Half an hour had passed and the door to the examination room finally opened. When the director saw Conrad waiting at the door, he looked around instinctively but didn’t see Jason.
“How’s my wife?!” Conrad broke the director’s search.
“Doctor Hall can explain it to you. I have something else to attend to.” The director didn’t like Conrad that much. He was worried that Conrad had harassed Jason again.
“You!”
“Mr. Maxwell.” Sally quickly walked out of the room. “Don’t worry. Fia doesn’t have any serious injuries from this car accident. There are no internal injuries or bone cracks. At most, there are a few bruises and cuts from the broken glass.”
“I want to see her!” Conrad pushed Sally away and walked in.
A doctor and a nurse were bandaging Fia’s wounds.
Her shirt had been removed and she was lying on her stomach on the hospital bed, her back completely red and there were still some glass fragments on her back.
The nurse was retrieving those glass fragments when her hand trembled when she saw the enraged Conrad Maxwell. Her tweezer tapped Fia’s wound by accident.
“Ngh!” Fia woke up from her pain.
“What are you doing?!” Conrad was angered. He turned over to Sally and said, “You do it! Tell the nurse to go away!”
“I was doing it before this, but you were making a scene outside just now so I had the nurse give me a hand,” Sally said and patted that nurse. “Go back to your station.”
“Thank you, Doctor Hall.” The nurse ran out with her head low. She was so frightened by Conrad that she didn’t want to help any doctors directly for a very long time.
“Conrad, don’t get angry.” Fia lay on the bed and looked in Conrad’s direction. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
While her sight was still blurry, she could see his white shirt and black pants. It was the same as what she saw in the rain at the scene of the accident.
She extended her hand toward Conrad with a smile on her face.
“Come here.”
Conrad walked over to the bed and held her hand. He looked at the bruises on her back, and he could feel his chest tighten.
“Conrad, I knew you’d come. I originally wanted to give you an emergency call when the driver wasn’t paying attention, but your call came in at that time.”
Conrad choked as he knelt down in front of the bed, He held Fia’s hand tightly and kissed the back of her hand.
“I’m sorry, Fia. I didn’t protect you.
“It’s not your fault. Fie was cherishing what sight she had at the moment. Despite it being very blurry as if she had myopia of 800 degrees, it was better than being unable to see at all.
“It’s my fault. Today is your birthday. I should have stayed with you today, but I wanted to come out anyway. That was why this happened.” She didn’t want him to blame himself when she remembered
how well he had taken care of her while she was blind.
Sally carefully applied the medicine for Fia as she glanced at Conrad.
It was rare for someone as cold as him.to show such a hurt expression.
She was happy for Fia.
This cold and distant man really did care for Fia.
Half an hour later, Sally removed her gloves and asked the other doctor to leave first.
She then said, “I’m done with the injuries. She only needs to reapply the medicine twice a day as well as some anti-inflammatory cream.”
“I’ll be here guarding Fia. Can you please help with the admission?”
“I don’t want to stay here,” Fia said with a frown, her expression was one of sadness.
Conrad patiently consoled her, saying, “Stay here to rest up for a few days, okay? I’ll accompany you every day.”
“Today is your birthday. I don’t want to stay here! That’s going to be so unlucky!”
“Fia.” Conrad kissed the back of her hand and gently said, “With you here, I can have my every day.”
birthday
Sally also chipped in by saying, “That’s right. You need to reapply your medicine every day. Mr. Maxwell is no doctor and he’s not as proficient with it. Your stay in the hospital won’t be too long as well. It’ll take less than one week!”
Fia agreed to it eventually. She then wanted to turn over.
Sally placed her hand on Fia’s shoulder and said, “Lie down like this. You’ll need to stay in this position for a few days. Otherwise, you’ll only make it painful for your back. Your injuries will heal
slower too.”
Fia pouted and said, “Fine.”
“I’ll go get you a ward. The nurse will bring you over later.”
“Alright.” Conrad nodded.
“Thank you, Doctor Sally.” Fia thanked her properly.
Sally patted her and said, “Good luck, Fia.”
