Chapter 818

The doctor provided Thomas with a prescription and told him how to take care of his injury.

However, Thomas didn't care about his wounds. He pointed at Vania and said, "Doctor, her foot was hurt as well.

Could you take a look at it, please?"

Vania didn't make her injury known since she wanted Thomas to get checked first.

There was only one attending physician after all.

Thomas' heart rate quickened when he saw the worried look in Vania's eyes.

This was the first time he had seen her looking at him like that.

He quickly turned to the doctor and repeated himself. "Quickly, doctor."

The doctor did as told at once. By now, bruises had formed on Vania's fair foot.

Thomas' heart twisted in pain.

He couldn't stand to see her beautiful foot covered in bruises.

"Does it hurt?" he asked with a frown.

"I'm fine."

Vania couldn't feel anything more. Perhaps her foot was numb from being hit by a heavy object.

"The bone is fine. You'll just need to apply this cream to the bruises three times a day."

She nodded, but Thomas snatched the cream before she could take it. "I'll apply it for you."

"No, it's fine. You're injured too. I can do it myself," she refused immediately.

In fact, she was stunned on the inside. She didn't know why Thomas was behaving this way.

Maybe he's just worried because I got hurt.

Still, he's shown too much concern for me today. It's a little over the top.

Liam, who had been standing at the side all this while, had noticed this too. He eyed Thomas with a peculiar

expression, but he didn't express what he was thinking aloud.

However, he sensed that the atmosphere was getting a little awkward, so he said half-jokingly, "I didn't think we'd

get into an accident just as soon as we took you out of the office, and you even got injured too. Hanson's going to

be so mad at me when he finds out."

He brought Hanson up off-handedly, but it was his way of reminding Thomas that Vania and Hanson were together

now.

Although Liam didn't know for sure why Thomas was acting the way he was, he still felt the need to say this.

Either way, being overly concerned wasn't a good sign.

Thomas, being the smart man that he was, picked up on Liam's subtle hint.

Did he find out about my feelings? Thomas thought of himself.

He had been too careless today. He needed to be more careful from now on.

"It was just an accident. He won't hold this against you," Thomas remarked after a pause.

Liam nodded along. "Looks like it's not a good day for us to visit the mine. Let's come again another day."

They couldn't make the trip up the mountain now after the accident.

Thomas saw the way Vania was limping as she walked. "I'll…"

He began to speak but quickly swallowed the rest of his words. Better not do anything that'll make Liam suspicious.

He wanted to say that he would carry Vania down.

Throughout the trip back, he tried his hardest to suppress his emotions.

…

"What happened, darling?" As soon as Vania entered the house, she was immediately swept off her feet by Hanson.

"What happened to your foot?" Hanson asked again.

He noticed that she was limping as she walked, so she told him about her visit to the jade mine.

He knew that she must've gotten injured there.

"I'm fine…"

"Quiet."

Hanson wanted to check for himself as he didn't trust her claims that she was fine.

He immediately took her socks off and cradled her foot in his hands as carefully as if he were holding a fragile

crystal.
