Chapter 245
Cristina paused, looking at Neil’s face. Neil, in his fifties, had some graying temples due to stress. Yes,
if Neil woke up, she and her two kids would be out on the streets and the entirepany would belong
to Maja.
“Don’t worry, you’re still Neil’s wife. If something happens to him, thepany will be yours. No one
can threaten your position.”
Cristina was somewhat swayed by his words.
Carter’s eyes flickered, he walked up to her, cupped her face, and said, “And don’t you enjoy being with
me? I can satisfy you, we’ll have money. and I’ll treat Glenn and Tricia well.”
Cristina was moved by Carter’s words and let go of his arm. Carter stood up, dragging Nell to the top of
the staircase. He nned to push Neil down the stairs.
Given that Neil was already in thete stages of liver cancer and had just endured a shock, a fall from
here would likely and his life. Cristina couldn’t bear to watch and turned around, her body shaking.
Carter kicked Neil down the stairs. Neil fell from the high ce, his forehead hitting something sharp
and immediately starting to bleed Carter waited for ten minutes, making sure that Neil was barely
breathing before he pulled out Cristina’s phone
“You need to call an ambnce now. You must get him to a hospital, otherwise Maja will get
suspicious.”
Cristina, shaking, took the phone. She was a mess. Carter held her tightly. “Pull yourself together. You
have to act like nothing happened, or it will all fall apart!”
Cristina’s face turned pale, her lips trembling. “Alright.”
Carter took a deep breath, and went into the bedroom to get his coat.
“I have to leave. It’s the best way to avoid suspicion.”
Cristina immediately called an ambnce, getting Neil to the hospital. Carter reminded her again not to
give herself away, as Maja was not to be trifled with
“Once the Pennyfeather family’spany is ours, I’ll give you anything you want.”
Cristina’s eyes hardened. For her kids, she must stay strong! If anyone was to me, it was Neil for
deciding to discharge himself from the
hospital today. He had iting!
30.m
Maja got a call from the hospital, telling her that Nell had fallen down the stairs and was in critical
condition.
All her exhaustion vanished instantly. She quickly put on her coat, her face turning pale as a ghost. She
had been to this hospital before and knew the doctor in charge, and that’s why he called her. When
Maja got to the hospital, she saw Cristina sitting alone in the hallway, but she didn’t seem worried.
Was she seeing things?
Cristina was clearly shocked to see Maja. Why would Maja be here?
Maja walked up, her tone icy, “Didn’t I already take him to the hospital before I went to Crystalbrook
Valley? You should’ve known he had liver cancer and let him rest in the hospital for a few more days.
Why did you let him go home?”
Cristina was flustered but recalled Carter’s words and rebuked back forcefully.
“Are you questioning me? Look at how much your dad has sacrificed for the family. If it weren’t for the
Raymond Corporation suddenly blocking the project, he wouldn’t be like this. It’s all on you for not
taking good care ofn! Because of thepany’s problems, he didn’t want to stay in the hospital and
secretly went home. I happened to give the servants the day off, and no one knew he went back. By
the time I found him, there was blood all over the floor. If I was anyter, he could’ve been dead!”
Cristina sneered, looking Maja up and down.
“You dare to question me!”
Maja didn’t respond, she just quietly sat down on a nearby chair.
Cristina’s fingers were trembling. She didn’t understand how Maja got here so soon. She was thinking,
if Neil could be saved, she would surely pull his oxygen tube. That was the only way to solve the
problem for good. Since she had done it, she had to make sure it worked!
Maja closed her eyes, only hoping that the door to the resuscitation room would open soon. Even
though she and Neil had many differences, he was still her father, her family who had been with her all
these years. After her mom passed away, she and her father were the closest people
If Cristina hadn’t appeared, their rtionship would have remained good.
Maja’s eyes reddened, but she held back her tears.
Cristina kept observing Maja. Seeing that she didn’t suspect anything. Cristina finally breathed a sigh of
relief.
Neil couldn’t survive. Otherwise, she and Carter would be done for. Her children would be done for too.
The resuscitationsted until 7 a.m. the next day, and Neil was wheeled out
Cristina immediately stood up, her voice trembling. “How’s my husband? You must do your best.”
“Mr. Pennyfeather has been resuscitated, but he needs to be in the ICU for a few days. If he can’t pull
through, then…
The rest was left unsaid, but everyone understood.
Cristina’s vision went ck, and she almost fainted. Her legs gave out, and she was caught by a
nurse.
“We understand that you’re distressed right now, but please hang in there”
Seeing Cristina’s intense reaction, Maja’s first thought was that she couldn’t handle the shock. Her face
was filled with fear, and thest bit of color drained from her face.
“You must save him, please. We’re willing to pay whatever it takes.
Someone supported Cristina to another room to rest, while Neil was pushed into the ICU.
Maja stood outside the ICU, not daring even to blink
A nurse noticed her flushed cheeks and reached out to touch her forehead.

“Ms. Pennyfeather, you have a fever. Sit down and rest for a bit. I’ll get you some medicine.”
Maja lowered her head and found some medicine in her bag. “Thanks, just a ss of water will do.”
The nurse immediately brought over a ss of water.
“Actually, it’s not much use for you to wait here. It’s better to go home and rest. We’ll keep you
updated.”
Maja did feel dizzy, but she was extremely worried about her father’s condition. She looked up nearby
hotels on the inte, but the nearest one was miles away, which was the one wheren had booked a
room.
