Aaron lay on the hospital bed, his head wrapped in bandages, his handsome face looking somewhat weak. However, the look he gave Selena was one of fury. Selena instinctively hid behind Aveline.

Inside the room, it wasn't just Aaron. Lucas was sitting in a chair nearby, exuding a powerful and cold presence. As soon as she entered, his gaze fell on her.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Aveline ignored Lucas and addressed Aaron. "Mr. Fletcher, my friend didn't mean to hurt you. She will cover all your hospital expenses and compensate you for any losses. What do you think?" Aaron sneered. "I think I'd like to hit her on the head with a fire extinguisher."

Aveline frowned. "Violence is not the answer."

Aaron's mouth twitched, glaring at Selena hiding behind Aveline, and then glanced at Lucas before saying, "As for compensation, I don't need money, but I do need a nurse."

Selena offered, "I will hire the best nurse to take care of you."

Aaron replied, "I don't want that."

Selena asked, "Then what do you want?"

Aaron stated, "I want you to be my nurse. You misunderstood me and hit me. You must feel guilty, so you'll take good care of me. When I'm fully recovered, this matter will be over."

"Impossible!" Selena's eyes widened. "I have a job. I can't take care of you. Name another condition."

Aaron responded, "Miss Quin, let's get things straight. I am t making demands here, not you

Selena bit her lip.

Aveline hesitated before asking, "Is this really necessary?"

Aaron said, "Yes, it is. Otherwise, Il sue her. Even if she doesn't go to jail, she will be detained and have a criminal record. Her company won't want her anymore."

Aveline gave him a cold look. It seemed Lucas' friends shared his unpleasant traits.

Selena protested, "How can you be so shameless? I didn't mean to hurt you. Besides, if you hadn't been acting weird around that girl, I wouldn't have hit you. In the end, you brought this on yourself." Aaron closed his eyes. "Fine, no more negotiations. Call the police. Lucas, get my lawyer on the phone.

Selena's face turned even paler.

Aveline took a deep breath and looked at Selena. "How long can your company give you off?"

Selena hesitated for a moment. "At most, half a month."

Aveline turned to Aaron. "She'll take care of you for half a month. By then, you should be pretty much recovered. How about that?"

Aaron still kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

The atmosphere in the room became tense.

Just as Selena was about to explode, Lucas, who had been silent, spoke up. "Alright, half a month is enough. Besides, aren't your worried that your admirers will get jealous if this drags on?" Aaron opened his eyes. "Aveline, I'm only agreeing because of Lucas. Without him, your friend would be looking at jail time."

Aveline's expression remained neutral.

Selena bit her lip, wanting to say something, but Aveline gave her a look. "It's only half a month. Take good care of him and don't act impulsively again."

Ave..." Selena started, but Aveline cut her off with a gentle smile.

"Mr. Fletcher is not only handsome but also comes from a good family and has a good character. How could he possibly hold a grudge against you? He just wants a little compensation." Then she turned to Aaron. "Mr. Fletcher, you are truly kind!"
