Chapter 137 - 137: Not Worth Considering
Anthea wanted to stay too. Eric said, “Auntie, you’ve been tired for a long time since last night. Go back and have lunch first. You can switch places with me tonight.”
Only then did Audrey realize that she had been unconscious for the entire night. It was already noon the next day.
Upon hearing this, Anthea didn’t say anything else. She gave Audrey a few more instructions before leaving with Abner and the others.
The ward instantly fell silent.
Audrey didn’t say a word. Now, her eyes were uncomfortable, and she couldn’t open them. She lay on the hospital bed, with the blanket covering her body rising and falling with her breathing.
After a long time, Eric suddenly said, “I didn’t protect you well.”
Audrey could hear the guilt in Eric’s words. She said in shock, “Second Brother, what are you saying? What happened tonight has nothing to do with you.” However… Audrey was somewhat puzzled.
“Second Brother, didn’t you say that you weren’t interested in these charity banquets? Why did you suddenly appear in that hall? God, I was shocked when I heard your voice back then. I was still wondering why you appeared out of thin air,” Audrey said.
Eric said without changing his expression, “Dean was interested in the banquet, so I went with him.”
Audrey nodded and didn’t say another word.
Eric said again, “Why did you run over when you saw that chandelier fall? Do you know how dangerous that is? If you were the one who was hit in the leg…”
Eric didn’t finish his sentence, but Audrey had already sensed the frustration and self-blame in his words.
[Second Brother cares about me so much, but he is a little fierce. I don’t even know how to respond to him.]
A line of words suddenly flashed above Audrey’s head.
Eric was stunned.
Seeing that Audrey didn’t say anything, Eric could only soften his tone and say, “I’m not reprimanding you. I just feel that your actions are too dangerous. You’ve injured your eyes now. If you tilt the chandelier any further, I’m afraid it will hit your head.”
Eric wasn’t joking. The crystal lamp was huge. If Audrey had taken a few more steps forward, the glass would have really hit her head.
Audrey smiled. “Nothing happened to me in the end, right? I can recover and be discharged after resting for a few days.”
Eric sighed and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door outside the ward.
“Come in,” Eric said.
When that person came in, Eric was stunned for a moment. “Evans?”
Ah? Was Evans here too? Audrey was instantly stunned. For some reason, she turned her head towards Eric.
Evans saw Audrey’s small actions and smiled faintly. Then, he placed the fruit basket in his hand on the table. “I heard that something happened to Audrey, so I came to see her.’
“I see.” Eric looked at the battery life on his phone and stood up. “Alright, I’m a little hungry too. Since you’re here, accompany Audrey first. I’ll go out for a meal.”
Evans had no objections and nodded at Eric.
After Eric left, Evans took the opportunity to sit where he had been.
“How is it? Are you feeling better?” Evans asked with concern.
Faced with Evans’s sudden concern, Audrey was a little embarrassed, but she still replied, “I had a small surgery. There’s no problem. I can be discharged in a few days.”
Evans nodded and looked at the gauze wrapped around her eyes. He suddenly asked, “It was so dangerous back then, why did you charge forward without hesitation?
Audrey’s hand moved. “Why shouldn’t I charge forward? After all, that’s a human life. ”
If Audrey hadn’t shouted back then, the chandelier would have hit Elena’s head and not her thigh.
Elena was lucky to have injured her leg this time.
Audrey was suddenly shocked to discover that she had inexplicably become the person who pushed the plot development of the original book.
The world is so wonderful.
Surprise flashed across Evans’ eyes, and he suddenly smiled. ‘You’re a kind girl.”
“However,” Evans suddenly said, “Elena treated you so badly and made things difficult for you. What does it matter if you sit back and do nothing?”
Audrey smiled. “A human live was at stake. The so-called conflict is nothing in front of it..”
