Chapter 6 Be My Girlfriend
Bandons thought Jasper was just trying to scare the man umil the stretchet came.
Jasper walked over to him and whispered, “Mr. Geppard, please lend a hand. Be careful, the nurse might mess up and kill him.”
Ingrid didn’t hear what Jasper said, but she saw Brandon cautiously walk toward the Mercedes and supported the man’s head as it dangled against the car door. He was giving instructions to the nurse while his breath remained tense.
While it would take most people three seconds to get out of the car, it took the man five minutes to be carefully transferred to the stretcher. Brandon supported his neck the whole time, and as he passed by Ingrid, he exchanged a glance with her
Ingrid’s expression wasn’t any better than the patient’s. When they reached the door of the building and were left alone, she spoke up first.
“Dr. Clifford, I need to go to the police station and explain the situation regarding the man who has been harassing me while hospitalized
“Also, could you please give the department a heads–up? I’m worried the police might come to the department for an investigation. I’m sorry, Dr. Clifford, I didn’t mean to cause you so
much trouble.”
At this moment, Ingrid had completely set aside her concerns about becoming the head nurse she didn’t want to cause any further disruption to Jasper’s work or future.
Jasper’s expression remained neutral. “You don’t need to go to the pole station. That man won’t be reporting it. You just finished your night shift, so go home and test.”
Ingrid replied, “Ton’t be fooled by his current subation. As soon as he’s better, the first thing he’ll do is cause trouble for you.”
Jasper asked, “What if he doesn’t get better?
Ingrid’s heart skipped a beat. Jasper let out a light chuckle. “Just kidding. Do you think I’d kill someone in broad daylight?”
Ingrid didn’t find in funny Jasper added, “With Mr. Geppard’s skill, if the surgery lasts more than two hours, it’s definitely deliberate revenge. Of course, if the surgery fails, then it would mwan Mr. Geppard tries to kill him.”
Ingrid’s mood turned complicated. “Dr. Clifford, I don’t know whether to thank you on apologize This matter has to be resolved somehow. Tell me what I should say or do to minimize the impact on you. I’ll follow your lead.”
Jasper thought for a moment before responding “Right now, there’s only one solution.”
“What is it?” Ingrid asked.
You can be my girlfriend. If my girlfriend is being harassed, it’s only natural to beat the pay up with a good lawyer, we might even get him to pay us some compensation. Otherwise, my actions earlier would have been completely without cause,” Jasper said
Ingrid fell into silence.
Jasper stared at her expression, which alternated between red and pale, and couldn’t help but laugh again. “Isn’t this the kind of humor we have these days?”
ingrid’s face shifted with confusion. She couldn’t tell which of his words were serious. Seeing her section, Jasper stopped smiling, “Sorry, did offend you?…
She interrupted, “should be the one saying sorry.
- y. This has nothing to do with you.”
Jasper replied, “You didn’t ask for my help. I merely stepped in on my own. I’ve already thought about how to handle the aftermath before I acted. Sorry I didn’t give you a heads–up. If you trust me enough, handle this.”
They stood facing each other when some colleagues passed by on their way for the morning shift and greeted Jasper. “Dr. Clifford.”
Jasper smiled and nodded. “Good morning.”
As always, every colleague looked at Ingrid, probably wondering why she was standing here with Jasper soarly in the morning
Soon, everyone in Peaceheart would know that Jasper had beaten up a patient who had just been discharged, and lingid didn’t want any more misunderstandings.
She said, “I trust you.
Jasper smiled gently. “Thank you. *
Ingrid’s mind was blurred “So, what should do now?”
“Go straight, and then turn right,” Jasper answered.
Ingrid looked confused. Jasper continued. “home and sleep.
