Nikita stood by the bed. After a moment's silence, she asked, "Why did Uncle George suddenly...Auntie Gerda, don't hide from me, tell me what happened?"
In the hospital bed, listening to Nikita mention her husband, Gerda frowned, a trace of sadness flashed under her eyes.
She held back tears rolling around the corner of her eye. After a while, her voice was hoarse: "The hanging tower on the construction site fell...he was..."
Nikita nodded: "So, is it a work-related accident? What did the builder say? Is the compensation unreasonable?"
Gerda bit her lip. After a long time, she said sadly, "Niky, don't ask about this matter anymore. I'm a little tired. Adele, send them to the downstairs for me."
Then, Gerda turned over and closed her eyes.
It's like she's exhausted and sleepy.
Coming out of the ward, Nikita gently closed the door.
She was silent all the way.
Until the little girl sent them to the hospital gate, Nikita looked at her, "Adele, what happened to your father? What agreement did those people want your mother to sign, and why didn't your mother sign it?"
Thinking about it, Nikita felt that it should not be for little compensation.
Gerda was awkward. She seemed that she wanted to say something, but couldn't.
She intuitively thought it's not that simple.
If it is just a normal work-related injury, it will be finished by paying compensation directly, so as not to make so much trouble.
