Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 176
The air in the car was a little depressing after the phone call.
After pondering for a while, Chelsea finally broke the silence. "It's all over, Edmund. I don't want to cause any trouble. You don't have to send Sonya abroad."
"No, it's not over. It's just the beginning," Edmund shouted angrily.
Chelsea bit back the words she had wanted to say. He was clearly in a bad mood, so she decided to keep silent.
He was free to do whatever he deemed fit.
Chelsea took a deep breath and whipped out her phone to call Luka. "Hello, Mr. Pierce. I won't be returning to the banquet hall. I sprained my ankle."
Luka instantly became worried. "What? How did that happen? Are you okay? Where are you now? I'll come to get you."
"It's nothing serious. Don't worry about me. Mr. Nelson is taking me to the hospital now," Chelsea hurriedly said.
She intentionally didn't call Edmund by his first name.
With a remorseful tone, Luka uttered, "I'm sorry, Chelsea. I brought you to the banquet as my date, but I failed to protect you."
"No! This is not your fault, it's mine," Chelsea said quickly.
"Once the doctor attends to you, please give me feedback on whatever he or she says, okay?" Luka ordered resignedly.
"Sure thing!" Chelsea agreed.
After she hung up the phone, she looked out of the window and took in the beautiful night scenery.
She and Edmund seldom went out together while they were married.
His family gatherings were the only occasions they attended together. They both lived completely different lives as if they were just housemates.
While Edmund was taking the business world by storm and making a name for himself, Chelsea was always at home.
Edmund kept her away from the public eye. He always avoided questions about his marriage and also never took her out for any social functions.
This wasn't because he wanted to protect her. He did it because he didn't care about her.
Chelsea was jarred out from her deep thoughts after they got to the hospital. Edmund parked the car and tried to carry her out. However, she refused.
The hospital was crowded. She didn't want to draw attention to herself being too close to Edmund.
"Please get me a wheelchair at the reception desk. Or better still, I could hop in slowly." Chelsea tried to move her injured leg as she spoke.
As far as she was concerned, hopping was a better option than for him to carry her.
"The distance is quite long. How do you intend to hop all the way on one foot?" Edmund queried, narrowing his eyes at her.
He didn't need to be told that Chelsea was trying to avoid getting held by him.
Since he couldn't carry her against her wish or allow her to suffer pain any further, he decided to go in and ask for a wheelchair.
He reasoned that he was only doing this because she was injured.
However, he couldn't help but admit that she was so stubborn.
After Chelsea sat in the wheelchair, Edmund put his suit jacket on her again. Her waist was bare, so he feared that she would catch a cold tonight.
The doctor examined Chelsea's ankle briefly. He then said, "You will be fine, ma'am. None of your bones got broken. Only some soft tissues were injured. You just need to massage your ankle with some ointment regularly. Take a good rest at home. Don't stress yourself or even walk for some days."
Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, that's good to know. Thank you, Doc."
"Doesn't she need to have an X-ray done?" Edmund asked worriedly.
