Conquest Game: The Aloof Husband is Dangerous!-Chapter 239 - 210: Mister, Do You Really Have to Follow Me Everywhere?
She wondered: Doesn’t Aethelburg have a hospital that specializes in serving foreign compatriots?
What on earth is going on here?
Laura Quincy had no clues in her mind. She remembered she was still in her sophomore year, and when passing by the basketball court, she unfortunately got hit in the head by a basketball...
Then that man took her to the school’s infirmary...
But, how did she wake up in such a strange hospital?
Laura really wanted to find someone to ask, but when she looked around, all she saw were unfamiliar faces, and she had no idea where to start.
Suddenly, she thought of something and reached out to feel for her phone, only to find that her hospital gown was completely empty, and she had nothing...
Oh no!
Could it be that all her personal belongings are in that room?
But, she left in a hurry and couldn’t remember the way back, nor did she notice which room number it was.
As she was secretly regretting, she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Laura!"
She didn’t need to turn around to know it was that man from earlier...
Jason Hawthorne walked up to her in a few steps, seeing her bewildered look made him more certain that he couldn’t let her wander off, or he’d regret it for the rest of his life if he lost her...
Laura looked at him impatiently, "I say, man, do you really have to keep following me? I really don’t know you! How many times do I have to tell you?"
Jason Hawthorne forced himself to hold back his frustration, "Laura, do you know where this is? You’re not familiar with this area or its people, please promise me you won’t wander off, okay?"
Laura pursed her lips and looked at him, cautiously asking, "Where is this?"
Jason Hawthorne gently uttered the word, "Aethelgard."
Laura’s eyes widened in disbelief, "What? Aethelgard? You’re saying this is the capital of Fiorina?
Jason Hawthorne nodded, it seemed Laura’s memory was really having issues, her appearance didn’t seem like she was faking it...
So, did this mean her current state was the same as when she was 20?
The heavens were truly playing a joke on him, or perhaps it was deliberate to punish him for his actions back then!
Letting him get to know 20-year-old Laura all over again, ha!
Even though she saw him nod, Laura still found it hard to believe, and in disbelief, she grabbed a passing nurse and asked in English, "Is this Aethelgard?"
The other person gave her a surprised look, then nodded, "Yes."
Laura: "..."
Her expression was a bit blank, what was going on? She clearly remembered being in the infirmary! How could she have ended up in Aethelgard?
Could it be that this was just a dream?
Thinking of this, she quickly pinched her cheeks hard...
Only to find it hurt, hurt so very real.
Jason Hawthorne sighed as he watched her, "Laura, it’s time to see the doctor, I’ll explain everything to you afterwards, okay?"
Laura looked at him with a baffled face, and after a long pause, spoke, "Man, what exactly is going on here? I was clearly in the school’s infirmary, how did I end up in Aethelgard? I remember not even applying for a visa..." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Her latter words were almost murmurs, but Jason Hawthorne heard them.
"I have a private jet."
"What?"
Laura asked again, thinking she had misheard.
Jason Hawthorne sighed, "You didn’t hear wrong, let’s go!"
With that, he reached out to hold Laura’s hand, but she dodged, giving him a guarded glare, as if to say: Don’t touch me!
Jason Hawthorne had no choice but to give up and went with her to the attending doctor’s office.
After the doctor gave Laura a detailed examination, "Mrs. Hawthorne, you have a head injury, and the bruising on your face may take some time to fully heal, but there are no serious issues with the rest of your body. However... you still need to stay in the hospital for observation."
Laura, after processing it for a while, realized she hadn’t looked in a mirror since waking up, and couldn’t help but ask, "Where’s the mirror?"
The attending doctor glanced at Jason Hawthorne, and before he could respond, Laura had already picked up the phone on the desk and pointed it at herself.
Even though the phone screen wasn’t very clear, Laura could immediately see the large bruise near her left eye and... half of her face was swollen...
She stood there dumbfounded once more...
The attending doctor, seeing her reaction, tried to comfort her, "Mrs. Hawthorne, you don’t need to worry too much, this is just an external injury. Last night’s brain CT scan showed no problems..."
Laura abruptly interrupted him, "What did you call me?"
Her attention earlier had been entirely focused on the words "facial bruising," not noticing how the doctor addressed her. But hearing it again, she couldn’t help but react.
