Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“Joke?”

James laughed lightly, his fingertips tapping on the tissue paper a few times, “It does seem quite wasteful to lay down tissues every time. Prepare your own cushion next time you come over.”

Jessica froze for a moment, then arched her eyes, “It’s cold and it’s warmer to lay a cushion. James, thank you for your concern.”

James gave a meaningful laugh. Coincidentally, at this time, the phone vibrated and he picked up the phone and did not say anything more about the cushion.

The car came to a stop in front of the hospital.

Angela got out of the car first, putting away those tissues into her pockets, then slightly strained to move the wheelchair down.

“I said I’d buy you two dresses, but I’m sorry I ended up making you do this.”

Jessica sat on the wheelchair, tilting her head and smiling at Angela, “How about this? The aunt my family hired is about twenty thousand a month, almost seven hundred a day.

You count one day today, and I’ll give you seven hundred later.”

“It just so happens that I’m short of money, so thank you, Miss Jessica.”

Angela forced herself to said. Jessica really had a million ways to disgust her.

She pushed the wheelchair towards the hospital. Jessica and James joked and laughed along the way, while she stood behind the two, just like Jessica had insinuated her, like a servant.

The hospital was crowded and the three waited for the elevator at the back of the crowd.

A few young schoolgirls cast glances back at the trio from time to time, chattering and muttering-

“Wow, this guy is really handsome. Oh, look at his face, his body, and his temperament. He is basically the hero in the idol drama!”

“His girlfriend is pretty too. She’s a good match for him but it’s just a shame that she’s disabled.”

“He is handsome and she is beautiful, but why is this wheelchair pusher in the back so pretty too? She seemed to be a housemaid hired by them.

It’s just that her clothes are too old-fashioned.”

When Jessica heard the word “disabled”, the smile on her face nearly couldn’t be maintained. When she looked at her right leg that could barely move, a fierce intent flashed under her eyes, but she quickly returned to normal.

James swept his eyes over the students who were chattering and frowned invisibly.

DING!

The elevator arrived.

Angela’s pupils crinkled as she looked at the people walking out of the elevator.

“Why do my brother and sister-in-law come to the hospital?

Are they sick?

Or does my brother’s wound from the car accident getting worsened?”

Greyson, his head still bandaged, was looking down and saying something to the airy woman beside him.

The woman listened carelessly. When she inadvertently saw Angela, her gentle water-like eyes brightened a little, tugged his clothes, and excitedly said something.

“Angela…”

Greyson looked up, and a touch of joy appeared between his handsome but somewhat riffraff eyebrows.

Angela shook her head at them, her gaze indicating the location of James and Jessica.

Seeing this, Greyson made a reluctant gesture of shutting up and stiffly dragged the excited woman trying to greet Angela away.

James took in the trio’s interaction and snorted cold. Did they think he was blind?

Angela didn’t notice his scowl, her eyes following her brother and sister-in-law.

At that moment, the wheelchair suddenly slid forward a bit, and at the same time, a woman’s cry of pain sounded close at hand

“Hiss!

It hurts … it hurts me!”

Angela suddenly had some bad premonition in her heart, and she looked at the place where the sound came from, just in time to see the wheel of the wheelchair pressed against the foot of the girl who had just said that Jessica was disabled.

She had known Jessica for so many years, and just by thinking about it, she had pretty much guessed the whole incident.

“I’m sorry, I’m really sorry!”

Jessica apologized in a panic with a worried face, “How are you?”

“Beauty, can you … move the wheelchair first … first, it hurts … it hurts me to death!”

The girl’s eyes were red with pain and she kept gasping.

“Oh, okay.”

Jessica hastily responded and anxiously said to Angela.

“Angela, move back in a hurry.”

Angela grabbed the wheelchair and stepped back, but a force stopped her, she didn’t move the wheelchair for a long time. The girl whose foot was pinned down and her companion wanted to curse.

James’s gaze fell on Jessica’s knuckles that were somewhat white from the force, pausing for a moment as a hint of sarcasm flashed across his dark eyes.

“Miss Jessica, please let go of your hand. You’re too strong for me to move.”

Angela said softly.

“Ah?”

Jessica hurriedly let go of the wheelchair and apologized to the girl with a guilty face.

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I was so nervous.”

The wheelchair finally moved out of the way and the girl sat down on her butt, taking off her shoes, her feet red and swollen and looking badly hurt.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“I’m really sorry. I apologize for my friend. She just saw her acquaintance and didn’t really look where she was going and she crushed into you.”

Jessica’s face was filled with guilt and remorse, “As you’re badly hurt, how about going to see a doctor and I’ll pay for the medical expenses.”

She took out her purse, drew a stack of red banknotes from it, and handed them to the girl.

Angela tightened her lips, her face ugly.

She hadn’t even moved the wheelchair just now. It was Jessica herself who had moved it, but even if she explained it, no one would probably believe it.

Even pulling up the surveillance wouldn’t help, her hand had been resting on the wheelchair and there was no way to explain it.

“I don’t want money.”

The girl’s head was sweating from the pain, and when she saw that Angela still looked dazed, she was furious, “Sister, you hurt me. Aren’t you even going to apologize?”

“Sorry.”

Angela clenched his fist and whispered an apology.

Seeing this, the girl became more and more dissatisfied, “Sister, it’s only natural for you to apologize to me if you didn’t look at the road and hurt me, right?

Why are you instead aggrieved and acting like a victim?”

“That’s right. You are so insincere to make the apology!”

“Look at this sister in the wheelchair. It’s not her fault and she is actively apologizing. What kind of attitude you are having!”

A few of the girls’ companions followed to help, and some of the onlookers condemned Angela.

Angela took a deep breath, suppressing the resentment and stifled frustration in her heart, and bowed ninety degrees and said.

“I’m really sorry for hurting you. I’ll take care of the medical bills.”

The girl was retaliated by Jessica because she said Jessica was disabled. But in the end, she was to be blamed. Killing two birds with one stone, Jessica was good at scheming.

“Don’t say I’m screwing you, and I don’t want more than that, so just give me three hundred.”

The girl turned pale with pain and was helped to stand up by her two companions.

Jessica hastily took out the money, “I’m afraid that three hundred is not enough. Here you go, this is seven hundred. Please take it.

Stop putting it off or I’ll feel sorry.”

She shoved the money hard into the girl’s hand and instructed Angela, “Let’s go.”

Angela pushed her wheelchair behind James and entered the elevator, only to feel as sick as if she had eaten a fly.

She had already guarded against a thousand things, but she still couldn’t guard against Jessica’s scheme.

Even if she didn’t want to, she had to admit that she couldn’t beat Jessica at scheming.

“Don’t give me the money, just considering it as your wage.”

After the elevator door was closed, Jessica said softly.

Angela hummed. She had said that she was short of money, so Jessica wouldn’t give her a single cent.

“What a great play, well-acted.”

After getting off the elevator, James said lightly.

“Interested in being an actress?

It just so happens that I know a few entertainment company bosses that I can introduce you to.”
