Chapter 163
The nurse spoke cautiously. After all, she was not talking to an ordinary man.
“How did this happen?” Christopher’s confused voice asked.
The nurse’s face turned pale, feeling petrified as she explained, “I-I’m not sure about that. The doctor’s initial diagnosis is that she got too exhausted from her miscarriage and experienced some trauma later on. Hence, her heavy blood loss. Although, didn’t the doctor advise her to get some rest after her miscarriage? How could this have happened…”
Christopher suddenly plopped onto the bench as he pleaded, “S-Save her, please. I can do anything as long as she stays alive.”
I only wanted her to yield. Why did she insist on torturing herself like that?
Jodie sensed something was wrong with the conversation. Thus, she asked, “What? She got too exhausted? Meg did work a few days after getting discharged from the hospital, but she only did office work, nothing intense. How can she get exhausted from that? As for the trauma, she accidentally fell when she came to meet me earlier.”
The nurse dared not say anything as she had no idea what was going on. Naturally, Christopher kept quiet as well out of guilt.
Suddenly, a few ferocious-looking men came forward. They surrounded Christopher and barked, “Hey, how dare you run away just like that after hitting our car? Were you rushing to the hospital to visit a dead relative or something?”
Although Jodie was not fond of Christopher, she didn’t want to see her best friend’s husband getting scolded by strangers. Hence, she retorted, “What nonsense do you think you’re spouting? Do you want
me to punch the living daylights out of you? All this guy did was hit your car. How much do you want? We can pay you, so don’t start a ruckus here!”
Christopher’s expression turned ice-cold. He had rushed out of the house earlier and did not even get changed. Naturally, he left his phone and wallet at home in his haste. All he had was his car keys at the moment.
Unbothered by those men, he snatched the phone from Jodie and dialed a number before curtly saying, “Send money to Wellness Hospital now.”
Upon seeing Christopher’s aloof demeanor, the men started teasing, “Hah! How
arrogant of you to ask someone to send money over now! What business are you doing? Since you’re so rich, you can pay for the total cost of my new Audi. Luckily I followed you here, or I’d have to suffer a significant loss! You’ve wrecked my new car and frightened us badly, so you have to compensate for the psychological trauma experienced too!”
Christopher lifted his head to glare sharply at the man who was speaking. He snarled, “Shut up. Lower your voice so that we don’t disturb those in the operating theatre. However, I will compensate you once the money gets here, so you can ask for anything you want.”
That startled the man. His voice softened to a mere squeak as he spoke. “I-I would’ve beaten you up if we weren’t in the hospital now. Fine! I’ll wait here and see if anyone actually sends money to save you!”
Jodie rolled her eyes. In her perspective, those men were out of their minds. Not only did they have no idea about Christopher’s affluent identity, but they also kept testing his limits.
It was not long before Noah rushed to the hospital with a few bodyguards. The ferocious-looking men began feeling petrified upon seeing the newly arrived group.
Noah had been working for Christopher for many years; All it took was one word from the latter, and Noah would immediately know what to do.
Christopher took an unfilled check from Noah and threw it to those men. “Write down whatever figure you want.”
Those men were initially petrified. However, after listening to Christopher’s words, they assumed that he was a coward who didn’t want any problems. Hence, they smugly wrote a figure that seemed absurd enough in their eyes. They even boldly stated, “By the way, dude, we’re not cheating your money. After paying for the damages to my car, the rest is compensation to the emotional damage you caused us. It’s a reasonable figure.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
