Chapter 435
Eugene had gotten hurt at the construction site, and if he pursued this, Burning Star would have to take responsibility.
The look in Mélanie’s eyes dimmed as she asked the doctor, “How is his wound? Did he hurt his bones?”
“His bones are fine. It’s just that his wounds are a little deep, and they need to be sewed five or six times.”
Melanie pressed her lips together. She was thinking quickly about how to minimize the potential loss in this.
When Eugene rolled up his sleeve, a few cuts could be seen all the way down his arm. It was frightening to see the bloodied wounds.
The nurse was carefully taking care of his wounds. Eugene’s expression was cold, and his dark eyes made him look even more intimidating.
The nurse was an intern, and her hands trembled from fright. The cotton bud poked right into his wound.
Eugene grunted from the pain, and Melanie snapped out of her thoughts as she turned to look at him.
She did not want to admit it, but it was a fact that Eugene had saved her.
Melanie made a decision as she said carefully, “Burning Star will take responsibility for this. We’ll pay for your medical fees.”
Eugene looked up at her with his dark eyes. “Do you think I don’t have the money to pay for this?”
Melanie’s tone did not change. “This was an accident. I apologize to you on behalf of Burning Star.”
Eugene snorted, looking at Melanie like she was a joke. There was a frosty look in his eyes, and his tone was chilling to the bone. “If this was an accident, what about the next time? This time, it was me. Who would it be next?”
It was tense in the emergency room. Melanie was silent for quite a while before saying, “There won’t be a next time.”
Eugene did not say anything. The look in his eyes was still grim, and the pain coming from his hand frustrated him.
Melanie had to leave the room when they sewed up the wound. She sat on the chair outside and stared at the people walking to and fro. She had mixed feelings about this.
She did not expect Eugene to protect her from the drywall and get so seriously hurt.
If it were before, Melanie would have felt guilty enough to run around Eugene and be a slave for him.
However, all she felt now was mental exhaustion.
Chapter 435
It was a dark feeling that she could not get rid of or escape from. It made it difficult for her to breathe.
She even wished that she was the one who had gotten hurt.
At least she would not owe Eugene anything.
Her glum emotions were interrupted by the phone ringing. It was Xander.
He asked in a low voice, “How is Eugene Scott?”
Melanie looked at the shut emergency door. “He has a few deep wounds that are being sewed up right now.‘
Xander was silent. Even he felt that this was going to be difficult to handle.
Eugene was the owner of LeapCo, after all. No one knew what would happen if he got hurt at Burning Star.
Melanie said, “He’s being treated inside. I told him that Burning Star will pay for his medical fees.”
She paused before continuing, “I’ll apologize to him as well.”
Xander was silent a while before saying, “Don’t overthink this. I’m with Terence now. I’ll go over to the hospital in a while. We’ll talk then.”
“Alright.”
“Are you hurt?” Xander asked grimly.
Melanie replied, “I’m fine.”
“Good.”
After she was done talking to Xander, the emergency room door opened, and Eugene came out with bandages around his arm.
There was not much of an expression on his face. He was looking down, looking a little annoyed.
