Mia Ginger took a close look at him and giggled, "Okay, okay, I get it. I’ve never t 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 sowhat influenced by the old man and consciously maintained a distance from the Myres, naturally hoping Mia would do the sa.
However—
The two of them had already argued several tis over these matters, and it seed unnecessary.
The two families were eting tomorrow, and he didn’t want to provoke this young girl into discontent at such a critical mont.
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 ho 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 ti, so she promptly said, "I’ll go with you. There’s nothing to do at ho anyway. Last ti when I was hospitalized, he visited ."
"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 ergency room.
"Professor Jackson." The doctor on duty in the ergency 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 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 ca 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 ."
"Sure." Koa Jackson didn’t ask further. He glanced at Olivia Williams, who had eyes red from crying, then at the doctor in the ergency room, and instructed, "Prepare for the procedure."
"Okay." The doctor nodded in agreent.
The hospital was extrely 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 ergency room on duty.
Olivia Williams sat in a chair, eyes red from beginning to end, not saying a word, looking sowhat 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 overti at the office. Victor Williams sohow ca to find . He had a drink and wouldn’t let leave. Denver Petal happened to co to pick up, and the two of them got into a fight."
