Chapter 149
People’s faces changed and they retreated. They were just angry, but they did not really want to hurt Elaina.
Elaina’s face was also ugly. She did not expect that someone would throw boiling water at her. Did he want to disfigure her?
She stared at that person. Her intuition told her that his background was not simple. But at this time, she did not have time to think about this. Instead, she looked at the man in front of her. “Are you okay? Why did you rush over?”
Jalen turned around and smiled at her, “I told you that I will always support you in the future.”
“Your arm…”
“It’s fine. Let’s go first.” He was not sure if there were any other dangers around. Elaina did not want to leave. She stared at that person. Jalen understood what she meant and said to her, “Leave it to me. He can’t escape.”
Elaina looked at him and nodded. She left with Jalen. This time, no one dared to stop her.
In the car, Jalen was driving and did not say where to go.
“Stop the car!” Elaina suddenly spoke.
Jalen frowned and said patiently, “Don’t throw a tantrum. Let’s leave here first.”.
“I told you to stop the car!” Elaina insisted because she saw that Jalen’s exposed arm was red and swollen. How could he say that he was fine? Did he think he was invincible? Jalen had no choice but to
stop the car. Elaina walked to the driver’s seat and opened the door. “I’ll drive.”
“No need…”
Elaina did not speak and just looked at him with a firm gaze..
Jalen had no choice but to get out of the car and sit in the passenger seat. He did not know what
Elaina wanted to do. But he soon knew.
The car drove toward Northwestern Memorial Hospital. When it pulled up at the hospital,
Jalen could not describe how he felt. In any case, it felt like he finally saw some hope.
“Ella, actually I…”
“Don’t talk nonsense. Get out of the car!” Elaina had already gotten out of the car.
Although her tone was not good, Jalen did not feel angry. She did not stop him from calling her intimately. This was a huge improvement for Jalen.
Elaina, who was walking in front, did not know what Jalen was thinking. She took him to the emergency room. She was familiar with the doctor on duty, so she said directly, “Mr. Atkinson, he was just scalded. Please treat him immediately.”
“Okay.” Nelson Atkinson nodded. Then he realized that the person who came in was Jalen!
Atkinson was not nervous at first, but then he suddenly became nervous. “Mr. Halton?”
“Relax. He’s just an ordinary patient.” Seeing him like this, Elaina comforted him.
Jalen also nodded. “Just like Ella said, relax.”
Nelson was confused.
He thought, what’s the relationship between Dr. Gainsford and Mr. Halton? He calls her
Ella? It sounds very intimate.
It was not surprising that Nelson did not know. After all, he was old and did not often go online. So, he did not know that Elaina was Jalen’s ex-wife.
Nelson carefully treated Jalen and instructed, “Don’t touch water recently. Eat plain food. You should be able to recover without a scar.”
“Okay, thank you,” Jalen said.
Nelson’s legs went weak and he almost lost his balance.
After his scald was treated, Elaina did not stay any longer and left with Jalen. If they continued to stay, there would only be more and more onlookers.
Why didn’t she know that her colleagues in the hospital were so gossipy in the past?
In the car, Elaina asked, “Where are you going? I’ll drive you there.”
Considering that Jalen was injured, and it was because of her, Elaina felt that she had to express her gratitude.
“Where are you going?”
