It was a substantial sum of money!
Maggie furrowed her brow.
âDid you cause him serious harm?â
âNo, he only has a small wound on his head,â Bart quickly reassured her.
Lost in thought, Maggie realized that the man was trying to take advantage of the situation to extort money from Bart.
âDonât worry.
Let me first inquire about the manâs condition from the nurse,â Maggie assured him.
âOkay.
â
Bart followed Maggie as they approached the nursing station.
After consulting with the nurse, Maggie managed to obtain the manâs medical records.
It confirmed that he had indeed sustained injuries.
However, they were minor, consisting of a small cut and a mild concussion.

Yet he had the audacity to demand an exorbitant amount of money.
âMaggie?â
Suddenly, a hesitant voice called out her name.
Turning to the source, Maggie was taken aback.
âJeffry?â
It was her high school classmate whom she hadnât seen since graduation.
She heard that he had failed his college entrance exams and didnât pursue higher education.
âMaggie, itâs really you.
Itâs been ages.
Youâve become even more beautiful,â Jeffry commented, a smile playing on his lips.
Returning the compliment with a polite smile, Maggie said, âYouâre looking quite handsome yourself.
â
Noticing the medical records in her hands, Jeffry inquired, âWhy are you at the hospital? Are you unwell?â
âNo, Iâm not.
My brother got caught up in a bit of trouble,â Maggie replied as she handed the medical records back to the nurse.
Just as Jeffry was about to inquire further, a figure approached them.
