Chapter 27 News Was Not Completely Fake
“Don’t move.”
Iverson’s cold voice rang in Amanda’s eardrums.
In this narrow space, even if Amanda wanted to make a move, there was not much room for her to make a move. Just as she thought that if she pushed herself against him with her knees at this time, it would not be considered biting the hand that fed her, Iverson said something.
“Didn’t I tell you not to move while pressing your wounds?”
Iverson had already removed the handkerchief from her hand and pressed it against the wound on her neck.
Amanda was taken aback. Luckily, she didn’t raise her knee that was ready to strike.
“Umm… it’s no longer bleeding.”
“Are you sure?”
Following Iverson’s gaze, Amanda lowered her head and saw fresh blood dripping down her neck, dyeing her white shirt red.
She cried out in surprise and immediately felt the pain in her neck. It was much worse than before.
“Mr. Byran, I’ll do it myself.”
“No need. Just stay here.”
Iverson’s tone was unquestionable as if he didn’t believe that Amanda could take good care of herself, not giving her a second chance.
Amanda’s raised hand was suddenly at a loss. After a long while, she could only silently put it back on her knee.
The lights in the car quickly dimmed, and it was excessively quiet.
The two silhouettes were vaguely reflected in the car window, and the extremely ambiguous posture made people’s imaginations wild.
Amanda rested on one of Iverson’s arms, and the other hand was on her neck. Amanda felt she was being held hostage, her entire body was stiff, and she didn’t dare to move.
She didn’t even dare to lean back, and her neck was almost stiff.
“Mr. Byran, let me do it myself. I promise I won’t touch it.”
Seeing that she was at a loss, Iverson was lost in thought, and only then did he let go of her.
As if granted amnesty, Amanda obediently pressed the handkerchief around her neck.
Iverson asked, “What’s going on today?”
“In the afternoon, I went to SW Law Office to discuss the divorce lawsuit with a lawyer, so I got into a taxi. I didn’t expect that they would arrange the taxi driver. Fortunately, I received a call from you.”
Speaking of this, Amanda remembered the phone call. “By the way, Mr. Byran, why did you call me this afternoon?”
Iverson said calmly, “It’s nothing. I’ll get Jamie to sort out the evidence for you today.”
“Thank you,” Amanda’s eyes lit up with joy. “After today’s incident, they won’t be able to win the lawsuit, and, likely, I won’t have to go to court anymore. Otherwise, the case will turn into a criminal case, and the Sean Family won’t be able to get the remaining half. It’s worth it.”
“Worthy?”
Iverson’s eyes darkened slightly.
Amanda’s heart skipped a beat. “From the perspective of offering and obtaining, is it not worth it?”
Iverson looked her straight in the eye, his gaze cold and oppressive. In a low voice, he said, “The total value of the entire Sean Group is not worth it.”
Amanda was stunned.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Under Iverson’s gaze, her neck slowly began to heat up.
She didn’t know what Iverson meant by that. Did he think that the assets of the Sean Group were not as valuable as hers? How was that possible? Everyone in the industry said that Iverson was a profit-seeking businessman.
Amanda’s heart was in a state of turmoil the entire way.
When the car stopped, Amanda returned to his senses and looked around. Puzzled, she asked, “Didn’t you say you were going to the hospital? Where is this place?”
As soon as Iverson got out of the car from the other side and buttoned his suit with one hand, he turned to look at Amanda and said lightly, “My villa.”
“What?”
Amanda’s expression changed drastically. “Your home?”
Before Amanda could ask why he had brought her here and not to the hospital, Iverson had already walked straight into the villa. As he walked, he asked, “Has Theo arrived yet?”
“Mr. Scott arrived 10 minutes ago. He’s been waiting for you in the living room.”
Amanda was still rooted to the spot when the maid reminded her, “Miss Jewell, it’s windy outside. Come in quickly. Mr. Scott is waiting for you inside.”
Only then did Amanda return to her senses and catch up with the maid.
Amanda looked around and found that the vast manor was magnificent. The High-end style villa in front of her was one of the top ten luxury houses in Ducco all year round.
Thanks to Iverson, she had managed to make it all the way here in her lifetime.
The maid led Amanda into the house.
“Theo.”
Iverson’s cold voice echoed in the room.
The man in front of the display cabinet turned around. He was dressed in a white coat, which made him look taller and more slender. He had been reading some gadgets in front of an antique cabinet, but when he heard Iverson calling him, he turned around.
“Is this the patient you asked me to treat?”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the male doctor’s tone was not very friendly. He looked Amanda up and down from head to toe and said thoughtfully, “It seems that the news is not completely false.”
Amanda’s expression froze slightly, and she clenched her fists tightly.
However, Iverson said, “I called you here to see a patient, not to gossip.”
Theo Scott raised his eyebrows and put the antiques in his hand back on the display cabinet, “Let me see where your injuries are.”
Seeing Amanda was still in a daze, Iverson patted his side and said, “Come here.”
Theo’s gaze became even more complicated.
Amanda didn’t walk over. Instead, she sat on the single-seater sofa as if trying to avoid arousing suspicion.
“Just a neck injury?”
“Yes.”
Theo opened the medicine box he carried with him and took a pair of tweezers to lift the handkerchief around Amanda’s neck carefully.
Since Amanda was pressing against the wound to stop the bleeding, the congealed blood stuck the handkerchief to the wound, making it seem like she would tear off some of the skin and tissue of the wound.
Amanda gasped.
As soon as Theo took off her handkerchief, weapons hitting each other could be heard. Theo frowned and said, “Iverson, do you think I have nothing to do? Did you call me here in the middle of the night to treat such a small wound? You can even find a clinic to treat it for her.”
Iverson said coldly, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Since Theo had already come here, he could not ignore the patient’s injury because it was too light. Theo could only continue to treat Amanda, and his attitude became more impatient than before. “First disinfection the wound and apply some medicine to it in two days.”
Amanda wasn’t sure if the doctor was doing this on purpose. Still, when he disinfected her wound, she felt like he was poking a cotton ball with disinfectant into the wound.
Amanda tried his best to endure the pain, but she couldn’t control her expression. Her facial features were almost deformed from the pain.
“Be gentle. This is not at your army.”
Iverson’s voice rang out from behind.
Theo rolled his eyes at him, “Why don’t you do it?”
Although he looked impatient, Theo’s hand movements were much gentler. After dealing with the wound, he put gauze on it and said, “I can’t guarantee that there will be no scar. Don’t be watered for the next two days. Eat lightly and quit drinking.”
Amanda didn’t care about leaving a scar at all. It was already a blessing in misfortune that the knife had not cut her face.
