Chapter 24 One-Hundred Dollar Bill
Emelia’s disregard made Julian very angry.
Her temper grew much worse after divorce that she dared not answer him.
Had she even lost the basic manners?
Besides, apart from their relationship before, wasn’t she afraid he would make trouble for her?
With his rank and his power, he can make her not to established herself in this society.
Well.
She was really a person who has never worked hard in society. She didn’t even understand the basic rules of survival in the workplace.
With such a character, she will have to suffer a lot in the future.
At that time, she will certainly regret giving up her identity as Mrs. Hughes. He gave her everything except love at the beginning. She and her lousy father and brother can have comfortable and wealthy lives.
Thinking of this, Julian remembered that Emelia had asked for a divorce in front of so many people, which made him feel humiliated. Rage bubbled just below the surface of his mind. He drove faster and faster.
Seeing him speeding up, Emelia warned him, “Mr. Julian, aren’t you afraid of an accident?”
Her reminder calmed Julian for a few minutes, and the speed slowed down.
He sneered and said, “Are you afraid of death?”
“A rich man like you is not afraid of death. What should I be afraid of?”, Emelia said with relaxed tone. “But it’s inappropriate to die with me. It’s worth remembering to die with your loved one, isn’t it?
Julian was irritated by her words again. If he hadn’t thought of the injury on her arm, he would let her get out of the car immediately.
They arrived at the hospital in such an unpleasant atmosphere. Julian led Emelia directly to find Arthur Hudgens, Julian ‘s friend and famous surgeon.
When Arthur saw the woman, he exclaimed on the spot, “Emelia?”
Like Ezra Cantillo, Arthur knew almost everything about the past of Julian and Emelia, so he was so surprised to see the two divorced people appear in his office at the same time.
Emelia said bluntly, “Hi, Doctor Hudgens, please help me see if there is anything wrong with my injury. I was scalded by hot coffee.”
Arthur quickly recovered himself and replied, “OK, OK.”
After carefully checking Emelia’s white wrist for a long time, Arthur said, “It’s not a big deal. Fortunately, the coffee has been bought for some time, and the heat has dropped a lot. So it doesn’t hurt the inner layer of the skin, it won’t blister or leave scars, but it will be red and tingling for a few days.”
“I’ll give you some ointment to relieve the tingling.”
Arthur was very professional in seeing a doctor. Emelia nodded and said, “OK, thank you.”
After Arthur prescribed her medicine, Emelia got up and planned to leave, completely ignoring Julian standing aside.
But she just took a step and paused, then took out a hundred dollars bill from her bag.
She walked up to Julian, slipped that one-hundred dollar bill into his shirt pocket and said, “Mr. Hughes, thank you for bringing me to the hospital just now. Here is the fare. Keep the change.”
Emelia ignored Arthur’s dropped jaw and Julian’s gloomy look, and turned away.
Emelia knew Julian wouldn’t accept her money, so she stuffed it directly into him.Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
She didn’t want to owe him half a cent.
Arthur looked at their interaction and felt as if he were dreaming.
Having not seen Emelia for a year, Arthur felt that Emelia has undergone a personal transformation. She was more alienated than over, which made him feel unfamiliar with her.
