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.”
