Chapter 44: Chapter 44: I Tell You Chapter 44: Chapter 44: I Tell You “Yes, Carolline, you should go ho first. It’s fine for to be here alone.” Carolline’s nurse uniform was torn, and in this state, it was impossible to continue working. Avery Graham agreed.
“…” Carolline was at a loss for words, so she simply nodded. She turned to look gratefully at Simon Carrington, who softly said, “Don’t speak, just go back and rest.”
He had been so fierce because he had seen the strangulation mark on Carolline’s neck and her pale face. If he hadn’t returned in ti, he wasn’t sure if the bastard would have strangled her to death.
The drunkard had been beaten, but there was no one to vouch for him. When the police arrived, Carolline, unable to speak, was quickly taken ho by Simon Carrington.
When the drunkard complained to the police that he had been beaten, no one was willing to testify for him. They all claid he had tripped and fallen. Given that he had also smashed the nurse’s desk and was inebriated, the police believed them, took photos of the scene, and took him away.
By this point, Carolline had been brought ho by Simon Carrington, who couldn’t sleep as a result of Henry Ruiz and Emily Hill’s concern. Seeing Carolline in such a sorry state, Henry Ruiz wore a severe expression and Emily Hill looked worried.
“Doctor Ruiz, so Carolline is your daughter?” Simon Carrington was shocked to see Henry Ruiz. Henry Ruiz had been the lead surgeon for his own father after pulling so strings to find him a spot. It had not been easy.
“So it’s you, Carrington.” Henry Ruiz gave a friendly smile when he saw Simon Carrington, then imdiately asked about Carolline.
Simon Carrington fully explained what happened, and Carolline still couldn’t speak due to extre pain in her throat. Emily Hill was furious when she saw that Carolline’s clothes were ruined.
“Mum will get you so hot water to soak in, okay, Carolline?” Emily Hill even used Carolline’s nickna.
Ever since she graduated from kindergarten, Carolline didn’t allow her mother to call her that.
Carolline could only nod in response. Since it was inappropriate for Simon Carrington to enter Carolline’s rooms, Henry Ruiz fetched another coat for her to wear and took Carrington’s coat back.
Shortly after, Henry Ruiz left Carolline’s room, leaving Emily Hill to care for her.
“Well, Doctor Ruiz, I’ll take my leave now.” Simon Carrington said, intending to depart. He waited here just to inform Henry Ruiz. Otherwise, leaving without saying a word would have seed impolite.
“Alright, thank you, Carrington.” Henry Ruiz nodded. At this mont, apart from expressing his thanks, he didn’t know what to say.
“No need to be polite, Doctor Ruiz, without you, who knows what might’ve happened to my father.” Simon Carrington spoke earnestly. His whole family was currently very grateful to Henry Ruiz.
If his mother were to know that Carolline was Henry Ruiz’s daughter, he reckoned she’d co to apologize to Carolline herself, no question asked.
“Don’t say that, we were just doing our job. I’m not going to see you out, be careful.”
After Henry Ruiz escorted Simon Carrington to the door, he left. When Henry Ruiz returned, Emily Hill had already co out. Surprised, he asked, “Aren’t you staying with Carolline?”
“She’s soaking in the bath. Who were the security guards on duty today? They clearly weren’t doing their job properly.” Emily Hill was angry. Since the hospital hired guards, incidents like today’s rarely occurred. But sothing did happen today, which could only an the guard on duty was neglecting their responsibilities.
Emily Hill was naturally angry because her daughter encountered such an incident. If the sa thing had happened to anyone else’s daughter, they wouldn’t hold in their anger either.
“Don’t worry, I’ll investigate this tomorrow.” Henry Ruiz comforted Emily Hill, who went to the kitchen to make a cup of hot milk for Carolline before returning to her room.
After drinking the milk, Carolline lay in bed to rest. She was startled and wasn’t sure if it was the tranquilizing effects of the milk, but soon after drinking it, she swiftly fell asleep.
She slept soundly and was only awakened by the sound of her cell phone ringing. By now, it was already two in the afternoon. The house was naturally empty, but there was a warm al in the stear.
Carolline’s phone was in the living room. After she got up, she put on her slippers and went to answer it in the living room, “Hello, who is this?”
“Miss Carolline, this is Xavier Estrada. Here, your card has been made. Where is it convenient for to deliver it to you?” Xavier Estrada politely asked.
“…Could you wait for near Star Water Bar? Thank you.” Carolline ntioned a relatively well-known location, assuming that Xavier Estrada should be near her ho at this ti.
“Alright.” Xavier Estrada answered and hung up the phone.
Carolline quickly changed her clothes. Looking in the dressing mirror, she saw the conspicuous strangulation mark on her neck. She hurriedly picked a scarf to wrap around her neck. Wearing a scarf in this weather would surely raise eyebrows, but Carolline wasn’t concerned about that right now.
When Xavier Estrada saw Carolline, she seed sowhat odd. He frowned slightly. In his impression, Carolline, while not particularly trendy, was at least modestly and appropriately dressed.
Today, she looked odd because of an extra scarf.
“Miss Carolline, this is your card. Boss Carrington has asked to ask when you have ti to inspect the villa. If there’s anything you’re not satisfied with, I’ll notify the designer.” Xavier Estrada, who was older than Carolline by a few years, respectfully addressed her.
“Maybe another day, I’m on duty these next two days.” Carolline dodged the question,” Truth be told, I think there is probably no need. I trust Mr. Carrington’s judgnt.”
“Alright then, Miss Carolline, your scarf…” Xavier Estrada didn’t finish his sentence.
However, that made Carolline nervous. She thought her scarf must have moved and exposed her strangulation mark to Xavier Estrada. As she adjusted her scarf, Xavier Estrada got a glimpse of the deep purple mark on her neck.
“You’re hurt? When did this happen?” Xavier Estrada beca gloomy. The only reason why he hadn’t accompanied Boss Carrington to R Country was to handle Carolline’s affairs.
Seeing Carolline affected under his duty, incurring such a serious injury with such a deep strangulation mark that wouldn’t fade for so ti, how was he going to explain this to Boss Carrington?
“It’s fine. Really.” Carolline replied awkwardly.
“Miss Carolline, you don’t want Boss Carrington to worry over there, do you? If you don’t tell , I’ll have no choice but to call him.” Xavier Estrada implied he was prepared to leave.
“No, wait, I’ll tell you.” Carolline hastily stopped him.
