Chapter 159
Nonetheless, Harvey looked at the bright side of the situation. At least with Tony dead, he would never have to repay those millions owed to East Side.
Just then, Christina stirred in her hospital bed, her face contorted in pain as she mumbled something.
Irene immediately leaned in closer. “What is it, Christie? I’m here.”
“Help me… Please help me!” Christina whispered faintly. “I’m sorry, Andrew… I’m so sorry!”
Though she was just talking in her sleep, Irene turned to Harvey with a smile. “Harvey, she’s asking you to save her and calling your name! See? She’s thinking of your even in her dreams!”
Harvey’s heart leaped as he rushed forward to take Christina’s hand. “Don’t be afraid, Christie. I’m here. I’ll protect you from anything. You’re my everything.”
However, as soon as he grabbed her hand, Christina began struggling in her sleep. “You’re not Andrew… Let go of me! Andrew, Andrew, where are you? I’m sorry. Can you save me?”
Harvey’s face darkened instantly. The other Stevens family members shifted uncomfortably, as Christina was clearly not calling for Harvey–she was calling for Andrew.
“Oh, she’s just talking in her sleep. Don’t take it seriously…” Irene laughed nervously.” Dreams usually mean the opposite of reality!”
Yet, no matter how she tried to explain it away, Harvey’s expression only grew darker.
Christina seemed trapped in a nightmare, her beautiful face twisted in pain. It was not until Andrew approached and she grabbed his hand that she finally calmed down, falling into a peaceful sleep with a slight smile.
His touch seemed to chase away whatever terrors haunted her dreams.
Harvey watched the scene in silence, his eyes red with jealousy, clenching his fists hard.

“Listen here, Andrew,” Irene growled, backing down but still aggressive. “Don’t take her sleep talking seriously. You two are over! Christie and Harvey are together now. Know your place, and don’t get any unrealistic ideas!”
“Mrs. Stevens, your eyesight must have worsened from your old age,” Andrew replied calmly. “Your precious daughter is the one holding my hand, not the other way around.”
Irene glared at Andrew, speechless with rage, before storming out of the room.
Harvey gave Andrew a cold look and forced a smile. “Well then, Dr. Lloyd, I’ll leave Christie in

your capable hands. Money’s no object; Just make sure your service is worth it.”
Then, he slammed the door hard behind him.
Francesca scoffed. “He’s burning with jealousy but still trying hard to prove himself with empty words. Harvey is becoming more and more pathetic.”
She glanced at Christina holding Andrew’s hand and added with a hint of jealousy, “Hey, everyone’s gone, and Ms. Stevens is asleep. Shouldn’t you let go of her hand now?“
