LittleNovelChapter 241
Mr. Burton glanced at Rachel's hand with a mocking smirk. "Well, you'd better rush to the hospital, or else that
wound might just heal itself before you get there," he quipped sarcastically.
Marvin chimed in, "Ms. Pearce, it's just a scrape, really. Does it hurt that much? When | bump into things, | don't
even shed a tear. You're acting like you're not even as tough as a five-year-old!"
Rachel put on a tic show, acting as if she were about to faint, though she wasn't backing down verbally.
"Little one, my body isn't like everyone else's... Last week, | accidentally cut my finger and bled a lot. Haynie was
so worried | might have sserious aftereffects that he insisted | get checked at the hospital.
Haynie knows my current situation is unique. If | get injured, | bleed like there's no tomorrow. He even had blood
packs prepared just in case..."
"When | got to the hospital, they were dealing with an emergency, and the blood that was meant forwent to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsomeone with a more severe bleeding issue."
"When Haynie found out, he was furious. What if | couldn't stop bleeding? He ended up having all the staff
involved in that decision fired."
"He's just overly anxious. It was just a small cut, no need for a transfusion, really."
Rachel was sharing all this to let Stella know just how much Haynes fussed over her. She was also hinting that if
anything happened to her, Haynes wouldn't take it lightly.
Stella looked at Rachel with a smile. "Ms. Pearce, don't worry. I'll just call Haynes and have him cpick you
up.”
Rachel was taken aback, surprised that Stella wasn't angry but was instead offering to call Haynes.
"Ms. Cameron, really, it's no big deal. Just a little scratch, no need to bother him..."
Ignoring Rachel's protests, Stella picked up her phone and dialed Haynes.
Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in Rachel's eyes. So, she thought, this was just an excuse to talk to Haynes.
But Haynes would never take her call.
Yet, before she could finish that thought, the call connected.
"Stella, what's up?" Haynes asked, his voice surprisingly devoid of its usual
coldness, perhaps due to something Stella had said earlier.
Stella replied, "Ms. Pearce cut her hand while picking out sherbs. You should
probably take her to get it checked out."
Haynes' tone darkened, "Is it serious?"

Stella glanced at Rachel's hand. "You'll know once you're here."
Before Haynes could respond, his secretary, Lacey, could be heard in the
background. "Mr. O'Brien, the meeting is ready for you."
Acknowledging Lacey, Haynes told Stella, "I've got a meeting starting, can't leave right now. If it's not too bad,
have Mr. Burton patch her up."
Stella insisted, "Ms. Pearce's condition is so delicate, we wouldn't dare treat it ourselves. If it gets infected, we
can't take the blame. Her health is too precious; you should take her to the hospital."
Haynes was silent for a moment. "Senda photo, letsee how serious it is."
"Photos and videos just won't do her condition justice. She was practically in tears from the pain. You really
should csee for yourself."
Stella paused, "Of course, if you choose not to, and she passes out from blood loss or something worse happens,
we won't be held responsible."
