"Richard, I'm really sorry. I'm fine now. You can go back now. I'll explain to my mother when she comes." Allison looked at the tired Richard and knew that her mother had made a scene last night. However, she was actually grateful to her mother.
"It's fine. I promised your mother that I will be here for you." Richard showed nothing emotional on his face. He didn't get any sleep last night. It was past six o'clock. Tracy would be here in a minute. Richard did not want Tracy to interfere with Amy's matters.
"I'm really sorry. It was all my fault. I was too stupid to have not dodged Amy, but I don't think she did it on purpose." Allison looked like innocent.
"Alright, have some water." Allison's foot was blistered by hot water, and it seemed to have made old injuries on her foot flare up a little bit.
Richard got a glass of warm water for Allison.
"Thank you, Richard. You're still so kind to me." Allison took the glass and said shyly.
"Your infusion bottle is empty. I'll call a doctor." Richard then went outside to look for a doctor.
Allison finished the water. She felt that the water was especially sweet. She thought that Richard still had feelings for her, otherwise, he would not have stayed here even if her mother forced him.
Allison looked at the blisters on her foot. She felt not that bad for she could stay with Richard for a few more days. 'Amy Miller, with such a background, you can never defeat me. What can you give to Richard? You have nothing to offer. But I can give great help to him.'
Allison felt that time was what she needed to deal with Richard. She would slowly make Richard forgive her. She believed that Amy was just a passer-by and she was the one that Richard wanted to spend his life with.
The doctor came in and checked Allison's injuries. The doctor was instructed to say that Allison's injuries were getting worse and worse.
"Your leg was injured severely. You should really take care of yourself. You must protect it from any dangers. When you have to have your leg amputated, it will be too late to think about my warning." The doctor shook his head as he checked the wounds.
"Yes, I will. I surely will take care of myself." Allison was very satisfied with the doctor's words. Because they would worry Richard so much.
"Are you her husband? You're rather careless to injure her with boiling water even when her leg was in such a bad situation." The doctor talked to Richard boldly. He knew this man, but now he could only pretend he did not.
"I'm not her husband, and I didn't injure her." Richard did not bother to explain, but he did not care to be mistaken for Allison's husband more. He had a wife but her name was not Allison.
"Alright. I'm not interested in your matters. Her leg must be taken good care of. If anything happens again, it'll be too late." The doctor quickly finished the conversation. He took Allison's infusion bottle away and hurriedly walked away.
The doctor wiped the sweat right after running out of the ward. 'Oh My God, that was scary. But it seemed that Mr. Carter was rather kind to Miss Field. Otherwise, he would have kicked my ass.'
The doctor calmed himself down and walked into his office exhaustedly.
"Allison, my darling, are you feeling better?" Jacob showed himself from the door with a big bouquet in his hand.
Allison glanced at Jacob and ignored him.
"Allison, you can't blame me for this. I was hit by a stupid Polo on my way here last night. That person was completely unreasonable. He quarreled with me all night before I had the chance to leave. He told me to end this mess tonight so I don't have time to be here with you tonight." Jacob felt that he was quite unlucky to be hit by a car when he rushed to the hospital.
"I'm not angry. Jacob, you have to go to work during the day. Go back and have some rest at night. You don't need to stay. My mother is here. Besides, my injuries aren't severe." Allison did not want Jacob to be with her from the beginning. If Jacob was here, Richard would definitely walk away without any hesitation.
"OK, then just let me take a look at you. I'll go to work later." Seeing that Allison did not blame him, Jacob felt that she was such a beautiful, gentle, and kind girl.
There were lots of people coming to the hospital to visit Allison. After Jacob left for a while, Sophia also came to see her on behalf of Grandma Eva and Addy.
"Allison, are you making the advantage of your injuries?" Sophia asked her.
"That's right. I want to use these stupid methods to drive Amy away from Richard. It's best to let them get divorced." Allison did not hide anything from Sophia because now they were on a same boat.
