Chapter 38 Did She Want a Lot?
Madison looked up at Grace cautiously. Instead of answering Grace, Madison asked Grace back, "Do you like Mr. Tucker?"
Grace waved her hand quickly. "It's not me. It's others. A lot of people like Mr. Tucker."
The sternness of Madison's eyes faded. She began to persuade Grace seriously. "It's a good thing you don't like Mr. Tucker. Mr. Tucker is an outstanding man. He must have high sights. The girl who can be Mr. Tucker's girlfriend must be very excellent.
Mr. Tucker came to Royal Club just for fun. There's no way he's interested in women who love to play the field. Grace, I'm not bursting your bubble. Mr. Tucker has high sights, that's for sure. Don't join in the fun with those women, or you will weep silently and sadly."
After saying this, Madison saw Grace drooping her head and trying not to speak. Madison compressed her pink lips and held Grace's hand. "Grace, I'm just saying this for your own good. Look, I don't even say these words to those women. As a friend, I just hope you don't get hurt."
Grace's face was a little embarrassed. "I know. Madison, I have to get to work." Grace didn't know why her self-esteem was hurt even Madison said it was for Grace's own good.
Madison didn't think much of it. She went back to the hospital.
When Madison entered the ward, she saw Caroline still unconscious. She curled her lips and said, "Such a pain in the neck."
Madison talked to the doctor earlier. The wound on Caroline's forehead looked serious. It was just because Caroline was sent to the hospital late and she lost a lot of blood. The real problem was that Caroline was in poor health.
When Caroline woke up, it was the afternoon of the next day. The fever had gone down a little, but her temperature was still unusual.
Caroline opened her eyes. She was so thirsty that she unconsciously croaked, "Thirsty."
The noise woke Madison up. She frowned at Caroline. "Wait a minute," she said coldly. Then she poured a glass of water for Caroline.
Caroline took the glass and said nothing. She drank a glass of water silently.
After drinking the water, Caroline still didn't speak.
The ward was quiet. Caroline lowered her eyelids and concentrated. She was waiting.
All of a sudden, Madison said,
"Your forehead hit on a doorknob and it will leave a scar. However, it seems that you already have a scar on your forehead, so this scar is not a big deal. Don't tell anyone about it. I've already asked for leave from the Royal Club for you. You can go back to work when your fever has subsided. I paid all the hospital expenses. I will deliver three meals a day during your hospitalization on time."
Caroline was silent.
Madison was miffed. She thought Caroline was an ingrate. "Do you hear me? I'm not entirely to blame for this. You have your own problems. No one will sleep outside the house all night after getting caught in the rain. That's why you have a high fever. Otherwise, why did you fall down when I just touched you?"
Caroline was still silent.
Madison couldn't help raising her voice and cried, "What more do you want? I took you to the hospital! If I hadn't brought you to the hospital in time, you would have died of a high fever. And I paid for your medical bills.
I'm a college student. I work part-time in the summer vacation for tuition and living expenses. I don't have much money, but I still paid for your medical bills. And you're not letting it go. Caroline, tell me, how much money do you need to keep your mouth shut?"
Caroline kept her head down and said nothing.
Madison was more angry. "What do you want? Tell me!"
