When She Stops Playing Nice
Chapter 191
Eamon immediately became obsequious. âTpromise I will absolutely not do such a despicable thing again!â
Cathy didnât believe that Eamon could keep his word, and her expression was far from amicable.
Gina was also aware that Eamonâs verbal promises were worthless. She looked at him coldly. âI always believe that people learn from their experiences, so Mr. Quinn, your verbal assurance seems to me insufficient to ensure that you will not harass other girls in the future.â
Eamon trembled. âIâm sorry, Miss Miller, I didnât go to school for many years and I donât have much education. I donât understand what you meanâ¦
Gina stepped forward, grasped Eamonâs only non-broken hand, the one that had just taken liberties with Cathy, and with a loud c r a k, Eamon let out a
blood-curdling scream.
âOuch, ouch, ouch! Miss Miller, have mercy! Have mercy!â Eamon instantly burst into tears.
âMiss Miller, why are you doing this? What have I done to offend you? Tell me, but donât resort to violence!â Eamon sobbed.
âThis is to help you remember, Mr. Quinn. Donât worry. I will cover the medical expenses for your broken hand, but I hope, Mr. Quinn, that you donât quickly forget the pain once your wound heals!â
Eamon was in pain and angry, but due to Ginaâs status, he dared not express his anger and had to swallow his pride.
Gina looked at Cathy. âLetâs go.â
Cathy nodded, feeling much better in her heart after seeing Eamon pay for his actions.
As they reached the door, Gina suddenly turned to Eamon and said, âMr. Quinn, Cathy is a nurse at my hospital, if anything happens to her in the future, I will be the first to come after you. Iâve made myself clear. You wonât misunderstand again, will you?â
Although reluctant, Eamon still nodded stiffly. âYes, I understand.â
Gina left with Cathy.
Inside the elevator, Cathy was still somewhat agitated, and Gina comforted her. âDonât worry. Iâve made my position clear to him. If he dares to cause you any trouble, you can contact me. I keep my promises and will ensure your safety.â
Cathy thanked Gina. âMiss Miller, thank you, but I believe with what you said just now, he definitely wouldnât dare to retaliate against me.â
âI donât want to trouble you, Miss Miller, but⦠may I discuss something with you?â
Gina seemed to have guessed the kind of nonsense Cathy was about to say, but she didnât want to hear it. Nevertheless, she chose to respond, âGo ahead.â
âMiss Miller, Iâm sorry, I really donât mean to be presumptuous, but⦠Mr. Jacksonâs assistant has contacted Andy. The repair costs for the Rolls Royce amount to 200 thousand dollars, and Andy canât afford that much money. Could you could you possibly be lenient and let Andy pay less?â
As she had anticipated, Gina felt somewhat helpless. âYouâre still not planning to break up with him? Why, has he saved your life?â
For the first time, Gina felt quite angry. She wasnât one to meddle in othersâ affairs, but although she hadnât interacted much with Cathy, she knew Cathy was a girl of good character and very talented. She couldnât bear to stand by and watch such a promising girl be ruined by someone unworthy.
Cathy smiled wryly. âMiss Miller, I know you must be thinking that Iâm just a lovestruck fool, right? if you could, would you send me to therapy?

Chapter 191:
I also know youâre speaking out of frustration, but coincidentally, he did save my life..
+5
âWhen I was seventeen, there was a break-in, and he protected me, taking three knife blows from the intruder. Fortunately, none were fatal. If it hadnât been for him at that moment, I canât imagine what would have happened to me and my familyâ¦â
Gina was silent for a moment. âSo youâre sticking by him out of gratitude?â
Cathy shook her head again. âNo, itâs not just about gratitude. Weâve been together since school days, and he used to be very good to me. I love him, Miss Miller. No one is perfect, and as a partner, I should accept his flaws and give him a chance to correct his mistakes, right? As long as it doesnât break my limits, 1⦠I can accept it.â
âYour limits? Heâs asked you to work as a hostess, and thatâs not your limits? He loves you, but he no longer loves you, and thatâs quite obvious.â
Cathy began to cry, tears streaming down her face like broken beads. She didnât want to listen to Gina anymore. She couldnât bear it.
It was too heart-wrenching.
âWhy doesnât he break up with me if he doesnât love me anymore?â Cathy argued weakly.
Gina felt a pang in her heart. âBecause, to him, you still have some value to exploit. Or perhaps, because of the gratitude you feel toward him for saving your life, he can use that to extract value from you for his own benefit.
âThere are many ways to repay someone for saving your life, and given that youâve been together for so many years, I donât believe you havenât shown your gratitude in other ways.â
âDo not entangle yourself in a lie and ruin your own life.â For the first time, Gina had expended so much effort in advising a girl she had only just met.
Cathy fell silent. âIâm sorry, Miss Miller. I know you mean well with your advice. What I said earlier was not meant to morally bind you into negotiating with Mr. Jackson to reduce the amount Andy has to compensate. I apologize. Please disregard what I just said. I am very grateful for your help today. thank you!â
Cathy bowed deeply to Gina.
After speaking, she felt somewhat embarrassed and left, thinking of how ridiculous it was for her to make requests of the dean,
Gina didnât take the matter of helping Cathy too seriously, as it was a minor effort for her.
Gina was about to leave when Eamonâs attending physician encountered her again and greeted her. âMiss Miller!â
Gina nodded in response. She didnât have much to discuss with the attending physician, but she suddenly became curious and asked, âWhen did Cathy start working here?â
âA month ago. She used to work at the Vegate Central Hospital. This young lady is quite outstanding. Although sheâs a nurse, she has a keen interest in pharmacology and medicine. Our department is encouraging her to take the medical licensing exam. And sheâs very meticulous in her work.
âPreviously, there was an issue with some medicinal herbs in the medicinal herb room due to a staff error. Unexpectedly, she managed to miraculously revive them, even though she had never grown those herbs before. She said it was a stroke of luck, but this young lady is quite interesting.â
After speaking, the attending physician suddenly felt that he had talked too much and smiled apologetically to Gina. âIâm sorry, Miss Miller. Once I start talking, I canât seem to stop.â
