The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 177

Maverick furrowed his brows and glared at Elven. His dark eyes were filled with an icy chill. “Did you just say that Gwendolyn went to the police station last night?”

Elven was particularly unlucky.

It was William who had asked the police from the station to call him, saying that they should keep the news from Maverick for now, so he could recover from his injuries. However, they ended up getting caught red-handed.

“Mr. Wright, don’t worry. Mr. Harris is there with Ms. Shalders, so she won’t fall into a disadvantage. I guess she’ll be released by noon after taking a simple statement.”

How can I possibly be at ease?

She spent the night at the police station yesterday, and it’s so cold inside. I bet she couldn’t sleep well at all.

Elven stopped him when he was about to turn around and go downstairs.

“Mr. Wright, you can’t be discharged yet. The doctor mentioned that it was not simply concentrated sulfuric acid that was splashed on your body this time. They need to run some chemical analysis, and you need to stay in the hospital for observation.”

Maverick ignored Elven.

After taking a few steps, suddenly, he felt something well up in his chest, resulting in a sweet and metallic taste in his throat.

He coughed twice while covering his mouth. There was some blood on his fist. His original pale lips were also tainted with a small circle of bright red.

Upon seeing Maverick cough up blood, Elven was in extreme shock. He hurriedly supported him by the arm back to the ward before turning to look for a doctor.

Maverick stopped him as he said, “I’m fine. There’s no need to make a fuss.”

“You’re coughing up blood! How can this possibly be a trivial matter? We need to find a doctor and get a thorough medical examination again.”

Maverick grabbed him and emphasized, “It’s really nothing serious. I didn’t cough up blood. I just bit my tongue accidentally because I was too anxious. Don’t make a big deal out of this by telling Gwendolyn. She already has a lot of unresolved issues on her end, and I don’t want to increase her burden.”

“Really? Are you sure you just bit your tongue?”

Elven was a bit skeptical.

Maverick nodded calmly. Seeing that Elven was wavering, he said, “I’m a bit hungry. Could you help me get some oatmeal and bring it up for me?”

“The hospital cafeteria should have it. I’ll ask the nurse to bring it over for you.”

Elven was about to press the call button by the bed when Maverick stopped him. “I don’t want to eat the food from the hospital. I’d rather have something from Dunearn Hotel next door. I’m sorry to trouble you, but could you please make a trip there?”
