Scarlett returned to the hospital, feeling complicated. To her surprise, she found Leroy waiting for her. “What are you doing here?”
Her demeanor softened slightly as she gazed at Leroy standing in the corridor. Yet, her facial expression remained frosty
Leroy shook his head at her question. After glancing at his watch, he looked up, his expression contemplative, “One minute.”
Scarlett felt puzzled as she processed the information. In the blink of an eye, a minute had slipped by. Suddenly, she suddenly began to tilt and tremble, feeling intense pain in her legs.
Leroy looked condescendingly at Scarlett as she tried to get up. “Ms. Payne, I’ve arranged for a wheelchair. I know this journey is challenging. The pain will last until the day after tomorrow.”
He appeared calm, but he was struggling inwardly. Reflecting on Scarlett’s earlier resistance, he chose not to help her up.
Scarlett’s face had already tumed ashen when the nurses on duty approached with the wheelchair. She remained silent throughout the ordeal, yet her demeanor reflected an unwillingness to surrender.
At the same time, she questioned Cedric’s honesty, She didn’t believe he would lie to her, but their memories made her feel that Cedric truly loved her.
Yet the photos shown by the board explained otherwise. Scarlett wondered if the images were real or it she was being deceived. Now, she was unsure of what was
The sharp sting of pain retumed, pulling Scarlett back to reality. She gazed at Leroy, shaking her head. She was determined not to let him witness her disheveled
state and insisted, “I’m fine. You all can leave now.”
However, Leroy disagreed. “I’m your doctor, Ms. Payne. I need to understand your condition.”
Scarlett’s expression suddenly twisted into a sneer as her eyes turned icy. “Dr. Olson, as you can see, I’m perfectly fine. You may leave now.”
Leroy glanced briefly at her. “Ms. Payne, if you don’t require any assistance, I’ll take my leave. Should you need anything, feel free to call the nurse.”
Having said that, he then tumed and walked away, with the nurses following closely behind him.
Scarlett frowned as she watched them leave, feeling her heart ache with each step he took away. The emotional pain was stronger than any physical hurt.
That night, Scarlett was emotionally troubled while Cedric grew more anxious at the villa. “Mom, we need to get rid of Leroy and keep him away from Scarlett.”
Valda was doubtful. “Do you truly believe that Leroy is capable of this?”
She shook her head as she recalled Leroy’s appearance. It was clear she doubted his capability of doing so. With that thought in mind, she brushed it off with a wave
of her hand
“Let me take care of this. After all, Leroy is a doctor. We simply need to focus on this to solve the problem.” A glimmer of confidence sparkled in Valda’s eyes.
Cedric slowly regained his senses and contemplated the situation thoroughly. He realized what Valda said was true.
“I’ll contact your cousin right away. She happened to be in Ashboume recently.”
Cedric was surprised. “Is she here too?”
