At the hospital.
Nicky was in the ward, and I did not have the guts to watch as the doctor treated the wound on her face, so I waited in the corridor outside.
I fidgeted and hissed again from the pain in my back as I jerked up.
Theo hurriedly stepped forward to help me, his hand resting on my back. I hissed as soon as he touched me lightly, and his face sank. "You should see a doctor too."
After he said this, he took me into the consultation room regardless of my opinion of it.
The person inside was a male doctor, and Theo said coldly, "Her injury's on the back, so we'd like to ask for a female doctor."
Very quickly, a female doctor came over, and she placed me on the bed. When she lifted my clothes, Theo stood by and watched. I turned my face to the side, and seeing his deepening expression, I knew that the injury was rather severe.
"Truthfully, it doesn't hurt very bad." After I said this, I quickly regretted it. When the doctor applied the medication on me, the pain in my back was so unbearable that I shouted again and again.
Theo stared at me and his voice sounded solemn." And you say it doesn’t hurt?"
I buried my head and gritted my teeth.
When it was over, I breathed a sigh of relief, but there were beads of sweat forming on my forehead.
Theo wiped the sweat for me with a tissue, and the doctor prescribed a prescription. "Only for external use. Use it in the morning and evening."
After taking the ointment, I urged Theo to leave.
"I'm actually fine, but Nicky's wound is on her face. I'm so worried about her." I told Theo about my distress and anxiety. I quickly moved back to where I was just now.
When we arrived, the doctor came out. "Is she alright?"
"Her wound isn't that deep, but it's still somewhat serious. It'll take some time to heal."
"Will there be a scar?" I asked him about my worst fear.
The doctor obviously paused before answering me, "If she were to take good care of it, there shouldn't be any scarring. However, I can't guarantee it."
I froze in place upon hearing this.
Theo came over and said, "Don’t worry, I'll ask someone to take care of you once we get back."
"Thank you, President Grant."
She lowered her head and seemed a little sad. "I didn't expect that Queenie is still unwilling to let go of the past. I’m sorry, Wanda. If I hadn't asked to go to the teahouse-"
"What are you talking about? Queenie had already laid a trap from earlier on. Even if we didn't go to the teahouse, she would’ve taken the initiative to look for me," I interrupted her.
"It's over. Let's go back to the hotel and rest. We'll head back to Whaldorf tomorrow afternoon.”
Nicky nodded. "Mm. Let's go back to the hotel now."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and left the ward first.
After she left, I walked out slowly with the help of Theo. I looked up at him, "I want to see Queenie tomorrow morning."
"Okay. I'll accompany you."
