Eve Sherman still wanted to refuse, but Lucas had already turned the car around and drove off in another direction.
Throughout the drive, Stellan Sutton didn’t speak, his brows slightly furrowed as he focused on Eve Sherman’s arm.
Seemingly aware of his gaze, Eve Sherman quietly moved her body to the right side of the passenger seat to avoid his scrutiny.
Honestly, she hadn’t thought much about it at the time.
Moreover, Stellan Sutton was truly good to her, unlike Phillip Langdon; he was quite a decent boss.
Even though it hurt, seeing that Stellan Sutton was okay, she sighed with relief and only now felt the lingering fear.
“That person’s intelligence level was lacking, and it’s just a superficial wound for me.
President Sutton, please don’t pursue it further; minimizing the impact is best.”
Just as Eve Sherman finished speaking, Lucas turned and gave her a glare.
“That’s not acceptable; this matter must be pursued, or they’ll become lawless.
Even if the law protects those with intellectual disabilities, we have to hold his family accountable and also those present at the time!”
Stellan Sutton nodded, “Lucas is right; as for how to handle it later, I’ll decide based on the extent of your injury.”
Eve Sherman sighed and didn’t say anything more.
Half an hour later, the car pulled up in front of a tall building, where a man in a white coat, accompanied by several nurses, stood waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing Eve Sherman emerge with her arm bandaged under Stellan Sutton’s care, his expression changed, and he quickly came forward.
“You were in such a rush I thought something happened and rushed over from home.
Who is this?”
“My assistant, stabbed with scissors, please take her for an examination quickly.”
After Stellan Sutton finished speaking, he gestured for the person to take Eve Sherman first.
She didn’t seem to have any objections, yet they pressed her into a wheelchair and wheeled her in like a gust of wind.
Luckily, it was just a superficial wound.
After disinfecting, they stitched up with over ten stitches and then gave a tetanus shot before arranging for her to lie in a high-end ward for an IV drip.
Outside in the hallway, Stellan Sutton was talking with Ethan Cameron.
Ethan handed him a cup of coffee, jokingly saying, “For just a superficial wound, you’ve troubled me, a medical genius—aren’t you overqualified for this?”
Stellan Sutton shook his head helplessly, “You’re the Sutton Family’s exclusive doctor; of course, I’d look for you.”
“By the way, your assistant is very young but quite tough.
When I was disinfecting and treating her wound, she gritted her teeth and didn’t make a sound, really enduring it.”
Stellan Sutton fell silent, not saying a word.
He also noticed that this woman worked as if she was fighting for her life.
“Oh, before I came here, I was at the Suttons doing a check-up for the old man, your mom was there too.
When she heard you called me, she kept asking about it.
I didn’t say, so she’s probably a little upset.
Remember to explain for me, or she’ll complain to my mom, and I’ll get another scolding.”
Ethan glanced at his watch, “Alright, I have other matters to attend to.
Once her IV is done, she can be discharged.
She can come here to change the dressing or go to another hospital.
The IV needs to continue for four days.”
“You go ahead and handle your business.”
After Stellan Sutton finished speaking, he watched Ethan leave before politely knocking on the door of Eve Sherman’s hospital room.
He waited a few seconds before pushing the door open and entering.
During the stitching, Eve Sherman’s shirt had been cut and her arm was mostly exposed.
Seeing Stellan Sutton, she awkwardly covered her wound and murmured, “I’m fine, thank you, President Sutton, for your concern.”
Stellan Sutton courteously averted his gaze and sat on the sofa beside, “In the future, leave such matters for me to handle.
You’re just my employee; there’s no need to go all out.
Just do your job well.”
Eve Sherman pressed her lips and nodded, “I understand, President Sutton.”
He’s really strange.
Most bosses wish their employees would work themselves to the bone to utilize their full potential until they burn out, yet he doesn’t want his employees to overexert themselves.
“Thank you for saving me today.
Take your time to recover.
Leave work matters to Lucas.”
“Okay.”
Eve Sherman originally thought that now she was fine, and Stellan Sutton would leave.
Unexpectedly, he stepped out to the balcony to make a phone call, showing no intention of leaving.
Eve Sherman couldn’t just chase him away, making the atmosphere in the hospital room particularly awkward.
The IV had two large bottles, making the awkwardness suffocating.
Feeling helpless, she discreetly sent a message in the group chat: Emergency.
Who can come to the hospital to keep me company?
Wyatt Crawford immediately replied, asking for her location.
“Baby, wait for me, I’ll be there within half an hour!”
