Chapter 30

When Christina rushed into the emergency room, Elisa had already had her wound treated and was being wheeled into a ward.

Christina pushed the door open and entered, "Mom, is this really necessary? Just because I won't go on a blind date, you threaten to commit suicide. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"You still know to come over. I thought you didn't care about me at all," Elisa glanced at her.

Christina was speechless.

She just didn't want to get married now; it wasn't like she had committed some unforgivable crime.

But she knew she couldn't explain this to Elisa.

"You are my biological mother, of course, I care about you. I couldn't just let you die. But marriage is a very important thing in my life, it concerns my future happiness. I can't listen to you on everything. I will come to see you, but I won't go to the blind date tomorrow."

Christina decided to make things clear.

If Elisa insisted on making a fuss, there was nothing she could do.

However, as mother and daughter, she understood her mother to some extent. Elisa didn't have the courage to really kill herself.

"Christina! Do you really want to drive me to my death? Do you believe I'll jump out of the window right now?" Elisa pointed to the window in the ward.

She even lifted the quilt, pretending to get out of bed.

Christina was at her wit's end, "Mom, if I go on the blind date, will you take care of your health and stop making a fuss?"

Before she could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the door.

Christina initially thought it was Raymond.

But when she opened the door, she saw a stranger, a man she had never seen before.

"Is Zachary Bennett here?" Elisa walked over and her face lit up when she saw Zachary, "You shouldn't have brought gifts. Just come in. Christina, go make two cups of coffee."

Elisa's enthusiastic attitude and Zachary's polite greetings made Christina realize what was happening.

This man was likely her blind date.

Since she refused to go tomorrow, Elisa had called him over today to meet her in the ward.

Christina felt a deep sense of disappointment.

She had rushed over out of concern for her mother, but this concern had become a tool for her mother to control her.

"Christina, don't just stand there. There are fruits in my bag, go wash them and put them on a plate," Elisa urged when she saw Christina not moving.

Christina said nothing and turned to do as she was told.

Of course, she wouldn't take this blind date seriously. As the nurse had told her on the phone, there were many ways to make a blind date fail.

Since Elisa didn't consider her feelings, she would do the same.

After washing the fruits, Christina went to make coffee.

She was already good-looking and had a nice figure. Now, busying herself around, she looked like an ideal wife and mother in Zachary's eyes.

He gave a thumbs up, "Elisa, your daughter is really beautiful."

"Today, you two get to know each other, add each other as friends, and go out for a meal tomorrow. If you both feel good about each other, let's settle things quickly," Elisa arranged everything.

She had carefully chosen Zachary, the only son of the Bennett Family. Although he was short and a bit fat, the Bennett Family was wealthy, and he was their only pampered son. Everything in his family would be his in the future.

Christina could enjoy a good life with him.

"Sure, my dad also wants to have a grandchild soon," Zachary agreed happily.

Mainly because Christina was really beautiful, like those big stars online, fitting his aesthetic perfectly.

He fell in love at first sight.

"This is the only coffee we have, make do with it," Christina quickly brought the coffee over.

Zachary's eyes were fixed on her, looking her up and down, becoming more satisfied the more he looked.

As for the coffee, he wasn't picky, "As long as there's something to drink, even water is fine. Come, sit down, let's have a good chat."

"Alright," Christina sat directly opposite him.

She first gave a brief self-introduction.

Just as Elisa was smiling broadly, Christina changed her tone, "You can see that I'm quite pretty, so I've had a lot of relationships."

Zachary's face turned a bit sour, but he said nothing, "Those things are in the past. As long as after we get married..."

"I had sex with someone when I was fourteen. Over the years, I've had many boyfriends, at least a dozen," Christina continued, lying without blinking.

She didn't believe Zachary could accept such a woman.

"Christina!" Elisa was almost furious.

Her chest heaved with anger, her face full of rage, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

She had just thought her daughter had come to her senses and was willing to cooperate with the blind date, but it turned out she was waiting to sabotage it.

How could Christina, so young, say such things?

She had no sense of shame!

"Mom, I think honesty is important in a blind date. Lying isn't good," Christina looked troubled.

She glanced at Zachary, then at her mother, as if making a big decision, "I'm sorry, I was just joking."

"You two are teaming up to fool me?" Zachary slammed the table and stood up angrily.

He had been polite to Elisa, but now he was furious, "You praised your daughter so much, but she's just a promiscuous woman. Luckily, I didn't get involved with her, or I would have been played for a fool by you two!"

"Fuck, a blind date? You think you're worthy? I'd rather throw these gifts away than give them to you."

Zachary cursed for a while, then grabbed the gifts from the floor and stormed out.

Only Christina and Elisa were left in the ward.

Elisa was trembling with anger, unable to control her emotions, she slapped Christina hard and scolded, "How can you be so disappointing? I worked so hard to find you a good match, wanting you to marry well, but you ruined everything with a few words. You might as well kill me!"

If Zachary spread today's events, which man would dare to want Christina in the future?

What had she done in her past life to deserve such a daughter in this one?

"You're really here to anger me. I should have strangled you when you were born, then I wouldn't be dying of anger now!" Elisa wiped her tears and kept scolding.
