The entire room fell silent.
The nurse and doctor, who were poised outside the curtains, waiting to help, exchanged nervous glances.
Even though they did not know the full story of what happened between this patient named Nikki and this woman named Bonnie, they could piece together some clues from their conversation.
It was probably because Bonnie had gotten into trouble and called Nikki's brother for help, which brought him out of their house and ultimately led to her incident.
Even though they pitied Nikki for this tragedy, it was...unreasonable of her to force Bonnie to kneel and beg for her forgiveness.
After all, Bonnie was not the one who had assaulted her.
Besides, she had no relation to the man who had done this to Nikki, either.
Bonnie was neither an accomplice nor the mastermind, and she had just asked Nikki's brother for help when she was caught in trouble.
The nurse sighed and said in a low voice, "I guess we still have to ask Nikki’s brother to come in... Judging from Bonnie’s clothing and looks, she's not an ordinary folk...so how can we expect her to kneel to Nikki for forgiveness?"
The doctor nodded in agreement, then replied in a tone that was only audible to the two of them, "You'd better get out there and find Sean. I'm worried that these two will get into a fight."
The nurse nodded and left the room.
"What's wrong? Don't want to do that?" Nikki sneered, seeing that Bonnie did not respond. "How can you say you're sorry for what happened to me when you're unwilling to beg for my forgiveness? You're just a two-faced, manipulative woman, Bonnie Craig! You..."
Before Nikki could even finish her sentence, Bonnie sighed, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, and got to her knees slowly. "I'm sorry, Ms. Wheeler."
Then, she lifted her pale face to smile at Nikki, who was utterly shocked by this. " I've done as you asked, so you should probably stick to your word and put on your clothes now. "
