Chapter 24 Payment For The Ride
A look of intense bitterness swept across Edmund's face after he didn't get an answer from Chelsea.He still couldn't understand how she could change so much.He was so annoyed that she dared not to respond to him when he asked her a question.
Edmund's mind traveled back to when Chelsea had asked him for a divorce in front of so many people.He had never been that embarrassed in his life.
This memory caused the inferno in his chest to burn even more ferociously.To vent his anger, he stepped on the gas and drove recklessly.
Chelsea held her chest with one hand.
In horror, she looked at him and said, "Do you want to kill us? You are driving too fast.Slow down!"
When Edmund heard those words and saw that Chelsea's face had turned pale, he calmed down and slowed down the car.
"Are you afraid of dying?" he asked with a sneer.
"Since a wealthy man like you doesn't fear for his life, why should I? I just asked you to slow down because it's inappropriate for you to die with me.If at all you want to die, you should do so with Diane.So, it will be said that you both died in love," Chelsea said in a relaxed tone.
This statement kicked up Edmund's anger again.She was driving him nuts.
If it weren't for the scald on her arm, he would have stopped the car and thrown her out immediately.For the rest of the ride to the hospital, the two of them didn't say a word to each other.
Edmund took her straight to see Chris Warren when they arrived.Chris was a top surgeon and a friend of his.Once they entered the office, Chris stood up and exclaimed, "Chelsea!"
Chris, like Edmund's other friends, was fully aware of all that happened between Edmund and Chelsea.He knew that they had a messy divorce.
Thus, seeing both of them together took him aback.
Chelsea didn't beat about the bush.
"Good day, Doctor Warren.Please help me check if my scald is serious.It was scalded by hot coffee a while ago.I have only put ice on it."
"Oh, okay!"
Chris, who had zoned out, came back to his senses.
After examining her arm carefully, he said, "The scalding is not that serious.Thankfully, it didn't get to the inner layer of your skin.Since there are no blisters, it won't leave any scars after it gets healed.Your arm will be swollen and it may hurt badly.But it should heal after a few days."
"Okay, that's good."
Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief.
"l’ll prescribe some ointment that will relieve the pain.Please apply them judiciously."
"I will do that.Thank you," Chelsea said with a nod.
Chris was a professional doctor, so she was willing to do whatever he said to make her arm better.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Once he handed her the prescription, Chelsea walked to the door, ignoring Edmund.But she suddenly stopped in her tracks.She shook her head thoughtfully and then took out a hundred-dollar bill from her bag.
Chelsea walked up to Edmund, put the dollar bill into his breast pocket and said, "Thank you for driving me to the hospital.This is the fare.You can keep the change."
The eyes of Edmund and Chris widened in shock as they watched her.
Chelsea pretended as if she didn't notice their expressions and left.
Having known that Edmund was a proud man who would never take money from her, Chelsea had intentionally put the dollar bill in his pocket.She didn't want to owe him anything.
Chris's mouth was agape as he watched the scene in front of him.
When the door was shut, he blinked hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.
The cold and alienated woman who just walked out of his office wasn't the Chelsea he once knew.
A while later, he shuddered when he realized that everything that just happened was real.
