Lina regained her composure and decided to express her gratitude to the hospital director, the middle-aged man in
the white robe who had shielded her from the police. She nodded and followed the nurse to the director’s office.
Just finishing his work, Carter greeted Lina with a gentle smile and gestured for her to sit on the couch. Before he
could speak, Lina thanked him timidly for his help. Carter assured her that it was just a small favor and there was
no need for formalities.
Noticing Lina’s bangle on her wrist, Carter commented on its beauty, which Lina revealed was a gift from her
husband. Carter’s gaze lingered on the bangle, understanding Zuko’s actions from a few days ago. He briefly
conversed with Lina, getting to know her better.
During their conversation, Carter noticed Lina’s slight discomfort and inquired about her well-being.
Lina then realized a minor injury on her arm from the altercation with Violet and tried to downplay it. However,
Carter insisted on a detailed examination by the nurse, concerned for her welfare.
Lina hesitated but eventually agreed, understanding Carter’s genuine concern for her.
Carter gestured for the nurse to accompany Lina out, assuring her that it was just a routine check-up before
returning to the hotel with his driver. Lina felt grateful but struggled to express it.
Carter’s private phone rang as he observed Lina’s departure. Recognizing the caller as his family, he answered with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇta soft tone, “Hello, dad. Have you heard about tonight’s incident?”
Rowan responded seriously. “Yes, it concerns our future granddaughter-in-law. Your mother and I are worried. How
did you handle it?”
“It’s taken care of,” Carter assured him. “I had her thoroughly examined here due to her minor injury, just to be
safe.”
Rowan expressed his approval, saying, “Good.”
“Dad, something doesn’t sit right with me about this whole situation.”
“Who wouldn’t feel the same?” Rowan replied in a deep voice, “Her face was ruined without reason. There must be
a hidden conspiracy known only to those involved.”
“Also, LC, the brand, will likely approach us,” Carter whispered. “Their product caused the problem, an
unprecedented incident in their history. They’ll surely take PR measures.”
“In any case, your mother and I believe that as long as our future granddaughter-in-law is safe and sound, the rest
doesn’t matter.”
“Dad…”
Carter couldn’t help but laugh at his father’s words, promising to fulfill his request. After all, the family cherished
the eldest heir, and Lina held a special place in the eldest heir’s heart.
“Don’t worry!” Carter reassured with a smile. “When the brand approaches us, I’ll handle it discreetly. I suspect
there may be someone orchestrating things behind the scenes. If we keep it under control and avoid alarming
anyone, who knows when the truth might surface!”
“Very well,” Rowan agreed.
Carter overheard his mother’s voice during the call, making their conversation a mystery.
“Dad, what did mom say?”
“Oh, your mother wants a copy of our future granddaughter-in-law’s medical examination report!” Rowan chuckled.
“She wants to compare it with Zuko’s. Instead of zodiac signs, they’ll match their DNA and see if their cells are
compatible!”
Carter was taken aback. “Uh…”
In all his years of practicing medicine, Carter had never encountered such a situation before.
The news of “LC Facial Cream Disfigures” spread rapidly on the Internet, generating overwhelming public opinion
and intense discussions among netizens.
Representatives from LC promptly arrived at the hospital, seeking to handle the matter through public relations
channels. They aimed to locate Violet and resolve the issue.
Filled with anger and with no outlet for her emotions, Violet launched into a vehement curse-filled tirade as soon as
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshe saw the brand representatives. She drove away several PR experts who had come to negotiate.
Not only did Violet direct her curses toward those individuals, but she also included Gia and Lina in her tirade.
“It’s those two b*tches who were pretending to be friendly with me!” Violet angrily hurled a cup to the floor. “They
must have conspired beforehand and given me a faulty cream! They want to harm me!”
Passing by the ward, Carter frowned upon hearing the commotion and decided to enter.
LC’s brand manager, Jessie Johnson, was also present, appearing helpless as she witnessed Violet’s outburst.
“What’s going on? Has Ms. Grist been behaving like this for the past few days?” Carter inquired.
“Yes!” Jessie quickly responded before the nurse could answer. “I tried to discuss compensation with her, but she
refused to listen. She has been cursing those two girls, especially, um… Lina Jenner.”
Carter’s expression darkened as he glanced at Jessie.
“Postpone the compensation discussion for now,” he calmly suggested. “Considering Ms. Grist’s current state, I
believe it will be best if she no longer remains in the dermatology department.”
“What?” The suggestion took Jessie aback.
Carter gestured to the nurse. “Please contact the director of the psychiatric department and request his presence
to assess the situation and explore potential solutions.”
