Chapter 39 She Acted Out So Proud
It was very simple. All Caroline had to do was to continue to be weak and respond to Madison's unreasonable and even insulting demands without any dignity.
But deep down inside, Caroline was greedy. She wanted to be respected, which she had not felt for a long time. It didn't have to be like before. She just needed to be treated with the respect that she deserved as a person.
But apparently, the thing went by contraries.
From then on, Caroline hid the riddled heart deeper. She hid what she longed for in her heart into the depths of her soul that no one could touch. It was dark and cold, and as lonely as deep sea.
Madison came and went again and again. She always came to the hospital at meal time and brought Caroline food and left.
On the fourth night of the incident, Madison put a takeout box on Caroline's bed cabinet as usual without expression. Then Madison turned to leave. At this time, behind Madison, Caroline, who had been silent on the hospital bed said slowly, "I want to leave the hospital."
Caroline's rough and slow voice made Madison, who had been indifferent for four days, stop her steps. Madison turned her head slightly vehemently. She vetoed without thinking. "No, you're still sick."
Did Madison care about Caroline? Caroline looked at Madison steadily. "I'm fine. My fever's gone. I want to work."
"You want to do this on purpose, don't you? You want everyone to see the gauze on your forehead?" Madison continued angrily, "Caroline, you are a piece of work. What's on a person's face is not always what's in their heart. This statement is true. I think you're a straight arrow. I don't expect you to be so scheming."
Caroline lowered her eyelashes to hide the loss under her eyes. Sure enough, she was overthinking it. How could Madison care about her?
When Caroline looked at Madison again, her eyes went numb. "I have to go to work. You do the discharge formalities."
Caroline pulled the quilt off and slowly got out of bed. Then she changed into the clothes she had worn when she came to the hospital.
Madison's eyes widened in amazement. Was Caroline ordering her?
She?
Caroline?
Caroline was ordering Madison?
A sense of humiliation came over Madison.
Madison looked at Caroline coming down from the hospital bed. Caroline limped slowly toward the door. Slow as her steps were, Caroline was indeed ready to leave the ward, which meant Caroline was serious. It was not a joke!
She was really ready to leave the hospital!
No way!
Madison's eyes rested on Caroline's forehead. Her eyes were momentarily flustered. She was still afraid. Caroline couldn't go back to Royal Club until that gauze was removed.
Without thinking, Madison moved with her step and stopped in front of Caroline. "How can you be so cheap? Work? You make it sound good. People who do not know the truth will think that you love labor and your work.
Your work? Isn't it your job to please men? Are you so eager to please men when you are still ill? You just can't wait to be a bitch, can you?
Or are you actually enjoying it? Why else would you want to rush to Royal Club despite your sick body?"
Madison only wanted to prevent Caroline from going to Royal Club at that time, but what she said hurt Caroline. Madison said a lot of hurtful things to Caroline. Caroline became more and more silent. She just looked down at her toes. Her palms behind her clenched into fists and trembled. Caroline was eager to refute and explain.
But Caroline knew it was useless to argue back.
She did. She was on her knees for money.
Yeah, she did get down on the floor for more money like a dog.
