Chapter 331 She Still Couldnât Accept It Remembering Jonathanâs miserable condition, Daniel couldnât help but sigh.
When Jonathan asked him not to tell Angela at that time, he remained silent.
He wouldnât inform Angela, but deep down, he hoped that she would find out and be able to help.
Angela, a descendant of a renowned acupuncturist, possessed exceptional medical talent. Given Jonathanâs peculiar illness, her assistance could greatly benefit his recovery.
Upon hearing Danielâs account, Angela stood frozen in shock. She had assumed Jonathan only injured his left arm, unaware of the extent of his injuries.
No wonder he had refused her offer of acupuncture on his leg again.
*Please elaborate on the situation from that day,â Angela requested, seeking to understand the injuries Jonathan had sustained.
Their conversation continued, while on the other side, Yaxley waited in the hospital lobby after bringing the unconscious person for treatment.
âThe patient fainted but has received IV fluids and should regain consciousness soon,â a nurse informed Yaxley before leading him to the ward.
The hospital was small with basic facilities, chosen for its proximity. In the emergency ward, several beds were empty, while others were occupied by patients receiving intravenous drips.
âYouâre awake,â the nurse said as she guided Yaxley to the corner bed, where the patient was stirring.
Upon closer inspection, Yaxley noticed the patientâs attractive appearance, albeit slightly pale. While she typically paid little attention to physical beauty, the person before she caught her eye.
As the nurse attended to the patient, she mentioned, âOnce the IV is complete, you may leave. Feel free to talk while I attend to other tasks.â
After the nurse departed, the patient timidly asked, âAm I in the hospital?â
This was obviously a rhetorical question, but Yaxley patiently gave an answer.
âYes.â After responding and rubbing his temples, Yaxley asked with concern, âAre you feeling 1/3 Chapter 331 She Still Couldnât Accept It uncomfortable anywhere?â
The nurse had checked her basic condition before leaving, and she hadnât even expressed basic concern. Yaxley noticed that her complexion was abnormally pale, so he asked to ease the atmosphere.
As soon as he said that, Yaxley felt a bit uncomfortable.
He usually wouldnât say such things, nor was he the kind of person who could say such things.
Just a little dizzy.â Fanny lay on the hospital bed, still not fully awake, staring blankly at Yaxley.
Fanny only remembered that it was raining after she came out of the rental house. At first, the rain wasnât heavy, and she didnât mind. Getting a little wet in the rain helped her stay calm when she was in a bad mood.
But as the rain got heavier, her mood also became lower. She was crossing the road in the rain when a bright light flashed, and then she fell to the ground.
When she woke up again, she was in a hospital.
âDizzy? It could be from waking up suddenly,â Yaxley suggested, inquiring. âDo you feel any discomfort anywhere?â
Fanny attempted to move her limbs and sit up on the bed.
As she tried to push herself up, Yaxley quickly reached out to support her.
âBe careful. Youâre on IV. Yaxley cautioned as he helped her sit up.
With his assistance, Fanny sat up and softly expressed her gratitude. âThank you.â
âNo need to thank me. If youâre not seriously injured, Iâll take my leave,â Yaxley said, checking the time.
It was getting late, and this unexpected incident had eaten into his rest time significantly.
âPlease wait.â Fanny feared he would leave without a word, so she grabbed his hand and hastily asked, âDid you save me? I canât let you cover the medical expenses. Iâll reimburse you.â
She felt compelled to keep him around, not just to repay him but also because she felt a sense of familiarity with him, though she couldnât place where.

Fanny bit her lip, met Yaxleyâs gaze, and inquired. âCan I have your contact information?â
Fanny bit her lip, met Yaxleyâs gaze, and asked, âCan I have your contact information?â
She still didnât want to give up and wanted to get Yaxleyâs contact information.
Having a keen eye for social status, Fanny was convinced that Yaxley came from a better background than Christopher.
The thought of Christopher made Fanny uneasy.
Politely declining Fannyâs request, Yaxley stated, âI donât think itâs necessary.â
Though he found Fanny attractive, he admired her from a distance and had no intentions of further acquaintance. His focus was on his research and studies at the moment.
âBut...â Fanny hesitated.
Ever since learning that Christopher was in Northland and actively dating, Fanny couldnât shake off her restlessness.
Feeling unsettled, she subconsciously sought out someone superior to Christopher.
âIf youâre feeling better, Iâll take my leave,â Yaxley said.

Dealing with family matters earlier had left him drained, and he longed to return to his hotel. room for some peace and quiet.
âIâm fine. Thank you,â Fanny replied as Yaxley departed.
After Yaxley left, Fanny realized she had been away from the villa for too long and worried that Dylan might be upset.
Unable to find her phone, she borrowed one to inform Dylan of the accident and her plan to return in the morning.
Pleased with Fannyâs softened demeanor, Dylan mentioned taking her to a dinner party that evening before ending the call.
Thinking of Christopher, Fanny accepted Dylanâs invitation without hesitation.
