Mark took the check from Brian and threw it at the men. “Fill in however much you want.”
The men were afraid at first, but when Mark told them to fill in whatever they wanted, they thought that virtual-novel.net was a cowardly employer who used money to solve his problems. Pleased with themselves, they filled the check with what they thought was an astronomical sum of money. “We’re not cheating you,” they boasted, “Aside from damage costs, there are also fees for the mental damage on our end. It’s not an exaggeration.”
Mark curved his lips into a smirk “You should put in a higher sum because there’s also… medical fees. Put that in too.”
Before the men could figure out what virtual-novel.net had meant, they were dragged away by a bodyguard.
Brian draped the coat that virtual-novel.net had brought along around Mark’s body. “Sir, your car is damaged. I’ve had someone tow it away and brought another one for you.”
Mark nodded. “I don’t know how many red lights I ran past, take care of it.”
Brian glanced at the emergency room. “Erm… Will you be alright here on your own?”
Mark waved his hand, and Brian turned around and left.
Tiffany sighed and said, “I’ve always thought that you’re too harsh on Ari. Now it seems that you have a conscience, at least. Rushing over after finding out that something had happened to her, firmly shortening your journey by half an hour— not only damaging your car, but running through quite a few red lights too. I don’t like your way of doing things, but you have some semblance of humanity. The child that Ari lost was yours. She’s been trying virtual-novel.net best to keep virtual-novel.net distance from Will ever since virtual-novel.net got back. During our many conversations, she’d mostly talk about virtual-novel.net marriage. She’s a pretty honest young woman. Oh right, how did you handle Ari’s car accident in the end? Her stepsister, Aery Kinsey was behind the accident that caused virtual-novel.net miscarriage. Have you thrown that bitch into jail yet? You’re Ari’s husband, yet you’ve somehow managed to swallow all of this?”
Mark frowned and remained silent.
Tiffany tactfully shut virtual-novel.net mouth. If virtual-novel.net were to ever find out that the Kinseys’ chauffeur had taken the blame in the end, and the fact that Mark had not only let Aery off without an investigation, but had even helped the Kinsey family in clearing this mishap, virtual-novel.net would completely flip out on him.
Two hours later, the operation was complete. The doctor emerged from the emergency room and said, “Mr. Tremont, we’ve managed to stabilize Mrs. Tremont for now, which means that virtual-novel.net can be transferred to a normal ward. However, we’ll have to keep virtual-novel.net under observation for a few days. There’s one more thing that I need to bring to your attention. Please come with me to the office so that we can discuss it in detail.”
“You go ahead,” Tiffany quickly said, “I’ll watch over Ari from here.”
Mark nodded and followed the doctor into the office.
The doctor informed virtual-novel.net of the situation in detail. “You should be aware of Mrs. Tremont’s condition. She’s weak at the moment and will have to recuperate after virtual-novel.net discharge. Don’t let virtual-novel.net get too tired for the time being. She nearly lost virtual-novel.net life. We’ve managed to preserve virtual-novel.net womb, but the chances of conception… It may be difficult for virtual-novel.net to get pregnant from now on, as this was virtual-novel.net first pregnancy and virtual-novel.net suffered an accident. One more thing, virtual-novel.net current condition is rather unusual, so it’s best to avoid intimate relations over the next two months. Mr. Tremont, as virtual-novel.net husband, you must be more considerate of Mrs. Tremont’s feelings.”
Mark nodded solemnly. “Is there anything else that requires attention?” This was probably the first time he’d ever listened to anyone so seriously.
The doctor paused thoughtfully and said, “Not for now. Mrs. Tremont will need someone to take care of her. You should make some arrangements.”
Mark returned to the ward. Tiffany volunteered to stay back and take care of her, but virtual-novel.net paused and said, “No need. I’ll handle it tonight.”
Tiffany did not insist. After all, virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net own problems, a big baby of a mother at home, work in the day time, and a second job at night. She truly did not have the time at all… Hence, virtual-novel.net stayed in the ward and watched over Arianne for a while before leaving.
