Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 522 Where Are You

The doctor said, “Miss, don’t be hasty. You can’t get out of bed yet in your current condition.”

Given Christina’s weakened state, getting out of bed to make a phone call was indeed a little difficult.

“In that case, can you help me contact my family?” Christina was also aware of her condition, so she contemplated briefly and decided to write down Nathaniel’s phone number.

Vito received the phone number from Christina and turned around to exit the clinic, heading toward the village chief’s house.

“Vito, where are you going?” Halfway there, Vito was stopped by his sixty-something-year-old mother. Miriam Landry.

Everyone in the village knew that Vito had brought Christina back three days ago.

Vito replied cheerily, “Mom, she’s awake!”

Hearing that, Miriam understood that the girl Vito had found had woken up.

At the thought that the pretty-looking girl had survived, Miriam was thrilled too. “Since she’s awake, why aren’t you keeping her company? Why are you running around?”

Vito honestly answered Miriam’s question by informing her of Christina’s wish to contact her family member.

After Miriam heard that, her expression darkened slightly. She pondered briefly before saying, “There’s no rush to contact her family. We live on an island, so even if we manage to get in touch with them, her family won’t be able to arrive here at once anyway. Why don’t we wait until her condition improves before making the call?”

Vito didn’t understand why Miriam would say that, but her words did sound logical.

Conch Village was on an island. Everyone there made their living by fishing. Usually, not many people left or came to the island. Not to mention, its location was remote and hard to find, requiring one to look for someone familiar with the area to lead the way if one wished to visit the place.

Vito had found Christina clinging to a reef on his way back from selling fish.

“Let’s do this instead. Since she’s awake, why don’t you go home and make some soup and oatmeal? She must be hungry,” Miriam suggested upon sensing Vito’s compliance.

Vito nodded and turned around to head home while Miriam made her way toward the clinic.
