Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 193

Gazing intently at Moore's sorry face, Jean stared at him in a daze. She didn't know what to say.

The fact is that it was she who hit Moore and put him in the hospital to fight for his life. It was she who should apologize.

'But is there anything wrong? How could Moore be apologizing to me instead?' she thought.

"Moore, please don't say that anymore. It was a grave mistake on my part as my car hit you. Anyway, let's not blame ourselves anymore. We will be laughed at when others see how we are taking responsibility for this,"

Jean smiled, hoping to put a stop to this.

"What will they laugh at? Will they laugh at us just because we are agreeable like friends, and there is no misunderstanding between us? It will be jealousy, okay?" Moore shook his head and sighed,"You don't understand. When you didn't get out of the car for a long time when I was hit by you, and I lay there helpless, I thought, 'Oh no!' I must have met a coward. He will run away while I am still dizzy."

"No wonder you were desperately calling for help. Was it so that I would not be able to escape?" A wide-eyed Jean asked.

"That's what I was initially thinking. But when I saw you, it was different. You didn't look like an irresponsible person. Otherwise, you wouldn't have looked after me all night without sleeping a wink," Moore smiled gratefully.

"Oh, this reminds me. Moore. Why don't you blame me? Is it just because I accompanied you last night?" Chewing on her lip, Jean said,"Please don't get such an idea. My driving caused the accident and I am responsible for you. Your medical bills, mental harassment and nursing fees, all will be taken care of by my lawyer..."

"Umm... Jean, don't do this. Although we have just met, it feels like we were fast friends for quite some time." A shadow of a doubt crossed Moore's face. He interrupted Jean unhappily.

"But..." Jean wanted to continue what she was saying but closed her mouth as she saw the expression on his face.

"You needn't bring this up any more. If you will occasionally visit me in the hospital, don't speak such rubbish things to me. I might be an orphan but my foster parents were very good to me. They left me with enough money for the rest of my life. Each of us is responsible for the accident. Please, understand, I don't need you to pay for the medical expenses."

Moore sounded serious and earnest as he said these words in a breath.

Dumbstruck, Jean looked at him with her mouth slightly open, searching for an appropriate response to what Moore had just said. In utter turmoil, she thought, 'Did I mishear him just now?

Does Moore not want me to take the responsibility or pay for the medical expenses either?

It must be the strangest accident to have ever happened in H City! Maybe, Moore has been knocked silly and isn't of sound mind?'

Thinking of this, Jean couldn't help but stretch her hand to touch Moore's forehead and see whether he had a fever.

Quiet but simmering with hurt, Moore was affronted when he saw Jean out of the blue tried to check if he was okay. His face turned cold at once and he shouted,"What are you doing?"

"I...I just want to see if you have a fever... Otherwise, how could you say such strange words?" Hearing those words out aloud, Jean blushed with embarrassment and bit her tongue.

'What?' Moore was baffled and didn't know whether to cry or to be angry.

'What a silly girl! She seemed to be very smart when facing Shirley. How could she be so silly before me?'

"I'm all right. And I can assure you that what I have said just now were all from the bottom of my heart." Moore helplessly tried to prove the sincerity of his words.

"I... am sorry..." Jean blushed even more and smiled bitterly,"All the people around me are those who do everything for their own benefit. And so, I was shocked when you said your piece."

'It almost made my heart jump out, okay?

Whether Moore is too good, or all the people I met are the bad guys who care only for their interests.
