Skipped At The Altar, Taken By His Uncle novel Chapter 37

Maam, the fracture needs to be set in a cast. Come back in 45 days to have it removed. Make sure to keep it dry during this period, said the doctor.

Whitney nodded absentmindedly. “Doctor, can I be discharged now?”

Yes, there’s nothing else serious. Just rest during this time. You might feel some pain for the next few days. When you sleep. put a pillow under your shoulder and raise it a bit to help reduce swelling,” the doctor added.

Her arm was in a sling as she walked past Emily’s hospital room, catching the sound of crying inside.

‘Carter, that really scared me just now. I’m so afraid. My parents died in a car accident,” said Emily.

Carter’s voice softened, full of concern. “It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. I’m here; you won’t die. I’ll always be by your side. Nothing will happen to you.”

‘If anyone’s going to die, it’ll be me before you,” he added.

Whitney’s stomach churned. She hurried past the room and headed for the elevator.

Their conversation just made her feel sick.

Thank goodness she wasn’t going to marry him.

At least she wouldn’t have to feel this disgust for the rest of her life.

By the time she left the hospital, it was already eleven at night. At this hour, James was probably already asleep.

Whitney felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

Whitney thought he was probably on the plane by now.

Carter finally calmed down Emily in the hospital bed and instinctively went to the emergency center to ask about Whitney.

Ah you mean the patient in the pink dress? She already left,” one of the nurses said.

Carter frowned. Is her injury okay?”

Are you her relative? Didn’t you know she had a fracture? It’s not too serious, though. They put on a cast, and she left,” she

said

Wait, a fracture? Carter’s mind reeled.

Her injury was much worse than Carter had imagined.

He wanted to call her, but then remembered she had blocked him.

Frustration churned inside him.

Why is she always so damn stubborn? Carter thought. ‘Even with a broken arm, she won’t just admit she needs help. If she’d just let her guard down for once, there’s no way I’d ever leave her hanging.

Emily stayed overnight for observation and was discharged early the next morning.

“Carter is Whitney really okay?” Emily asked.

Carter stiffened and said coldly, “She’s fine. Just a fracture.”

He had planned to take Emily back to the Harris Manor, but she politely declined, so he had no choice but to send her to her apartment.

Emily invited him, “Carter, want to come up for a bit?”

After a moment of thought, Carter declined. “No, I have to go to the office this morning.”

Emily lowered her eyes, lost in thought for a moment, then spoke softly, “Okay then.”

Their wedding was just around the corner.

Although Emily understood Carter’s feelings, she still hadn’t received any news about them breaking off the engagement.

Emily thought to herself with a hint of sarcasm, ‘Whitney really is useless. Guess I’ll have to nudge her again.
