Chapter <b>436 </b>
The nurse from before appeared with a piece of paper in her hand. “Pay this bill and get a tetanus shotter.”
She said this to Mnie and passed the bill to her too.
The nurse must have been frightened by Eugene just now.
Mnie took the bill from her and said to Eugene in a low voice, “Wait for me here. I’ll make payment.”
Eugene stared at Mnie with his dark and cold eyes but said nothing,
She took the bill to pay for the medicine andter returned to take Eugene for the tetanus shot. However, Eugene suddenly said coldly when they were there, “I’m allergic to the shot.”
The doctor administering the shot said, “We can do a protein shot.”
Mnie had to make another payment.
After they were done with the shot, they stayed at the hospital to be observed for half an hour. Mnie looked at Eugene’s bandaged arm and said in a warm but small voice, “Let me know if you have any requests.
“I just spoke to Xander. As long as the request is manageable, we can do our best to amodate you.”
She was being very apologetic about this.
Mnie had just finished saying this to Eugene when a figure came running down the corridor.
The person was anxiously running right toward them.
Vi had just returned to Jepton from Hearth City with Eugene. They had traveled through the night, and she was too tired to go to work, which was why she applied for leave.
She did not mind it as there was nothing much to do in thepany,
Lee suddenly called her to inform her that Eugene was hurt and in the hospital. Lee was stuck in the East district and could not make it there in time. That was why Vi had rushed here
from her house.
Vi saw Mnie standing next to Eugene from a distance and was reminded of what Lee had told her. Eugene had gotten hurt while inspecting the construction site of Burning Star. That was when Vi’s face fell.
Mnie was waiting for Eugene’s reply when she heard a slightly shrill voice ask, “Are you alright, Eugene?”
Vi was breathless from running, and she immediately pushed Mnie away from Eugene, She bit her lip, and her eyes were red when she looked at him.
“Why did you go to the construction site? Have you any idea how frightened I was when Lee called me? A small studio like that isn’t reliable at all. Why would you go to inspect their site?”
She kept going on and on, her loud sobbing attracting many people’s attention in the hospital
corridor.
Eugene remained stoic. “Did Lee get you toe?”
“<b>He’s </b>stuck in the North district and can’t make it. Why didn’t you tell me you were hurt, Eugene?” Vi asked him.
Eugene closed his eyes and said calmly, “It’s nothing serious.”
“How is this not serious?” Vi got increasingly upset. “If this isn’t serious, what is? You’re hurt, but another woman is by your side instead of me. Isn’t this serious enough?<b>” </b>
She turned to look at Mnie, and there was resentment in her tone. “Can’t you stop
appearing in front of Eugene now that you’ve left LeapCo, Mnie? Why do you keep using the excuse of work to see him? I know very well what you’re nning,
“It’s not appropriate for Eugene to say much to you, but could you have some sense and distance yourself from him?”
Mnie looked at her with a sarcastic look in her eye. “Do you really think I want to be here?”
Her cold eyes nced at Eugene as she said brusquely, “About the medical fees, I’ll have to trouble Mr. Scott to bring the receipt to Burning Star. If I continue staying here, I’ll really be the one with no sense.”
She turned to leave after that. Vi watched her walk away with clenched fists. She looked pitifully at Eugene again.
“Why were you with her, Eugene? Did shee looking for you and follow you to inspect the site?”
Vi stared at him wide–eyed. She wanted to hear an answer from him.
However…
Eugene’s dark eyes swept a nce at her, and he said tly, “If you’re so unhappy about this, why did you take leave today?”
Vi was taken aback.
