up in
the study to apany me, and she would have ended up dozing off on myp by the time I finished
working. Back then, she was very gentle, obedient, and clingy. Conversely, we’re like two mas of
the same poles now. The closer I get, the farther she stays away from me.
Nathaniel disregarded her, then shamelessly carried her and strode to the bed.

“Let go of me! Are you trying to be a jerk again?”
Nathaniel’s embrace grew tighter when they fell onto the bed.
Christina could hear his heart thumping loudly while her heart raced rapidly alongside his.
Nathaniel buried his head in her neck and said in a low voice, “Don’t move. My back hurts, and the
wounds will bleed…”
