If it was the nurse's mother who came in at this time, Coralie might have refused it.
However, it was her father who came in.
"Why didn't you say anything when your wife scolded my sister like that just now? Why are you only speaking now?" Wayne Chariott asked.
Of course, Wayne was not willing to let go.
Her sister had been wronged, and the nurses in this hospital loved gossiping. They kept bringing up the topic that Coralie Chariott was a mistress.
He only hit the nurse that gossiped the most because he could not take it anymore.
"Yes, yes. But you saw that I have no control over my wife."
The police officer looked at the nurse's father and then looked at Coralie, saying "I have a proposal. Try settling this privately. I think your brother needs to compensate for hitting the nurse. But the nurse only has a few stitches on her face. It's not a big injury. Don't try to ask for more money. As for the defamation... It's going to be very troublesome if you press charges. You will need to hire a lawyer and attend court meetings."
The police officer tried to be a peacemaker.
However, he did make an accurate analysis of the incident.
No matter which side made into a bigger case, it was only going to be more troublesome for both sides.
"Yes, yes. I saw that my daughter's injury is not serious. It's OK if you don't pay the compensation."
The nurse's father said.
"We will pay for the medical fees. After all, my brother was at fault."
Since the other party had taken a step back, Coralie did not want to push too hard.
After all, it was wrong for Wayne to injure people.
"Well then, thank you." the man replied.
The nurse's father left after hearing Coralie's answer.
"Sister, I can be discharged soon. Mom's injury has almost recovered. Soon I can help with the chores back home. You no longer have to hire a care worker." Wayne had enough staying in this hospital that kept spreading rumors about Coralie.
If he continued to stay there, he might hit someone else again.
"Well, I rented a two bedroom unit. The two bedrooms are large and there is a small room next to it. I guess you and mom can each live in one room, and I will live in the small room." Coralie told Wayne.
"There's no need. I'll just stay in a smaller room."
Wayne took the initiative and said.
After discussing, Coralie went out again and talked to the nurse's family. In the end, she gave them 10,000 dollars to settle the matter.
Coralie and Wayne went to their mother's ward.
At this time, Hera Jean had already woken up. She looked at Coralie and asked, "Coralie, tell me honestly. Are the rumors true?"
Although Hera had no idea about Wayne's fight, she stayed in this hospital long enough to hear some rumors going around.
"Mom, of course not." Coralie explained.
"No? You think you can deceive me?! I called Howard Schultz the other day, and he told me everything!" Hera snapped.
As Hera spoke, tears flowed down her face.
"Mom, what did he say to you?" Coralie asked.
Hearing this, Coralie's heart skipped a beat. Howard had divorced her, and Alison Herman was between them. He would definitely not lie for her.
"He said that both of you had divorced a long time ago. He also said that you married an old man in less than a month after the divorce. He said that he didn't want to suspect that you had an affair, but you got married too soon." Hera was really sad. "Coralie, why are you so stupid? Howard is a good man. How could you be so shameless for the sake of money?" Hera scolded.
Although Hera loved Coralie very much, she was an old-fashioned woman after all.
