Chapter 31"Are you sure that this is the right thing to do?" Meg said following Christine throughout the streets of London. She tried to quicken her pace to follow her friend but even found that extremely difficult.
"I'm positive,' she replied.
"After all this, you really want to go back to Paris and find Erik?"
"Yes."
The streets were carried with heavy fog and the sound of beggars and merchants came from all around them. Life still was poor and people were beginning to lose hope for the better life. Nor did it help that so many upper class people had a lack of respect for any in a class lower than theirs.
It was still sunny and the day seemed to be full of hope for their quick and unexpected escape. The two of them had thought about escaping at night but then became worried for many reasons. One of them was due to Raoul's return. Another the watchful eyes of Madame Giry. And lastly, any guests that may visit upon the Vicomte's return which would definitely caught a stir..
Christine figured that the quicker and sooner they got out the less the chance of being, caught, found, or anything else dreadful that may happen to them.
"I can't stay here," Christine started, "I must return. I-."
Christine then suddenly feeling a sharp pain in her stomach. She leaned forward and held herself against a wall while she gave herself a moment to calm down from the pain.
"Christine!" Meg exclaimed as she quickly rushed to her dear friend's aid.
"I'm alright Meg," Christine struggled, "Just leave me be." Christine then took a deep breath and tried to remain calm.
After a moment, Christine tried to stand right back up but again there was another sharp pain and she held herself against the outside wall of the building once again.
"Christine, you're sick!" Meg exclaimed a second time with an alarming sound of fear.
"Meg. I'm fine. I'm…" Christine said about to fall and loosing balance.
"We must take you to the doctor," Meg said helping her friend up and going through the streets desperately seeking help.
