Chapter 189
William looked at Hardy's concerned face and replied nonchalantly, "She accidentally sprained her ankle, so I'm taking her to see a doctor."
Upon seeing Valeria's tearful eyes, Hardy was very anxious, "Does it hurt? I'll go with you!"
William was being weird.
Hardy could see that Valeria was embarrassed to be carried like that by him, "I'm much better now.Please let me down!"
She had been complaining and crying in his arms not long ago.But now she felt better after Hardy appeared.
It was clear that she wanted to draw a line between them.
William's face darkened as he said in a cold voice, "Are you sure you can stand on your own?"
"Lean try to stand..."
He put her down immediately after she finished her sentence.
She was in so much pain that she almost fell, but he ignored her and said, "Mr.Anthony, you should go with her.I have something to do!"
After saying that, he left without waiting for their reactions.
Seeing him leave like that, Valeria was filled with anger, pain, and hatred.
Her tears flowed down vigorously at the moment.
Hardy thought that she was crying from the pain, so he comforted her softly, "Hold on for a bit, we'll go to the doctor right away."
However, Valeria's tears kept falling uncontrollably.
She wasn't in pain anymore.
Indeed, she was crying out of anger towards William! How could he be so heartless? He hurt her first, and now he left her with Hardy.
How irresponsible of him! Valeria picked up her mobile phone and called Abbie, "Abbie, I sprained my ankle, boohoo..."
Abbie quickly came out of the hall and saw her crying like a baby, "How did you sprain it?"
"I slipped!" Valeria answered with tears in her eyes.
"Let's go see the doctor! Everything will be fine!"
Valeria felt much better with Abbie around.
She helped her into the elevator, as Hardy followed them from behind, and the three of them went to the infirmary.
After the doctor examined Valeria, he mentioned that her ankle was sprained, so he applied some ointment on the injury.
Hardy was worried, "Is the injury serious? Does she need to go to the hospital?"
"No.Well apply the ointment first, and it'll be much better after compressing it with a hot towel," the doctor replied.
After hearing the doctor's reassurance, Hardy finally relaxed.
Abbie helped Valeria out of the infirmary afterward.
Since she was in no condition to go back to the main hall, she helped her back to her room to rest.
Valeria was a bit embarrassed with Hardy following them around, so she spoke...
"Mr.Anthony, I'm fine now.You can go and tend to your business!"
"I don't have anything up.I'll send you guys back to your room first!"
Hardy only left after sending them off.
After closing the door, Abbie poured a glass of water for her.
Valeria wasn't that type of person who would cry because of a sprained ankle.There was definitely something up with her.
"Tell me, what happened just now?"
"It's all William's fault.He pushed me and he just left me.He makes me so mad!"
Valeria told Abbie everything that had happened.
"You really don't have any dignity! You're crying just because of that? You should have given him a big slap in the face and hit him with your heels!"
"Uh...this isn't a good idea!"
William's phone rang as soon as Marcus was done speaking.
He glanced at the notification and saw that it was a foul message from Valeria.
He laughed out of anger, "I won't be called William Howard if I were to tell her the truth!"
Valeria sent the message in hopes of making things difficult for William, but she did not expect any reply from him.
However, a notification popped up soon after she sent the text, "How dare you scold me! Do you want to die?"
"That's right.I do want to die.Come kill me if you can! How shameless of you to lay a finger on a woman! I didn't know you were like this.I regret everything with you, you abusive man!" Valeria replied.
William stood up when he saw her accusing him to be an abusive man.
Marcus stopped him and said, "Mr.Howard, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to be an abuser! What is Valeria's room number?"
"Mr.Howard, this isn't a good idea’ Marcus tried to persuade him.
"Tell me! What is her room number?" William said more harshly.
Marcus gave him a bitter smile.
"She's on the same floor as us.Just two rooms away from yours."
As soon as he finished speaking, William turned around and left.
Just as he reached the hall's exit, Paisley came over with a smile on her face.
"I was looking for you."
"What's the matter?" William said in an obviously impatient tone.
"Mr.Clark and Michael are looking for you to play cards"
"I don't have time for that.I have something else to do; After finishing his sentence, William walked away.A hint of embarrassment flashed across her face as she helplessly watched him leave.She had never been ignored like this, so her face turned extremely pale. Who had offended William? Before she could figure anything out, a coy voice came from behind her, "Miss Anthony, I have something to talk to you about"
