As soon as Edmund and Chelsea got to the lobby, Zuri arrived and rushed after them.

After getting out of the car, she ran to Chelsea while still in high heels and pushed Edmund away on purpose, as he was about to help Chelsea up. Seeing him next to her made Zuri furious.

Edmund was stunned for a while, as he tried to regain his balance from the sudden shove.

Zuri then went to help Chelsea and asked worriedly, "How's your ankle? What did the doctor say?"

Chelsea tried to calm her down. "Don't worry. It's just a little red and swollen. I was told to rest for a few days and avoid putting pressure on it so that it won't get worse."

Zuri sighed in relief. "Someone can't just stop hurting others. You were fine at the dinner, but the minute you went out with him you sprained your ankle. Isn't that just ironic?"

She just didn't like Edmund and Zuri wasn't doing anything to hide that fact. Orlando or Luka was better than Edmund in her mind because they were sincere when it came to Chelsea.

They really loved Chelsea, so she knew they would take good care of her. They wouldn't let her get hurt on their watch.

But what about Edmund?

He was only satisfied when Chelsea was hurt. The more she thought about it, the angrier Zuri got.

Edmund couldn't even defend himself from the woman's criticism.

Because what Zuri said was right. He was the reason why Chelsea sprained her ankle. He was the one who always hurt her.

Chelsea pulled Zuri's arm, silently begging her to shut up before the scene became even more awkward.

Just then, Luka came over to them after parking the car. He nodded to Edmund out of courtesy and then turned to Chelsea. "Let's go up."

Chelsea glanced at Zuri briefly and said, "Zuri will go upstairs with me. Mr. Pierce and Mr. Nelson, you can both go back. Don't worry about me."

Luka said, "It will probably be inconvenient for you to walk around for the next few days. I'll make some food for you before I leave. At the very least, I can prepare breakfast for you tomorrow."

Hearing that, Edmund couldn't help but think that Luka was too pretentious. Did he think he was now awesome because he could cook?

Chelsea only sprained her ankle, but there was chivalrous Luka offering to cook for her.

Just as Chelsea was about to refuse, Zuri beat her to it and said, "That's great. Mr. Pierce, although I can help take care of Chelsea, my skills in the kitchen are non-existent."

She then invited Luka to go with them upstairs, "Let's go. I want to taste the food you cook."

Since Zuri had gone ahead and invited him, there was no way Chelsea could refuse.

So, she went to Edmund. "Mr. Nelson, thank you so much for taking me to the hospital. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest."

Then the three of them went to Chelsea's apartment, leaving Edmund alone in front of the building, with anger swirling in his chest.

On his way back home, he called Yusuf and complained that Luka was so acting like the perfect gentleman in front of Chelsea.

But even Yusuf seemed to be on Luka's side. "I think what Luka is doing is right. Men should be caring for the woman they like, shouldn't they? If you don't offer to please her, then how will she know you are the right man for her?"

Edmund was calling to complain about Luka, but what Yusuf said irritated him even more. Even his friend didn't think he was good enough for Chelsea.

Yusuf went on, "Don't ever blame me for not reminding you. Luka is always there to protect Chelsea and care for her when she is weak. It's easy to win her heart that way."

Not able to stand more praises for Luka, Edmund hung up the call before his friend could finish.

After the three of them got to the apartment, Luka went to the kitchen and soon came out with two sandwiches. "I'm sure you two didn't eat much at the dinner party. You can have these for now."

"Oh, Mr. Pierce, you are so considerate," Zuri praised dramatically.
