Chapter 73 Take It or Leave It
After what happened last night, she was happy to greet him with a smile, no matter how grumpy he was. “Morning,” she said cheerfully.
Sipping his coffee, he glanced at her with indifference. “From now on, drive yourself to work. I don’t want any more trouble from you.”
Bella was momentarily taken aback. It wasn’t until she saw him toss the car keys onto the coffee table that she realized he had gotten her a car.
Seeing the logo on the keys, she suggested timidly, “Maybe we could exchange them for a less expensive option?”
He replied impatiently, “No, take it or leave it.”
Speechless, she took the keys and drove out. She was extremely cautious, afraid of even the slightest scratch. All she needed was a little run–down car. She didn’t want to draw
attention to herself.
When she arrived at the hospital, her colleagues couldn’t help but stare at her car as she parked, giving her judgmental looks. She just smiled and hurried inside.
After changing into her white coat, she went straight to Simon’s ward. He was awake, and she had brought him breakfast. She gently helped him sit up to eat.
Simon looked pale but smiled happily. “I thought you wouldn’t care about me.”
Bella remained indifferent. “You saved me, so I can’t be that heartless.”
Her words carried a hint of something more, and Simon felt a little awkward. “I was in Joville on a business trip and wasn’t feeling well, so I came to your hospital for a checkup. I didn’t expect to run into you, but I’m really glad to see you’re okay.”
“Your injuries aren’t serious, so you should be able to go home in a few days. You should probably call your family to come look after you. I have to get back to work now.” When Bella wasn’t busy at work, she would drop by to check on Simon, simply as a doctor, making routine inquiries about his condition and examining his wounds.
Daughter…
Bella’s body stiffened slightly. She had always assumed Simon wouldn’t dare acknowledge her in public. After all, he was a prominent figure now, and he preferred to keep her existence hidden. Even at the Sawyer family gathering, he hadn’t approached her.
