If Rosalind knew that Brett purposely didnât stop her bleeding just so Leonardo could see her in that state, Rosalind would summon her last bit of strength to give Brett a resounding slap and scold him for lacking medical ethics.
But in her current state of excruciating pain, Rosalind had forgotten where she was and remained unaware of Brettâs intentions.
Nevertheless, Brett diligently conducted other examinations, paying particular attention to critical areas such as her head, eyes, and bones. Once he confirmed that Rosalind only had a minor concussion, Brett sat down.
As expected, within fifteen minutes, Leonarda burst into Brettâs emergency room.
âWhereâs Rosalind How is she?â
Leonarda tried hard to suppress las anxiety, but the sweat beads on his forehead betrayed him.
âI knew you would come quickly, but I didnât expect you to be this fast. Mr. Brooks, it seems you have deep feelings for this woman.â Brett said with a mocking smile.
Brett couldnât help but feel a strange sense of satisfaction as he looked at Leonardoâs anxious face, which remained. unchanged even in the face of a dire situation.
It appeared that even the cold and indifferent man, who had severed ties with love, could display such emotions for the sake of love.
âI asked you how she is, so why are you blabbering?â
Leonardo was annoyed. He hadnât seen Rosalind yet, and Brentâs teasing expression made him wish he could tear lum apart.
âLook, sheâs lying over there.â
Brett pulled the curtain aside, revealing Rosalind on the hospital bed Rosalindâs eyebrows were tightly furrowed, her face contorted in pain, and her lips pressed together as she endured. something with great force.
Seeing the bloodstains on Rosalindâs face, Leonardo felt a mix of heartache and anger.
âBrett, you intentionally delayed stopping her bleeding for so long. Are you trying to quit?â
Leonardo stepped forward and held Rosalindâs hand, wanting to gently brash away the hair stuck to her face. However, fearing that he might cause her pain, he withdrew his hand.
Brett raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat guilty. Although he continued to complain, I was just examining her a moment ago. How could I be free?
Despite his words, Brett didnât dare to further delay. He had already witnessed enough of the spectacle today. If he continued in this manner, Brett believed that Leonardo would undoubtedly throw him into Anulina, a povertyâstricken area where nothing grows.
With that in mind, Brett quickly picked up disinfectant, cotton swabs, and gauze to clean and bandage Rosalindâs wound. However, as soon as the cotton swab soaked in disinfectant touched Rosalindâs wound by Brett, she involuntarily gasped her face scrunching even tighter.
âBe careful, canât you see sheâs in pain?â
âDonât shake your hand. What if it hurts ber?â
âDo you even know what youâre doing? Canât you see sheâs wincing in pain?â
âBrett, if you donât start taking this seriously and end up hurting her, Iâll make you regret it!â
Leonardoâs gaze remained fixed on Brettâs hand and Rosalindâs expression. Every time Rosalind winced, even if it was just a slight furrow of her brows, Leonardo would shoot Brett a fiercely angry look Brett suddenly felt immense pressure.
Brett realized he had dug himself into a hole. He shouldnât have neglected treating Rosalindâs wound earlier just to see Leonardoâs reaction.
Otherwise, he wouldnât le gazed at by Leonardo every time when he touched Rosalind.
It was just a minor surgery, but he was sweating profusely on his forehead.
âYouâre staring at me like this, and Iâm under a lot of pressure. If you startle me and make my hand tremble, itâll be your fault, not mine!â
Bren couldnât hear it anymore. He stopped his actions and helplessly Inoked at Leonardo, 13.52 âAre you having an excuse?â
Leonardo coldly glanced at Brett, his eyes filled with shrewdness and restrained anger, as if he saw through everything. Leonardo wasnât foolish. Initially, he had been too anxious to think clearly.
However, upon seeing Rosalindâs injury and recalling how relaxed Brett was when he arrived, sitting comfortably with his legs crossed, what didnât Leonardo understand!
This guy wanted to see Leonardo worried about Rosalind. Brett wanted to see Leonardo lose control.
In his heart. Leonardo snorted. It was quite an entertaining joke. Once Rosalind recovered, he would definitely teach Brett, this cunning fellow, a valuable lesson and make him regret his actions.
Brett was scared and instinctively swallowed his saliva. He felt as if he had somehow provoked this cold and irritable man, and Brett sensed that he was in deep trouble.
Forcing himself to regain composure and control the trembling in his heart, Brett cautiously continued to clean Rosalindâs wound.
Although Rosalindâs wound was neither large nor small, Brett administered a small amount of anesthesia and stitched it up. By the time Rosalind was bandaged, she had already fallen asleep, and Brett could feel sweat dripping down his back.
Seeing Leonardoâs continued expression of concern, Brett couldnât resist speaking up âDonât worry, her injuries are not serious. The wound on her forehead appears more significant, along with a slight concussion, but thereâs nothing else wrong. Iâve thoroughly examined her,â
Brett explained preemptively to minimize any potential retaliation from Leonardo, âHow can you say itâs not serious when the wound on her forehead is bigger than mine? And a concussion too. Are you sure there wonât be any lasting effects?â
âItâs a mild⦠a mild concussion, Brett corrected himself involuntarily.
Damn it, Brett truly lived up to being a medical expert, perfectly capturing the accuracy.
There was quite a difference between a mild concussion and a concussion.
Leonardo gave Brett a cold stare, seemingly waiting for him to continue.
Brettâs mind raced, and suddenly he had an idea âDonât worry, a mild concussion wonât cause amnesia or some melodramatic aftermath like blindness.
She wonât forget a single thing about the mistakes you made in the past!â
Brett spoke nothing but the truth, but Leonardoâs eyes grew colder, and his expression turned menacing.
âWith your medical skills, it seems like Haldorin is wasting your talents. Maybe you should go support Anulina instead, what do you think?â
âPlease, my dear Mr. Brooks, donât do that. This is an opportunity for you and Rosalind to reconcile.
Kindness shouldnât be repaid with enmity.â
Brett vowed never to interfere in Leonardoâs affairs again. Truly, good deeds went unrecognized.
Brett genuinely wanted to give Leonardo a chance to spend time with Rosalind and, incidentally, to see how much Leonardo truly valued her. It was wellâintentioned.
If Leonardo were to banish Brett to Anulina, it would be such a loss.
Just then, Jonas, who had finished paying the fees, walked in nonchalantly.
âWhatâs wrong with this hospital of yours! Itâs like buying a ticket for a tourist attraction with all these people waiting⦠Jonas complaints abruptly stopped when he saw Leonardo, Why was Leonardo here!
As Jonas pondered, he couldnât help but ask, âMr. Brooks, hi, what brings you here?â
