Chapter 209: Chapter 166: Be Gentle, It Hurts 2

He looked her up and down: "Go get an X-ray, otherwise I won’t know how badly you’re injured."

"But I’m afraid... I might run into him outside."

"Did he come with you?"

Sebastian bit his lip and shook his head: "When I escaped from him, I only saw him chasing after me, but I don’t know if he followed the taxi I took here.

Roman, I know, I shouldn’t come to you and pretend to be pitiful.

But I’m really scared, no one knows how terrifying Lucas Warren can be.

At a time like this, I simply cannot turn to Hunter.

He’s already made it clear to me.

He already has a wife, and I can’t let my presence affect his family.

I can’t bring myself to come between someone else’s family, so I really have no other options.

In Eldoria, you’re the only one who can help me."

Roman Hughes scratched his forehead in frustration; helping with this matter was sure to complicate things for him.

But looking at Sebastian looking so pitiful now, if he could remain indifferent, he would indeed be heartless.

"Get up, I’ll go with you for the check-up, don’t worry, since you’ve come to find me by name, I’ll help you to the end."

Roman walked to the door and opened it. Sebastian hesitated for a moment but eventually got up and slowly followed him out.

They needed to go to the emergency radiology department at night for the X-ray. After sending her into the radiology department, Roman waited in the hallway.

He hesitated to call Hunter Warren, but remembering how Hunter and Faye Townsend were lovingly together in the hospital, he really couldn’t bring himself to disturb them.

This was the kind of affection Hunter must have longed for, disrupting it now would surely make Hunter furious.

As friends, he really couldn’t bring himself to ruin Hunter’s joyous mood.

But not saying anything right now felt frustrating.

Clearly, this was Hunter Warren’s problem, so why was it him who felt burdened?

Sebastian slowly walked out of radiology, and Roman pointed to a chair in the hallway: "Sit for a while, it’ll take a few minutes for the X-rays to come out."

Sebastian nodded, and Roman went in, soon bringing the film out.

He took her to the emergency hall to view the X-ray on the lightbox.

Her right arm had some slight injuries, indicating a minor fracture.

After taking down the X-ray, he returned to Sebastian and asked, "Besides your right arm, are there any other injuries?"

Sebastian bit his lip: "He hit my head and chest a few times. At the time, I felt dizzy, but after a while in the taxi, I felt much better, and now I don’t feel unwell anymore."

Roman clicked his tongue, wondering what kind of life she was living that she could endure such situations.

Honestly, if it were him, he might have filed for divorce long ago.

"Your arm isn’t too badly injured, but I should still put it in a cast for stability.

In Eldoria, it’s said that it takes a hundred days to recover from musculoskeletal injuries, so you should take good care of yourself."

Sebastian nodded and went back to the ward with him.

After treating her wound, Roman checked the time: "It’s getting late, let me take you home."

Sebastian was somewhat emotional, shaking her head vigorously: "No, I can’t go back.

Lucas knows where I live, and my fleeing back to Eldoria to find Hunter has already angered him; he won’t let me go.

If he catches me again, it won’t be so easy to escape this time."

Roman frowned: "Then what do you plan to do, you can’t hide forever."

Sebastian hesitated for a moment and asked: "Roman, I brought my bank card. Could you help me with admission procedures?

I want to hide in the hospital for a few days. Once Lucas can’t find me after a few days, he should give up."

Admitting her? Easy to say, but she is also the Grand Lady of the Warren Family, placing her in a regular ward will surely cause a media frenzy.

The two Warren family ladies both hospitalized, with the second wife in VIP and the grand wife in a regular ward.

Who knows what kind of negative impact this could have on Hunter.

And if she stays in VIP, Faye Townsend is there too—who knows what trouble could arise if they meet.

Roman looked at her cast-covered arm and recalled her words; if Lucas really caught her again, wouldn’t that just be another human tragedy?

After hesitating briefly, Roman patted her shoulder: "Wait here, let me make a call to see if there’s a free room upstairs."

"Thank you, Roman, I won’t forget your great kindness."

What a flattering statement.

Roman walked out and directly dialed Hunter Warren’s number; it was best to discuss this matter with him.

"Hello." On the other end, Hunter’s voice was quiet.

"Faye’s sleeping?"

"Just fell asleep. What’s up?"

"There’s something I need to discuss with you; um, don’t get excited, I’m not volunteering for this.

Just now, a patient I received in emergency was Sebastian; she was found by Lucas and suffered domestic violence again."

Hunter stood in the hallway, silent.

"Sebastian has a minor fracture in her right arm and needs to be hospitalized for a few days. Since she’s your family’s daughter-in-law, I dare not place her in a regular ward to avoid affecting your reputation, so... if she goes upstairs, will that trouble you?"

Hunter’s silence made Roman feel a bit uneasy.

"Buddy, you can’t just stay quiet; help me make a decision here.

Ever since blabbering in front of Sebastian brought her back, I’ve regretted it.

Now facing her matters, I sincerely don’t dare to decide alone."

Hunter sighed: "You’re the doctor, you handle this yourself.

Just, if she comes up, make sure her room is far from Faye’s room.

I know her intentions, and I won’t allow her to approach Faye unnecessarily.

Roman, I’ve already decided that I want to hold Faye’s hand for the rest of my life.

I won’t be swayed, and I’m not worried about her coming upstairs affecting me.

But I am concerned about Faye’s feelings."

"Alright, with you saying this, I’m relieved."

After hanging up, Roman returned to the ward: "Sebastian, there is a bed available, but there’s something I must clarify with you beforehand.

Last night, Faye ate something bad and is also hospitalized upstairs.

Truthfully, I didn’t want to admit you for hospitalization.

But considering your special circumstances, I had to make an exception.

I have just one request: once you’re up there, avoid any conflicts with Faye and Hunter.

I’ll treat you as a normal VIP patient without any special treatment."

"Faye is also hospitalized? Is she alright?"

Roman shook his head: "She’s fine, shouldn’t be staying more than a few days. Come on, let’s go upstairs; I’ll have the nurse register you for admission."

"Roman, thank you, I finally understand why you were so troubled just now.

I’m really sorry, it seems I’ve caused you a lot of trouble.

But rest assured, I won’t bother them; I have my pride too."

Roman nodded and patted her on the left shoulder: "Alright, let’s head upstairs."

After settling her into the room, Roman didn’t linger and stepped out.

He arrived at Faye’s room, peeked in, and saw Hunter already lying on Faye’s bed, holding her while she slept.

Upon hearing the sound at the door, Hunter glanced over and quietly stepped out.

Roman pointed to one of the rooms at the end: "I’ve placed her in the back of the Bone Department’s ward.

Don’t worry, I’ve already told her about you two being here and asked her not to disturb you; she agreed."

Hunter glanced that way: "Alright, I know. You should go home and rest, it’s late."

"If anything comes up, call me anytime."

After Roman left, Hunter didn’t hesitate to turn back into the room.

He thought it necessary for Faye to know about this, so early the next morning, he told her.

Upon learning that Sebastian was hospitalized here due to domestic abuse and a broken right hand, Faye was silent for a long time.

Hunter came forward, gently rubbing her head: "Don’t worry, I’m here to protect you."

Faye looked up at him with a smile on her lips: "I’m okay."

After all, this hospital isn’t hers alone; a patient like Sebastian deserves to be treated.

She wouldn’t let her personal feelings affect a patient’s treatment.

So... she was okay with it.

Moreover, even if she met Sebastian, it wouldn’t make things awkward now.

After already fighting once, what’s to fear from another fight?

"But I do have one request for you."

"Go ahead."

"You’re not allowed to feel sorry for her; after all, she’s not your wife." Faye pouted, unusually acting coyly.

Hunter laughed, lowered his head, and kissed her lips: "Seeing how concerned you are for me, I agree."

"What, if I weren’t concerned, you’d plan something else?" she glared at him.

Hunter’s hand gently caressed the back of her head with affection: "Didn’t I say? I’m like the chaste Liu Xiang reborn; apart from you, no one can get to me."

Faye blushed, then playfully hit his arm: "You’re annoying."

Talking is one thing; why flirt? This old rascal is getting more and more improper.

"Men are indeed nothing good."

Hunter smirked mischievously: "Men are only improper in front of the women they love, don’t you know?"

Faye was momentarily stunned: "Love?"

"Yes, love. I love you, which is why I act improper around you—it’s only natural."

"Did you just say you love me?" Faye gazed at him, somewhat bewildered.

Seeing her look like this, Hunter realized he had confessed his love too late.

He held her face and kissed her earnestly.

He kissed her eyelashes, her nose, her cheeks, and her lips.
