Seeing Byron come out injured, Martin felt a bit flustered.
On the way to the hospital, Byron tried to distract Athena's attention and said, "The kid called me. He was delayed by something and asked me to apologize to you. Next time we meet..."
"Did you get hurt because you were distracted while talking to him on the phone?" Athena looked up at Byron.
Her eyes were stern.
Byron was slightly startled and said, "No. I was too careless."
"Byron, I don't like him. Can you ignore him and not meet him in the future?" Athena frowned and said, "You get hurt every time you see him. It happened when you saved him the first time, and then in the park. Last time you went to his hometown, you fell into the lake..."
"Athena..."
Byron hurriedly hugged Athena and patted her back lightly in a panic. "I'm fine. Just relax, don't be so nervous."
Athena pressed her forehead against Byron's chest with mixed feelings in her heart.
Byron's wound was not deep and did not even require sutures. The doctor obviously thought Athena was making a fuss over a small matter.
He simply disinfected and bandaged the wound, and prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs.
"Look. I told you I'm okay." Byron still tried to comfort Athena.
At this time...
"Mr. Crawford, Mrs. Crawford!"
Athena and Byron followed the voice and looked over. It was Rebecca.
Athena greeted politely. "Are you here because you are unwell?"
"It's not me..." Rebecca glanced at Byron's bandaged hand and said, "Mr. Crawford, what..."
"I got a cut accidentally. Athena was worried and insisted on bringing me here to bandage it," Byron replied.
"Mr. Crawford and Mrs. Crawford, you really love each other," Rebecca withdrew her gaze and smiled politely.
"Shouldn't you leave for your work?" Athena was afraid that Rebecca would find out something.
"I'm done. Something happened to Daisy..." Before Rebecca could finish, Ennis walked out from the corner.
"Mr. Crawford, Ms. Stella, what a coincidence!" Ennis was surprised, and glanced at Byron's bandaged hand.
"Did anything happen to Daisy?" Athena became more nervous. "What is it?"
"She slit her wrists trying to kill herself," Rebecca replied, "She had a nervous breakdown when she found out her mother was dead."
Athena felt suffocated and asked, "How is she now?"
