The Ex-Wife Strikes Back By Queena Laurie
Chapter 44

Chapter 44

“Are you kidding me? Why would you go back to school with a concussion? No, listen to me. Stay in the hospital first. Once the doctors have observed your condition and made sure that there are no major issues, you can go back to school. Just ask your classmate to request a leave for you. If you are still worried, I can personally make a trip to your school and request the leave for you!”

“Aurelia, you really don’t have to do this. It’s just a small problem…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a nurse in the operating room came out with a stack of documents and called out, “Scott, has your family arrived yet? Settle the medical expenses and ambulance fees!”

“Well, I…”

Scott’s young face suddenly burnt with embarrassment. Aurelia immediately understood the situation and came forward hurriedly to accept the documents from the nurse.

“Give them to me. I’m his sister, miss. Does my brother still have any symptoms of a concussion? Please arrange a ward for him in your hospital immediately and let him stay for observation for a couple of days!”

“You’re his sister?”

The nurse’s eyes were filled with astonishment and disbelief, but she didn’t make any remark about the matter. Instead, she simply took a glance at Scott and said. “That’s fine. The attending physician already suggested he stay in the hospital for observation earlier, but the patient insisted on going back to school. Does he want to stay now? If that’s the case, i will go to the attending physician to request a hospitalization order night away!”

“Yes, please, he is staying. Please arrange a single–room ward for him!”

Without any second thought, Aurelia took charge on behalf of Scott.

“A Aurelia, I-

“Stop talking. You already suffered a concussion. What if there are other potential issues if you weren’t examined by the doctor? If you still consider me as your sister, you should listen to me!”

“Fine!”

Noticing Aurelia’s concern and arrangement for his affairs, Scott couldn’t help but feel deeply moved, his feelings evident both in his heart and in his

expression.

His classmate could also tell that although Scott and this woman named Aurelia had only known each other for a short time, it was obvious to everyone that she cared about him sincerely.

He couldn’t help but feel jealous inside his heart. “How did a poor boy like Scott meet such a nice ‘sister‘?”

“Thank you, miss!” Seeing that the nurse was still standing in front of her, Aurelia couldn’t help but frown slightly and said that. Only then did the nurse come to her senses abruptly and turned around to walk back into the examination room.

“Scott, sit in this chair for a while. I’ll go through the formalities for you!”

“Aurelia, I don’t have much money with me. I..”

“Scott, if you keep treating me like a stranger, I’ll be really angry! What’s the problem with using my money for hospitalization? Are you worrying that my money isn’t clean?” Aurelia said.

“No, no, Aurelia. That’s not what I meant. I just…”

“I know that you feel bad. If it were someone else, I wouldn’t care. But you are different. We seem to have hit it off at first sight. Alright, don’t worry about these things. Just stay at ease and focus on recovering from your injury.”

After saying that, Aurelia scuried to the hospital’s payment counter.

Once Aurelia’s figure was out of sight, Scott’s classmate couldn’t help but exclaim in a hushed voice, “Scott, your luck with women has come. You better seize it. Aurelia obviously has a thing for you!”

“Don’t talk nonsense. It’ll be bad if someone else heard it. Aurelia just treats me as her brother. Daniel, don’t spread rumors when you get to school!”

Scott’s heart skipped a beat but he hurriedly and anxiously reminded his classmate to not spread any word to anyone at school. It could tarnish Aurelia’s reputation

“You are still pretending, huh? Any clear–minded person can see it. You’re the one being clueless. Hey, I’m telling you, you should seize this opportunity. Although she seems a few years older than us, she is beautiful and rich. As long as you seize this opportunity, you wouldn’t have to worry about your school fees in the future.”

“Shut up, Daniel! Don’t insult Aurelia, and don’t belittle my integrity. I am not that kind of person. Even Even if I fall in love with her one day, it is definitely not because of her money! I’ll sever ties with you if you talk nonsense again!”

Scott’s young face instantly turned red with anger, and his eyes were fierce as if he wanted to rush forward and start a fight with Daniel, which startled Daniel greatly.

However, Daniel knew Scott’s personality well enough. Scott was famous for his sincerity. Besides, he thought what he said to Scott was indeed a bit

rude, so he awkwardly fell silent.

Noticing that Daniel didn’t respond anymore, Scott didn’t persist any further. His face still didn’t look quite normal, appearing a bit weary. He said to Daniel, “Anyway, Daniel, thank you for bringing me to the hospital. You can go back to school now. I’ll be fine here. Please request a few days‘ leave from the professor for me!”

“Well, no problem. I’m leaving!”

Daniel felt it would be awkward to continue staying, so after he bid goodbye to Scott, he immediately turned around and left.

Therefore, when Aurelia came back after going through the formalities, she saw Scott sitting alone on the plastic chair in the corridor.

“Scott, did your classmate leave already?”

Scott raised his head, slightly averting his gaze from Aurelia. He was still upset by what Daniel said before but didn’t want Aurelia to notice his expression.

“Yes, there’s a lot of stuff to do at school. He went back first! Aurelia, am I really going to be hospitalized?”

“What are you talking about? I have already paid. Why aren’t you staying? I’ll go get the hospitalization form from the nurse, and then we can go to the ward!”

“Aurelia…” Scott called her again.

Aurelia turned around and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Well, thank you! Really!”

Scott was truly moved and felt indescribable warmth in his heart. Despite his excellent grades, he had been struggling to fit into his surroundings ever since becoming an orphan, which was actually very difficult for him.

Aurelia was the first person to show such care and provided so much assistance for him without any reason. Before this, they were just strangers who had only met once.

Could it be that Aurelia really had a thing for him?

The thought made Scott’s face blush uncontrollably.

Aurelia had no idea that her subconscious care for him would induce so many thoughts in his heart.

Even if she did realize it, faced with Scott, who was currently injured and needed observation, she would still be generous enough to provide him with such care, which might seem a bit inexplicable from his perspective.
