It was broken. There was blood flowing out from the abrasion.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson quickly pressed the wound with a tissue. He no longer had the time to be angry.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing a hospital not far ahead, he ordered the driver, &#8220;Kolby, stop at the hospital.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OK!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey stayed silent obediently. The car stopped. Bryson pulled her out of the car.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson looked anxious, which made the doctor anxious too, thinking that it was a big emergency &#8230; Bryson pushed Audrey out, who only had a small scratch on the joint of her pinky finger.<\/p>\n<p>The doctor who was prepared to welcome the patient almost drove them out when he saw the finger that Audrey extended.<\/p>\n<p>There was no need for treatment, it was just a minor abrasion and the blood had been stopped by the tissue.<\/p>\n<p>They took up the resources of urgent cases at night just for a minor finger scratch.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there were no first-aid patients at that time, otherwise, they would have been kicked out.<\/p>\n<p>Under Bryson&#8217;s request, the doctor had to disinfect the wound and put a bandage on it.<\/p>\n<p>After it was done, the doctor reminded, &#8220;Keep this finger away from water tonight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey looked at the doctor awkwardly and nodded.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I get it. Thank you, doctor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The doctor glanced at them and left the room.<\/p>\n<p>During the whole time in the hospital, Audrey was embarrassed. Hurting her finger was part of her plan. This was a stupid idea, however, once started, she had to finish it.<\/p>\n<p>She could only let the doctor do what he should do even he seemed to be questioning.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, the process was quick. Otherwise, she would want to dig a hole and hid in.<\/p>\n<p>More importantly, her plan had succeeded.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey lit up her finger that was wrapped in gauze. &#8220;Bryson, look, I&#8217;m already injured, so don&#8217;t be angry, okay?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Looking at the gauze on Audrey&#8217;s finger, Bryson pursed.<\/p>\n<p>The injury couldn&#8217;t be more minor. However, no matter how minor it was, as long as it concerned Audrey, he just couldn&#8217;t remain calm.<\/p>\n<p>Ever since they left &#8220;the Palace&#8221;, Audrey had been trying to soften him up by apologizing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wasn&#8217;t angry with you!&#8221; Bryson said with a milder tone.<\/p>\n<p>Wasn&#8217;t angry with her? Then who was the person who had been throwing tantrums just now? His twin brother?<\/p>\n<p>Audrey blinked. She did not dare to ask who Bryson was angry with.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019d better keep her mouth shut.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson gently hugged Audrey in his arms. &#8220;I was just angry with myself.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Audrey buried her face in Bryson&#8217;s arms and hugged him back, her voice muffled.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why are you angry with yourself?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m such a negligent boyfriend.&#8221; Bryson&#8217;s voice was slightly hoarse. &#8220;I said that no matter what happens, as long as you stand behind me, it will be fine. However, I didn&#8217;t make it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson&#8217;s words made Audrey feel even more guilty.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You did well. There are many things that I want to settle alone.&#8221; Audrey continued. &#8220;Bryson, I don&#8217;t want to be your burden. I don&#8217;t want others to think that I am dragging you down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You are never a burden to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson&#8217;s face clouded a bit. He grabbed Audrey&#8217;s hand and walked towards the door. &#8220;You better don&#8217;t drink with other people again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that Bryson had calmed down, Audrey finally breathed a sigh of relief.<\/p>\n<p>Entering the corridor, where was no one around, Audrey suddenly pulled Bryson back.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson turned around in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey pouted as a gesture.<\/p>\n<p>Bryson was just about to kiss her when noticed something out of the corner of his eyes. He stopped and frowned, seemed to be lost in thought.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey was just playing around and wanted to see if Bryson would be able to kiss her bearded face.<\/p>\n<p>However, he didn&#8217;t. Audrey was down in the dumps.<\/p>\n<p>She looked at Bryson with an upset look.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t you kiss me? You don&#8217;t like me anymore, do you? Didn&#8217;t you say that no matter what I become, you will always like me?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bryson didn&#8217;t say anything.<\/p>\n<p>He looked in the direction behind Audrey awkwardly.<\/p>\n<p>Audrey thought that Bryson was deliberately avoiding her gaze and became even angrier.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Alright, I got it. You said that no matter what I become, you would always like me. You lied to me on purpose!&#8221; Audrey continued sadly, &#8220;In that case&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The doctor!&#8221; Bryson reminded, impassive.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t fool me with the doctor, doc&#8230;&#8221; Audrey turned around in cold sweat and saw the doctor who had just bandaged her up. No one knew when he had appeared behind her.<\/p>\n<p>At that moment, Audrey felt like screwed up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-3559","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/3559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
