Chapter 246 Hospitalization Caused by Scrapes.


    “It hurts!” Le whimpered.


    “Are you alright? Le?” Julian asked nervously while checking her injuries.


    “I''ll take you to the hospital!” Julian could no longer listen to what other people had to say and made a


    move to carry her.


    “Don''t touch her first, see if there are any broken bones?” Someone in the background said.


    “If I can’t touch her, what should I do if she continued bleeding?” Julian was getting even more anxious.


    “There should not be any bones that are broken!” Le said with a frown. Although it was really painful,


    she could still move her hands and legs, the injures was not that serious.


    “I''ll take you to the hospital, let’s get you checked first. Le, are you really sure that your bones are not


    fractured?” Julian carefully held her shoulders as he looked down with a worried expression and asked,


    only to noticed that Le’s face was very pale, eighty percent of it was caused by the scare she got.


    “I should be fine, just help me get up!” She could not tell where her body was hurt as it seemed like


    every part of her body felt pain. Her forehead was bleeding from the fall, her arms were all scraped,


    and the stinging pain at her ankle made Le so ufortable that she could not open her eyes. Her


    hand grabbed onto Julian’s arm to try to stand up.


    “Alright!” Julian supported her and pulled her up. “How is it? Does it hurt?”


    “Just a bit, it’s okay!” Le replied in an iparably weak voice, it sounded so fragile as if she was


    about to die, it was frightening.


    Julian’s dark eyes narrowed as he moved her body over and wrapped his arms around her to carry her,


    “Let’s go to the hospital first.”


    The hospital.


    Le was sent into the emergency room for a thorough examination.


    By the time she came out, it had been half an hour. The wound on her forehead was cleaned, the


    scrapes on her body were also cleaned and medicated. The good thing was that it was only a soft


    tissue contusion and her bones were not broken. The doctor suggested her to stay overnight for further


    observation to prevent a concussion from happening.


    “There is no need, I want to go back!” Le said to the doctor. "I''m really fine!"


    “How is this fine? You have to stay in the hospital for further observation, just listen to the doctor!”


    Julian held her down on the hospital bed. “If the doctor says you are fine tomorrow, only then we can


    go back!”


    “There really is no need!” Le stared at him with her beautiful eyes wide open. This was because she


    did not expect that it was Julian who had injured her in the first ce.


    “Just do as you''re told, and let my conscience be at peace, otherwise I might not even sleep well


    tonight!” As Julian’s hands were on the edge of the bed, he leaned down and his sharp gaze was focus


    on her. “And, I’m sorry, the car had a t tire, and I could not control it!”


    “Alright!” Le could only nod in agreement when she saw how earnestly he said it.


    “Are you sure that you are all right?” He moved closer to her.


    “Uh... I ...” His sudden approach appalled her. Le, whom was lying on the white hospital bed,


    retracted back, her small hands gripping on the edge of the quilt. “I’m okay... I''m sure I’ll be fine!”


    “Do you want to give a call to your family?” Julian asked.


    “No, there’s no need!” Le shook her head; Vincent was going to be with his lover tonight. Today, in


    the mall, she saw him with a beautiful woman so she thought that he will not return home tonight, since


    he had not returned home for three days straight already.


    “Don''t you need to tell your family that you’re not going back home tonight?” Julian saw that she was


    struggling through her eyes.


    “There’s no need!” Her mother will worry if she told her and Vincent did not care about her, so there''s


    no need. “You leave first, I promise I won''t leave the hospital tonight and I’ll wait until tomorrow!”


    “No matter how we look at this matter, I am still the perpetrator, I have to take responsibility!” Julian


    pulled a chair beside him and sat down. “Do you want me topensate you?”


    “Uh!” Le was shocked, she shook her head. “I don’t think you need to! Didn''t you pay for the medical


    expenses already?”


    “I thought you will take the opportunity to scam me!” Julian snickered.


    “Did I give off an expression that I had to ask you forpensation?” Le asked rhetorically.


    “No!” Julian was also shocked, and then he continuedughing.


    Le’s phone happened to ring at that moment, she looked down and wanted to get the phone.


    However, it was a little bit inconvenient for her with the IV drip attached to her hand, and her phone


    happened to be in the pocket of her pants on the right side of the IV.


    “I''ll get it for you!” Julian volunteered as he lifted up the thin nket, and his long fingers reached into


    her pocket.


    Le’s face turned red, but Julian did not notice it. After taking the phone out, he saw the name of the


    person disyed on the screen was in one word - Vincent.


    Although his gaze narrowed a little bit unnaturally, he handed the phone to her. “Here!”


    “Thanks!” Le took over the phone and as soon as she saw the caller’s name on it, her whole body


    shivered. She almost dropped the phone in fear, why did he call her?


    Her panic was seen in Julian’s eyes, he gently pulled the corners of his lips and turned his eyes to the


    window. “Do you want me to go back?”


    “No, there''s no need!” Le shook her head and answered the phone. “Hello?!”


    “Why don''t youe back here, it’s already sote?” Vincent’s deep voice could be heard from the


    other end, and he was obviously annoyed. “I haven''t eaten yet,e back and cook for me!”


    After only saying that sentence, he quickly hung up the phone.


    Le did not had time to exin anything, she could only stare at her phone in a daze. ‘He had gone


    home? Isn’t he shopping with a beautiful woman?’ she thought. Looking at the IV bottle, she also could


    not leave immediately.


    Putting the phone on the pillow, Le remained silent.


    Julian also remained silent, the atmosphere around them turned a bit strange. After a long time,


    Julian’s sharp eyes fell on Le’s face and he finally spoke, “Le, how about letting me hit on you?”


    Le was stunned, and her hand unconsciously grabbed the quilt. “You, what are you joking about?”


    “Do you think this is a joke?” Julian looked at Le with unblinking eyes, “Do I look cynical to you?”


    Le nced at him, a light and elegant smile appeared on her thin face. Her soft smile was like a


    flower blooming on the top of a cliff, ethereal and beautiful, making her small face instantly bing


    iparably dazzling. "You look in my eyes, there is no love and desire in it, so surely this must be a


    joke, right? You want to cheer me up? Oh... I''m happy, there is no need for you to do so.”


    Julian was dumbfounded for a moment; he did not expect her to say so. “You... really are unique!”


    Le continued to smile, the kind of smile that gave off a feeling of reassurance to anyone who saw it.


    For a moment, Julian was captivated by her smile, uh! No, he was dumbfounded by her words.


    Seeing that he was not say anything, Le changed the topic, “Is Vincent your senior?”


    Julian nodded, his eyes were looking away, as if he was recalling the past. “Yeah, he was my senior in


    college!"


    Speaking of him, Julian’s gaze could not help but soften a bit, “He was a legend, he did his homework,


    his was great in sport and so was his exam results, he was multi-talented. He was also the school


    president. We always thought he would enter politics after graduation. However, we did not expect him


    to start a career by doing business. After just six to seven years, he became very sessful in the


    business world, squeezing himself into the world''s top five hundred businessman.”


    It seemed that when it came to talking about Vincent, Julian’s tone is full of praise.


    Le also nodded her head, “I didn''t expect you and him to be schoolmates!”


    Julian pulled his lips. “Both men and women in our school love him!”

    “Both men and women love him?” Le was surprised.


    “There were men whom fell in love with him!” Julian’s gaze fell on Le’s small face, and when he saw


    her stunned expression, heughed. “You don''t believe me?”


    Le swallowed her saliva. “No! I do believe so!”


    She almost choked on her own saliva, knowing that he was loved by men was too shocking. “How


    many men like him?”


    “At least two to three!” Julian had a profound smile on his face, his deep gaze quietly focused on at


    Le’s small face, seemingly observing every expression on her face.


    “He really was popr!” After muttering to herself, Le closed her mouth and stopped talking.


    After another hour, the IV drip was almost finished when the phone rang again. The one who called her


    was still Vincent. “Why haven''t youe back yet? Are you meeting your lover in private? Come back


    home to me immediately!”


    “Sorry, I can''t go back for now!” Le looked at the IV bottle, remembering that the nurse had said she


    had to put on one more IV drip.


    “Come back immediately!” He still did not give her a chance to exin and he quickly hung up the


    phone.


    Le bit her lips, as if she had made up her mind. “I have to go back! I don’t want to put on and IV drip


    anymore.”


    As soon as Julian heard that she wanted to leave again, he immediately stopped her. “No, what if


    something goes wrong after you leave like this?”


    “Don''t worry, you don''t have to be responsible if something happenster, I''m fine!” Le smiled.


    “Quickly call the nurse!”


    After looking at Le with a serious look, Julian still shook his head. “What kind of person disregards


    your safety like that? Give me the phone!”


    With that, Julian grabbed Le’s phone and immediately helped her turn it off.


    “This-” Le was dumbfounded, she gritted her teeth and said, “This won''t work, I want to go back!”


    “Don’t go anywhere, you must finish the IV drip first!” Julian’s voice couldn''t help but turned deeper, it


    added on to his seriousness.


    For a moment, Le looked at Julian and saw the seriousness in his eyes, she suddenly felt sad in her


    heart. Why could even a stranger care about herself like this, while Vincent would not?


    “You can only leave after finishing the IV drip!” Julian’s tone eased down and he sat on the stool by the


    hospital bed.


    “Then give me back my phone and let me send a message first!” Le’s tone was a bit anxious


    because Vincent’s tone at the phone just now was clearly impatient, and she did not want to anger him.


    After looking at Le seriously, Julian finally handed the phone over. “You can only send one message!”


    Le saw the concern in his eyes and felt warm in her heart. She smiled and nodded. She then took a


    deep breath, grabbed the phone and started pressing the message, “Mr. White, I have overtime today,


    so I will be return homete, I am sorry.”


    After pressing the short sentence, Le was mentally exhausted. She was afraid that Vincent would be


    angry and she did not want him to be angry. After turning off the phone, she put the phone on the table


    and smiled at Julian, “The phone had been turned off!”


    “That’s the right thing to do!” Julian nodded while feeling a bit guilty. “I''m really sorry for what happened


    today!”


    “I can''t me you either, it was an ident after all!” Le giggled and smiled.


    The IV drip took most of the night and they had to wait until it was almost midnight to finish it.


    Le thought that she had turned off the phone without following Vincent’s orders, wondering what he


    would do?


    She opened the phone and realized that there were actually three missed calls on it. After checking on


    the logs, she realized that it was Vincent who called her those three times/


    Her heart suddenly pumped fast and she started to get anxious.


    “I''ll send you back!” Julian waved his hand to called over the taxi that was parked at the hospital’s


    entrance.


    ‘I’ll take a taxi and go back by myself!” Le did not want to bother anyone.


    “This will not do, you were injured by me, I have the responsibility to send you back. Other than that, if


    you think something is wrong, call me to inform me, I will not be person who will hit and run!” Julian


    said with a smile on his face.


    “It will be fine!” She was just a bit shocked. Although she had some bruises, no bones were fractured


    so there was no need for him to do so. She was not someone who will rely on others.
