Chapter 3192 The Hard Way

Scorpion? Both Megan and Jonas were taken aback, with the former recalling the situation from earlier. Don't tell me she hid a scorpion in that box of cockroaches?

"Show me your hands, Megan! Quick!" Jonas yelled with trepidation.

Without bothering to wait for Megan to react, he snatched up her hands and found a striking red mark on one of them.

It was then that Megan felt a burning sensation spreading through her fingers and noticed some signs of swelling. Frantic, her hands started trembling and her lips turned pale.

As she was born in the countryside, she knew that a scorpion sting wasn't fatal, but she was still afraid of that possibility.

I haven't even gotten my revenge yet. Even if I die, it has to be after Mia and Herman!

"Snap out of it! We need to get you to the hospital!" Jonas' brows pulled into a deep frown. When Megan remained in a trance-like state, he directly scooped her into his arms. Isabelle, who was still lying on the ground, almost burst a vein upon seeing this.

But at that moment, no one could care less about her feelings.

As they entered through the hotel's back door, Megan finally regained her senses and started struggling in Jonas' arms. However, he kept a firm grip on her and anxiously rushed toward where his car was parked while Donna covered him all the way. Within a few minutes, the three of them finally boarded his car. Jonas hurriedly started the engine and sped toward the hospital.

They reached the hospital ten minutes later. After the doctor examined Megan, he informed them that the sting wasn't life-threatening, but Megan could be hospitalized for further observation if they were really worried.

The moment Megan heard about being hospitalized for further observation, she couldn't help but do a double-take at the doctor. She had lost count of how many times she encountered similar situations back in the countryside, which she then settled with a simple band-aid. Coming to the hospital was already a luxury. Being hospitalized was simply unwarranted.

"It's fine. There are so many other patients. I don't want to occupy a bed when I'm not sick." After Megan's wound was tended to, she moved to leave.

However, Jonas held her back and said in a firm tone, "Stay here for a night. I'll arrange for a single room. It was my fan who harmed you, so I should take responsibility for this."

As they stood in the doctor's consultation room, Jonas' features were concealed behind a pair of shades and a face mask, but Megan could imagine the unrelenting look he was wearing. Since the first time he came to her rescue, Megan already knew that he was a man with a strong sense of responsibility and morality.

This time was no different than the last, but Megan was disinclined to accept his gesture of goodwill.

"I don't blame you for any of this, so don't worry about it." Megan briefly looked at the spot where she was stung, then waved goodbye and calmly walked out of the consultation room. However, Jonas had no intention of letting her leave. His long legs made a move quickly and stopped in front of Megan. "Megan, are you really going to make me use the hard way?" Although he was constantly rejected by her, he wasn't offended at all because he only had one goal in mind, and that was to make sure she was hospitalized.

Hearing the way he was threatening her, Megan looked up at him with a cold expression. Growing impatient, her brows scrunched together as she countered, "Oh, the hard way, huh? Well, I'd like to see just what you have in mind."

The next second, Jonas bent down and place her over his shoulder. Megan was stunned for a split second, then her cheeks flushed a crimson red and she thrashed against him, causing passersby to look over curiously.

"Put me down!"

Ignoring her struggles, Jonas growled at her in a fierce tone, "Behave yourself!"

Megan had never been yelled at by Jonas, so she blinked in surprise. The words she was prepared to say were stuck in her throat, and her heart galloped in her chest.

Unexpectedly, this gentle-looking man had a stubborn side, and there was absolutely no stopping him when he had made up his mind on something.

Ugh. What a difficult man.

Realizing that struggling was futile, Megan stopped moving altogether. Moments later, Jonas carried her to the east wing of the building. After going through everyone's curious stares, they finally arrived at the door to a single room.

Upon entering the clean and tidy room, Jonas put Megan back down. However, as soon as her feet touched the ground, her body tilted sideways and she almost fell.
