Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 536 Comfort

Sebastian was not surprised that Nathaniel gave that order.

Previously, Madison had set up a trap, causing Christina to fall into the sea Back then, the Taggart family had

pleaded with Nathaniel to let Madison off. On account of their friendship. Nathamel did not pursue

the matter.

However, instead of being grateful, Madison kept pushing her luck, repeatedly crossing Nathaniel’s boundaries.

It was time to put a stop to the woman’s nonsense.

“Understood.” Sebastian hung his head and stood rooted to the spot while watching Nathaniel and Christina leave.

A moment later, he turned and left the hospital.

Christina slept deeply for one whole day with Nathaniel staying by her bedside the entire time.

Nathaniel did not publicize the fact that Christina had been kidnapped. Instead, he lied to his family and the kids

that the woman had gone on a business trip.

Click. Suddenly, the door to the ward opened.

Nathaniel looked over and saw Sheridan entering the room, holding an exquisite fruit basket. “Im here to visit Ms.

Steele,” the man said.

As Christina was indebted to Sheridan, no matter how much Nathaniel disliked his woman interacting with another

man, he would not be rude and chase him away.

“Let’s talk outside. Nathaniel got up and walked toward the door. There was no warmth in his eyes, only a hint of

exhaustion.

Sheridan put down the fruit basket and took a glance at Christina, who was sleeping soundly, before turning around

and leaving the ward.

After closing the door, Nathaniel stood right in front of the entrance, as if he was silently asserting his claim on the

woman.

“How’s Ms. Steele doing?” Sheridan spoke first.

“She and the baby are both doing well. Thanks for asking, Mr. Stone.” Pinching a cigarette between his thumb and

forefinger. Nathaniel fixed his gaze on Sheridan and asked, “May I know why were you at the scene of Christina’s

kidnapping?”

The Stones were a reputable family that had also accumulated some wealth, but their influence was nowhere near

the Hadley family

Despite that being the case, unlike the heirs of other wealthy families who were always trying to butter Nathaniel

up. Sheridan stood firmly in front of hum and replied calmly. “I had something to discuss with Ms. Steele. When I

arrived at the entrance of Scenic Garden Manor, I saw Ms Steele getting into that tried to follow them, but I lost

them for a while after their car drove out of the city. Lonly managed to

track them down more than half an hour later. When I saw Ms. Steele again, she had escaped after knocking

Madison unconscious. You already know what happened after that.”

Nathaniel stared at Sheridan for a few seconds before asking. “What were you planning to discuss with her?”

“Mr. Hadley, since you don’t seem to know anything about it, I guess Ms. Steele has been intentionally. keeping it

from you. In that case, it’s better for you to ask her directly,” Sheridan replied, matter-of-factly.

Taking a pause, the man glanced at his watch before continuing with a smile, “Sorry, I have some matters to attend

to. I’ll be back to visit Ms. Steele again another day.”

With that, Sheridan turned and left.

Nathaniel fell into deep thought as he gazed at Sheridan’s departing figure.

It was already noon when Christina woke up.

After staring at the ceiling in a daze for a few seconds, the woman seemed to have suddenly remembered

something and put her hands to her stomach.

When she felt her baby bump, she heaved a sigh of relief. Holding back the urge to cry, Christina sat up slowly while

holding on to the edge of the bed for support.

Even though she was staying in a private ward, she was all alone.

Just then, the door was pushed open.

“Nathaniel Christina abruptly ceased speaking as Nathaniel ran toward her and pulled her into his

arms.

“You’re finally awake!” he exclaimed in a low voice that sounded like he was trying to suppress his emotions.

Nathaniel was hugging the woman so tightly that it seemed as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go

of her. Then, he murmured. “I’m so glad you’re awake. I was so worried.”

Patting his back gently, Christina comforted, “Sorry for making you worry again.”

“I’m the one who should be apologizing.” Nathaniel said, finally pulling away from the hug. With a self- reproaching

look in his eyes, he continued, “I shouldn’t have let you go out alone. I should have replied to your message

immediately. I shouldn’t-”

Christina quickly put her hand over his mouth, cutting him off. “What happened was an accident. No one could have

seen it coming. Nathaniel, it’s not your fault. Most importantly, both our baby and I have returned to you safely. We

still have each other in the days to come.”

She placed her hand on the back of Nathaniel’s hand and interlaced her fingers with his before continuing. “Now

that we have gotten through the crisis, don’t you think we should cherish what we have even more?”

Christina keenly noticed that Nathaniel was suffering internally because of what happened to her, and she knew

that she was the only one who could cheer him up.

Nathaniel instantly felt better after hearing Christina’s words. Holding her hand tightly, he replied. “You’re right. I

should stop blaming myself. If I continue dwelling on it, I would just be trapped in a dark abyss.”

Taking a pause, he carried on in a gentle voice, “You have slept for one whole day. What do you feel like cating? I’ll

get someone to buy and deliver it here. The doctor said that you have to be hospitalized and kept under

observation for another two days to make sure that the fetus is not affected.”

Christina smiled and replied, “I don’t have any cravings. I just want you to stay with me.”

She was aware that she had become more clingy, but she just could not control herself. Even so, Nathaniel was not

the slightest bit annoyed. It was a change he welcomed with open arms.

He was glad that he was irreplaceable in Christina’s heart.

“I will always be by your side.” Nathaniel planted a kiss on the crease between Christina’s brows before taking out

his phone to text Sebastian, instructing him to deliver some food over.

Looking at the man’s face in concern, Christina said worriedly. “Did you get any rest while I was asleep?”

“I’m not tired, Nathaniel replied.

Not only had he not rested the entire day, but he had also postponed everything in his schedule.

He had not left Christina’s side the entire time. Similarly, members of the Taggart family had also spent the day

gripped by fear and anxiety.

Some of them had tried to visit Christina in the hospital, but their attempts were met with rejection from Nathaniel.

The Taggarts knew that they had to bear the consequences of the trouble created by Madison. Moreover, they did

not dare to divulge the details of the incident since Nathaniel was intentionally keeping it under

wraps.

Christina pressed Nathaniel down on the bed and said, “Take a nap

here.”

As the bed was too small, Christina almost fell off the bed after Nathaniel lay down. Reacting quickly, the man

grabbed her waist and said helplessly. “I’m not tired.”

There was no way Christina was going to believe that after seeing the obvious dark eye circles below his

eyes.

Pouting, she snuggled into the man’s arms, leaning her face against his chest.

“Just treat it as if you’re accompanying me.”

“All right,” Nathaniel finally agreed.

The tension in Nathaniel’s nerves dissipated as he caught a whiff of Christina’s familiar fragrance. Moments later, a

wave of exhaustion washed over him, and he drifted into a peaceful slumber.

A while later, Sebastian arrived at the ward with the food. When he saw the heartwarming scene inside, he froze

for a moment before quietly stepping out.

The phone in his pocket rang continuously as he waited patiently outside the ward, but he did not even bother to

take a glance at it.

Over the past two days, the number of calls he received from the Taggart family was more than the total

number of calls he had received from them over the past decade.

The Taggart family was thrown into a panic Madison had fallen into Nathaniel’s hands. As Nathaniel was not willing

to meet them, they decided to approach Sebastian instead, hoping to persuade him to

intercede on their behalf and put in a good word for Madison.

However, that was completely unrealistic!
