"He is out of danger now, but he should remain in the hospital. His leg is in a cast. The injury to his upper body was not that serious. He will be transferred to the general ward soon. You can go and see him then," Fred conveyed Roger's physical condition to Carol. Exhausted after the operation, Fred didn't look in the direction of his son and Violet.
"Oh. Thank you, Fred!" Carol said quickly.
"That's fine. I have to go. If there is anything urgent, just call another doctor or the nurse," with these words, Fred left the hallway.
The other doctors followed after him.
After Fred left, Carol turned to the emergency room, about to enter it. At once, a few nurses hauled Roger outside, who was in a wheelchair. An intravenous drip was attached to his arm.
"Roger!" Carol Shen cried out.
"Mr. Roger!" Violet also exclaimed eagerly. She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing that he was out of danger.
Carol Shen reached near her son and followed the nurses to the general ward.
Violet moved to follow them, but Greg instantly stopped her by grabbing her arm.
"Where the hell are you going?" Greg asked in annoyance. 'Why does she want to see him?' he thought furiously. Has she only been thinking about him all this time?'
"I want to see Roger," Violet replied hastily, trying to shake off Greg's hand. She wanted to go to the general ward but Greg had a strong grip on her that made it impossible for her to leave.
"Why? He is fine now. Why are you still so worried about him?" Greg growled, raging with jealousy. 'She wants to look after another man in front of me? What does she want to prove?' he mused. 'Is she trying to show me she is in love with him?'
"He got injured because of me. How can I just leave him alone?" Violet said hurriedly. Her eyes still stared in the direction in which Roger and the nurses went.
"Violet, I donated so much blood to him. You don't care for my health even a little bit?" Greg scowled at Violet's profile, wondering why her eyes weren't on him. Was he not charming enough to attract her attention?
Violet furrowed her brows at his words, turning around to see him. She stopped struggling and gave him a worried once-over before looking him in the eye.
Greg stilled and looked back at her quietly, loving the way she gazed at him. He could never feel bored looking at her. His blood thrummed in excitement at the prospect of seeing her whenever he wanted, now that they were in the same city.
"Are you... are you all right?" Violet asked in a whisper.
"No, I'm not all right," Greg replied promptly. He wanted to see what Violet would do about it.
"Then I will help you get some rest," Violet said, not knowing what else to do.
Greg didn't respond. Instead, he extended his arm, gesturing her to help him.
