Halma gave Olivia a teasing glare and softly said, “Why are you taking his side already? I know he’s your family.”
Olivia narrowed her eyes on her. “Doesn’t it hurt your conscience to say that?”
Halma chuckled and reassured her. “Ouch, it hurts, it hurts.”
As they were playfully bantering, the door to the hospital room suddenly opened. Both turned to see who it was and were surprised to see a man carefully holding a fruit basket. They exchanged a glance, shocked that Finley, who had publicly apologized to Nathan on the internet, had come to ask for their help. He had become nothing more than a small-time editor of a mediocre magazine.
He had no choice, though. Eugene and Nathan were determined in their stances, so he had to turn to Halma.
Seeing both of them staring at him, Finley could not help but feel disdain in his heart. He pretended to be gentle and said, “I am Lexie’s father. I came here today to see how you are doing, Miss Jones.” He placed the fruit basket on the cabinet.
Olivia and Halma immediately understood his true purpose with his deliberate attempt to appear subservient. Halma shrugged lightly. “I’m fine.”
He sighed as if helpless. “Actually, this child of mine has been spoiled by me. She didn’t have any feelings for Nathan originally. It was us, as parents, who insisted on matchmaking them. In the end, she made a hasty decision to publicly apologize on the internet, which only led to receiving ridicule from everyone. She acted foolishly at that moment. I came here today to apologize on her behalf, Miss Jones. I hope you, as an adult, can forgive her this time. As long as she doesn’t go to jail, we can compensate you with whatever amount you want.”
Halma glanced at Olivia, who was busy playing with her phone, appearing lazy and indifferent, as if she had not heard Finley’s words. Of course, those words meant nothing to her.
She smiled and said, “Mr. Snow, I know you’re rich. Did you read my medical report? I have a two-inch wound on my head that needed stitches. I had to shave my head to get it done. The concussion prevents me from even turning my head, and my cracked bone will take at least a month to heal. I have numerous injuries all over my body, and even a slight touch is painful. So, if I find someone to beat your daughter until she’s in the same state as me, then we’d be even, wouldn’t we?”
