Chapter 59 Bring Me Food at Noon
Edmond's hand was trembling. It looked like something was wrong.
Noticing the blood seeping through the bandage on his arm, Alicia felt her heart skipped a beat. She asked, "What happened to your hand?"
He looked up, suddenly changing his previously gloomy expression to an indifferent one, and replied, "It's nothing, I accidentally knocked it off."
"Don't lie to me. Your wound is bleeding again."
"Yeah. Cause I accidentally pulled it. It's nothing serious."
As he spoke, he picked up the tooth cup and refilled it with water, then smiled at Alicia, "Want to take a shower together?"
Seeing his playful look, Alicia knew exactly what this man was thinking.
Her mouth twitched as she said, "I'm going to get some more sleep."
Closing the door, Edmond gradually erased the smile from his face and looked at his arm, lost in thought.
While Alicia was cleaning before leaving the house, she noticed Edmond not doing anything. She said, "Stop wasting time. Finish your part of cleaning and let's go downstairs for breakfast before work."
"You caught me."
Edmond smiled, turned around, and pressed his injured arm. When the trembling subsided a bit, he continued his part of tidying up the house without revealing anything to Alicia.
When the two of them went downstairs together, Alicia accidentally bumped into Edmond's wound. He instinctively pulled his hand away, and his expression slightly changed with pain. This time, she caught his unusual behavior.
Alicia asked seriously.
"Are you really okay?"
He swallowed and answered with evasiveness in his gaze. "The wound might be infected."
"I'll take you to the hospital later."
"No need. I can take care of it myself."
"If it's serious, take a few days off."
Edmond once again put on a carefree expression, raised his eyebrows, and smiled at her, teasingly asking, "If I don't work, will you support me?"
Alicia replied with annoyance. Seeing that he could still joke around, she figured he was probably fine.
Although Alicia had already had someone retrieved Edmond's car from the OC Club, she still didn't trust him to drive. So, she personally took Edmond to his hospital and planned to pick him up after work.
Edmond sat in the car with his legs crossed, looking satisfied, and said, "Can you bring me some food at noon?"
Alicia glanced at him and said, "Are you pushing your luck?"
"I'm injured. It's inconvenient for me to get lunch from the canteen."
"... We'll see."
Although she said that, she was actually considering during lunch break whether to come after buying him food or go to the hospital canteen to get him food.
...
Hospital...
Seeing Edmond with bandages on his hand but a happy face, Alan Canning couldn't help feeling surprised.
"Dr. Agos, what happened to you?"
"Just a minor injury."
"Why are you so happy about this?"
"Hmm. You wouldn't understand."
Well, well, well, listen to his smug tone.
He remembered when Edmond left work yesterday, he was in a bad mood because he was blacklisted by his wife. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
This man's mood changed like a roller coaster.
Edmond put on a white coat. While adjusting his collar, he accidentally pulled on his wound, causing him to let out a light groan.
Alan Canning expressed concern, "Dr. Agos, is the injury on your arm serious? You have a small surgery later. Although it's not difficult, you shouldn't take it lightly. If you can't handle it, I can take over."
Edmond lowered his gaze and replied after a few seconds of silence, "I can handle it."
...
Alicia arrived at the company and frowned when she saw her previous five secretaries kneeling outside the office.
"I told you that you don't have to come here anymore, didn't I?"
When the five secretaries saw her, they rushed over, crying so pitifully while pouncing on her legs.
"Ms. Casey, we're sorry. Can you please give us a chance?"
"We were wrong in the past. We've said things we shouldn't have. Can you please withdraw the lawsuit? I don't have money to fight a legal battle anymore. I'm really sorry Ms. Casey! I really know that I was wrong!"
Alicia picked up the lawyer's letter from the ground, feeling puzzled.
She only fired those secretaries, but she didn't intend to sue them.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed the signature below the envelope. Coincidentally, it was the lawyer whom she had encountered before - Josh Leslie.
She suddenly understood.
This lawyer's letter was arranged by Edmond!
