Chapter 193 Send Her To The Hospital

When Xander finished his sentence, everyone at the table couldn’t help but look at him.

Xander seemed to have noticed he had said something wrong, so he hurriedly added, “I don’t mean that Annabelle is not beautiful. It’s just that…”

The more Xander wanted to finish his sentence, the more he realized the problem with his words. Especially when he saw Christopher’s gaze, he stammered for a while, unable to explain himself.

Yuliana’s face was pale, and she silently ate the dishes in the bowl.

Christopher glanced at Yuliana from the corner of his eyes before he shot Xander a stern look. “Do you want me to get a needle to sew your lips up?”

Xander immediately gestured that he would keep his mouth shut and continued to eat quietly without saying another word.

After dinner, the second and third branches of the Solace family got up to leave, as they had to go back home to prepare dinner for New Year’s Eve.

Winnie had prepared gifts for the younger generation, which were all in the room upstairs. She asked Annabelle to go upstairs to get them up with her.

Annabelle helped Winnie upstairs. The two remained silent for a while.

Winnie looked at Annabelle and said, “Annabelle.”

Annabelle hummed in response.

“Are you blaming me?”

“Why would I?” Annabelle smiled and said.

Winnie did not question her words. Instead, she paused and said gently, “You’re right to blame me. I did not handle your relationship with Christopher in the right way.”

Initially, she thought Christopher liked Annabelle, and she also doted on Annabelle a lot. If Christopher were to be together with Annabelle, Winnie believed they would make a perfect pair.

However, she was the one who got the wrong idea.

Winnie continued, “If I hadn’t forced you to agree to marry Christopher, things wouldn’t have gone this far. So if you feel unhappy, please tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself.”

Annabelle lowered her gaze and nodded with a smile. “Aunt Winnie, I’m fine. If it weren’t for you all these years, I wouldn’t be who I am now.”

When she heard this, Winnie felt a little uncomfortable. She knew those were not Annabelle’s heartfelt words.

“She’s keeping her distance from me after all,” Winnie mused.

Annabelle helped Winnie deliver the gifts to everyone. When Zofia took the present Annabelle handed her, she exclaimed in confusion and subconsciously grabbed Annabelle’s hand.

Surprised, Zofia asked, “Annabelle, why do you have so many rashes on your hand?”

At that moment, everyone was in the hall. They looked at Annabelle when they heard Zofia’s words.

Yuliana also looked over. She was not far from Annabelle, and she could see the rash on Annabelle’s hand at a glance. The rash spread from within Annabelle’s sleeves, and they were already several rashes on the back of her hand. The back of her hand was red due to all the scratching.

“What happened?” Gemma immediately walked to Annabelle and rolled up the latter’s sleeves. There were more rashes on her arms, which looked terrifying.

She frowned and looked at Annabelle. Then, Gemma immediately noticed that Annabelle had rashes on her neck too. As Annabelle had long hair around her neck, no one noticed the rashes in time.

Annabelle looked at the rash on her arm, stunned. She frowned and could not stop herself from scratching them “I don’t know. I felt itchy, so I scratched it. I didn’t expect to have so many rashes on my arm.”

Joyce looked over and asked, “It seems to be an allergy. What did you eat just now?” Before Annabelle could answer, her breathing became quicker, and she couldn’t stand still.

Christopher came back from the bathroom and saw the crowd surrounding Annabelle. “What’s going on?”

Joyce looked at him and said, “Annabelle seems to have an allergic reaction.”

When he heard this, Christopher immediately pushed the crowd away and walked to Annabelle. He saw Annabelle gasping for air, and when he glanced at her bare skin, he instantly noticed the rash on her body. His face darkened. He glanced at Annabelle and bent down to carry her. Then, he walked out quickly without saying a word.

The others could not react in time, and they hummed in confusion. When they returned to their senses, Christopher had already carried Annabelle far away from the crowd. The people in the hall looked at each other. Joyce and Layla were the first to react and hurriedly chased after them.

Yuliana stood quietly outside the crowd. She looked calm and showed no emotions as she watched the

scene.

Others came to their realization and noticed Yuliana. Some felt sympathy and pity for her, and some were gloating.

Christopher got into the car with Annabelle in his arms.

When Joyce and Layla caught up to Christopher, Layla grabbed the door and pulled Christopher out when the latter was about to get into the car.

She looked at Annabelle, who was curled up into a ball in the car, and said to Christopher harshly in a low voice, “Christopher, what the hell do you want?” Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Christopher’s face darkened. “She had an allergic reaction. I’ll take her to the hospital.”

Joyce remained calm and said, “I can ask the driver to send her there.” Then, after a pause, she added, “You are placing Yuliana in a difficult position by taking Annabelle away like this. The second and third branches of the Solace family are watching. How do you think they will treat her in the future?”

Christopher hesitated.

“Chris…”

Annabelle was so uncomfortable in the car that she felt she was about to suffocate. She kept scratching her body, but it did not help. Instead, her whole body was still itching.

She felt as though she would die out of itchiness.

Several faces appeared in her mind, including her father, Daryl Johnson, followed by Harry’s and Christopher’s faces. She felt as if she were drowning and desperately wanted to catch someone.

Finally, however, Daryl and Harry disappeared like a shadow, and Christopher was the only one standing there.

She kept calling out for him, but he stood there motionless.

“Are you going to leave me behind too?” Annabelle wondered.

“Chris.” She looked into Christopher’s eyes and begged desperately.

Finally, Christopher stretched his hand to her and dragged her out of the water.

Annabelle had a dream. Everything around her was a mess, and everywhere seemed strange. She ran forward desperately, and after passing through a long tunnel, she saw a ray of blinding light and someone standing there.

She wanted to see who that person was, but the light was so dazzling that her eyes hurt. She wanted to cry. but she still couldn’t see the person clearly.

“You’re awake?”

Annabelle’s eyes trembled slightly after she heard Christopher’s voice. Then, she moved her head in the direction of the sound. Her vision was still blurred, and she could only sense someone beside her bed. After a while, she could finally focus her gaze.

She moved her lips and called out for Christopher, “Chris.”

Christopher replied faintly, “Do you feel better?”

Annabelle lowered her gaze and said nothing.

Christopher waved his hand before her and asked nonchalantly, “Did you hurt your head?”

Annabelle grabbed his hand and held it tightly. She looked down at his hand and thought that this was the

hand that had pulled her out of the water in her dream.

It had always been like this.

No matter what happened to her, Christopher’s hand would be the hand that reached out to her immediately.

When he saw her expression, Christopher frowned slightly and drew his hand away. He said in a low voice, “The doctor gave you an injection just now. You should be fine after a rest.”
