Chapter 502 It was an accident
She had wanted to wait outside for the Christine Camp woman to come out, before she took care of the woman.
But now she couldn’t wait any longer, and if she did, that Christine Camp woman would be crawling into Baird’s bed!
In the office of the president of The Lane Family Group, Christine White doesn’t realize that Molly Bort is already on her way to get her in trouble.
She was put on the couch by Baird Lane and watched him call for a doctor, her eyes flashing, “President Lane, do you think we’ll be misunderstood?”
“Misunderstand what?” Baird Lane put down the landline microphone and looked toward her.
Christine White propped her hand on the armrest of the sofa, “Of course it’s our relationship, just now when you carried me up here, it was seen by a lot of people, they will definitely speculate on what exactly our relationship is.”
“Just let them guess.” Baird Lane returned unimpressed.
Christine White laughed softly, “President Lane you’re really looking out for yourself, but if they say test I’m the little love interest you found for President Lane, won’t all your image be ruined, President Lane?”
“No.” Baird Lane came over and sat down across from her.
Christine White looked at him, “Why not.”
“My staff doesn’t chew the cud, and you’re no little flirt, so I’ll let Gates explain afterward.” Baird Lane poured her a glass of water.
Christine White took over, “That’s right, then please ask President Lane, especially Mrs. Lane’s place, what happened today will definitely reach Mrs. Lane’s ears, you must explain it clearly to her, otherwise she will misunderstand again.”
She said as if offhandedly.
Baird Lane’s brow furrowed at that and he said quietly, “You don’t have to care about her.”
“Why?”
Baird Lane’s thin lips twitched and he was just about to speak when there was a knock on the office door.
Baird Lane narrowed his eyes in displeasure, but swallowed back the words and turned his mouth, “Come in!”
The person at the door was given permission and gently pushed the door in, a doctor in a white coat.
“President Lane,” the doctor greeted Baird Lane first.
Baird Lane pointed to Christine White’s ankle, “Come here and show her.”
“Yes.” The doctor glanced at Christine White and thought to himself that this was the woman that the group said President Lane was hugging… It’s really quite pretty… No wonder President Lane, who has always stayed away from women’s colors, was also moved.
It just seems like I’ve seen it somewhere.
But he couldn’t remember exactly where he’d seen it before, but it looked really familiar.
Without much time to think, the doctor, fearing to arouse Baird Lane’s displeasure, hastily removed the medical kit from his shoulder and stepped forward to examine Christine White’s ankle.
The doctor nodded as the examination came down and twisted to open the medical kit, rummaging through it for sterilizing iodine.
Baird Lane stood by and asked, “Is she badly twisted?”
“It’s quite serious, it’s all dislocated and misaligned, and it’s also strained the ligaments, so you won’t be able to walk normally for at least half a month, but luckily it didn’t hurt the bones.” The doctor returned after finding iodine.
Christine White raised an eyebrow when she heard the state of her injuries and didn’t say anything.
On the contrary, when Baird Lane heard the doctor say that he hadn’t hurt any bones, his expression was faintly and inexplicably relieved, and even his heart was inexplicably lighter.
“This young lady, I’m going to set your bones next, so bear the pain.” The doctor put on a pair of medical gloves and gently reminded Christine White.
Christine White nodded her head to show that she knew, then took a deep breath, gripped the couch cover tightly with both hands, and looked at the doctor, signaling that she was ready to do it.
The doctor, authorized by her, reached out and took hold of her foot, breaking it with a forceful, quick and hard motion.
With just a click, the doctor removed his hand from Christine White’s foot, “There.”
Christine White opened her eyes with a pale face and seemed to be in disbelief, “That’s it?”
“It’s really good, the young lady can try to move around a bit.” The doctor said.
Christine White did as she was told and found that she could actually move her foot and a surprised smile lifted her face, “It’s really better, it just still hurts.”
“It’s normal, a strained ligament, recuperate for about half a month, when the ligament recovers you’ll be fine.” The doctor sprays Christine White with an analgesic.
Baird Lane also handed Christine White a tissue, “Wipe the sweat.”
Christine White sniffed and raised her hand to touch her forehead, only to realize that it was actually wet with sweat.
It should be a cold sweat from the pain from just righting the bones.
“Thanks.” Christine White smiled and took the tissue.
Baird Lane hmmm’d, his thin lips parting as he looked at her with complicated eyes, “You were in pain just now, weren’t you?”
“Hmm?” Christine White paused slightly in her movements.
Baird Lane repeats, “When you were squaring the bones, I saw your face go white with pain, so why didn’t you yell out?”
Christine White cocked her head, “Why are you yelling?”
“Shouldn’t you scream when it hurts?” Baird Lane was a little confused.
For some reason, he felt in his heart that she should be the kind of person who would cry out when she was in pain.
Instead of just now, when it was obvious that the pain was excruciating, he gritted his teeth and held back.
Christine White looked down and smiled meaningfully, “I should yell out when it hurts, but I don’t do that kind of thing.”
“Hmm?” Baird Lane wrinkled his eyebrows in confusion.
Christine White looked at her red and swollen ankle, her voice was filled with coldness, “Those who would cry out in pain are usually weak, and I am strong, so I don’t need to cry out, not to mention that this bit of pain is nothing, I’ve been through much more pain than this pain, and much more pain yet.”
“And much more pain?” Hearing her say this, Baird Lane’s heart suddenly seized with some discomfort.
Christine White picks up, “Yes, the pain of much pain, that can really be worse than death, so orthopedic this point of pain compared to that kind of pain, it is simply a small thing.”
“That pain you say is worse than death, is it something to do with the enemy you’re trying to avenge?” Baird Lane asked.
When she had just said the words life was worse than death, he had seen the flash of hatred in her eyes.
Christine White hooked her lips, “Yes, it does have something to do with my enemy, because the kind of pain I’m talking about was inflicted on me by my enemy.”
Baird Lane pursed his thin lips and didn’t say anything more, unable to help the disgust rising in his heart for the enemy she spoke of.
What exactly did the man she calls her enemy do to her?
The doctor who was silently applying medicine to Christine White on the side, seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly become so depressing, silently shrunk his neck to reduce his presence.
When he had finished administering Christine White’s medication, he left a few bottles of the medicine she would need afterward, and made a quick excuse to leave.
Not long after he left, Gates came in, looking exasperated, “President Lane, the cause of the elevator accident was found.”
Baird Lane’s eyes sharpened, “What’s the reason?”
Christine White also looked at Gates for that answer.
Gates sighed, “This elevator accident was an accident, not man-made, and the main cause was that the elevator’s pulleys were rusty and hadn’t been lubricated in a while, so the chain wasn’t smooth when descending resulting in the problem.”
“Rusty pulleys?” Baird Lane’s face grimaced, “How can they be rusty? What’s going on over in maintenance?”
“It’s the fault of the maintenance side because the dedicated elevator, which only President Lane you ride, has the lightest load and is the least likely to have an accident, so the maintenance side went negative and didn’t do regular inspections.” Gates said.
Baird Lane’s fists clenched in anger, “Outrageous, give notice that everyone in the maintenance department is fired and the industry is informed that no one is allowed to hire them!”
Just because it’s not easy to get into trouble, it’s passive-aggressive. Who would dare to put their heart into hiring such a person!
Luckily today it’s just a rusty chain, if the chain broke, who would be responsible for the consequences!
And he wasn’t the only one riding the elevator today, there was Christine Camp, The Camp Family’s daughter, so if something happened to her at his place, how would The Camp Family stop?Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
