CHAPTER 711: CHAPTER 711: I DECIDE FOR MY GIRLFRIEND

"Who are you saying will pay for it?" A clear voice rang out from outside the door.

The person who came in was Finnian Lawrence, with a face as calm as water.

He hadn’t yet had the chance to settle the score with Philip Lawrence, and now he bumped into him at the hospital.

He rushed to the hospital in a panic after receiving a message from Nora Northwood, not expecting to hear Philip Lawrence yelling at the door without any manners before he even entered.

Whether the second uncle’s family regretted how their daughter picked up such habits abroad, he didn’t know.

Finnian Lawrence bypassed everyone and stopped directly beside Lily Sloan, asking her, "How did it get so badly burned?"

Lily Sloan felt guilty, not daring to answer, thinking she could hardly say it happened while ranting about him and forgetting to turn off the hot water...

Finnian Lawrence didn’t press the question, instead inquiring about her condition with the doctor.

"You’ll need to treat the blisters and apply medication for a few days, but it’s nothing serious."

Hearing the doctor’s final words, Finnian Lawrence was somewhat relieved, but the noise behind him flared up again.

"Finnian Lawrence, did you hear that? The doctor said she’s fine. It’s you and I who are family; why are you caring about an outsider?"

The eldest Miss was showing her temper.

Finnian Lawrence, who had been tense the whole way, finally relaxed a bit now, and couldn’t stand the noise.

He was always gentle with others, but now, facing Philip Lawrence’s repeated rude remarks, he was losing his restraint.

"There’s more than one doctor in this hospital. Either go see someone else or endure it; after all, it’s not life-threatening," he said coldly.

Even Lily Sloan was witnessing his uncharacteristic impoliteness for the first time.

While Lily Sloan was watching the spectacle, Dr. Carter quickly pierced the blister.

Lily Sloan cried out in pain, and before she realized it, her wound was mostly treated.

She thought: The doctor isn’t bad at all!

As a result, of course, Philip Lawrence left dejectedly.

Nora Northwood also retreated to the corridor outside the office, hesitating whether to hand Lily over to Finnian Lawrence.

By chance, Finnian Lawrence came out supporting Lily, saying, "Get her a few days off. The doctor said her hand can’t do much for a while."

Nora glanced down and almost couldn’t hold back a laugh.

Those soft little hands were wrapped in bandages layer upon layer, like a braised pork trotters.

Lily Sloan complained to Nora, "You’re laughing at me!"

"I’m not laughing anymore. Rest well after you get home. Don’t worry about work for now, and contact me anytime if you need help."

After leaving the hospital, Nora Northwood returned to VK, leaving Lily Sloan in the care of Finnian Lawrence.

She thought: The two just had a quarrel and can use this chance to mend fences.

In the car.

Lily Sloan was momentarily speechless since they had argued just over ten hours ago, and thinking about the cause of her injury, she didn’t know how to start the conversation.

Finnian Lawrence broke the silence first, "Stay at my place for a few days; the housemaid will take care of your meals and rest."

Lily Sloan instinctively refused, "I don’t want to; I want to go home!"

"Is there anyone at home to look after you?"

An utterly simple question left her speechless, for indeed, there was no one to take care of her at the Sloan Family home.

Mr. Sloan was engrossed in company affairs, Mrs. Sloan busy traveling the world, leaving Sloan Family as an empty shell.

Lily Sloan rented an apartment near VK for the convenience of work and rarely went home.

From her silence, Finnian Lawrence got his answer, and he directly started the engine, heading to his place.

During a stop at the traffic light, he sent a message to the housemaid.
