Chapter 236 A Slap in the Face!
“Rose!” Norman quickly held her.
Rose’s breathing became irregular. Her eyes went red. But she did not blame Monica.
“I’m sorry… Sorry. I did not watch over my son properly, yet I came up with this absurd idea. It’s all my fault…” Monica’s eyes brimmed with tears.
Linda injured her left leg badly and was bedridden last time from the wounds the suffered. This time, the hooligans had kicked her left leg again. This would inevitably create fear in Monica’s heart.
Rose looked sad. She took a deep breath, then grabbed Monica’s hand urgently. “Mrs. Wickam, please promise me one thing!”
Monica shook her head guiltily, “This is all my fault, Rose! What can I promise you?”
“Tell Gareth to come, will you?” Rose’s eyes were red. She said anxiously, “Mrs. Wickam, I know that Gareth might dislike my daughter. I will not let my daughter get near Gareth, and I will not let her disturb his life in the future. But I’m worried that my daughter will not be able to wake up from her coma this time… What if she doesn’t wake up anymore? What if she becomes paralyzed? She got injured so seriously right after she had just recovered. Her medical condition might relapse…”
Tears kept streaming down Rose’s face. It was a mother’s concern for her daughter. There were no words of complaint or finger-pointing from her at all. It made Monica feel even guiltier. She quickly agreed, “Okay! I will call Gareth now!”
She passed Linda’s bag to Norman, then took out her phone to call Gareth.
Gareth did not answer the very first call.
Rose and Norman stared at her as she made the call. She felt a little anxious over their actions.
Monica tried calling the second time.
No one answered.
No one answered the third time either!
Eventually, when she made her fourth attempt to call Gareth, the call was connected. Before Gareth could speak, Monica spoke anxiously.
“I don’t care how your relationship with Linda is now, but she is now in trouble because of you!”
The annoyed look in Gareth’s eyes disappeared at once. He frowned hard and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Monica gritted her teeth and answered, “After you chased her away, she ran off and met a group of hooligans. She tried to resist them, but they beat her up and kicked her left leg. She passed out there. Luckily a kind Samaritan saved her and brought her to the hospital. Come to Three Hills Hospital now! If she loses the will to live, she might not wake up from her coma!”
Gareth’s facial expression changed slightly. He responded by promising, “I will be there right away.”
He ended the call and immediately sped to the hospital.
He frowned hard. His face was extremely cold. He shouldn’t have vented the anger he had for Elisa towards Linda. Linda was already bedridden once because of him. If anything happened to her again, there was nothing he could do to make up to her.
He stepped harder onto the accelerator when he thought of this.
When he arrived at the hospital, a few of them were still waiting anxiously outside the room. The operation was obviously still going on.
Gareth looked gloomy. When Monica saw him, she was so furious that she raised her hand and gave him a slap on the face!
Gareth’s head swung to one side because of the strength of her slap. Gareth’s right cheek turned red immediately.
Rose looked flustered as she exclaimed, “Mrs. Wickam! Calm down! What’s done is done, and it cannot be solved by hitting Gareth. Moreover, this is not Gareth’s fault, it’s my daughter’s…”
