Chapter 473
Carlisle tugged Sean's arm with his other hand to get him to stand.
Unfortunately, his left arm didn't have much strength.
He could not budge Sean at all, as he was over 150 pounds.
"Thank you, Carl!"
Sean groveled to him on the floor.
His forehead rubbing against the floor sounded grim, and everyone in the hall could hear it.
"You idiot. Get up!"
Carlisle looked meaningfully at Gareth.
Gareth immediately understood and hauled Sean to his feet.
Sean wiped away the tears and snot on his face.
When he saw the blood bag being filled, his tears flowed even more thickly.
He felt that none of this would have ever happened if he hadn't argued with Lily.
Carlisle had had to give so much blood because of his mistake.
He was filled with regret.
Carlisle looked at Sean's swollen face and asked, "Who hit you?"
Gareth interrupted.
"He did it himself!"
Carlisle rolled his eyes.
"Calling you an idiot would be an insult to idiots. Stop trying to be macho! It's not embarrassing to be afraid of your girlfriend!"
It was apparent that Sean was very fond of Lily.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
He had simply been putting on a tough act after drinking.
Was it worth it?
However, in this era, most men upheld traditional masculine values.
It had only been 20 years after the previous, more conservative era.
Most of the workforce at this time were men.
As the country's culture and standard of life were still very backward, there was a severe lack of gender equality, and most people held very traditional values.
This would change as the country progressed, and they would eventually disappear completely.
Naturally, traditional values had held sway for so long that they were practically engraved in people's minds. Even ten years into the future, there would still be many men who still acted with machismo.
"Carl, just scold me as much as you like. I really made a huge mistake this time!"
Sean was not angry at all about being scolded by Carlisle. He wished that Carlisle would continue reprimanding him.
Carlisle looked at Gillian and asked, "Are you Lily's roommate?"
Gillian hadn't wanted to pay any attention to Sean's friends. However, Carlisle had donated
blood for Lily, proving he was a good person.
So, she nodded and said, "Yes."
Carlisle asked, "Lily went out to look for Sean, didn't she?"
Gillian became angry again at the mention of this.
Her chest heaved, and she said huffily, "That silly woman was worried that Sean wouldn't be able to get back to the university after getting drunk, so she wanted to go get him. The moment she left the university, she got into trouble. She even refused to go to the hospital. I
She raised her hand as she spoke to slap Sean.
Sean closed his eyes and stood upright. He clearly had no intention of dodging.
Ultimately, Gillian did not slap him.
She said menacingly, "Don't come looking for Lily in the future. You're not worthy of her love. Don't even think that having money makes you so amazing because I know plenty of wealthy heirs. Some of them asked me for Lily's number during the bonfire night!"
Sean shuddered at Gillian's words.
He hadn't known anything about that.
Carlisle noticed Sean's expression.
Everyone grew and matured through challenges and obstacles.
He hoped that Sean would become more mature and reliable from this.
After all, Sean had to shoulder the responsibility for Alumni Network.
40 minutes later, the blood bag was full. Talia immediately took the blood to the emergency
room.
Carlisle waited outside with Sean and the others.
Sean was filled with anxiety, and he could not sit still.
Another hour passed, and Lily was pushed out on a gurney.
She was conscious and had received 12 stitches on her head.
Her head was wrapped in bandages, and the color returned to her cheeks.
Sean walked over to the gurney.
His voice trembled as he said, "Lily..."
Lily looked at him and pressed her dry lips together.
She weakly said, "I'm sorry. I've caused trouble for you again..."
Sean had saved her once, which was why she had decided to try dating him. Carlisle's
encouragement had helped, too.
She had been very happy with him, but he was now the CEO of a company.
The distance between them would only grow bigger.
She thought it would be better for her to leave of her own accord.
Sean had never imagined that the first thing Lily would say to him would be an apology
rather than blaming him for what had happened.
He inwardly cursed at himself for being such an asshole.
