Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 879

When Joshua finally arrived at the hospital, the doctor was in the middle of cleaning and bandaging Fiona's wound.

He could not stop himself from complaining to his assistant, who was watching from the side, "Why didn't you tell me to come earlier, knowing how serious her wound was? You're useless!"

The assistant bit down on her lip and answered in a slightly sheepish tone, "She looked perfectly fine, and she even said she was fine. She was just scalded by a cup of coffee, so I didn’t take much notice of her. I didn’t know that..."

She did not know how serious this patient's burn was!

At this moment, Joshua strode into the room.

The first thing he saw when he entered was the string of blisters on Fiona's abdomen, as tightly strung as a chain of pearls.

As soon as he saw this, Joshua furrowed his brows." What happened?”

The doctor’s explanation sounded so severe that Joshua froze. Then, he lifted his head and shot Fiona a somber glance. "Tell me what really happened.”

Fiona bit down on her lip, then finally stammered, "M s. Luna has been hiding things from me lately. Even though she and I are on the same team, she's never shown me the design sketches before... I thought that because of what happened in the past, she probably still had reservations about me, so I made a cup of coffee and brought it over to her in an attempt to alleviate the tension..."

Fiona could not stop her tears from falling as she continued, "But... I didn't go at the right time, and she wasn't in her office when I arrived. Then, the power got cut off all of a sudden, and I panicked in the darkness. I think maybe I walked in the wrong
