“That I don’t know.” The neighbor shook his head, “I heard they moved overseas, who knows exactly.”
With that, the neighbor closed the door behind him, leaving Christine White alone and fuming outside.
Moving abroad?
She definitely didn’t believe that the Yu family had this ability.
Not to mention she just met Debby York today.
When she thought of Debby York, Christine White’s heart became a little tight and apprehensive, and she always felt that something was going to happen, and it was generally blocked.
She pulled out her cell phone and once again flipped through Debby York’s number and dialed it.
Unfortunately, Debby York’s phone is still off.
Christine White rubbed her hair in annoyance, put the phone down, twisted her head to look at the closed door of Yu’s house, and murmured, “Debby , where the hell have you been?”
“Ma’am.” Uncle Luise’s voice suddenly rang out from the stairwell.
Christine White looked down, “What’s wrong Uncle Luise?”
“Mister called and asked when you’re going back.” Uncle Luise replied.
Christine White flinched, “When did that happen?”
“Just now.”
“Right back at it.” Christine White replied.
Uncle Luise responded from the stairs, “Okay, I’ll get the car then.”
Christine White hmmm’d, then flipped over her phone to look at it, and was ever so slightly upset when she saw that there was no call or message from Baird Lane on it.
He had to ask her when she was going back, why didn’t he just call her, he had to call Uncle Luise.
That’s weird!
Unable to figure it out, Christine White bristled and didn’t think much of it, sliding her cell phone into her bag and holding onto the railing as she slowly made her way down the stairs.
An hour later, the villa arrived.
Aunt Lucy came out from inside and flew to Christine White, resulting in a thermos in her hand, “Ma’am, where have you been? What took you so long to come back?”
“I went to the hospital, what happened?” Christine White looked at Aunt Lucy curiously, not understanding that she looked so so anxious.
“And you ask me what’s wrong, the gentleman is looking for you and looks very angry.” Aunt Lucy reminded her.
Christine White’s heart sank, “Angry? Who’s he mad at?”
“Who else could it be, of course it’s you ma’am, as soon as he came back, he asked where you had been, that face and that tone of voice scared me to death, I’ve never seen mister look so scary, ma’am, you have to be careful.” Aunt Lucy said.
Christine White listened and began to feel uneasy inside, “He … Why is he mad at me?”
“I don’t know about that, I tried asking Mr. twice, but he didn’t say a word, so ma’am, I can’t help you.” Aunt Lucy looked at her lovingly.
Christine White barely tugged at the corner of her mouth, “It’s okay, I’ll go in and check it out.”
With that, she lifted her foot and walked into the villa.
As soon as she entered the living room, she sensed that the atmosphere in the living room was very wrong, gloomy and somber, making people feel depressed for no reason.
Baird Lane was sitting on the couch in the living room, his back to Christine White.
Christine White couldn’t see his expression at the moment, but from the coldness emanating from his body, she also knew that he was in the middle of an extreme rage at the moment.
She didn’t know what she’d done to make him so angry, and she hadn’t seen him this angry at her in a long time.
For a moment, Christine White didn’t know how to react, and the apprehension in her heart made her even more hesitant to step forward, so she could only stand and stop a few steps behind Baird Lane, and softly uttered, “Baird, I’m back.”
Baird Lane heard her voice and stood up from the couch, turning slowly and taking a step toward Christine White.
The resounding footsteps sounded like they stepped on Christine White’s heart, she looked at his frost covered face and subconsciously took two steps back, her heart inexplicably strained, “Baird, you …”
Snap!
Crisp slaps resounded throughout the living room.
Christine White covered her face and fell to the ground, her whole body was dumbfounded and her mind was even more blank.
Aunt Lucy, who came in behind, was also stunned by the scene, and after a long time, she rushed to Christine White and helped her up, “Ma’am, are you alright?”
Christine White didn’t answer, just looked at Baird Lane incredulously.
He … He hit her?
He had never hit her before, not even those three years of not treating her, but now he was …
Christine White’s body trembled violently, a little reluctant to believe this fact, but the fiery pain in her face was telling her that it was the truth.
Baird Lane literally slapped her.
“Why?” Christine White stared at Baird Lane with red, hurt eyes.
Aunt Lucy did the same, “Yes sir, why did you hit someone for a good reason?”
“Why?” Baird Lane returned to the heel of the couch and bent down to pick up a report on the coffee table, “Christine White, you’ve got a lot of nerve poisoning Grandpa!”
“Poisoning?” Aunt Lucy froze, then quickly looked at Christine White, “Ma’am you …”
“What poisoning?” Christine White let go of her face and yelled towards Baird Lane with anger and a few moments of bewilderment in her eyes, “What are you talking about, when did I poison Grandpa?”
“No?” Baird Lane sneered and threw the report in his hand in her face, “What’s your explanation for the fact that Grandpa suddenly vomited and even fainted right after you left the nursing home, and that the hospital checked for heavy doses of sodium nitrite from the pig’s foot soup that hadn’t yet been digested in his stomach?”
“Sodium nitrite?” Christine White was confused and hurriedly picked up the report on the floor and quickly checked it up, it was exactly as he said, there was sodium nitrite in the pig’s feet soup.
Sodium nitrite she knew, a chemical that was harmful to the human body.
In small amounts, you can experience vomiting and dizziness, but in heavy amounts, if you don’t get medical attention in time, you can die from lack of oxygen to your organs.
And on top of that report is a heavy sodium nitrite intake, which means that if the old man hadn’t sought medical attention in time, he might be … now
Unable to think any further, Christine White violently composes the report in her hands and explains with a pale face, “That’s impossible, I would never drug Grandpa, not to mention I don’t even have any sodium nitrite, and Aunt Lucy made the pig’s foot soup.”
“That’s right, I made the soup, and there’s no way I could have given Master these things, sir, could there be some kind of misunderstanding here?” Aunt Lucy also said.
Baird Lane clenched his fists in death, “Misunderstanding? You guys tell me misunderstanding, the sodium nitrite was in the pig’s foot soup, the pig’s foot soup was delivered by Christine White, and it passed through my hands on the way, could I have poisoned grandpa?”
“But I won’t either.” Christine White was in emotional tears.
Baird Lane growled low, “So tell me, if it wasn’t for you, this sodium nitrite would have gotten into the pig’s foot soup all by itself?”
“I don’t know!” Christine White shook her head violently, “I really don’t know what’s going on here, I swear I’ve never done anything like this before, Grandpa’s been so good to me, why would I want to hurt him, what good would it do me?”
“Yes sir, I can’t believe the missus would do such a thing either.” Aunt Lucy sided with Christine White.
Christine White looked at her touched, “Aunt Lucy, thank you for believing in me.”
Aunt Lucy shook her head, “You don’t have to thank me, but rather I really don’t think that you would do that.”
Christine White barely squeezed the corners of her mouth, feeling both a little happy and a little sad.
Happily, there are still people who believe in her innocence.
Sadly, Baird Lane, who is her husband, doesn’t want to believe her.
“Baird, believe it or not, I really haven’t done anything to hurt grandpa, I don’t know why it was in the pig’s foot soup, but I can take the initiative to go to the police, but before that, I would like to know how grandpa is doing now?” Christine White looked at Baird Lane nervously, worry for the old man written all over her eyes.
