"It's okay, Mom. The hospital I went to was one of the best, and they were very professional. We don't have to go to another one." Mabie nodded, but she was still not at ease. Therefore, she checked on Vera's body again to make sure she wasn't hurt anywhere else.
"Other than injuring you, did they do anything else to you?" Knowing what Mabie was asking about, Vera shook her head.
"That's good. Those people should rot in hell. Didn't their parents teach them not to mistreat women? They are such b*stards!" "Mom, don't be angry." "Oh right, you said Ernest saved you?" "Yeah, he did. When I was delivering the food, I ran into him at the nightclub. He was there to meet someone. He probably realized that I didn't leave the club, so he cand saved me. He called the police after, and everyone went to the police station." "I see. We should properly thank Mr. Lowell well for saving you. If it wasn't for him, I don't know what would have happened to you." During the situation, not only did no one in the room help Vera, the people who bullied her were all men. It was chilling for Mabie just to think about it.
"Yes, I'll find an opportunity to thank him." After David found out about the incident at night, he repeated Mabie's actions. However, David reacted more aggressively than Mabie. Just as he went into the kitchen, she grabbed his wrist to stop him. David said that he was going to get a knife to kill those men.
Vera tapped her forehead helplessly as she stood aside.
"Dad, killing people is against the law. You'll have to go to jail too." "Am I supposed to just sit by and watch my daughter get bullied?" David replied.
"Vera said that those b*stards would be punished by the law. We shouldn't meddle with it. Or we could teach them a lesson by hiring someone to beat them up after they're out from jail to show them it was a bad idea to bully our daughter." After that, Mabie pointed at the kitchen knife in David's hand.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"This knife isn't for killing; it's forto cut meat. Put it back." David could only put the knife back in the kitchen.
Vera wiped the cold sweat off her face.
Fortunately, her parents listened to her advice, and they weren't reckless people.
Vera had been recuperating at hfor the entire day. Her phone hasn't been returned to her yet, and she didn't dare to call her own number, so she could only stay at hall day.
The next day, she planned to go to the restaurant. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Zais didn't agree, but it was when Vera promised them she was only going to oversee the operations and not move about much that they agreed.
As she stayed at hafter the incident, a few of her employees were curiously asking her what happened to her delivery the day before when she got to the restaurant. Vera gave them a brief reply because it wasn't something she was proud of, and there was no reason to let everyone know about it.
Therefore, Vera told them that she met with a car accident and she injured her leg so she couldn't walk properly. Her employees were considerate, and they told her to remain seated and not walk around the restaurant. Vera was greatly moved by their gesture.
When it was almost noon, Ernest cto the restaurant.
When he saw Vera, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
"I had a hunch that you would take the rest of the day off yesterday and cto the pasta restaurant today. Who would've thought my assumptions were right." Seeing Ernest, Vera was stunned for a moment before she revealed a grateful expression. David and Mabie also quickly walked out to him, especially David. He went forward and held Ernest's hand enthusiastically.
"Mr. Lowell, welcome, welcome! We are honored to have you here..." Vera was speechless.
And so was Mabie.
Both of them showed a look of disdain. Could David be any more embarrassing? On the other hand, Ernest shook hands with David politely and then spoke before David could, "Let's go to the private room upstairs. We'll talk there." "Okay, okay." After going to the private room, David prepared tea for Ernest, and it was a good quality tea too. Then, he kept thanking Ernest and even said that he was going to visit Ernest at hto thank him again and show him how sincere they were.
Mabie also agreed.
Ernest glanced at Vera, who was sitting next to him obediently, and smiled faintly.
"Uncle and auntie, you don't have to ine be so polite with me. All I did was open a door and made a phone call It was only right ofto do so. Even if it was someone else, they would have done the sthing too Furthermore, Miss Zais is a tenant of mine, and it's only reasonable forto keep her safe." He spoke in a very formal tone. He was polite and well-spoken.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVera glanced at him. It was clear that Ernest was trying to say that they shouldn't be bothered by the incident because it was just a small matter to him.
As she thought about it, Ernest said, "Uncle and auntie, there's something I would like to discuss with Miss Zais in private; it's about the restaurant. Do you mind giving us a little privacy?" "Sure, sure. No problem at all. Mr. Lowell, you saved our daughter Vera, so you can have anything you want." After they left, Vera couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth; she was exasperated at the actions of her parents.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lowell. My parents are very enthusiastic and simple-minded people. They are very grateful to you after knowing that you saved me, so... they have been overly enthusiastic. I am sorry about it." "Miss Zais, you don't have to apologize. Your parents are very sincere people. However, the reason I'm here today is because of something else."
Vera had a hunch as to what it was, and her heart skipped a beat. Her lips moved as she looked at Ernest. She was about to say something, but she stopped herself. "What is it that you want to say?" Ernest looked at her with a smile and said, "How about I let you speak first? What are your feelings toward it now?" Vera didn't know where to begin.
Her heart was in a mess, and she didn't know what she felt about it. In the end, she shook her head as Ernest stared at her.
"I don't have anything to say. Go ahead, Mr.
Lowell." "There's nothing you want to say? All right then, it seems that you're more reserved about it, so letspeak then." Vera looked down and did not answer him.
"Let's address the restaurant first.
Last night at the police station, when you realized that Quill and I knew each other, your first thought was that he cto me. Do you think that it was because of him that I decided to rent this space to you?" Vera did not speak, her lips tightly pursed.
At that time, she really thought so, Ο but when she thought about it again, she was a little unsure. Judging from Ernest's personality, there was no way he would just rent out something precious to his wife to anyone.
"To tell you the truth, Quill did cto see me, but I made it clear to him that if you didn't Vemeetmy.expectations, I wouldn't put anybody's feelings into consideration, even if he had been my good friend for many years. "But after that, you managed to pass the test yourself. You did it with your own skills and your considerate personality." Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men!
