Cheney’s POV
In the conference room,
I was in a meeting with the executives when Milo’s mobile phone vibrated. He bent over and ran out to answer the phone. I glanced at him and continued to talk about the project. Soon, he came back and whispered in my ear, “Mr. Cheney, madam had an accident at the construction site.”
I turned to look at him and asked, “What happened?”
“Just now, your wife was injured trying to save Quincy and she was now on her way to the hospital.”
I got up Immediately and left the office. I ran downstairs, and Milo followed me and drove me to the hospital.
At the hospital, Milo went to the medical staff to find out Krista’s whereabouts. When Milo and I got to the emergency room, Rashad was also there.
Rashad, whose arms were stained with blood, lingered in the doorway, looking restlessly into the clinic.
These days, he has been finding fault with Krista on the construction site, and now this happened. I grabbed Rashad by the collar and snapped, “Did you do this?”
Rashad’s worried expression was gathered and replaced by an indifferent appearance. “Uncle, you say this as if I really have so much ability. If I have such great ability, I will secretly do it.”
“Rashad, you’d better stay away from her. It’s better to have nothing to do with you, or I’ll make you suffer a thousand times.”
He pursed his lips. “Uncle, you haven’t been so triggered for a long time. It seems that this woman has great significance to you.”
I raised my hand and punched him on the chin.
He staggered back two steps and fell to the ground. “Get out! Milo, if he can’t get out by himself, you can carry him out for me and don’t let me see him again for a while.”
I turned and pushed the door and broke into the clinic. Krista was half sitting in the clinic when she saw me. She was surprised and asked, “Why are you here?”
I stepped forward and looked down at her injured ankle. “Are your ankles ok? What else is injured?”
She shook her head. “I only hurt my ankle. It’s fine, but Mr. Quincy is badly hurt.”
“Quincy?”
Her face was somewhat uneasy. “Yes, he was hit in the back by an acoustic tube to save me.”
This is different from the news I got. I frowned. “Didn’t you say that you were injured to save him?”
“At first, I saw the acoustic tube fall and tried to save him. The result was unsuccessful. On the contrary, when Mr. Quincy saw the acoustic tube, he turned over to help me block it, if he didn’t do it the injured person today would be me.”
“So, you were supposed to save him but he saved you instead? There are so many workers in the construction site. They didn’t do anything.”
I looked at her ankle and got a little angry.
Seeing that she didn’t speak, I turned to the medical staff. “What are you doing, hurry and heal her wound!”
The medical staff went to her side quickly.
Krista looked at me and said, “Can you help me see how Mr. Quincy is doing? He’s in the emergency room. I’m worried about him.”
“You are injured, and I still care about others.”
She folded her hands. “Please, will you?”
Seeing her appearance, although I want to say no, I picked up my mobile phone and called Milo. I asked him to deal with Quincy’s affairs.
When her ankle was handled, she got out of the bed.
I asked the doctor with a cold face, “Has she been thoroughly examined?”
“Miss Krista said that there is no discomfort in other places, so there is no need for that.”
I coldly said, “This is a hospital. Isn’t it the patient who listens to the doctor?”
The doctor nodded. “I’ll arrange for Miss Krista to have a general examination.”
She frowned and said, “I am fine, it is just my ankle.”
I glanced at her and she stopped talking.
Krista’s POV
After more than two hours of tossing, I was finally sent to the ward.
I feel helpless. I can be discharged directly. But Cheney insisted that I should be observed in the hospital for two days.
But Mr. Quincy has been there for more than three hours, and there has been no news. I am really in a hurry.
After dinner, I sat in the hospital bed, looked at Cheney and asked, “What’s going on with Mr. Quincy? Is he all right?”
“You don’t mind his business.”
“But my heart is uneasy. If you tell me, I can rest with peace of mind.”
Cheney frowned. “He hurt his waist, but it’s not very serious and needs to be nursed for a while.”
Hearing him say this, I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, that’s good news.
I lay down, turned over and looked at him. “There is nothing to worry about, so you should go back to rest early.”
He gave me a white look and said, “You crossed the line.”
“Which line did I cross?”
“Let me ask you, how did Rashad come to the hospital today?” I’m guilty. Maybe he knows that I was carried into the car by Rashad?
Before I could answer, he added, “Is the blood stain on his clothes yours?”
“It was a little confusing. I don’t remember, but I hurt my ankle. I shouldn’t rub the blood on him. That blood probably belongs to Mr. Quincy.”
“So, is he here to see Quincy or you?”
“He sent us both.”
Cheney was upset and gave me a disapproving look. “There are so many people on the construction site. In the future, you won’t have to go to the Dragon Bridge project.”
I rubbed up and sat up “Why.”
“Because that place is too dangerous for you to stay alone.”
“I’m not the only woman there. There are women in other departments, but there are only a few.”
His eyes narrowed. “Everyone else can be safe and stable, but you are injured.”
“I’m…” I looked down at my ankle. “It’s not an injury, it’s just a little scratched, and… I’m trying to save people. I meant well…”
“I don’t care what you mean. I only know that you don’t even have the ability to protect yourself. That kind of place is not suitable for you. Today, you are lucky. When you meet Quincy, he still has a little conscience to save you. If it’s other people I don’t think you will still be here.”
I clenched my fist. I can’t leave this project, otherwise, my plan will be completely disrupted.
I looked up at him and said seriously, “I must follow this project to the end. This is my dream. I promise you; I will never get hurt again in the future.”
Cheney’s POV
I stared at her face, knowing that she had a purpose with this project, but I didn’t expose her.
Seeing that I don’t speak, she seems to be in a hurry to say something, “Cheney, this is my own choice. I hope you can respect me.”
I rolled over and turned my back to her. “Give you three months to hand over the work to someone you can trust. After three months, you must leave without negotiation.”
“Good.”
Rashad’s POV
In the dead of night, I sat on the balcony, shaking my red wine glass in my hand and looking at the night sky.
I always feel that since a woman like Krista can grasp the appetite of my uncle, she must have her own unique means.
But… today, this snake and scorpion beauty, in order to save people, did not hesitate to risk her life.
I have never met a person who can give her life for others.
Thinking of what I noticed about her these days, I suddenly seemed to understand why my uncle was attracted to her.
She is dedicated and earnest in her work, honest and frank in character, and peaceful and warm-hearted in treating people. In this way, she broke the bad impression that Grandpa planted on her in my heart.
So, today when I saw her injured, I did not hesitate to rush forward, pick her up and rush her to the hospital.
