Chapter 324: It’s All My Fault
Meanwhile, at the hospital, Emma received a call from her subordinate.
“Miss Thornton, we saw Olivia driving towards the hospital.”
Emma glanced at the man sitting outside and lowered her voice to ask, “Which hospital?”
Her subordinate replied, “It should be Minchin.”
Minchin Hospital was the top private hospital in Seacrest and the one where Emma was currently staying.
Hearing that Olivia was coming to Minchin, a glint flashed in Emma’s eyes. “How long until she arrives?”
“About five minutes.”
Emma acknowledged, “Got it. Keep following her and call me when she reaches the hospital entrance.”
Her subordinate agreed.
After hanging up, Emma put her phone aside and carefully glanced at the man at the door. Seeing that he wasn’t paying attention to her, she looked at the water cup on the table and got up to reach for it.
Victor was checking the company email on his phone and didn’t notice her movements.
Suddenly, a crisp sound of glass shattering echoed in the room.NôvelDrama.Org content.
Immediately after, there was a suppressed exclamation from Emma.
Victor snapped back to reality and looked into the ward.
He saw water spilled all over the floor and the cup shattered into pieces. Emma was half-leaning against the headboard, seemingly startled, staring at the broken cup in shock.
Seeing this, Victor frowned and walked in with large strides to clean up the mess.
“Victor.” Emma looked at him timidly, her eyes full of apology. “Did I disturb your work? I saw you working so seriously and didn’t want to bother you, so I tried to get the cup myself. I didn’t expect to be so clumsy and ended up breaking it and disturbing you.”
As she spoke, she attempted to get out of bed to help clean up. “Your work is important. I can do this myself. You should go back to work.”
Victor calmly pushed her hand away and said in a deep voice, “Since I’m here to take care of you, you can call me for help with these things. Trying to do it yourself just creates more trouble for me.”
Emma bit her lip and stood aside awkwardly.
After cleaning up the mess, Victor fetched a new cup and filled it with water, placing it within her reach.
“If you need anything, just call me.” With that, he turned to leave.
Emma glanced at the time, knowing Olivia would arrive at the hospital soon. She called out loudly to the man who had reached the door, “Victor!”
Victor stopped and looked back at her, responding with a deep “Yes?”
Emma seemed a bit embarrassed and lowered her eyes. “I really don’t want to disturb your work, but I thought about what you said and realized you’re right. If I keep trying to do everything myself, I might cause you even more trouble. So, I decided not to be stubborn. Could you accompany me to see the doctor? My arm feels a bit uncomfortable.”
Hearing this, Victor frowned slightly. “What’s wrong?”
Emma apologized sincerely, “It’s my fault. When I tried to get the cup earlier, I might have bumped my broken arm. I’m not sure if it’s serious.”
As she spoke, Emma’s face was full of caution and self-blame.
It seemed like she was genuinely blaming herself for causing Victor trouble and interrupting his work.
Victor looked deeply at her casted arm and nodded slightly. “Let’s go.”
Seeing him agree, Emma’s face was full of gratitude, but her heart was scheming.
At this rate, they were bound to run into that woman.
She wanted to see if that woman would still have the nerve to approach Victor when he was taking such good care of her!
