"I''ve already settled it with the person who bumped into my car. They will be responsible for the cost of repairs." La attempted to downy the severity of the situation. "Look at the flowers. These are from the backyard of my parent''s house, and my mom arranged them. They look so pretty that I decided to take them home."


    "You settled it without getting checked at the hospital?" Eric refused to change the subject. "Did you settle it in private because you were in a hurry to get home?"


    "I''m fine! I would have gone to the hospital if I was feeling unwell. It was a light bump, and the airbag was deployed. I was just startled by the airbag-"


    "How can you say that it was a light bump when the airbag deployed?" Eric was certain that La was trying to understate the situation and said, "Let''s go to the closest hospital to have you checked." "What? To see if I have a concussion?" She pulled her arm away. "I told you that I''m fine, so why won''t you believe me?" she shouted and walked over to the coffee table to set the vase down.


    Eric fell silent when she raised her voice.


    Seeing how the two were in an argument, the maid hurried over to grab La by the arm in an attempt to calm her down.


    "I don''t feel dizzy at all, so I definitely don''t have a concussion. It''s pouring out there, and I don''t want to go through the trouble of going outside. If I feel unwell tomorrow when I wake up, I will go to the hospital." La took a deep breath and said, "I''m not that frail."


    Noticing the change in La''s tone, the maid walked over to Eric. "La seems fine, so maybe she really is alright! Even if she isn''t, we are quite close to the hospital, so don''t worry," the maid said with a smile. "It''s a good thing that she came out of an ident unscathed."


    La felt much better at the maid''s words.


    "Eric, can you stop pulling that long face of yours? I''m perfectly fine. Seriously," La said. "I will take a shower. See if you want to put the vase in your room."


    With that, she went to the bathroom.


    Once La walked away, the maid picked up the vase and asked, "Should I bring this to your room? These flowers are gorgeous!"


    Eric shook his head. "Just keep them here in the living room so everyone can see them."


    The maid set the vase down, and when she noticed that Eric was frowning thoughtfully, she said, "You better not be thinking about telling her parents about what happened, Eric. La isn''t a child anymore. Let her make her own decisions in life. She doesn''t look injured, and if she didn''t want to tell you about the ident, she most certainly doesn''t want her parents to know. You know how much her parents care about her, and if they find out about this, they will take her to the hospital right away. It''s raining out there, and since she said she didn''t want to go outside, let her rest tonight!"


    The maid had been working for Elliot since La was a child, so she knew La well.


    "You are right." Eric decided to take


    the maid''s advice. "I didn''t mean to argue with her. I''m just worried that she might be white-knuckling through it. I had a few concussions in the past when I was filming The symptoms of a concussion may not be obvious at first, but the doctors said that one still needs to rest even if the concussion is a mild one."


    "That''s simple. Just tell her to stay home with you tomorrow, and I guarantee you that she will do so. You know La. Don''t try to force her to do anything. Just appeal to her emotionally and she will do everything you ask."


    "You know her well."


    "Hahaha. All girls are more or less the same."N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    "Yeah. You can get off work now. I don''t think there''s anything else that you need to take care of." Eric nced at the clock and noticed that it was already past seven at night. "Sure. Call me if you need anything." The maid immediately turned to leave.


    Eric returned to his room, all the while contemting how he could get La to rest at home the next day when the door to his bedroom flew open.


    La hade out of the shower and was standing outside his door with her pillow in her arms.


    "I am sleeping in your room tonight!" she said boldly.


    Eric instantly flushed a shade of crimson and was about to reject her request immediately.
