Chapter 1119 Do You Want a Discount?
The phone repeatedly rang. Saskia swiped to answer without leaving the room. After her mother spoke, she muttered, "I'll be right back, Mom."
Claire watched her hang up. Saskia put her phone away. "Parker Stone went to my house for an apology and insisted on seeing me. He won't leave unless I go home."
"You know what? You can't forgive him. All right?" Claire was too agitated, almost sitting up. "You haven't married yet, but he cheated on you with another woman in the hotel. What will happen after you marry him? He's already betrayed you. Dump him!"
Her legs moved, so Rowan had to adjust the camera again. "Stay still," he reminded her.
Claire glanced at him and added, "Saskia, you cannot forgive him, OK? No matter how much you love him."
"I got it." Saskia was anxious. "Sorry, Claire. I must go home. Call me when you're done."
"Go ahead. I'll be fine."
Saskia bowed at Rowan, "Doc, I'll leave Claire to you. Thank you so much." Then she turned away hurriedly.
Claire lay still. Rowan adjusted the equipment to avoid moving her injured leg.
Meanwhile, the kitchen of his villa was full of food fragrance. Daphne checked the time several times, thinking he must be on the way home.
The hospital.
Claire hopped on her left leg after finishing the X-ray. Rowan didn't help her. While studying the radiograph, he left the room.
"Your bone is fine. It won't be difficult to deal with it." Rowan carefully studied it. "It has a sign to crack, though. That's why it hurts so severely."
"What?" Claire sat in a chair. "Do I need to stay in the hospital?"
"You'd better check in," Rowan answered gently, "You cannot walk by yourself. It's better to rest on the bed."
"But..." Claire was anxious while thinking about her pregnant sister-in-law.
Rowan leaned against the table, holding his arms across his chest while staring at her, waiting for her decision.
After a thought, Claire looked into his eyes. "I'll take my doctor's advice and check in."
"There's a ward next door. Go ahead to lie down." Rowan sat in his chair. "I'll set up your profile before prescribing you the medicine."
"I heard you were researching special medicines." Claire suddenly became excited. "Will it stop hurting after I use the medicine?"
"You still need to rest in bed." Rowan typed the keyboard with his slender fingers with a smile. "I'm not God."
Ignoring her, he started to enter her data seriously. "Name."
"Claire Russell." Claire was about to hop out of the door. Looking back, she asked, "You don't know who I am?"
Rowan raised his head while staring at her in confusion.
"I mean, we met before. Don't you remember?" Claire suddenly thought he must be too busy to remember her.
She chuckled, "You should know Finnley Russell. He's my cousin. I came here with my sister-in-law for pregnancy care this morning. We met a few times before."
"So?" Rowan answered, "Do you want a discount?"
Claire was slightly taken aback. "No. No. No. I don't need a discount. Thanks, though," she explained.
"I know how tough your job is. You must live on commissions." A bright smile remained on her face. "I'm not too poor to afford the medical feel. Please print the check. I don't mind the fee."
Rowan frowned. After darting at her, he loosened his eyebrows. "Go to the ward. You can scan the QR code after the bill is available."
"OK."
Claire turned around and hopped out. Holding the door frame, she looked back and asked, "Left or right?"
"Right," Rowan answered simply without raising his head.
