The Woman From Hell

"There are no external injuries. Let us go and take an X-ray scan to see if there are any injuries to your bones." Mason stood up.

Theo carried Cindy out while Mason followed.

“Doctor Mason, can you help me bandage my wound first?” I asked in a gentle tone as I watched them leave.

The blood was still flowing from my hand. No one cared about me, and I could not ruin myself just because of both of them.

Theo stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at me with a frown. He said to Mason, "You stay here."

Mason did not say anything. He turned around and took out some tools. He then gently pulled out the remaining porcelain pieces from my wound using a tweezer before cleaning, disinfecting and bandaging the wound.

As expected of a famous doctor, his movements were skilled and gentle.

"Miss Lane, the wound is very severe. To avoid infection, it is best to take some antibiotics." Mason's tone was distant and polite. He paused for a moment and continued, "Actually, you do not have to suffer like this."

I heard that it was said, "Good friends will advise you to reconcile, but best friends will advise you to break up." Yet, Theo's good friends would always find opportunities to persuade me to divorce.
