Chapter 429 Escape to Riverdon


    “Pardon?” Joseph needed help to grasp Christopher’s meaning.


    He knew Joseph’s disbelief and repeated, “I am not in Nortnd.”


    Joseph quickly asked, “If not Nortnd, where are you?”

    Taking a deep breath, Christopher knew he had to face it, “I’ve returned to Riverdon.”


    He stated it inly without further exnation, leaving Joseph speechless.


    Joseph lowered his voice immediately and asked, “You’ve returned to Riverdon? What about Fanny?


    Her kidney situation remains unresolved. Don’t you care about her feelings?”


    Suddenly, Joseph recalled the events of the previous night.


    He furrowed his brows profoundly, and without waiting for Christopher’s response, he questioned, “Are


    you troubled by what happened to Fannyst night? Is that why you’vee back to Riverdon to


    escape?”


    Christopher replied, “No, it’s not like that.”


    The timing of his return to Riverdon did coincide with the incident involving Fanny. It may have seemed


    like he was insensitive, even:


    However, he was indeed misunderstood.


    “Joseph, I am not neglecting Fanny, and I will and am trying to find her a kidney donor.”


    Before he could finish reassuring Joseph, he heard a cold snort from Joseph, “Why are you telling me


    this? If you truly care about Fanny,,

    exin it to her yourself!”


    Christopher was left speechless.


    Uncertain of how to face Fanny now, especially with the likely disapproval from his father upon his


    return, he found himself grappling with his troubles. Amid his concerns, he realized he had neglected to


    comfort Fanny first, a fact brought to light by Joseph.


    “Joseph, I understand, but my dad is a bit upset, so that I may need a few days-”


    However, Joseph abruptly ended the call before he couldplete his sentence. Christopher frowned


    as he stared at the disconnected phone.


    “Are you hungry, Christopher? Mom had someone prepare food.” Teresa’s voice came from behind


    him, filled with concern.


    Christopher felt a sense of relief. Although Teresa was overly concerned due to their long separation,


    he could sense her overflowing love.


    “Mom, I’m hungry,” he admitted.


    Teresa affectionately led him downstairs, “Come on. Mom will get you something to eat. Have you not


    been eating well in Nortndtely? You look so thin.”


    Having previously been assaulted by Florence’s associates, his injuries hadn’t fully healed. Luckily, he


    had worn long sleeves and pants upon. returning home, effectively concealing the bruises.


    Otherwise, if Teresa had seen the injuries, she might have been even more distraught, possibly even


    fainting at the sight.


    Christopher followed her downstairs and sat at the dining table, gazing at the spread of food and


    feeling a lump in his throat. “Mom.”

    Teresa sighed immediately, “huh?”


    “Mom, you’re so kind to me.”

    Teresa served him food, “I’m your Mom. Of course, I’m kind to you. I missed you so much and haven’t


    seen you in a while.”


    As Christopher ate her prepared meal, tears welled up uncontrobly in his eyes. His reaction rmed


    Teresa, who attempted to console him. However, instead of calming him, she ended up in tears.


    Upon Michael’s return, he witnessed the mother and son embracing and weeping. Having received the


    news shortly after Christopher’s arrival. home, he hurried back.


    “Why are you crying!? All you do is cry!” Michael strode over and mmed the table loudly.


    Christopher jumped in surprise and let out a few burps before turning to see Michael’s irritated


    expression.


    It had been a while since Christopher had seen his father. Although Michael had scolded him over the


    phone, seeing his father still made him choke out, “Dad.”


    Upon hearing that, Michael’s expression softened a bit.


    Teresa stopped crying but still had tears as she stood weakly and looked at Michael. “Michael, you’re


    back. Christopher must have suffered a lot recently. Can you not send him to Nortnd?”


    Michael nced at her, seeing that she looked like she could copse at any moment. He sighed and


    red at Christopher before saying, “He can’t go even if he wants to!”


    Christopher felt a chill down his neck from Michael’s re.

    Teresa shrank back as well, but instead of being concerned about the anger in his words, she cried and


    smiled at Christopher, “Son, you heard that, right? You don’t have to go to Nortnd. Just stay at


    home.”


    Michael gave Christopher a cold look and went upstairs indifferently, “Come to the study room.”


    Christopher knew that when Michael gave him that look, he was about to get hit by his father.


    Hesitating for a moment, he turned to his mother.


    “Mom,” he whispered to Teresa.


    Teresa protected her son like a calf and blocked Christopher, looking at Michael’s back and softly


    saying, “If you have something to say, say it here.”


    Michael paused, his expressionplex, but when he saw Teresa’s appearance, he sighed, “A kind


    mother often spoils her child too much!”


    In the end, the three of them sat down on the sofa.


    “Christopher has finally returned, so be nicer to him,” Teresa whispered, trying to persuade Michael,


    who looked fierce.


    He always liked it when she spoke in this gentle tone, and she knew how to use her advantage, so she


    was very good at it.


    “Me? Harsh on him? When have I ever been harsh on him since he came back?” Michael said, furious.


    Just the thought of the information Jonathan’s people gave him made him extremely angry.


    His son was audacious! How dare he provoke even the Shelton Family’s people! Not only did he


    encourage them, but he also offended them!

    The more he thought about it, the angrier Michael became. He mmed the sofa and said, “Ask your


    son yourself why he came- no, sent back!“,


    If he did not know that Florence’s people had beaten Christopher up and that his injuries had barely


    healed yet, he was afraid he would not be able to control himself from pping Christopher.


    Unaware that his father knew everything, Christopher looked at him, mming the sofa, and moved


    back in fear.


    Teresa felt sorry for him but didn’t forget to respond to Michael.


    “Why else would Christophere back? He must have yet to adapt in Nortnd. Ah, how long has he


    been gone? He’s already lost so much weight.”


    As she spoke, she gently touched Christopher’s face.


    Michael wordlessly threw the documents he had brought back into the bag beside Teresa, “Take a look


    at these yourself! Talk to me after you’ve finished reading them!”


    Teresa was startled by the things he threw at her, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized


    they were documents.


    “Come upstairs with me. I won’t beat you today!” Michael stood up and grabbed Christopher’s arm,


    leading him upstairs.


    Christopher heard this and followed along.


    Teresa also wanted to follow but was stopped by Christopher shouting up the stairs, “Mom, don’t


    worry.”


    She sat back on the sofa, worried about her son’s situation.
