Chapter 4 Pick Her Up
604 Words
The car stopped on Aelvale Road and Carina opened the door to get out.
Rolando said to the driver, "Give an umbrella to Ms. Osborn."
The driver then gave her an umbrella.
She opened her umbrella and got out of the car before saying to Rolando, "Mr. Mendez, thank you."
"You should do rather say something to show your appreciation." Rolando Looked indifferent.
Although he made sense, she still found it weird.
"Be safe," Carina said as she took a step back. She then turned around and limped toward the residential area.
In the car, Rolando said to the driver, "Stop."
When the car stopped, Rolando took another umbrella and got out. He caught up with Carina and stopped her.
Carina turned around, surprised to see Rolando again.
"Mr. Mendez?"
"Get in the car."
"Why?"
"You're injured. You have to go to the hospital."
'How come she's that careless? Doesn't she know she's injured?' Rolando thought.
Carina lowered her head to look at her legs.
"I'm fine. A good rest will solve everything."
"Are you a doctor? Why don't you write yourself a prescription? Get in the car. " With that, Rolando stuffed his umbrella into her hands without any explanation and walked towards the car.
With a yelp of astonishment, Carina dropped the umbrella to the ground.
Rolando ignored the umbrella and stuffed her inside the car.
Anxious, Carina exclaimed, "No, I can't go to the hospital. I still have a tutoring session."
"A tutoring session? That means you only quit your job as Triston's tutor?"
"I ..." She didn't dare speak more.
It was true.
Rolando snorted, he got into the car and said to the driver, "Take us to the hospital."
She looked at the residential area that was just a few steps away from her and couldn't help but feel anxious. However, she couldn't bring herself to speak, feeling a mix of guilt and embarrassment.
At the hospital, he took her to the orthopedic department.
When the doctor asked her where the pain was, Carina blushed.
"I-it doesn't hurt anywhere."
The doctor glanced at Rolando, not knowing what to do.
"Miss, you came here for an examination, so please cooperate."
Rolando, who stood by her side his arms crossed, spoke coldly, "Get her a complete set of examinations."
Carina hurried to shake her head.
"No! I'm all good. A set of examinations will be too expensive. I won't do that."
"Yes, you will," Rolando insisted. "I will pay. I don't want you to pester me for today's car accident in the future."
Feeling offended, Carina looked at him. "I won't do that."
"Human beings are complex. You told me that you quit your job because you would be occupied with your thesis, yet it turned out to be a lie. People can't distinguish a liar from her face. Everyone can look innocent and honest."
Carina wanted to defend herself.
"I..."
'I lied because I don't wanna embarrass myself again!' thought Carina.
The doctor made up the examination list and asked the nurse to lead the way.
When she left the room, she secretly asked the nurse, "How much do these examinations cost?"
The nurse took a look and said, "Over a grand."
Carina immediately took the form from the nurse's hands and limped back to Rolando.
"Can I have a word with you, please?"
"Sure."
Carina bit her lips.
"I don't need all those examinations. My leg is fine. My leg doesn't hurt. But my ..."
She lowered her eyes and blushed.
Rolando frowned.
"What is it?"
She angrily raised her eyes and glared at him.
"My private part hurts."
