The doctor's movements paused. He looked up at Sydney and then looked at Julien, who had a cool expression, and felt confused.
He did not use that much force. How would it hurt?
Furthermore, this gentleman's expression did not seem like he was in pain at all.
Shaking his head, the doctor did not think much of it. He just assumed that the wife was concerned about her husband, so she asked him to be gentler.
Well, if she wanted him to be gentle, then he would be gentle.
The doctor sighed and continued the massage.
After a long massage, the doctor opened the medical kit and began to look for medicine and bandages for Julien.
Sydney patted Davey's back and stood up. "How's his foot, Doctor? Are his bones okay?"
The doctor disinfected Julien's foot while replying," Don't worry, Madam. Your husband's foot is fine, and he didn't break any bones. He just strained the ligaments and tendons on his foot. He'll be fine in ten days to fifteen days."
Sydney breathed a sigh of relief at those words and nodded with a smile. "Thank goodness."
Since he was not seriously hurt, the guilt in her heart naturally dissipated a lot.
Although he was saving himself and incidentally saved her, the bottom line was that he saved her regardless. If his foot was seriously injured, she would not be able to live with herself for that.
Julien's eyes darkened when he saw Sydney smile.
Was she happy for him?
Seeming to feel the man's gaze, Sydney turned to look at him. "What?"
"Nothing," Julien's eyes flashed as he answered faintly.
Sydney shrugged and withdrew her eyes.
A few minutes later, the doctor stood up. "I've finished bandaging his foot. Don't let it come into contact with water for 24 hours. After one day, you can go to any hospital to get the wound redressed."
"Okay. Thank you, Doctor." Sydney nodded.
The manager sent the doctor away.
After coming back, the manager looked at Sydney and Julien apologetically. He held a large Gundam toy and a box, saying, "Sir and Madam, I'm sorry for what happened. It was the negligence of our restaurant that caused you to get hurt. This is the compensation from our restaurant. What do you think?"
The manager handed over the Gundam and the box.
Sydney did not take them and looked at Julien instead. "You're the one who got hurt. You decide."
Julien glanced at the Gundam and the box, and said in a cold voice, "We can't make a conclusion yet on whether it was your restaurant's negligence. Let's discuss how to solve this matter after my assistant finishes the investigation."
The manager felt overwhelmed when he heard this.
He originally thought that he would just pay a more generous compensation to settle this matter. That way, he might be able to keep his position as manager.
However, the gentleman here said that he was investigating the matter. The manager realized that this matter could not be solved simply by generous compensation. Furthermore, this gentleman had an assistant. It was enough to show that his identity was not simple.
The more extraordinary the identity, the harder it would be to brush it under the carpet. It seemed like the manager would not be able to keep his position after all.
He smiled bitterly.
About ten minutes later, Zach came back.
Julien raised his brows. "How was it?"
Sydney also looked at Zach.
Even the manager straightened up, wanting to know the results of the investigation.
Zach replied seriously, "I've checked, President Flint. It was indeed an accident. The waiter who installed the curtain panel lost two screws, but when he saw that the panel was holding up even without the two screws, he did not bother finding additional screws. He did not report it to the restaurant either, which caused this situation."
Julien's frown loosened considerably when he heard that it was not a deliberate accident.
However, Sydney pursed her lips, her little face full of anger. "That waiter has gone too far. He cut corners when responsible for such an important thing? He didn't even tell anyone about it. It's fortunate that we were the ones under the panel. What if it were the kids?"
Unlike adults, the children would not be able to avoid it in time.
Even if the children responded in time and tried to escape, their physical condition would be unable to keep up, and they would be hit by the curtain panel. If they were hit, they would probably die on the spot.
Sydney grew afraid when she thought of that situation.
Julien thought the same way. His expression darkened. "Where's the waiter?"
"I've already caught him. He's in the back kitchen,"
Zach replied.
