Chapter 219: Hit by Christopher
Christineโs POV:
I quickly tried to regain my composure, forcing a smile as I said, โSorry, itโs just a habit.โ As soon as the words left my mouth, I wished I could bite my own tongue. What did I mean by habit? Didnโt that clearly show I had already been fantasizing about him?
โChristopher, what are you doing here?โ I asked, curiosity bubbling up inside me.
He walked toward me, his steps calm but deliberate, and asked, โAre you feeling better?โ
Christopher is worried about me? I could hardly contain my happiness. Even though I was still hooked up to an IV, I felt like this was the happiest moment of my life.
โIโm fine, just some minor bruises,โ I replied, and only then did I realizeโhow did Christopher even know I was hurt? Not only did he not mind that I was an Omega, but he was genuinely worried about me. We had only met at school before, and I had been in one of his music videos. Did Christopher actually remember me?
Christopher looked at me and said, โIโm glad youโre okay. Iโm sorry, I wasnโt paying attention while driving and accidentally hit you.โ
โIf you need compensation, just let my assistant know the amount.โ
I was stunned. I had been hit by Christopher? What kind of crazy luck is that?
โIโm fine, Christopher; donโt worry about it. Iโm sure it wasnโt intentional. Thereโs no need for compensation,โ I said with a warm, gracious smile.
After hearing this, Christopher was silent for a moment, his brow furrowing as he insisted, โYou donโt have to do this. Hitting you was my fault. If you need anything, just let me know.โ
Seeing how serious and earnest he was, I couldnโt help but laugh. โReally, Iโm fine. Besides, Iโm not trying to scam you.โ
โChristopher, donโt take it to heart. If you still feel bad, how about I add you on WhatsApp? I can message you if anything comes up.โ
Christopher thought for a moment, then pulled out his phone and added me on WhatsApp. As soon as we finished adding each other, his phone rang. I glanced at the screen. The caller ID was Hayley.
โChristopher, Hayley is calling you,โ I pointed out.

Chapter 219: Hit by Christopher
Christopher swiftly put his phone away, focusing his gaze on me. โDid you tell her about what happened? About me hitting you?โ
I shook my head and said, โNo, I just found out it was you who hit me. I havenโt told Hayley. I assume sheโs calling you about something else?โ
Christopher grunted and said, โAlright, rest well. If you need anything, let my manager know.โ With that, Christopher answered the call and left the room.
Hayleyโs POV:
โIs something wrong?โ I heard Christopherโs voice through the receiver, so I got straight to the point. โWhere are you right now?โ
There was a brief pause before he responded, โIโm at the hospital.โ
I was taken aback. โAre you sick?โ
Christopher quickly denied it. โNo, Iโm here to visit a friend.โ
Since he wasnโt going to explain further, I didnโt press the issue. Instead, I said, โDo you have time tonight? I need a favor.โ
Christopher said directly, โYou can just tell me over the phone. I have two appearances tonight, so Iโm not sure Iโll have time.โ
Hearing that, my last hope evaporated. โWell, forget it. Iโll figure something else out,โ I said, ending the call.
Thomas quickly asked, โHow did it go? Did he agree?โ
I shook my head and said, โHeโs busy tonight. Itโs not going to happen.โ
Thomas shrugged nonchalantly and suggested, โThen maybe someone else would be better. Benjamin would be more suitable. Have you considered him?โ
Should I choose Benjamin instead? I looked at Thomas, slowly considering the idea.
