Chapter 24 Payment For The Ride

A look of intense bitterness swept across Edmund's face after he didn't get an answer from Chelsea.Hestill couldn't understand how she could change so much.He was so annoyed that she dared not torespond to him when he asked her a question.

Edmund's mind traveled back to when Chelsea had asked him for a divorce in front of so manypeople.He had never been that embarrassed in his life.

This memory caused the inferno in his chest to burn even more ferociously.To vent his anger, hestepped on the gas and drove recklessly.

Chelsea held her chest with one hand.

In horror, she looked at him and said, "Do you want to kill us? You are driving too fast.Slow down!"

When Edmund heard those words and saw that Chelsea's face had turned pale, he calmed down andslowed down the car.

"Are you afraid of dying?" he asked with a sneer.

"Since a wealthy man like you doesn't fear for his life, why should I? I just asked you to slow downbecause it's inappropriate for you to die with me.If at all you want to die, you should do so withDiane.So, it will be said that you both died in love," Chelsea said in a relaxed tone.

This statement kicked up Edmund's anger again.She was driving him nuts.

If it weren't for the scald on her arm, he would have stopped the car and thrown her outimmediately.For the rest of the ride to the hospital, the two of them didn't say a word to each other.

Edmund took her straight to see Chris Warren when they arrived.Chris was a top surgeon and a friendof his.Once they entered the office, Chris stood up and exclaimed, "Chelsea!"

Chris, like Edmund's other friends, was fully aware of all that happened between Edmund andChelsea.He knew that they had a messy divorce.

Thus, seeing both of them together took him aback.

Chelsea didn't beat about the bush.

"Good day, Doctor Warren.Please help me check if my scald is serious.It was scalded by hot coffee awhile ago.I have only put ice on it."

"Oh, okay!"

Chris, who had zoned out, came back to his senses.

After examining her arm carefully, he said, "The scalding is not that serious.Thankfully, it didn't get tothe inner layer of your skin.Since there are no blisters, it won't leave any scars after it gets healed.Yourarm will be swollen and it may hurt badly.But it should heal after a few days."

"Okay, that's good."

Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief.

"l’ll prescribe some ointment that will relieve the pain.Please apply them judiciously."

"I will do that.Thank you," Chelsea said with a nod.

Chris was a professional doctor, so she was willing to do whatever he said to make her arm better.

Once he handed her the prescription, Chelsea walked to the door, ignoring Edmund.But she suddenlystopped in her tracks.She shook her head thoughtfully and then took out a hundred-dollar bill from herbag.

Chelsea walked up to Edmund, put the dollar bill into his breast pocket and said, "Thank you for drivingme to the hospital.This is the fare.You can keep the change."

The eyes of Edmund and Chris widened in shock as they watched her.

Chelsea pretended as if she didn't notice their expressions and left.

Having known that Edmund was a proud man who would never take money from her, Chelsea hadintentionally put the dollar bill in his pocket.She didn't want to owe him anything.

Chris's mouth was agape as he watched the scene in front of him.

When the door was shut, he blinked hard to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

The cold and alienated woman who just walked out of his office wasn't the Chelsea he once knew.

A while later, he shuddered when he realized that everything that just happened was real.
