Chapter 164
Christopher smirked coldly. “You can write a larger number if you wish. Also, you may include any medical expenses you’d like me to compensate after this.”
Before the men could make sense of his words, the bodyguards dragged them away.
Noah then placed the coat on Christopher’s shoulders and said, “Mr. Lewis, I’ve called someone to tow your damaged car to a workshop for repair. I’ve driven another one here for you.”
Christopher nodded. “I may have ran quite a few red lights. Deal with it at once.”
Noah glanced at the emergency room before asking, “Then, will you be all right staying here alone?”
Christopher waved to motion that he was fine. Thus, Noah turned around and quickly left to handle his newly-assigned task.
At that moment, a sigh came from Jodie. “I used to think you were too harsh on Meg. However, it seems like you still have some conscience. You cut the journey short by thirty minutes after learning she was in an accident. Then, you not only crashed your car but also ran several red lights to get here quickly. I don’t like how you handle things, but at least I know you care enough about Meg. The child Meg lost was yours. Ever since Jenson returned, Meg kept her distance from him and told him that she’s now a married woman. Meg has been nothing but loyal to you. Also, has Meg’s car accident gotten resolved? It was her half-sister, Megan, who caused her miscarriage. Is that bitch in jail yet? You’re Meg’s husband, so you can’t let Megan off
easy.”
A frown crept up Christopher’s face, but he did not say anything.
Jodie wisely kept her mouth shut upon seeing that. Little did she know that the Jenkins family’s driver had taken the blame, and Christopher had helped the Jenkins family instead of investigating Megan’s crimes. If Jodie had known, she would have undoubtedly beat Christopher to death.
When Christopher returned to the general ward, Jodie instantly volunteered to stay and take care of Margaret. However, Christopher pondered momentarily before declining, “No need. I’ll stay tonight.”
Jodie did not object as she had enough on her plate anyway; She needed to look after her mother, work during the day, and do part-time jobs at night. She was desperately short of time. After staying in the ward for a while, she bid goodbye and left.
Margaret woke up the next day. She felt someone standing beside the bed before she even opened her eyes. Fortunately, Margaret recalled that she had gotten hospitalized the night before. She assumed that Elizabeth was standing next to her and asked, “Elizabeth, please help me call the company to ask for a leave. I doubt I can go to work for a while.”
When there was no response, she slowly opened her eyes and saw Christopher’s slightly haggard face. Her heart skipped a few beats when she saw his pajamas and messy hair,
She did not know what had happened during the surgery. It was a shock to see Christopher, who usually paid attention to his image, appear at the hospital in such a disheveled state.
