Chapter721Unrepentant
Nathaniel’s palm could feel the warmth of Christina’s body through her knitted sweater. It was as if he
could already touch his unborn child.
As the frosty look in his eyes melted away, a gentle air descended upon him. In spite of that, he
remained firm in his rejection of her request.
“No, the doctor has instructed you to only consume nutritious food. You have to avoid anything that’s
too spicy, cold, or strong.”
Unable to fulfill her desire, Christina broke into a frown. “Can I not just have a few mouthfuls?”
Nathaniel stood firm. “No.”
Finally, Christina replied in disappointment, “Fine.“
Unable to bear the sight of her being upset, Nathaniel coaxed her patiently, “Once our child has been
born and your body has recovered, I’ll buy you anything you want.”
Even though Nathaniel had made simr promises countless times in their rtionship, it still worked
like a charm.
“You promised it. I’ll not let you forget what you said.” Christina gave him an earnest look.
“I’ll draft a contract the first thing we get home, Nathaniel answered affectionately.
A smile emerged on Christina’s face. “There’s no need to go that far. I still trust you enough to keep
your word.
If Nathaniel doesn’t keep his promise, I’ll just satisfy my cravings behind his back.
Although Nathaniel could read her mind, he didn’t expose her thoughts upfront.
He was more inclined to express himself through his actions. For the subsequent period of her
pregnancy, Christina’s diet became healthier and more disciplined under Nathaniel’s watchful eye.
Upon returning to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina went back to the bedroom to catch up on her sleep
because she had gotten up earlier than usual.
Once she entered deep slumber, Nathaniel headed to the office together with Sebastian to deal with
the morning’s backlog.
Despite Christina’s best efforts at covering up the news about Timothy, those who were keeping an eye
on him quickly learned about his movements after he had regained consciousness.
Azure, who refused to give up on her desire to meet him, was the first to visit.
Meanwhile, there were bodyguards stationed outside Timothy’s ward. Even after she told them who
she was, she was given the same treatment as Yerek—both were barred from entering.
Unwilling to let her effort ofing go to waste, Azure began to shamelessly kick up a fuss.
“I’m Timothy’s mother. What right does Christina have to stop me from seeing my own son? If you know
what’s good for you, you had better step aside and not waste my time.”
“Old Mrs. Gibson, we’re just following Mrs. Hadley’s orders, so don’t make things difficult for us. On top
that, we’re in a hospital. You’ll disturb the other patients by causing a ruckus here.”
Despite Azure’s desperate efforts to push aside the bodyguards blocking her way, they didn’t budge an
inch.
Just as she was panting heavily, an idea shed across her mind.
Her eyes subsequently rolled up as her body–slumped weakly to the ground.
The sudden turn of events caused the bodyguards toe forward to check on her.
She then opened her eyes abruptly and pushed the bodyguards aside with all her might. Upon
springing to her feet, she barged into the ward in a single breath.
Bam!

The opening of the door was so sudden that it woke Timothy from his deep slumber. Shocked, he
looked toward the entrance.
Timothy had never seen Azure in such a haggard condition. In fact, her appearance was so filthy that
he could barely recognize her.
Cognizant of their dereliction of duty, the bodyguards rushed frantically into the room to apologize.
“We’re sorry we failed to stop her, Mr. Gibson.”
Timothy didn’t me them for it. “Wait outside. I’ll talk to her.”
Even if Azure didn’t see him today, he would seek her out sooner orter.
After all, he had to personally put an end to certain matters once and for all.
The bodyguards shot Azure a hesitant look before leaving the ward. Nevertheless, they left the door
slightly ajar as a precaution for any eventualities.
It was a detail that Azure missed due to how focused she was on her uing charade.
“Timothy, I finally get to see you.” She walked up to his bed, teary–eyed. “Christina refused to let me
come in. A lot has happened when you weren’t around…”
Azure proceeded to rte her own sob story before shamelessly using Christina of being someone
cruel. To cap it off, she even indirectly begged for mercy on Nigel and Yerek’s behalf.
In response, the scowl on Timothy’s face gradually deepened. Right when Azure maligned Christina by
ming her for Anya’s death, Timothy could no longer hold back his rage:
“Enough!” he roared in a soft yet forceful voice before leveling a grim stare on the stunned Azure. “If
you barged into my ward and disrupted my rest just to hurl baseless usations against my daughter,
you should leave. You’re definitely not wee here.”
Azure couldn’t fathom what Christina did to Timothy to have him believe in a devious girl who preferred
to side with outsiders instead of his very own mother.
Even at that point, Azure was convinced that she could shackle Timothy with familial bonds.
“Timothy, I don’t me you for refusing to acknowledge Nigel, the brother whom you grew up with. You
can use me of ying favorites or not being rational, but you can’t continue to have your judgment
clouded!”
As if he could guess what Azure was going to say next, he pointed at the door and thundered, “Get
out!”
Refusing to leave, Azure continued stubbornly, “I have no objection to Christina taking over Gibson
Corporation, but there’s something you’re not aware of. She disregarded everything and moved Gibson
Corporation from Hallsbay to Jadeborough due to Nathaniel’s influence. In truth, Nathaniel is the one
running the show at Gibson Corporation, while Christina is nothing but a puppet. If this continues,
Gibson Corporation will be officially taken over by Nathaniel. Thepany you and your wife spent half
your lives building will be ruined by Christina’s hands!”
Timothy calmly replied. “When we first established Gibson Corporation, it was meant to be a gift to
Christina. Now that it has been given to her, she naturally has full ownership of it. Whatever she wants
to do with it is her decision and something that no one else has the right to interfere with.”
Timothy wasn’t going to tolerate those who maligned Christina to sow discord between him and his
daughter on the pretext of saving Gibson Corporation.
He made no exceptions even if it was his very own mother.
“Timothy, I know you resent me, but I’m doing this for your own good and that of Gibson Corporation.
There’s more to Christina than meets the eye. Considering that she is capable of murder, there’s
nothing else she won’t dare do!”
Staring coldly at Azure, Timothy no longer felt the urge to save someone who was unrepentant.
“You keep saying that you’re doing this for my own good, but your words and actions clearly
demonstrate otherwise.
