Chapter 738 - 757: Haven’t Cried Enough (2)
Mia Ginger took a close look at him and giggled, "Okay, okay, I get it. I’ve never met a man as petty as you."
Petty?
Koa Jackson didn’t want to speak further. Fine, let him be petty.
He just wasn’t too pleased.
Whether it was Louis Cox, Odin Myres, or Windsor Myres, in the end, he wasn’t particularly fond of any of them. To be precise, he was somewhat influenced by the old man and consciously maintained a distance from the Myres, naturally hoping Mia would do the same.
However—
The two of them had already argued several times over these matters, and it seemed unnecessary.
The two families were meeting tomorrow, and he didn’t want to provoke this young girl into discontent at such a critical moment.
Throughout the ride, Koa Jackson didn’t say much, while Mia Ginger chatted idly with him for a while, until she eventually felt a bit sleepy.
She always got sleepy in the car.
Grabbing the seatbelt with one hand, she rested against the seat and dozed off.
No idea where they had reached when suddenly a phone ringing woke her up.
Mia Ginger opened her eyes to see Koa Jackson putting on his headset, and he quietly said, "Hello?"
Then—
His speed suddenly slowed down, and he said calmly, "I’m heading over now."
Mia Ginger was taken aback.
Koa Jackson hung up the phone, glanced at her, and said, "Denver Petal had an incident. I need to go back to the hospital. Do you want to head home first?"
They had been driving for quite a while and were close to Cloudy Capital.
"What happened to Lawyer Petal?" Mia Ginger frowned and asked.
"Head injury."
"Huh?"
Mia Ginger was a bit surprised and didn’t want to waste Koa Jackson’s time, so she promptly said, "I’ll go with you. There’s nothing to do at home anyway. Last time when I was hospitalized, he visited me."
"Alright." Koa Jackson nodded and, without further ado, made a U-turn at the intersection, heading for the hospital.
The road was a bit congested, so when they finally reached the hospital, it was already past eight in the evening.
Denver Petal and Olivia Williams had arrived not long ago, dealt with the wound, and were waiting for them in the emergency room.
"Professor Jackson." The doctor on duty in the emergency room sighed in relief upon seeing him and said in a low voice, "The situation is not serious, but the wound is quite deep. It’s bleeding and seems like it will need stitches."
"Alright, let me take a look." Koa Jackson nodded and went over to Denver Petal.
Denver Petal was holding a bandage with one hand, covering the back of his head, with a furrowed brow, sitting on a chair.
Koa Jackson bent down to inspect it and said calmly, "It needs stitches."
"That’s why I came to you." Denver Petal said helplessly. "Trust you the most with this."
"What happened?" Not much was said over the phone, and Koa Jackson couldn’t help but frown at his appearance and asked.
"Let’s talk about this later; check my wound first. It’s killing me."
"Sure." Koa Jackson didn’t ask further. He glanced at Olivia Williams, who had eyes red from crying, then at the doctor in the emergency room, and instructed, "Prepare for the procedure."
"Okay." The doctor nodded in agreement.
The hospital was extremely quiet after working hours, and Koa Jackson directly took Denver Petal to get the stitches.
The situation wasn’t serious, so Mia Ginger and Olivia Williams waited in the emergency room on duty.
Olivia Williams sat in a chair, eyes red from beginning to end, not saying a word, looking somewhat absent-minded.
Mia Ginger observed her for a while and softly asked, "What happened?"
"It was Victor Williams." Olivia Williams didn’t hide anything, sighed, and said, "I was working overtime at the office. Victor Williams somehow came to find me. He had a drink and wouldn’t let me leave. Denver Petal happened to come to pick me up, and the two of them got into a fight."
