Chapter 420
Corbin’s sudden braking caused Eliana to lean forward abruptly. She would have hit the back of the seat in front of her if it weren’t for Maurice who quickly grabbed her from behind.
Maurice was furious and couldn’t help but swear, “Damn it, Corbin! What the hell is wrong with you? Drive carefully!”
Corbin let go of the steering wheel and turned to look at Maurice. He said seriously, “Boss, I want to ask for a leave!”
“What? What are you talking about?” Maurice was really confused. What the hell was wrong with Corbin all of a sudden?
“If Nana is indeed hospitalized, I want to take time off to take care of her.”
Corbin looked at Maurice anxiously as he spoke.
“You want to take care of Nana? What’s your relationship with her? Why would you have to take care of her? If it turns out that her condition is serious, are you going to take care of her all your life?”
Maurice was really confused.
“Yes, boss! If her condition happens to be serious, I will take care of her for the rest of my life!”
Corbin looked really serious when he said this.
He had just promised to take care of a woman for the rest of his life and he didn’t look like he was kidding.
Maurice was stunned and he didn’t know what to say.
“Are you telling me you’re even willing to quit your job for Nana? Won’t you regret it?” Maurice asked after a while.
“I won’t.”
Corbin had never been so serious.
“It seems that you have made up your mind. You must know better than anyone what happens to those who dare to offend me, right?”
Saying this, Maurice glared at Corbin, his sharp eyes piercing into Corbin’s soul.
Maurice’s cold, intense gaze made Corbin tremble with fear.
He had worked for Maurice for so many years, so he knew Maurice well.
Eliana was the only person with whom Maurice was nice.
Corbin had seen the miserable end that had come to the others who had dared to offend Maurice.
Despite the fear that Maurice inspired in him, Corbin could think of nothing else at the moment than Nana who was hospitalized!
“Boss, I’m sorry. I have to ask for a leave.”
Maurice saw that Corbin was determined, so he finally gave in. He rubbed his temples and said curtly, “Fine, just go.”
“What? Boss, did you agree?” Corbin asked in surprise.
“Of course! Since you are going to take care of Nana, just drive then.”
Maurice gave Corbin a cold look that sent chills down Corbin’s spine.
“Okay, okay.”
Corbin restarted the car on the spot and stepped on the accelerator. He drove fast.
It didn’t take long for the three of them to arrive at the hospital.
As soon as Corbin parked the car, Eliana got out and rushed to Nana’s ward. She pushed the door open.
“Nana!” Eliana called out in panic.
However, what she saw in the ward left her speechless.
Nana was not lying on the bed, but standing in front of it. She seemed worried. On the bed lay a man wrapped in gauze.
“Eliana! I’m glad that you are here!”
Nana’s eyes lit up when she saw Eliana.
“Nana, are you okay?” Eliana had already rushed to Nana and looked her up and down attentively.
It was only when she saw that apart from a bruise on her elbow, Nana was fine, that Eliana finally relaxed and heaved a sigh of relief.
Nana smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry. I’m fine.”
“I am glad to see that you are okay. But who is the man on the bed?”
Eliana squinted her eyes at the man on the bed.
She felt that this man was a little familiar to her…
At this moment, Nana’s smile disappeared and she said indifferently, “This is Huey.”
“Huey?” Eliana exclaimed in shock, her eyes wide open. She looked at the man attentively again and asked, “You mean this man wrapped like a mummy is Huey?”
Lying on the bed, Huey had his body covered in plaster and gauze. When he heard what Eliana said, he nodded slowly.
“Eliana! Nice to see you here,” Huey said in a sarcastic tone.
“Well, I definitely didn’t expect to see you again, let alone in such circumstances. Who did you offend that beat you so badly?”
Eliana’s face was cold and indifferent. She couldn’t be nice to the scum who had made Nana suffer.
Huey glared at Eliana in anger. Ha said sarcastically, “I was just wondering why Nana has changed so much. It turns out it’s all because she has been hanging with you too much!”
“Save it! What Nana does or the way she is has nothing to do with you,” Eliana said coldly.
After saying that, she didn’t want to talk to him anymore. She turned to Nana and took her hand. “Nana, what’s going on? Why are you in hospital with this jerk?”
Nana smiled bitterly and said, “It’s a long story…”
