Chapter 893
It was very normal for pregnant women to lose control of their emotions. They would instinctively look for the
person they relied on the most when they encountered something they were afraid of. Crystal was scared out of
her mind by the roaring thunder outside. Maria did not know if she went downstairs without wearing her shoes
because she could not find anyone upstairs.
Maria tried her best to comfort her. "Miss Evans... it's okay. Calm down first. Put on your shoes first, or you'll catch a
cold... okay?"
Crystal was like a frightened little animal. She probably realized that Maria was not someone she could rely on. She
slowly let go of her, squatted on the ground, and hugged herself tightly, making Maria think of the small hedgehog
that wrapped itself around its soft body with its sharp spikes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMaria realized that she was in a very unstable state. If there were any more stimulation, she might very well have a
mental breakdown. After hesitating for a moment, she called Harold and explained the situation in a low voice.
Harold said in a cold voice, "Give her the phone."
Maria did as she was told.
Crystal couldn’t say anything, so she could only hold her phone tightly. The man's voice came from the receiver,
"Don't try to use this trick to make me go and see you."
These words were too hurtful. Even Maria was stunned.
With a thud, the phone fell to the floor.
Crystal did not wear shoes and stepped directly on the cold floor. Her feet were so cold that they were a little
green. She looked at the mobile phone on the ground in a daze. Only then did she wake up from extreme fear. She
realized that Harold, who was very kind and gentle to her and said that he would accompany her all the time, was
no longer there.
Her face was covered with tears and she looked embarrassed, but she still picked up the phone and gave it to
Maria.
In the past few days, she had learned hand language from Maria. At this moment, she was extremely tired and
dizzy. She felt nauseous. She didn't dare to open her mouth, afraid that she would spit it out directly, so she could
only tell Maria using hand language. "Please tell him that I don't need him to accompany me."
"..." Maria agreed and conveyed Crystal's message to Harold. Harold hung up the phone without any reluctance.
It was raining heavily outside, and the thunder seemed to be ringing in her ears. The lightning lit up heaven and
earth for a moment, and the window glass whistled in the wind.
Crystal half knelt on the ground, covering her chest tightly with her fingers.
Her heart was very healthy and there was no disease. But at this moment, it seemed to have been pierced by tens

After a long time, Crystal raised her head and looked at the ceiling. It seemed that she wanted to make her tears
fall back into her eyes, but undoubtedly, she failed.
Maria frowned. "Miss Evans, please take care of your health."
Crystal wiped away her tears and made a sorry gesture. She slowly stood up with the help of the wall and walked
upstairs. Maria looked at her swaying back and went forward to hold her. Only then did she feel that Crystal was
cold.
She quickly brought Crystal back to her room, soaked her feet in hot water, and then turned on the air conditioner
to warm her body temperature.
"Miss Evans." Maria sat by the bed and said, "I will guard you here. You don't have to be afraid of thunder."
Crystal curled up in the fluffy quilt. Her hair, which was like seaweed, made her little face snow-white. Her rosy lips,
which used to be always ruddy, were also pale at this time as if they would be broken if they were touched lightly.
In fact, she couldn't sleep, but she didn't want Maria to worry. She still closed her eyes, but she didn't know that she
wouldn't wake up for a long time after this.
The pregnant woman's body was too weak. She had a low fever in the middle of the night.
