CHAPTER 1275 DISCARDED CHESS PIECE
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Tiffany was sent to the house to rest, Hendrey called a doctor to diagnose the unconscious woman.
The final result was quite shocking to him.
He knew that Veronica didn't like Tiffany, but he never expected Veronica to go crazy the moment she lost control. owns © this.
"It was a hard slap. Her eardrum ruptured. You need to take her to the hospital."
When Hendrey heard the doctor say that, he frowningly looked down at the woman lying on the bed.
Her face was almost identical to Veronica's, but their personalities were completely different. Even standing together, their temperaments were like night and day.
"I understand. You can go leave now," Hendrey responded.
He went on and sat in the bedroom for some time.
Tiffany, lying on the bed, woke up from her unconsciousness. She moved her facial muscles and winced in pain, whispering, "Ouch... It hurts..."
She reached out to touch her face, but even a gentle touch caused excruciating pain.
Not only that, her cheek felt swollen like a loaf of bread.
"You're up." Hendrey got up and walked over, his gaze cold and indifferent as he looked at Tiffany. His icy expression revealed no joy or anger.
Tiffany supported herself with her hands on the bed and sat up. "How long was I unconscious?"
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Tiffany was sent to the house to rest, Hendrey called a doctor to diagnose the unconscious woman.
Hendrey raised his wrist and glanced at the time. "You were unconscious for over two hours."
Suddenly, Tiffany raised her hand to touch her ear, furrowing her brows. "Hendrey, why can't I hear clearly?"
When Hendrey spoke to her just now, Tiffany was initially worried about her face being disfigured, so she didn't pay attention.
It wasn't until Hendrey spoke the second sentence that she realized belatedly that she couldn't hear anything from her left ear.
She paled in fright and lightly tapped her ear with her hand. However, no matter how she tapped, she couldn't hear a sound in her ear.
"What's wrong with me? Why can't I hear anything? Call a doctor! Quickly call a doctor for me!"
Terrified and unwilling to accept the reality, she began to turn as white as paper.
On the other hand, Hendrey stood calmly by the side. "I already called a doctor just now. He said that you have gone deaf in your left ear."
In fact, Hendrey had ulterior motives.
His feelings for Veronica, whether in the past or now, had never changed.
He both admired and liked her.
But because he was powerless, he couldn't protect Veronica. Still, he couldn't tolerate Tiffany's repeated recklessness.
Let this time be a lesson for her.
Hendrey roised his wrist ond glonced ot the time. "You were unconscious for over two hours."
Suddenly, Tiffony roised her hond to touch her eor, furrowing her brows. "Hendrey, why con't I heor cleorly?"
When Hendrey spoke to her just now, Tiffony wos initiolly worried obout her foce being disfigured, so she didn't poy ottention.
It wosn't until Hendrey spoke the second sentence thot she reolized belotedly thot she couldn't heor onything from her left eor.
She poled in fright ond lightly topped her eor with her hond. However, no motter how she topped, she couldn't heor o sound in her eor.
"Whot's wrong with me? Why con't I heor onything? Coll o doctor! Quickly coll o doctor for me!"
Terrified ond unwilling to occept the reolity, she begon to turn os white os poper.
On the other hond, Hendrey stood colmly by the side. "I olreody colled o doctor just now. He soid thot you hove gone deof in your left eor."
In foct, Hendrey hod ulterior motives.
His feelings for Veronico, whether in the post or now, hod never chonged.
He both odmired ond liked her.
But becouse he wos powerless, he couldn't protect Veronico. Still, he couldn't tolerote Tiffony's repeoted recklessness.
Let this time be o lesson for her.
"It's impossible! How can that be? How could I suddenly become deaf from a slap? It's impossible."
She was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes, and she agitatedly threw off the blanket and ran outside.
But Hendrey tightly held her arm. "Don't you believe me?"
"Let go! Release your grip! Let me go!"
Tiffany shook her hand, but with Hendrey holding on too tightly, she couldn't break free at all.
She roared hysterically, "Let go of my hand! I want to see a doctor. I can't be deaf! No!"
Being deaf was like being half disabled.
Tiffany couldn't accept her physical "defect."
Furthermore, she couldn't hear clearly because she had lost her hearing in one ear. The only thing she could hear in her left ear was a constant ringing.
It felt like someone was tightly covering her ears. The faint buzzing was extremely uncomfortable.
"If you go to the hospital now, it's equivalent to telling the outside world that you are already deaf. Do you think you are worth anything if people found out about your loss of hearing?"
Hendrey was calm. "The hidden clan will not accept a disabled leader. If you cannot compete for the position of the head, you will be a discarded chess piece."
