Mr. Charles's Hidden Wife novel Chapter 61

Lifting the clothes a little up from the skin, Wendy began to fan her wound with her palms. Then she rushed to get a cup of cold water, pouring it down on her clothes to cool her skin down.

But it's a dress. So she could not just turned it over to check her skin.

Seeing Wendy's painful face, that woman curled her lips into a smile. Then she pretended sorry and said, "Oh my god, young girl, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to pour the coffee on you."

Wendy looked up.

She would say "That's all right", if this woman was really innocent.

But...

"We haven't even touched. So why did you pour your coffee on me?"

"What do you mean? We just met. Are you implying that I did that on purpose? "

"Aren't you?"

Their quarrel quickly attracted quite a lot of onlookers.

Seeing this, the woman pulled Wendy out of pantry.Then she began to make a show, "You guys, come here to help us judge this situation. I made coffee. When I turned around, she and I happened to collide with each other. My coffee was splashed a little onto her, and I soon apologized to her. But then she framed me and said that I did that on purpose. It was just an incident. But how could she fit me up?"

Looking at her hypocritical face, Wendy felt annoyed.

She was so unlucky.

People around started to smooth things over. Maybe because she was just a temporary worker, they were all trying to explain it for the woman, persuading her to not make a fuss.

"Wendy, don't be angry. In this office, we are all friends. No one would intentionally do this to you."

"That's right. It's just a small thing. Lily has said sorry to you. We can just let it go at that."

Looking at the crowd, Wendy knew nobody would trust her, even if she explained she did not touch her at all.

Perhaps, even they trusted Wendy's words. But given to the fact that she was only a contractor, they would still choose to help Lily.

After shooting Lily a cold look, Wendy walked out to the washroom.

She slowly lifted her clothes. Then she found that her lower abdomen had already turned red and swollen.

A colleague happened to walk inside. Then she was astonished by the injury.

She then walked to her, "It looks serious. Wendy, you should go to the hospital now."

Wendy was also afraid that it would get worse.

So enduring the pain, Wendy left the washroom to ask a leave from her supervisor.

Hearing that Wendy was going to the hospital to check the injury. Lily snorted, "What a princess! It's just some water not a bullet."

Wendy said coldly, "It's boiling water."

"But it was blocked by your clothes."

"Lily, there were even blisters on Wendy's stomach. I saw it in the washroom just now. It looks pretty serious." said the woman Wendy just met.

Lily looked at her coldly, "Joye, stay away from our business. I know you do not like me. But you can just tell a lie."

"A lie? I saw it with my own eyes just now. The fact is that young girl's lower abdomen was actually burned by you. And you should take the responsibility."

Just then, the manager's office door was pushed open. Johnson walked out and asked unhappily, "What's going on here? Why do you make a ruckus here? Wanting to be fired? All of you."

Lily pouted her mouth, walking to Johnson. "Mr. Johnson, I really can not stay here anymore. I have been working here for so many years. But just now, I was framed by a new contractor. How can I stand that?"

Lily then repeated her words that she said in the pantry before.

Before Johnson could make any reply, Joye walked over to him first. Then she said, "Mr. Johnson, please just let Wendy go to the hospital first. She has get burned and needs to go the hospital. I am afraid her skin will get worse. Even she is just a contractor, we can not let others to say that we are abusing out worker, am I right?"

Lily took a step forward to glare at Joye, "What do you mean by that?

"You are clear about what you have done. It's you that did the wrong thing. Then how could you be so arrogant? "

"Oh my, isn't there any justice? I have apologized to her. But she framed me on purpose, and she was targeting me."

"She just graduated. This was only her second day here. Why does she need do that to you?"

Johnson berated him with displeasure, "What are you doing? You all shut up."

He walked up to Wendy and said, "Wendy, you should go to the hospital first."

Wendy shot a cold eye to Lily through the corner of her eye. "The God knows who is the bad guy."

Getting near to the table, Wendy then took her bag and left. 

It was a mild scald with some edema.

Fortunately, the thick clothes blocked some of the hot water. Then she did the right thing to pour some cold water on the wound in the first place. Otherwise it would become worse.

Before wrapping it with gauze, the doctor applied some medicine on her wound carefully.

Wendy then paid the bill and left.

She was coming out from the emergency room; Henson running into the lobby.

Henson found her at first sight. Then he strode to her and asked, "How are you now?"

"Why are you here?" said Wendy in shock.

"I'm asking you." Henson asked anxiously, "How is your injury now?"

Wendy waved the receipts of payment in front of Henson's eyes. "It's not a big deal. The doctor has treated me."

"Which doctor?"

"The one from the emergency room." 

It was just behind Wendy's back. So Henson went into it directly. After confirming it, Henson then felt reassured.

He then let out a long breath with relief. "Why didn't you call me to send you here?" Henson walked to Wendy and asked unhappily.

Wendy pouted, "Why should I? You are not a doctor."

"But I am your boss."

Wendy laughed for her childish behavior. "Then my big boss, may I ask you a question? I get hurt during the work hour.  So as a contractor like me, can I get the reimbursement for my medical expenses?"

Looking at Wendy, Henson sighed helplessly. How could she even had the mood to make a joke?

She really scared her just now. 

They left the hospital together to his car. They just got into the car, Wendy letting out a painful cry while fastening her seat belt.

Henson was scared by her again. He frowned to ask, "What's wrong?"

"The seat belt touched my injuries."

"Then go to take the back seat."

Wendy accepted his advice. Henson looked at her worriedly. He asked bitterly, "Who did this? If he even can not hold his cup, then how can I trust his ability at work? What a trash!"

"Her name is Lily. She just apologized to me. But she claimed that she did not do this on purpose."

Henson could not believe Wendy was so foolish. Looking at her face through the review mirror, Henson asked unhappily. "So you buy her story and said never mind?"
