Chapter 246: Chapter 246

“It hurts!” Leila whimpered.

“Are you alright? Leila?” 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!” Leila 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. Leila, 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 Leila’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 Leila so uncomfortable 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!” Leila replied in an incomparably 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.

Leila 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!” Leila 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!” Leila 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 place.

“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 flat tire, and I could not control it!”

“Alright!” Leila 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. Leila, 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!” Leila 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 to compensate you?”

“Uh!” Leila 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 for compensation?” Leila asked rhetorically.

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

Leila’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 blanket, and his long fingers reached into her pocket.

Leila’s face turned red, but Julian did not notice it. After taking the phone out, he saw the name of the person displayed on the screen was in one word - Vincent.

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

“Thanks!” Leila 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!” Leila shook her head and answered the phone. “Hello?!”

“Why don't you come back here, it’s already so late?” Vincent’s deep voice could be heard from the other end, and he was obviously annoyed. “I haven't eaten yet, come back and cook for me!”

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

Leila did not had time to explain 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, Leila remained silent.

Julian also remained silent, the atmosphere around them turned a bit strange. After a long time, Julian’s sharp eyes fell on Leila’s face and he finally spoke, “Leila, how about letting me hit on you?”

Leila 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 Leila with unblinking eyes, “Do I look cynical to you?”

Leila glanced 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 becoming incomparably 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!”

Leila 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, Leila 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 successful 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.

Leila 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?” Leila was surprised.

“There were men whom fell in love with him!” Julian’s gaze fell on Leila’s small face, and when he saw her stunned expression, he laughed. “You don't believe me?”

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

“He really was popular!” After muttering to herself, Leila 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 you come back yet? Are you meeting your lover in private? Come back home to me immediately!”

“Sorry, I can't go back for now!” Leila 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 explain and he quickly hung up the phone.

Leila 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 happens later, I'm fine!” Leila smiled. “Quickly call the nurse!”

After looking at Leila 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 Leila’s phone and immediately helped her turn it off.

“This-” Leila 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, Leila 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!” Leila’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 Leila seriously, Julian finally handed the phone over. “You can only send one message!”

Leila 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 home late, I am sorry.”

After pressing the short sentence, Leila 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 blame you either, it was an accident after all!” Leila giggled and smiled.

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

Leila 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/

“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!” Leila 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.
