Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 543

"We still don’t know the specifics yet. Are you her family? Come and sign this." The nurse had a small round face and looked young, but she looked serious as she took out a pen and paper, handing it to Lindsey.

Lindsey gulped and shook her head. "No, I'm the patient's colleague."

After that, Lindsey looked at her assistant. "Did you notify her family?"

"Yes, I informed them right after the accident. The family said that they’ll come immediately. Don’t worry."

“Okay.” After that, Lindsey walked to the side and leaned her shoulder against the wall. She looked solemn and deep in thought.

A few supervisors and department managers came later and briefly asked about the situation. They also got the same answer as Lindsey. The nurse just kept pushing them to get the patient’s family member to sign the consent form and made them all panic.

The family member of the store manager that got into an accident finally arrived.

It was a very old lady that had to gasp after walking a few steps as she held onto the wall. Her hair was white and she wore clean clothes, but her combed hair was slightly messy at this moment.

The old lady was panting as she pulled someone aside and asked, "Is my granddaughter in this hospital?"

The nurse asked what her granddaughter's name was and the old lady’s voice trembled as she said, "Lynn Zino. Has she been hospitalized here?"

All the employees of Hemera who were present saw this scene and collectively froze for a moment. Lindsey greeted her faster than the nurse. She held the old lady's arm and said gently, "Hello, you must be Lynn’s grandmother. I’m Lynn’s boss. Lynn was accidentally hit by a chandelier at work and is now in surgery, so you’ll need to sign the surgery consent form."

The old lady's trembling feet could not take another step because of Lindsey's words. She looked at Lindsey like she did not hear her clearly. "Miss, what did you say? What happened to Lynn?"

Lindsey's voice got smaller as she repeated herself, "Lynn was accidentally injured by a chandelier. I'm sorry. Our company is responsible for not checking all the safety hazards, which caused this accident. You can rest assured that the company will take full responsibility for any consequences."

Although Lynn’s grandmother was very old, she could still infer from Lindsey's tone that this was not a small matter. She stood frozen in place for a few seconds and her cloudy eyes were bleary like she was in a trance. She quickly came back to her senses and asked, "She needs surgery?"

Lindsey nodded and was at a loss for words.

"What do I need to sign? I'll sign it." The old lady was holding her cane with one hand while she firmly clasped Lindsey's wrist with her skinny and wrinkly fingers.

The nurse next to her finally saw the patient’s family and hurriedly brought up the document. She also thoughtfully pointed to the spot. "Right here, you can just sign here."

The old lady’s hand was trembling and could barely hold onto the pen, but she still signed her name on the paper slowly.

After watching the nurse disappear through the door of the operating room, Lindsey wanted to help the old lady to take a seat, but the old lady waved her hand. "Don't worry about me, I want to walk by myself."

The old lady broke away from Lindsey's hand and walked outside the operating room alone with her crane, then looked in through the frosted glass.

Unfortunately, she was too short and could only see the bottom of the glass.

Moreover, the frosted glass made it impossible to see anything at all, except for the harsh light that shone through the glass.

"No, no...It's not appropriate. I can take care of my granddaughter. You guys can go about your business." The old lady kicked them out of the ward with her crane and her kind face looked a little serious.

Lindsey and her group could not win her over, so they had to give up.

Before leaving, Lindsey instructed her assistant to settle Lynn's medical bills and the subsequent treatment fees under the company's name first.

"Thank goodness, she’s okay!" The assistant walked out of the hospital and reached out to pat her chest. She then complained to Lindsey in a small voice, "I was scared to death! I was so afraid that she'd die. Sigh, this girl is so unlucky."

Lindsey could not help but tousle her assistant’s hair. "Don't overthink it. Let's go. Where do you live? I'll send you home."

The young assistant blinked and felt a little embarrassed at this sudden offer by her boss to send her home. "Oh, no...there’s no need. Ms. Juhl, I'll just take the bus back."

Lindsey pushed her shoulders towards her parked car. "Don't be polite with me. You're a girl and it’s already so late. Tell me, where do you live?"

The assistant smiled cheekily and was just about to speak when Lindsey's phone in her purse emitted a soft pleasant ringtone.

"Wait, let me take a call first." Lindsey stood still and took her phone out of her purse.

It was a call from Shaun. He was probably calling to ask about the injured employee, but somehow, Lindsey’s heart jumped.
