Chapter 12
After learning about Jasmine’s injury, Matthew started investigating the details of the incident.
After knowing the truth. I rushed to the hospital immediately.
Seeing Carl taking care of Whitney, he got so angry that he swung a crutch on Carl’s back.
“Did you hurt Jasmine just for this woman?”
Carl took a solid blow, he groaned and lunged forward, narrowly avoiding the iron nail on the sickbed from piercing his eye.
Whitney exclaimed as she got off the bed, standing in front of Carl, “Matthew, how could you hit Carl?”
Matthew lifted his crutch and pointed at Whitney, “I heard that Carl mobilized the top–level hospital resources just to save you. Come on, let me see how deep your injury is.”
Whitney’s face stiffened as she nervously glanced at Carl. She carefully tugged at his white coat and said, “Carl, my wound has just been stitched up. The doctor said I need to rest and recover properly…”
If Matthew didn’t know the truth, he would have been deceived by Whitney’s innocent appearance.
Matthew sneered, “You’re a habitual liar. You weren’t injured at all. Did you fake your suicide to hurt Jasmine?”
Matthew’s strong physique made Whitney shrink her neck in fear when he let out a powerful roar.
Seeing this, Carl grabbed Whitney and pulled her behind him. “Grandfather, what do you want with me? Whitney is innocent.”
“Innocent?” Matthew seemed to hear a joke, “Hmm, should I inform you every time I want to commit suicide? Is it always so convenient? If you call me ‘grandfather‘ today, then step aside, otherwise I’ll consider you as if you’re not my grandson.”
As the words fell, the atmosphere in the ward instantly dropped to
zero.
Carl was caught in a dilemma and never expected his grandfather to use family ties as a threat. He couldn’t possibly cut ties with his grandfather for Whitney, after all, his grandfather was old and couldn’t. handle the shock, and he was also his only relative in this world.
He looked at Whitney with difficulty, “Whitney, why don’t you let grandpa take a look?“.
L…
Whitney bit her lip tightly, she was so nervous that she was on the verge of tears. If she removed the gauze, it would give away her secret, but Matthew and Carl were both staring at her intently.
Even if she was unwilling, she had to unwrap the gauze.
Seeing the faint red line on Whitney’s wrist, Matthew burst into laughter and thumped his cane heavily.
“Just this? Is there still a need for rescue?”
Chapter 12
I…
Whitney couldn’t defend herself and could only bite her lip, with tears constantly swirling in her eyes.
“Sorry, Matthew, Carl was just too concerned about me and lost hist sense of measure for a moment. Can you please not blame him?”
“Shut up, I was talking to Carl. Do you have a say in this?”
Matthew roared, already furious with Whitney.
If it weren’t for her, how could Carl possibly disregard the importance and seize control of hospital resources like this?
Carl was dissatisfied with Whitney’s actions, but since she was someone he had once loved, he chose to stand up for her. With a calm. face, he said, “Grandfather, I was the one who did this, it has nothing to do with Whitney. Please don’t trouble her.”
At this point, seeing Carl shamelessly defending Whitney, Matthew was deeply saddened and exclaimed, “You are actually going to protect her? If you have even a shred of conscience, you should apologize to Jasmine overseas.”
Carl was a little impatient, “I never liked Jasmine in the first place.”
“Didn’t grandpa hear the saying that a forcibly twisted melon is not sweet?”
