Catherine Jones and Shaun Hill novel Chapter 2454

Chapter 2454

“Oh, my daughter. I told you not to work in Lynch Corporation, yet you insisted on doing it. We have a company too.” Mrs. Childs was heartbroken. “Forrest, I don’t care about anything else, but you have to bear the responsibility for this. My daughter got injured at work, and it was because she wanted to save you.” Stacey promptly pulled her mother’s hand. “Mom, I did it voluntarily...” 

“Stop talking.” Mrs. Childs glared at her daughter, infuriated. “Who told you to be a heroine? If the glass had fallen on your face, your life would be ruined. Having said that, the injuries on your leg aren’t any better. It takes several months for fractures to heal. With scars on your legs, you won’t be able to wear dresses during summer, and I’m sure your future husband won’t be able to stand the sight of them when he spots them in the future.”

Stacey shrunk her neck unhappily. Then, Forrest said composedly, “Our company will bear the compensation, including the medical fees and mental distress caused. Since Assistant Childs is injured because of me, I’Il personally make it up to her. I'll try my best to get her a doctor to treat the scars on her legs. Besides that, I owe the Childs family a favor.”

“A favor? Do you think I’m concerned about the favor?” Mrs. Childs said angrily, “My daughter is precious, and we’re not bothered about the money.”

That put Forrest in a difficult position. He never thought that Stacey would be from the Childs family. If he had known it earlier, he would not have accepted her into the company. Although he was grateful that Stacey saved him this time, he wanted to avoid trouble following the incident.
“So... what do you want me to do?” Forrest asked directly. He did not want to beat around the bush.

Mrs. Childs blinked her eyes while Mr. Child said, “I haven’t decided on it. Let me think it over for two days.”
“Okay.” Forrest nodded.

He did not stay there for long. Since there was still some work to handle in the industrial park, he took his leave first.

Stacey lowered her eyes in disappointment as she watched him leave.
