Veronica and Eleanor sat on a bench in the hospital corridor after paying the hospital fees. The police approached them for questioning soon after. At the same time, Melvin was pushed out of the emergency room.
Veronica quickly went over and asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is he?"
"He has a mild concussion and some soft tissue injuries. He needs to be hospitalized for observation. If there are no issues, he can be discharged."
The doctor briefly explained the situation to Veronica.
Melvin, who was lying on the gurney, looked at Veronica and shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you. I will explain it to the police."
Then, he was pushed into the ward by a nurse, and they followed along.
After settling in the ward, the police, who were responsible to investigate the accident, and Veronica entered the room.
Melvin, whose head was bandaged, lay weakly on the bed and was put on an IV drip.
"Are you okay?"
Veronica walked up and asked concernedly.
Eleanor, who was sitting at the side, glanced at Melvin and said, "He shouldn't have crossed the road without looking. It was his fault."
Melvin glanced at Veronica and then at the woman next to her in a red dress. He couldn't help but sigh at the sight of both of them where one exuded a cold vibe and the other had a captivating allure. It was a sight for sore eyes.
He thought to himself, Although Eviette possesses a classical beauty, she is just on par with Veronica.
However, if you take a closer look, Veronica's features stand out more compared to Eviette who resembles that of an influencer which diminishes her distinctiveness.
He wondered if Matthew would really be interested in Eviette.
"I'm really sorry, it was indeed my fault," Melvin said with a guilty expression, then he turned to the police officer. "Officer, this has nothing to do with her. It was me who was jaywalking at that time."
