Chapter 208 He Needs to Take Responsibility for Her

Rupert had a defiant look in his eyes, but his gaze involuntarily looked towards the stands.

Just now, it was really bizarre!

How did he just throw the ball over there?

Ariella was hit hard. Her blood couldn’t be stopped, and the clothes in front of her were all stained with blood.

Cecelia was helping to hold her nose. She and Cynthia were helping Ariella to leave the audience seats.

Shepard climbed over the railing and ran over. “How’s Ariella?” “She’s still bleeding!”

As soon as Cecelia’s voice fell, Ariella collapsed.

“Ariella fainted. We need to get her to the hospital!” Cecelia shouted.

“I’ll carry her!”

Shepard quickly stepped forward to catch his sister, carried her, and ran out.

Cecelia and Cynthia quickly followed.

They all left the basketball court, got into Shepard’s car, and headed for the hospital.

Rupert’s team also left. Remington came over to greet him, “Jackbone, what happened just now?”

“How should I know? My hand just slipped!”

Rupert was upset. He didn’t mean to hurt that chubby girl on purpose.

Remington didn’t know what had happened between Rupert and Ariella, and suggested, “You’d better come with me to check on her later. You need to pay the medical expenses!”

“I know!”

Rupert was like a child who had done something wrong and followed Remington out.

Remington first took Petunia and Doris back to the Taylor family. Although he was reluctant to part with Doris, for the sake of being with his daughter forever in the future he would work with Cecelia to 70%

Before that, he had to find Cecelia to discuss the matter of paternity testing.

Remington, taking Rupert, rushed to the hospital and met Cecelia and Cynthia.

“How is Ariella doing?”

Remington asked Cecelia.

Cecelia glanced at the two men and said, “Shepard has taken her for a brain CT scan. A concussion is possible.”

Unable to contain herself, Cynthia asked, “Rupert, did you hit her? I saw you throw the ball at her.

Why?”

With a cold tone, Cecelia asked, “Rupert, why did you hit my friend with the ball? What kind of grudge do you have against her?”

Rupert scratched his head, speechless.

“Was it because she touched you when she was drunk last time,

SO……

“No, absolutely not! It was not intentional!”

Rupert explained awkwardly.

“You are intentional. If anything happens to Ariella, you have to take responsibility!” Cecelia warned bluntly.

Before long, after completing the CT scan, Ariella was admitted to the ward.

Holding the CT report, Shepard, seeing that Rupert was also present, approached menacingly.

“Rupert! You dare to come here! Look at what you’ve done to my sister!”

Clearly spoiling for a fight, Cecelia stopped Shepard. “Shepard, calm down. How’s Ariella?”

“Moderate concussion, broken nose!”

Shepard handed the report to Cecelia, then lunged at Rupert, grabbing his clothes, “My sister came to watch my game. You injured her badly. What were you thinking? If you have a problem with me, let’s fight one-on-one! Only jerks attack a woman!”

Shepard thought it might be due to friction from their previous game

that ‘Rupert sought revenge!

“Shepard, don’t be impulsive! Let’s talk it out!”

Cecelia and Remington both stepped forward to take them away from each other, finally separating the two.

“Mr. Jackbone, no matter what, you should apologize,” Cecelia reminded him.

“That’s right. Apologize now!” Remington urged.

Rupert had never encountered such a situation before and had no choice but to back down today.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hurt that chubby… Ah, I mean Miss Nuno. I apologize. I’ll cover all her medical expenses!”

Rupert apologized. Shepard glared at him fiercely.

Cecelia mediated, “Shepard, since Mr. Jackbone has apologized, let’s drop it. He’ll be responsible for Ariella’s medical costs, and if there are any aftereffects, you can find him. He can’t escape.”

If it weren’t for Cecelia, Shepard wouldn’t have let it go so easily.

Cecelia took the bill from Shepard and handed it to Rupert. “Here, Mr. Jackbone, take it! Hurry up and pay the bill!”

Rupert took the bill and left the ward without a word.

The situation was settled. Remington said to Cecelia, “Cece, I’ll go with Jackbone to pay the bill first.

Come find me later!”

“Okay.”

After they left, Cecelia looked at Ariella on the hospital bed. Her nose had been bandaged, and she was still unconscious.

“Shepard, don’t worry too much. Ariella will get better.”

Cecelia reassured, “We’ll be watching over here. Why don’t you go change your clothes?”

Shepard was still in his basketball uniform. There were many blood stains on his clothes. Staying in the hospital like this was not good.

“Okay, I’ll go change in the office. Could you help me look after Ariella?”

“Don’t worry Dr. Nuno. I’m here! I’ll take care of your sister!”

Cynthia volunteered, not considering herself an outsider at all, even

After spending some time in the ward, Cecelia was going to find Remington. “Cynth, watch her for a bit.

I need to discuss something with Remington.”

“Sure, sure, go ahead. Take your time, and don’t rush back!”

Going to see her brother was a good thing for Cynthia, so Cynthia was fully supportive.

As Cecelia left the ward, checking her phone and walking along, she passed a room just as someone came out.

When Sean saw Cecelia at this time, one could imagine how he felt.

“Cecelia! You dare to come?”

Cecelia paused, looking up to see Sean. She asked without expression, “The hospital isn’t your home.

Why can’t I come?”

“Look at what you’ve done to Ollie!”

Sean pointed to the woman lying in the ward. Cecelia glanced over and could see Ophelia with her head fully bandaged, severely injured.

“Do you know Ollie had to have 13 stitches on her face! You’ve disfigured her. How is she supposed to live the rest of her life?” Sean shouted angrily.

“That’s perfect. It’s time to test your love. If you love her, marry her and take care of her for the rest of her life.”

Cecelia said with a mock smile.

Sean’s face turned very ugly. He didn’t know if he had the courage to accept the disfigured Ophelia, not to mention a woman who had a mastectomy.

“You… don’t evade the issue. It’s you who caused her to get hurt. You should be responsible!”

“And if I refuse?”

“Then don’t blame me for not being polite! You will suffer today!” Sean finally found a valid reason to go after Cecelia.

“You dare touch me? Believe it or not? I’ll send you straight to the emergency room?”

“I don’t believe it!”

He didn’t believe he couldn’t defeat a woman face to face!

Sean gritted his teeth and threw a punch at Cecelia’s face.
