Chapter 595 It's You Who Are Fated to Be (1)
Then the next schedule on the list for the wedding was the brides throwing their bouquets.
Two brides meant a higher chance of receiving the bouquet, so the unmarried men and women present all scrambled for it to wish for good luck.
Nell stood at the front and shouted, "Audrey, Nataly, aim at me. I'm here. I'm here. Throw it to me!"
Audrey and Nataly stood side by side and then turned around. Finally, they threw the bouquets at the same time backwards according to the emcee's guidance.
The moment the bouquets were thrown backwards, the single men and women all rushed up in an attempt to catch them.
Nell was tall and strong enough to catch one of the bouquets which was close to her as she jumped up.
As soon as she received the bouquet, she raised it and shouted, "I got it. I got it."
But just as Nell finished shouting, she suddenly tripped and fell from the high platform with a scream.
This accident caused some chaos. At the same time, someone quickly went up to help Nell up.
"Are you alright?" the one asked.
Nell grinned as she stood up. "I'm fine. I'm fine!"
But when she attempted to make a step, she instantly felt a sharp pain in her ankle, which made her wrinkle her face in pain. What made the situation worse was that she twisted the foot which had been previously injured.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
It hurt so much.
Audrey and Nataly both walked over worriedly.
"Nell, are you alright?"
"Nell, did you hurt yourself?"
Nell's face twisted in pain as she waved her hand without much thought. "I'm fine. I just twisted my ankle. I'll be good after a rest."
Audrey immediately said, "No way. You'd better go to the hospital since you fell from such a high platform! I'll have someone send you to the hospital."
"Don't bother. I'll..."
Before Nell could finish speaking, a gentle voice came from behind. "Leave it to me. I'll drive Ms. Nell to the hospital!"
Hearing this familiar voice, Nell could not help but lower her head.
She carefully looked back and was instantly stunned.
The voice sounded like James, and it turned out it was him!
"No, don't bother. I'll go by myself!"
James looked down at Nell's swollen ankle. "Are you sure you can make it by yourself? Or do you want an amputation?"
Nell was left speechless.
Although she knew he was exaggerating the situation, she was still somewhat afraid. When she was discharged from the hospital before, the doctor had told her to be careful with this foot since it might be amputated if she twisted it again. But she thought the situation wouldn't be that terrible.
Since James offered help, Audrey immediately agreed readily.
"Mr. Walker, I'll appreciate it if you're willing to send Nell to the hospital."
Nell thought, 'What? James is going to send me to the hospital?'
Nell instantly shook her head. "No, don't bother. How can I bother Mr. Walker to condescend to do it? I just saw Quentin there. He can drive me to the hospital!"
Hearing her words, James firmly held Nell's arm. "Quentin needs to stay to keep his girlfriend company. Let me give you a ride, or are you going to give up the exclusive interview?"
Nell was left speechless again.
She found James so detestable. He had previously promised her the chance of having an exclusive interview with him as long as she worked as his assistant for some time. But he had been making excuses that he wasn't available to delay the interview until now.
But on Audrey's and Nataly's wedding day, it was improper for her to stay here like this. So she gritted her teeth. "Fine, thank Mr. Walker for giving me a ride. Audrey, Nataly, wish you a happy marriage." As soon as Nell finished speaking, James bent down to pick her up.
Nell cried in surprise and immediately realized what James was doing.
She thought, 'Jesus, I can't be carried away by James in front of so many guests present here. If Mr. Hall hears any gossip about it...'
"Mr. Walker, please put me down."
"Can you walk now?"
"You can carry me when we get out of here, or people will gossip about us! Besides, if your future fiancée sees us like this, she will misunderstand," Nell tried to convince him patiently. James's face darkened, but he still firmly walked outside with Nell in his arms.
"Don't talk nonsense, or I will throw you down!"
Nell fell silent.
She had to stop talking lest James would do as he said.
But she couldn't understand why James insisted on carrying her. She even thought that he probably did so on purpose to make it difficult for her to find a date.
She could even be aware of people's gazes.
She could only hide her face by burying it deeper in James's arms.
Nell didn't dare to reveal her face until they were outside the hotel.
When they stopped beside James's car, Nell impatiently got rid of James's arms and limped into the car to save being hugged by him again.
In the hospital.
A harsh female voice came from the doctor's office.
Nell looked at the middle-aged bald doctor in disbelief. "What did you say? Do I have to be hospitalized? Doctor, I just sprained. Why do I have to be hospitalized? Aren't some massages and a piece of plaster enough for it?"
The doctor looked at Nell seriously. "Since your foot has been injured before, you might be at the risk of relapsing into a fracture given the examination just now. So you have to stay in the hospital for two days for further observation. Otherwise, you might be crippled in the future."
Nell was so speechless.
She hated to be hospitalized again when her parents were away to visit her grandmother in the countryside.
After the doctor finished speaking, he turned around to lecture James, who was standing behind Nell. "Sir, what a terrible boyfriend you are! Your girlfriend is injured again after just being discharged for two months. Why can't you take good care of her? Don't be so careless in the future."
Nell was somewhat embarrassed.
After all, it had nothing to do with James.
Nell was just about to explain that he was not her boyfriend.
James said ahead of her, "I see."
