“Sure I won’t leave.” The woman nodded, looking panicked.
Ben turned his head away and stared at the door of the emergency room, waiting for his boss to come out.
The police officer had left the hospital for the accident scene.
He knew there would not be a settlement until Jared came to his consciousness, so he did not need to stay.
If there was no settlement, he would just take whoever was responsible to the police station for following legal procedures.
“Oh, right, sir.” Suddenly the woman wheeled her chair to Ben.
With a frosty look, Ben turned to her and said, “What now?”
“Just one question.” The woman’s eyes lighted up and asked curiously, “Was it his girlfriend that you called when we were in the car?”
She glimpsed at the emergency room.
Ben’s eyebrows were tightly knitted. “What are you asking that for?”
Dropping her eyes, she said with a timid smile, “Nothing. I’m just curious.”
“Huh,” Ben sniffed ruthlessly, “If you have time for that, you should be more curious about what will happen to you.”
With that Ben turned his head back to the emergency room, without saying another word to her.
The woman was then clenching her hands on the arms of the wheelchair. With the timidity fading out of her face, she took on a perverted and icy expression on her face and glared at Ben viciously.
But it didn’t take long before she recovered herself, lowered her head, and kept quiet again.
Solemnity reigned while the hall was silent.
After some time, the door of the ER opened.
Ben rose to his feet as soon as he heard the door open and rushed toward it.
Following behind him, the woman wheeled her vehicle.
Elias emerged from the room, taking off his mask.
Ben stopped him as he was to ask about Jared’s situation.
The woman beside him, however, spoke before he could say anything, “How is he doing?”
Ben frowned and gave the woman a cold look, seemingly aggravated by her conduct.
But he repressed his anger thinking that she had asked his question.
Elias looked down at the questioner with a blaze flashing across the eyes behind his golden framed glasses. “Who are you?” he asked.
The woman hung her head and said awkwardly, “I was the one who caused the accident and hurt this sir.”
Elias’s face darkened. The eyes upon her showed no tinge of emotion. “So it was you who put Mr. Farrell through this.”
“I was...” The woman hung her head even lower.
