Veronica and Eleanor sat on a bench in the hospital corridor after paying the hospital fees. The police approached them for questioning soon after. At the same time, Melvin was pushed out of the emergency room.
Veronica quickly went over and asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is he?” “He has a mild concussion and some soft tissue injuries. He needs to be hospitalized for observation. If there are no issues, he can be discharged.”
The doctor briefly explained the situation to Veronica. Melvin, who was lying on the gurney, looked at Veronica and shook his head. “It has nothing to do with you. I will explain it to the police.”
Then, he was pushed into the ward by a nurse, and they followed along. After settling in the ward, the police, who were responsible to investigate the accident, and Veronica entered the room.
Melvin, whose head was bandaged, lay weakly on the bed and was put on an IV drip. “Are you okay?”
Veronica walked up and asked concernedly. Eleanor, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Melvin and said, “He shouldn’t have crossed the road without looking. It was his fault.”
Melvin glanced at Veronica and then at the woman next to her in a red dress. He couldn’t help but sigh at the sight of both of them where one exuded a cold vibe and the other had a captivating allure. It was a sight for sore eyes.
He thought to himself, Although Eviettepossessesa classical beauty, sheis just on par with Veronica.
However, if you take a closer look, Veronica’s features stand out more compared to Eviettewhoresemblest hatofan influencer which diminishes her distinctive ness. He wondered if Matthew would really be interested in Eviette.
“I’m really sorry, it was indeed my fault,” Melvin said with a guilty expression, then he turned to the police officer. “Officer, this has nothing to do with her. It was me who was jaywalking at that time.”
The police officer who was the lead replied,. “Although you are responsible, she should still bear at least ten percent of the responsibility.”
“No need, it was all my fault.” Melvin pushed himself up to sit on the bed with both his hands. He earnestly explained to the police officer and finally resolved the matter.
After the police left, Eleanor, who was sitting on a chair, raised an eyebrow at him. “At least you still have some conscience.”
Melvin smiled awkwardly. “Miss Murphy, right? I’m really sorry for the trouble I caused. It was you who paid for my medical fees, right? Let me pay you back.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand that wasn’t attached to the IV drip and reached into his pocket. His brow furrowed as he searched his pocket. Then, he said embarrassingly, “I’m really sorry, it seems like I forgot to bring my phone and wallet.”
Veronica looked at the man sitting on the bed, who spoke politely and acted like a gentleman, it was clear that he was a well-educated person.
She shook her head. “It’s okay, I was the one who bumped into you so I am also responsible too. However, you must be more careful in the future. It’s not every time you get to be lucky like this.”
Melvin lowered his head slightly, and a tinge of sadness appeared on his face. It seemed like he had some story behind this that he finds it hard to say. “I just wanted to chase after my girl… Never mind, it’s all in the past now.”
He waved his hand, as he hesitantly said, “I’m fine now, you don’t need to stay here anymore. Miss Murphy, can you leave your contact information for me before you go?”
Veronica was a bit puzzled and didn’t understand what he meant by that. Melvin saw her expression and explained immediately, “I just want to pay you back for the medical fees after I leave the hospital.”
“You really don’t have to.” Veronica smiled slightly. “Take care, we’ll leave now.” She glanced at Eleanor who was sitting on the sofa and left the ward together with her.
