Chapter 33: Injured and Go to the Infirmary
Translator: Li Xinyang
The sun is swallowed up by the dark clouds, and raindrops fall on the car’s windows, and it drizzles first, and then it pours.
The driver opens the wiper and the speed gradually slows down. Florence sits there dully, and her mind is haunted by Tabitha’s fierce face at noon.
“Mr. Si, here we are.” Rodney’s voice sounds ahead.
Brian nods, and when he is about to get out of the car, he turns to look at her again. His voice is low, “Get off the car with me. It’s raining heavily.”
He speaks briefly and turns to open the car door. Outside the car, the a.s.sistant is already holding up the umbrella.
Florence thought that it was ok for her to stay in the car quietly. Now that Brian has said that, she opens the door and gets out of the car. Rodney trots and holds an umbrella beside her. Even so, much of her cheeks and shoulders still get wet.
“Miss Li, I’m sorry, Mr. Si has never brought a lady to the company. I subconsciously follow Mr. Si into the company.” Rodney lowers his head with guilt.
“It’s okay. Thank you for coming here.” Florence smiles slightly and pats the rain on her shoulder gently.
She is not a spoiled princess, and such rain is nothing to her.
“a.s.sistant Cao, is there an emergency in the company? He sounds very anxious.” Florence looks at the slender figure ahead, who walks rapidly and turns around and asks.
“There is nothing wrong with company. Mr. Si has been like this for the past few years. The company is one of the two things he cares about.” Rodney says to her respectfully.
“Two things he cares about.”
Florence mutters, and her voice is so low that only she herself can hear it.
She knows very well that the two things Rodney said are undoubtedly Su family and the company.
Antonia’s death has saddened him so much that doing some compensation for Su family is the only consolation to him.
Thinking of this, Florence remembers Tabitha’s red eyes and she said she wanted to kill her, which makes her even more guilty.
Because of her, Antonia died.
Because Antonia died, so many people become obsessed with it, being unable to rid themselves of the sadness.
All these, she cannot get away with!
Florence dully follows Rodney into the company, lowering her head, like a child who makes a mistake and is about to be punished.
“Miss Li, it’s all right.”
Rodney cannot help comforting her when he sees her walk with her head down. Then he closes the umbrella and hands it to the secretary.
Her murmuring voice is very low, but Rodney who stands beside her hears it clearly.
“……”
Florence is still immersed in guilt, walking with her head down.
Rodney has no choice but to follow her silently.
Florence moves on like this, completely disregarding what is in front of her, or where she is now, just walking.
Suddenly, she b.u.mps heavily into a solid embrace, and her whole body suddenly becomes unstable.
“Pa–”
Florence falls flat on her back. She falls to the ground directly before she has time to react. The ankle, which has been already injured, is now more painful.
She is irritated by the pain, and then sobers up.
Looking at the group of people around her, and then looking at Brian, who looks a little angry and stands in the crowd, she feels her heart sinks.
His black eyes stare straight at her. The disgust in his eyes is obvious.
“Not up yet?” Brian glares at her, speaking sternly.
Florence hears the words, and quickly gets up. However, as soon as she exercises force at the ankle, the tearing pain comes from the foot.
“Hiss–”
She frowns, touches her ankle, and looks pale.
The injury caused by the traffic accident has not healed, and now with this bruise, her ankle is swollen obviously.
“Rodney!” Brian snarls. “Take her to the infirmary.”
After that, he turns and roars at the spectators, “Don’t you need to go to work or do you intend to be dismissed?”
Hearing that, the onlookers disappear in a twinkling of an eye.
“I fell just because of you!” Looking at the angry back of Brian, Florence complains in her heart. Then she stands up, supported by Rodney.
“Miss Li, here, watch your step!”
Rodney supports her when she walks slowly, reminding her to watch her steps.
Fortunately, the infirmary is not far away.
“Dr. Tian, come here.” Rodney places Florence gently on a small bed aside and politely calls the doctor who is looking at a medical certificate.
Florence lightly lifts her feet onto one side of the bed, raises her eyes and looks at this small but well-equipped infirmary. The whole room is in gray color. The medical instruments on both sides are arranged neatly. And three nurses are looking at something carefully on the computer.
The Si Group is indeed one of the largest companies in the country. Few companies are equipped with medical clinics, much less a slap-up medical clinic.
Florence sits there, looking quietly, and her eyes keep moving back and forth.
“Miss Li, sorry, I was in a hurry and didn’t notice you coming in just now.”
The doctor in the white coat comes over and says with an apology.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, no need to apologize.”
Florence waves her hand quickly, and smiles awkwardly.
Indeed, Florence has never been used to such an awkward address or polite greeting.
“Thank you for your understanding. Did you hurt your foot here?”
Dr. Tian says, touching her ankle.
“hiss–”
As soon as the doctor touches her ankle, she immediately feels pain in her foot, and she can’t help groaning.
“Miss Li, has your ankle been injured before?” The doctor asks earnestly.
Florence’s face twitches a little due to the pain in her ankle, and she nods.
The doctor turns and picks up the white medicine bottle and cotton on the plate. And then she pours the medicine on the cotton, saying, “Miss Li, don’t have to worry about it. It’s just a fracture. The last injury doesn’t recover and it is hurt again, and the injury happens to be in the same position. Inevitably, it will be more painful.”
“Not ready yet! I don’t have so much time waiting for you.”
Suddenly, the silence of the room is broken by a cold voice.
There is no need for Florenceto check who it is. She just wonders why he comes here.
“Mr. Si.” The doctors and nurses bow their heads to show respect when they see Brian come in.
“Don’t you notice the injury in your foot? It is a waste of time!” He comes straight to her, with a cold face and obviously irritable tone.
“It’ll be well soon.” Florence turns her head to meet his cold gaze and pauses. “It won’t take much of your time.”
Brian looks at her black and white eyes, and he feels fed up with the submission in her eyes.
“Florence, what did Tabitha do to you that night at Su family?”
Brian puts his hands in his pockets. His voice is cold, and his handsome face looks extremely grim.
“Nothing, I didn’t meet Tabitha that night.”
Florence says, turning his head to the side, deliberately avoiding something.
Now, Brian asks her about Su family, and there is no doubt that he wants to know what happened that night.
Tabitha’s words flashed through Florence’s mind just now. Although her words are ruthless, she is not unreasonable.
“Nothing happened? Are you sure?”
Brian’s black eyes stare straight at her, and a voice in his heart tells him that this woman must be concealing something.
“Nothing happened.”
Antonia died because of her. Thus, what Tabitha did is totally understandable. There is no need to let Brian know what happened.
Florence nods, still avoiding his eyes.
For Antonia, she feels guilty for what she has done, not knowing how to make up for it. However, on the other hand, she has to be adamant for the sake of Nelson.
In the midst of her self-esteem she remains stubborn and feels guilty.
