Lilian immediately took out her phone and called Shawn.
Seeing the name on the screen, Shawn directly blocked the number.
When she tried calling again, she couldn't get through.
The wheelchair was rushing forward frantically, heading straight down the mountain.
Lilian's heart was about to jump out of her chest as she screamed crazily.
Below was a steep slope, and she was about to rush down. She had no choice but to grit her teeth,
make up her mind, and use all her strength to jump off the wheelchair.
The wheelchair quickly rolled down the slope and disappeared in an instant.
Lilian lay on the ground in a sorry state, gasping for breath.
Fortunately, she jumped off, or she would have been smashed to pieces.
She immediately picked up her phone and called Rosalyn. "Hello? Rosie, I'm back in the country, and
I'm in an emergency situation right now. Come and help me."
Rosalyn immediately became excited when she heard that. "Alright, Lily, send me your location and I'll
go find you right away."
"Okay."
When Rosalyn arrived, Lilian was barely breathing.
She lay on the ground, covered in dirt, barely clinging to life.
"Lily, are you okay? How did you end up here?"
"Who hurt you like this?"
Rosalyn immediately helped her into the car.
Once inside the car, Lilian gave her a location. "Hurry and take me there. Remember to have Professor
Smith check my leg to see if it's infected. No matter what, my leg must be saved. Do you understand?"
"Yeah."
"H'm." Lilian finally closed her eyes in relief and fell asleep.
After a night's sleep, Norah's spirit had improved a lot when she woke up.
She insisted on going to work, so Shawn could only nod and agree.
However, his request was that he would personally take her to work and pick her up from work.
"I only have this one request," Shawn said.
Norah thought for a moment and could only nod. "Alright."
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Norah opened the car door to get out.
But as soon as she got out, she saw that Shawn had also gotten out of the car.
"I'll walk you in," he said.
Norah shook her head. "No need, go take care of your own business."
"Fine."
He nodded and stood in the same spot, watching Norah walk further and further away.
It wasn't until Norah's figure disappeared that he strode away and said lightly, "Let's go."
Anthony immediately followed.
In the office, when they saw the doctor, Shawn cooperated very well and quickly took off his shirt.
"The infection is serious. Didn't I tell you not to let the wound touch water?"
"The wound was barely healing, but what have you been doing these days? It has worsened so much.
Are you fighting and brawling every day?"
The doctor who treated Shawn was a highly authoritative professor, so he spoke very directly.
Anthony listened beside Shawn, gasping for breath and feeling so worried.
"Professor, we have followed your instructions, but there was an accident yesterday. Mr. Lawson
jumped into the water to save..."
Before Anthony could finish his sentence, Shawn shot him a glare.
But the old professor heard it clearly and immediately became furious. "How dare you go into the water
to save someone with these injuries! Did you want to die? Do you even know the consequences if you
get infected?"
"This is simply reckless. You don't care about your own body at all."
The old professor was angry and distressed.
Shawn, on the other hand, was rarely obedient and just sat there, allowing the old professor to apply
medicine and bandage his wounds without saying a word.
After the bandaging was done, the professor asked him to be hospitalized for recuperation.
"Okay."
Shawn agreed readily but walked straight to the hospital gate after leaving the office.
Anthony, feeling worried, asked, "Mr. Lawson, I think it would be better for you to stay in the hospital
and recuperate considering your injuries."
"No need." Shawn refused firmly.
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, Anthony could only mention Norah.
He advised Shawn again with concern, "If Miss Chase finds out, she will definitely be heartbroken."
Shawn pinched the place between his brows and said, "Don't tell her. If she finds out about my injuries,
I'll hold you accountable."
Anthony was puzzled. "Mr. Lawson, it was because of saving Miss Chase that your wounds worsened.
If she knew, your relationship could progress further. Why don't you tell her?"
"You'll understand when you have someone you truly love in the future."
Of course, Shawn wanted Norah to feel distressed for him.
But what he wanted was her distress out of love, not guilt.
What he least wanted was her guilt-filled gaze.
There was a time when she looked at him with shining eyes, overflowing with love and affection that
couldn't be stopped.
But now, the love in her eyes was gradually fading away.
After finally finishing the first peak period, Norah sat down in a chair and took a breath, drinking some
water.
However, every colleague who saw her thanked her with a smile.
"Norah, thank you!"
"Norah, you're so thoughtful. I have to express my gratitude."
Norah was confused and took time to find Dora.
Upon hearing Norah's question, Dora opened her mouth wide. "No way! Haven't you known about it,
Norah?"
"What?"
"Early this morning, before you came to the hospital, we received a beautifully prepared breakfast,
along with milk, coffee, and various high-end fruits that we usually can't bear to eat."
"The signature showed that it was your treat and hoped that we could take care of you."
Hearing this, Norah understood instantly.
She immediately called Shawn.
"Yes, I asked someone to arrange it," Shawn answered readily.
Norah rubbed the place between her eyebrows, feeling a headache coming on. "Shawn, thank you for
your kindness, but I can't handle it. Let Anthony calculate how much it costs, and I'll pay you back once
I receive my salary."Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"No need, I never intend to take back the things I give away."
Shawn was very angry and hung up the phone with a snap.
Norah pursed her lips. What was he so angry about?
They had already broken up, so she couldn't enjoy his favors with a clear conscience.
Forget it, she would clarify everything with him when he came to pick her up tonight.
After work, Norah got into Shawn's car directly.
"Do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to a meal." Norah took the initiative to speak.
Shawn was somewhat surprised and nodded. "Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"Since it's my treat, it's up to you to choose."
"Then let's have hot pot. You like it."
"You don't have to accommodate me. Choose something you like." Norah emphasized.
"I also want to have hot pot," he said.
Norah looked at Anthony. "Please take us to Central Square where there's a good hot pot restaurant."
"Okay, Miss Chase."
When they arrived, the place was already so lively, bustling with noise.
They were lucky. Someone had just left a private room, so they took that one.
"Shawn..."
After sitting down, Norah called his name.
As if realizing something, Shawn quickly said, "Talk later if you have anything to say. I'm hungry. Let's
eat first."
