Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 738

Chapter 738 Pay For The Medical Bill

Faye received a call from the police saying that Carter had fought with someone and was brought to the police station. Her first thought was that it was a scam call. After that, she thought that someone was joking with her. Only a moment later did she feel angry.

When she hurriedly showed up at the police station and saw that Jennifer was also there, Faye didn’t need to rack her brain to figure out what was going on.

As Faye stared at Jennifer, her hand, which was holding her bag, trembled slightly. Back then, I went out of my way to drive Amelia away. I didn’t expect another woman who may ruin my son’s career to show up today. These vixens are eager to destroy my son’s life.

Within a few steps, Faye had thought about all the ways she could vanquish Jennifer.

Faye swiftly texted Nina, asking her to come to the police station as soon as possible.

After successfully sending Nina the text message, Faye strode over and scrutinized the wounds on Carter’s face. Her heart ached for her son.

“What happened to you?” Faye asked.

Carter turned his face to the side, saying, “Mom, I’m fine.”

“You’re battered and bruised. How are you fine? When you were a child, you had always been a model student showered with praises by your teachers. Yet, you get into a fight with other people when you’re now an adult. You’re a CEO. If this gets out, it’ll affect your reputation,” Faye rebuked, feeling exasperated and sorry for her son at the same time.

Carter’s patience was running low.

Jennifer approached the two and said, “Mrs. Scott, this is all my fault. I’m willing to pay for all of Carter’s medical bills.”

There was a hint of malice in Faye’s gaze as she looked at Jennifer, but it disappeared in a flash. Faye forced a smile and replied, “Oh, you’re here too, Jennifer. I was only worried about Carter just now, so I didn’t notice you were here as well. Did Carter get into a brawl because of you?”

Jennifer hesitated, not knowing how to reply to Faye.

“Mom, this has nothing to do with Jennifer. It’s just that I’ve been finding someone annoying for a long time,” Carter said.

June sauntered over and wrapped his arm around Jennifer’s waist, showing his possessiveness over her. “Mrs. Scott, nice to meet you. I’m June. This is my business card. Jennifer is now my woman. I hope you can ask Mr. Scott not to pester Jennifer anymore.”

Faye merely glanced at the business card and did not reach out to take it. She recognized that June was the man in the video clip.

Faye disliked June to the bone, so she didn’t bother to exchange pleasantries with a hypocrite like him.

“Jennifer, you’re dating him?” Faye stared at Jennifer like a snake. Although the former seemed gentle on the outside, the look in her eye showed that Jennifer was like a nugatory, broken vase to her.

Jennifer wanted to struggle out of June’s embrace, but he whispered in her ear, “Do you want to get Carter’s hopes up again?”

Upon hearing that, Jennifer relented.

“Mrs. Scott, my video with him is all over the internet. Since we’ve done the deed, it’s obvious what our relationship is. But we were secretly filmed, and the video was uploaded online without our consent. Mrs. Scott, you will give us your best wishes, won’t you?” Jennifer put on a courteous smile on her face.

It was only then that the malicious glint in Faye’s eyes abated.

“Both of you are a match made in heaven. It’s a pity that Carter didn’t cherish a wonderful girl like you. But I still treat you like my own daughter.” Faye continued putting on an act, lying through her teeth.

Vexed, Carter clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, “Mom, stop it. They’re not even suited for each other.”

“How so? Jennifer pursued you for two years, and yet you didn’t accept her. Now that she has a new boyfriend, you say that they’re not a good match. Carter, as your mother, I’ve long taught you to be open-minded and forgiving. A man shouldn’t be petty,” Faye said, suppressing her anger.

Just as Carter was about to part his lips, Faye’s attorney came over with the police, saying that the procedures were settled, so everyone could leave now. June didn’t continue to pursue the matter because of Jennifer’s plea.

However, June and Carter were officially sworn enemies from now onward. After all, no man would like their woman to be coveted by another man even though June had absolutely no feelings for Jennifer, a woman whom he only had a partnership with.

Nonetheless, June was as happy as a clam upon seeing the defeated look on Carter’s face.

After taking a deep breath to stop herself from losing her temper, Faye said, “Let’s go, Carter. We shouldn’t bother Jennifer and her boyfriend anymore. They’re dating, yet you butted in and beat someone up. You’re really a troublemaker.”

Unbudging, Carter only had his eyes fixed on Jennifer as he knitted his brows. No one knew what was on his mind.

“Carter, let’s go.” Faye spoke again, stressing each and every word.

Carter finally snapped out of his daze and retracted his gaze. “Mom, you can go home first. I still have something else to do.”

“I will go back to the office with you. I promise I won’t disturb you while you work,” Faye insisted.

With that, Carter strode out of the police station first and bumped into Nina.

When he saw Nina’s beautiful, fairy-like appearance, his eyes glimmered for a split second before a calm look filled his eyes again.

“Carter, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect us to meet again in front of the police station. This way of meeting is very unique. I quite like it,” Nina greeted in a gentle tone.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Carter’s face. It was embarrassing for an adult to be brought to the police station for beating someone up.

“Nina, why are you here?”
