Chapter 238 Burned
“I’m fine!” Jonathan patted her hand comfortingly. He was unbothered by Arnold’s words.
However, if it wasn’t for the middle-aged woman, and if it was someone else who spoke to Jonathan in such a manner, that person would’ve been dead already.
“I think there’s a misunderstanding, Mr. Renner. I didn’t come here to humiliate any of you!” Jonathan gazed at the middle-aged man indifferently. “I came here to help you solve your problem!”
“Solve my problem?” The middle-aged man chuckled. “What problem can you solve? More like causing me problems!”
“Arnold, what’s with you?” Upon hearing Arnold’s sarcastic words, the middle-aged woman shot him a glare.
“Dad, Jon is really here to help us!” Alice added. “Mr. Lautner had even visited us personally when you were still unconscious!”
“Because of Jonathan? How would he know the mayor?” Arnold wasn’t convinced at all. “I bet that was a fake mayor! Perhaps he brought a random person here to scam us!”
“Arnold Renner!” The middle-aged woman was getting sick of Arnold’s attitude. When she was about to have a go at him, Jonathan stopped her. “It’s okay, Mrs. Renner. Don’t fight because of me. You guys are still in recovery. Please rest. I’ll go out and have a cigarette!”
After that, Jonathan stepped out of the ward. There was no need to explain further if Arnold chose not to trust Jonathan. I have nothing to prove.
After Jonathan left, Alice couldn’t help but stare at Arnold and roared, “Dad! You’re too much! You’ve wronged Jon first. How could you act otherwise?”
“Exactly!” the middle-aged woman added before glaring at Arnold. “You could’ve died if it wasn’t for Jonathan. Is that how you treat someone who had saved your life?”
“Hmph! How could you be so sure? Perhaps he came with the intention to steal our compensation fee!” The middle-aged man shrugged them off.
“Just shut your mouth already. Do you think everyone is as crazy over money as you are?” The middle-aged woman rolled her eyes and ignored him after that.
Jonathan returned to the ward half an hour later. He had brought them dinner. “You guys haven’t eaten dinner, right? I’ve brought food!”
“Thank you, Jon!” Alice hurried toward Jonathan and took the food. In the meantime, the middle-aged woman looked at Jonathan embarrassingly and said, “I’m so sorry for the trouble, Jonathan!”
“Don’t mention it!” Jonathan smiled. He then gazed toward the middle-aged man and said, “Come and have dinner, Mr. Renner.”
“No, thanks!” The middle-aged man turned away and refused to even look at Jonathan.
In response, Jonathan didn’t bother to convince him. He just acted as though the man didn’t exist.
After that, the hospital’s deputy director brought along various specialists to go check on Alice’s parents again. The staff treated Alice and her family like they were important figures. In fact, the service was incredible. The hospital had even arranged a few designated nurses to keep watch throughout the night.
Upon seeing that, Alice and her parents were shocked. Alice then cast a grateful glance at Jonathan.
Alice was absolutely drained after having to take care of her parents for the past few days. She couldn’t get a good night’s sleep because she had to stay by their bedsides all this while. Finally, someone is here to help! Now I can rest.
Time ticked by, and suddenly, it was ten something at night.
The entire hospital was eerily silent. Even the lights at the stairways were dimmed.
While Alice and her parents were fast asleep, Jonathan got out of the ward to give Josephine a phone call.
