Chapter 114
Vicky followed after Tyler to look at the situation. Tyler glanced at her lightly and
said nothing.
The doctor and nurse in the clinic were trying their best to persuade Nikki.
âMiss Mayland, your fingers are cut by the shattered vase. If you donât get it
treated in time, youâll risk having infections. Youâre a pianist! What if you cant
play-â
âIâd rather this than be a sting in someoneâs eyes after getting it treated. I prefer
to have my finger ruined,â interjected Nikki.
Enter titleâ¦
The waitress chimed in and tried to persuade her. âNikki, this is your body.
You shouldnât do that to your bodyâ¦â
âIf I donât do it, someone else will not be happy,â Nikki replied.
Just when she finished talking, the door of the clinic opened as a womanâs cold
voice rang out, âMiss Mayland, are you referring to me?â
Nikki unconsciously looked up and saw the handsome man behind Vicky. Her
eyes lit up at the sight.
âMister Hart.â No one knew if Nikki purposely ignored Vicky.
âMiss Maylandâs finger is hurt. Why are you not treating her?â
âShe refused to have them treated,â reasoned the doctor anxiously. âI canât do
anything.â
Vicky said indifferently, âMiss Mayland, you play the piano for a living. Your hand
is more important to you than normal people. Itâs best if you have them treated
before you throw a tantrum.â
Nikki curled up his pale lips into a faint smile. âMissus Hart, I believe I can make
the decision for my body. Donât worry. Iâm the one who chose not to have them
treated. If anything happens, itâs none of your business.â
Vicky smiled and said, Miss Mayland, it is indeed my fault that I accidentally
knocked you over and caused you to fall, resulting in your fingersâ injuries. Iâm
sorry. Now, can you let the doctor treat them?â
Nikkiâs eyes shrunk. âAccidentally?â
Vicky looked at her. âDonât tell me you think I did it on purpose?â
Nikki unconsciously glanced at Tyler, who merely stood quietly in the room. His
handsome face was devoid of emotions, and none could tell what he was
feeling.
Nikki averted her sight and said coldly, âIf you say you didnât do it on purpose,
then you didnât.â
Even a fool could tell the implied message in what she said.
Vicky sighed helplessly. âI was talking on the phone just now, and I lowered my
head to think of something, not seeing you in the process. That was why I
accidentally knocked you over and caused your finger to be cut by the shattered
vase. I, hereby, apologize to you for my unintentional action. I hope you wonât
hurt your body just because youâre angry at someone.â
She was indeed at fault for looking at where she walked and knocked Nikki over
where Nikki was hurt. There was no problem for her to apologize to Nikki since
she made a mistake.
She thought about it and said, âIâll reimburse your medical bill and whatever loss
you have.â
A clear sarcasm and irony appeared in Nikkiâs eyes. She sneered, âI know. Iâll
leave Stoneford City as soon as possible.â
Vickyâs eyes widened. âWhat do you mean by that, Miss Mayland?â
âI played the piano in the bar you frequented. I resigned from the bar and played
in the restaurant, yet youâre there too. Stoneford City is a big city, but I donât
think thereâs any place for me. If thatâs the case, itâs better for me to leave.â
âMiss Mayland, are you implying that I chased you away from the bar?â Vicky
asked.
Nikki sported what seemed to be an understanding smile. She said with a low
voice, âOf course not. Iâm the one who decides to leave the bar. It has nothing to
do with you or anyone else.â
Every word she said was not related to Vicky. Yet, the expression and the
implied message in her sentence suggested that Vicky had everything to do
with her decision.
