Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 485

Neil was clearly in a bad state, pathetic even.

A pang of guilt fluttered in my heart, but as soon as I remembered that it was all his doing, the guilt vanished.

“Why didn’t you let go of me?” I muttered.

“I didn’t let go? Then how did you get up?” Neil, with a sour expression, caught my words. “I’ve been hurt twice tonight. You must take responsibility.”

If Norah was home, I might have considered taking Neil to the hospital, paying his medical bills and taking care of him. But I couldn’t leave, so now that he insisted on me taking responsibility, I could only transfer him some money.

After I transferred the money, Neil’s phone pinged.

He looked at his phone, his expression nuanced, then he looked up at me and asked, “Is that how you take responsibility? By giving me money?”

“Well, what else can I do? I don’t have any other way to take responsibility.” I replied helplessly.

“Don’t you know how to treat wounds?” Neil scanned the room and asked, “Don’t you have a first aid kit at home?”

I was pretty sure Neil was not right in the head.

Karina, a full-fledged doctor, was right at his place. He just had to go home and tell her he was hurt, and she would surely treat his wound, more so than going to the hospital.

But no, he wanted me to treat his wound, which was simply absurd.
