Chapter 30
If it was the nurse's mother who came in at this time, Coralie might have refused it.
However, it was her father who came in.
"Why didn't you say anything when your wife scolded my sister like that just now? Why are you only
speaking now?" Wayne Chariott asked.
Of course, Wayne was not willing to let go.
Her sister had been wronged, and the nurses in this hospital loved gossiping. They kept bringing up the
topic that Coralie Chariott was a mistress.
He only hit the nurse that gossiped the most because he could not take it anymore.
"Yes, yes. But you saw that I have no control over my wife."
The police officer looked at the nurse's father and then looked at Coralie, saying "I have a proposal. Try
settling this privately. I think your brother needs to compensate for hitting the nurse. But the nurse only
has a few stitches on her face. It's not a big injury. Don't try to ask for more money. As for the
defamation... It's going to be very troublesome if you press charges. You will need to hire a lawyer and
attend court meetings."
The police officer tried to be a peacemaker.
However, he did make an accurate analysis of the incident.
No matter which side made into a bigger case, it was only going to be more troublesome for both sides.
"Yes, yes. I saw that my daughter's injury is not serious. It's OK if you don't pay the compensation."
The nurse's father said.
"We will pay for the medical fees. After all, my brother was at fault."
Since the other party had taken a step back, Coralie did not want to push too hard.
After all, it was wrong for Wayne to injure people.
"Well then, thank you." the man replied.
The nurse's father left after hearing Coralie's answer.
"Sister, I can be discharged soon. Mom's injury has almost recovered. Soon I can help with the chores
back home. You no longer have to hire a care worker." Wayne had enough staying in this hospital that
kept spreading rumors about Coralie.
If he continued to stay there, he might hit someone else again.
"Well, I rented a two bedroom unit. The two bedrooms are large and there is a small room next to it. I
guess you and mom can each live in one room, and I will live in the small room." Coralie told Wayne.
"There's no need. I'll just stay in a smaller room."
Wayne took the initiative and said.
After discussing, Coralie went out again and talked to the nurse's family. In the end, she gave them
10,000 dollars to settle the matter.
Coralie and Wayne went to their mother's ward.
At this time, Hera Jean had already woken up. She looked at Coralie and asked, "Coralie, tell me
honestly. Are the rumors true?"
Although Hera had no idea about Wayne's fight, she stayed in this hospital long enough to hear some
rumors going around.
"Mom, of course not." Coralie explained.
"No? You think you can deceive me?! I called Howard Schultz the other day, and he told me
everything!" Hera snapped.
As Hera spoke, tears flowed down her face.
"Mom, what did he say to you?" Coralie asked.
Hearing this, Coralie's heart skipped a beat. Howard had divorced her, and Alison Herman was
between them. He would definitely not lie for her.
"He said that both of you had divorced a long time ago. He also said that you married an old man in
less than a month after the divorce. He said that he didn't want to suspect that you had an affair, but
you got married too soon." Hera was really sad. "Coralie, why are you so stupid? Howard is a good
man. How could you be so shameless for the sake of money?" Hera scolded.
Although Hera loved Coralie very much, she was an old-fashioned woman after all.
The word "cheating" was something she could never accept.
"Mom, didn't he tell you the reason why he knows I am married?" Coralie queried.
Since her mom had mentioned the topic, Coralie thought that she might as well tell her the full story.
Otherwise, if she lied for Howard, she would also be flustered.
"Mom, why don't you trust sister? It's impossible for sister to do such a thing!" Wayne uttered.
Wayne felt indignant for Coralie.
"Mom, I saw him cheating on me with Alison, so I asked for a divorce. Then we later met at the Civil
Affairs Bureau. He and Alison got married that day! Why are you willing to believe in an outsider, but
not me?" Coralie explained.
To be honest, Coralie was a little disappointed. She always thought that her mother's old-fashioned
ways were not necessarily a bad thing.
But in this case, her mother would rather believe Howard and scold her for being shameful, than to ask
her directly what was going on.
"But you're still married, aren't you? Didn't you marry an old man?" Hera replied.
"The affair might have explained it, but didn't Coralie still marry an old man?" Hera thought and she
could not accept the fact.
"Mom, I can assure you that I didn't marry an old man, but the identity of the person I married is
special. I must keep it a secret. I hope you understand."
Coralie held Hera's hand and said in a serious manner.
She hoped that she could believe in her.
"Is that so?" Hera queried.
Hera still could not fully believe it.
"Yes, I'll tell you who he is when the time comes, but now is not the time. But believe me, he's not an
old man. He's very young, handsome, and suited for me."
Coralie said seriously.
She did not lie. For an excellent man like Skylar Holland, a woman that he was not good enough for
probably did not exist.
Unfortunately, their relationship was only for a year. She did not want her mother to worry about this
matter, so she had to hide the secret.
After Coralie came out, she completed the discharging procedure for Wayne and Hera. They lost most
of their belongings in the fire, so there were many things that they needed to buy again.
In the afternoon, she took Wayne and Hera out to buy some clothes and daily necessities.
They spent thousands of dollars in a short while. In the end, they could not carry all the items home.
They called for a taxi and filled the trunk with their purchases.
When Wayne was in the hospital before, he had asked for a sick leave. Now he was discharged from
the hospital, Coralie was planning to call the school on Monday to arrange for his return to class.
Coralie enjoyed the time spent with her family throughout the weekend.
However, when she called Wayne's school on Monday from her new desk, she got a different answer
from the school. "Someone reported that Wayne hit someone during the sick leave and caused serious
injury, which caused a very bad effect. So we have decided to expel him from the school."
The words were extremely shocking to Coralie.
"Someone reported Wayne's fight and caused serious injuries," Coralie pondered.
Coralie immediately knew who was behind this.
Who else could it be other than the nurse's parents?
She did not expect them to not let the matter rest after receiving the compensation. How dare they
report it to Wayne's school.
This made her finally understand the saying, "The kind people are always the ones who get bullied".
She let them off the hook without suspecting them as the cause of Wayne dropping out of school.
However, it was Coralie's first day at work. It would not look nice for her to request for a leave on day
one...
She gave it a thought and decided to apply for a leave this coming Friday.
After a while, Corrine Quincy, dressed in a tight black uniform, walked towards Coralie's desk and
asked, "How is it? How do you feel about your work? Shouldn't you thank me?"This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
