Chapter 357 Beautiful and Kindhearted Woman
At that moment, a middle-aged man walked into the ward with a boy who was about three years old.
The boy was playing and pretending to shoot a toy gun.
May raised her hand. “Ben, come here.”
She then turned her head and said to Luke and Selina, “This is Benjamin, my husband.”
Luke and Selina smiled and shook hands with Benjamin.
Benjamin was a nice guy, who sincerely expressed his grat.i.tude after the formalities.
Luke said with a smile, “Actually, I quite admire May. She wasn’t scared at all when she was faced with four robbers.”
Benjamin smiled bitterly. “Thank you, but I wish I was the one who had encountered them instead.”
Looking at his expression, Luke smiled and said, “No, it’s best if this doesn’t happen again. You’re not a police officer, and it’s not your duty to crack down on robbers.”
While they were chatting, the boy suddenly asked Luke, “Are you a police officer?”
Luke nodded with a smile. “Yes.”
“Did you save May?” the boy asked again.
Luke pondered for a moment before he shook his head. “No, May saved a baby, and I only helped her deal with the bad guys.”
The boy frowned. “So, May beat up the bad guys too?” He was obviously doubtful.
Luke was amused. “To me, she did.”
The boy nodded. “I’m going to be a police officer, and I’ll help May beat up the bad guys too when I grow up.”
Everybody looked at each other in amus.e.m.e.nt.
Luke rubbed the boy’s head and said, “Is he your son? He’s cute.”
May chuckled. “He’s… our child, and lives with us now.”
Looking at May’s and Benjamin’s faces, Luke had a faint inkling.
He immediately changed the topic and asked, “What’s his name?”
Benjamin replied, “Peter.”
Luke said, “Haha. He’s a smart boy.”
After a short chat, Luke and Selina got up and said goodbye.
Little Peter followed Benjamin to the door and waved at them as they left.
At hospital reception, Luke flashed his badge and asked for May’s bill.
Looking at the figure on the bill, he asked, “Has the bill been paid?”
The receptionist shook her head. “They only paid the deposit.”
Luke thought for a moment, and then called Jenny to give her a few instructions.
Outside the hospital, Selina asked curiously, “Why are you covering her medical bill?”
Luke thought for a moment and answered, “Because she’s beautiful and kindhearted?”
Selina snorted. “She is indeed beautiful, but she’s already 39, alright? She does look like she’s only in her twenties – so many women would be jealous.”
Luke nodded in agreement. “So, we should help the beautiful and kindhearted people of this world.”
Selina stopped asking and simply rolled her eyes at him.
Usually, when a man said that a woman was beautiful and kindhearted, he was implying that she was gullible.
Luke had called Jenny to find an excuse and pay off the rest of May’s medical fees in the name of his company.
From what Luke could see, he knew that May’s family wasn’t exactly rich. They might be able to cover the medical fees, but it would severely affect their quality of life.
In the meantime, medical insurance companies had a lot of tricks, such as demanding that patients use a doctor on the list they provided, or they might refuse to cover the costs.
May’s injury was an accident. It remained to be seen when and how much the insurance company would cover, or if they would at all.
Luke didn’t want to see May fall into an awkward and troublesome situation for doing a good thing
Actually, a large part of May’s injury could be blamed on Mr. Smith.
On the other hand, Mr. Smith did Luke a great favor by finis.h.i.+ng off Henry, an important member of the Elsworth family, and making a very special ability available to him.
Now, Luke was returning the favor by lending a hand to May, who had unfortunately been caught up in it, for his peace of mind.
If he just needed to spend some money to fix a problem, he wouldn’t hesitate to do so.
They drove home. Elizabeth then called to tell them that Chris was here.
Luke asked and learned that the visitors had arrived in the afternoon, so he invited them to his place for dinner.
Elizabeth hesitated for a moment. “Is that alright?”
Luke chuckled. “It’s fine, I’ll be able to talk to Chris then.” Recalling Luke’s earlier proposal, Elizabeth agreed. “Alright, we’re on our way.”
Forty minutes later, two cars reached Luke’s house.
Luke and Selina opened the gate for them and let the cars in.
The visitors got out of the cars, and Luke hugged the mature and charming sheriff and kissed her cheek. “Samantha, it’s so great to see you. We can have a lot of fun in the next few days.”
Elizabeth smiled bitterly. A lot of fun? It seems you don’t know what Elsa has arranged for you yet.
Luke hugged Ashley, and then picked up Mike to spin him around. “Haha. How have you been, my entomologist?” Mike struggled. “I’m doing fine. Don’t treat me like a little kid.”
Luke put him down with a smile. “Okay. Then learn to take care of yourself and your mom.”
Then, it was Chris. Luke shook hands with him and patted his back. “You look sharp, Chris.”
Chris smiled at him. “You too.”
Luke lowered his head and picked up a black-and-white animal that was tugging at his pants. “Wow, our h.e.l.lhound Mr. Bruce is getting tougher!” He then pressed down until the little dog stopped squirming.
Luke then reached out with one arm to hug Gladys, who was smiling on the side. “I’m glad to see you here, Gladys.” Gladys took Bruce back with a smile. “Me too. Let me take this naughty guy.”
Selina greeted each of them, before they all went into the house.
A moment later, they moved to the back of the house to have dinner, where everybody was more used to the bigger s.p.a.ce.
Very soon, the group was clearly divided into two.
